Questions & answers

Helpful answers

Quick answers from this business profile.

North Shore Masonry is Cream City brick and why does it need special care?
North Shore Masonry is a distinctive yellow-cream colored brick made from clay quarried in the Menomonee Valley. It was the signature building material in Milwaukee from the mid-1800s through the early 1900s. It's softer and more porous than modern brick, which means using the wrong mortar can cause serious damage. Standard portland cement mortar is too hard for Cream City brick. It traps moisture inside the brick, causing spalling and face loss. Lime-based mortars that match the original composition and allow the brick to breathe properly are used.
How do I know if my building needs tuckpointing?
North Shore Masonry is crumbling, gaps between bricks, sandy residue at the base of the wall, or mortar that can be scraped out with a key, repointing is overdue. Water stains on interior walls near exterior brick are another strong indicator. On many Milwaukee buildings built before 1940, the original mortar has eroded well past its useful life, and waiting only increases the scope and cost of the repair.
Do you handle chimney repair and rebuilding in Milwaukee?
Yes. North Shore Masonry repairs chimney mortar, rebuilds damaged sections, replaces crowns, installs caps, and applies waterproofing to prevent future damage. Milwaukee chimneys endure harsh conditions and ice damming at the roofline accelerates mortar failure. Chimneys on bungalows in Greenfield, duplexes in Riverwest, and older homes across Wauwatosa and Shorewood are routinely rebuilt.
Do you work on both residential and commercial buildings?
Yes. North Shore Masonry services single-family homes, duplexes, multi-unit buildings, condo associations, and commercial properties throughout Milwaukee and Southeast Wisconsin. Recent commercial projects include stone facade repair at the Marcus Center for the Performing Arts and stucco and masonry restoration on historic King Drive for the YWCA. The company works directly with property managers and building owners on phased projects requiring scheduling coordination and detailed documentation.
