Masonry contractor in Wicker Park, Chicago.

Wicker Park (60622) carries some of the most varied residential stock on the North Side: 1880s–1890s Beer-Baron mansions on Pierce Avenue and Hoyne, Painted-Lady Victorians on Crystal and Pierce, common-brick three-flats and worker cottages on the side streets, and a stretch of storefront commercial brick at the Damen-Milwaukee-North six-corners. Brick and limestone trim are mixed across all of these.

Yes. Pierce Avenue between Damen and Hoyne carries the largest concentration of 1880s–1890s German-brewer mansions in Chicago — Queen Anne and Romanesque brick-and-limestone houses with carved stone trim, towers and slate roofs. Typical scope is matched-mortar repointing, limestone trim repair, stone stoop rebuild and conservation-grade brick replacement. We coordinate Landmarks Commission review where the address is individually designated.

Parts of it. The Wicker Park Historic District — covering blocks around the park itself and a stretch of Pierce, Hoyne and Caton — was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1979, and several individual properties are Chicago Landmarks. For most addresses inside that district, facade work requires Landmarks Commission review when the change is visible from the public way. We confirm landmark status by parcel before the visit.

Yes. The Painted-Lady Victorians on Crystal Street and the upper blocks of Pierce mix brick body walls with painted wood trim and limestone detail. The masonry scope focuses on the brick body, limestone window heads and stoop stones — typical work is matched-mortar repointing and stone repair without disturbing the painted trim.

Yes. The six-corners storefront strip is shared with Bucktown across North Avenue. Typical scope is storefront lintel replacement above the Flat Iron Building and the surrounding 1900s mixed-use brick, second- and third-floor tuckpointing, and Facade Ordinance follow-up on the taller blocks. Pedestrian protection at the corner is part of every scope here.

Three-flat and worker-cottage tuckpointing in Wicker Park runs $8–$22 per sq ft on common brick. Beer-Baron mansion restoration and Painted-Lady Victorian work with matched mortar and stone trim runs $20–$50 per sq ft because of the slower hand-tooled work and material matching. Six-corners commercial brick on swing-stage runs $20–$45 per sq ft.
