Reliable Masonry Contractors Serving Springfield, IL

Masonry Expertise for Historic and Commercial Properties

Springfield’s mix of landmark homes and active commercial buildings calls for two distinct specialties, and Force Masonry Construction brings both under one roof.

Masonry Services for Historic Homes

If you own a century-old property near downtown Springfield, matching new work to old craftsmanship matters as much as fixing the underlying problem. Our masonry restoration contractor team studies the original brick color, mortar composition and joint style before touching a wall. This helps our brick repair and restoration services blend into the existing facade instead of standing out.

We handle tuckpointing on soft historic brick with the same care we’d give a modern build, since older masonry often needs a gentler mortar mix to avoid accelerating damage. We can also do foundational work if necessary.

Masonry Solutions for Commercial and Public Buildings

Property managers overseeing schools, churches or municipal buildings in this area need a contractor who understands liability, code compliance and minimizing disruption to daily operations. Force Masonry Construction is well-versed in local building codes and historic masonry restoration and preservation standards, which matters for public buildings where compliance issues create risk.

Whether we’re diagnosing and fixing cracks above windows or reinforcing a wall that raises liability concerns, we provide clear timelines and reliable documentation for every commercial project.

Our Additional Masonry Services

Our crews also handle these supporting services:

• Chimney repair and rebuilds: We address cracked crowns, shifting caps and full structural rebuilds before flue damage or roofline separation gets worse.
• Retaining wall installation and repair: We do retaining wall installation and repair projects in brick, stone or decorative block, with drainage designed to prevent the water pressure that causes walls to bow.
• Foundation work: We do repairs, replacement, waterproofing, sealing and tuckpointing for block and brick foundations to keep your property’s structure stable and help prevent future issues.

Frequently Asked Questions

Here’s what property owners and managers most often ask before hiring us.

What areas do you serve near Springfield?

Our crews travel throughout Sangamon County, covering Chatham, Rochester, Sherman, Auburn, Riverton and Pleasant Plains. If your town isn’t listed here, reach out anyway to see if we can help.

Why are the bricks on my property suddenly flaking and crumbling?

This is called spalling, and it can be caused by Springfield’s freezing winter weather. When failing mortar allows moisture to seep behind your brickwork, that water freezes and expands during the winter. This internal pressure eventually forces the face of the brick to pop off.

Can Force Masonry Construction handle multiple commercial properties under one contract?

Yes. We regularly work with property managers overseeing several buildings, coordinating scheduling and documentation across each site.
