Chicago masonry service areas.
312 Masonry covers twelve service areas: seven Chicago North Side neighborhoods, three more city areas south and east of the Loop, and two north-suburban towns. Greystone tuckpointing on the North Side, loft and high-rise facades downtown and on the lakefront, institutional masonry in the suburbs — same crew, same scope discipline across all. Lincoln Park is the primary area; commercial requests are reviewed across the wider metro. Licensed, bonded, insured since 2007.

How do you decide service area?
We work twelve areas consistently. Seven on the North Side — Lincoln Park (primary), Lakeview, Logan Square, Lincoln Square, Old Town, Bucktown and Wicker Park — plus South Loop, Hyde Park and the Gold Coast in the city, and Prospect Heights and Glenview in the north and northwest suburbs. The choice is response time, building-stock fit and consistent supplier access, not a strict territory line. Commercial requests are reviewed across the wider metro.
Do you work outside the twelve listed areas?
Yes for commercial scope. Facade Ordinance work, lintel replacement, parapet rebuilds and large condo-board scopes are reviewed across the wider North Side, parts of the West Side and the north suburbs. Residential tuckpointing and brick repair outside the twelve is taken case by case, mostly driven by referral and proximity to a scheduled job.
What's the emergency response area?
All twelve listed areas plus the wider North Side for emergency calls — fallen brick, water intrusion, structural concerns. The 24/7 emergency line routes to the on-call crew lead. Triage happens by phone; on-site stabilisation typically within the same day or next morning.
How quickly do you book area jobs?
On-site estimates land inside 48 hours during the spring–fall season. Build starts depend on scope: residential tuckpointing typically books two to six weeks out; commercial scope with engineer and permit coordination runs longer. Winter requests get written scopes immediately and start dates booked for early spring.
Which area gets the most work?
Lincoln Park is the primary service area and carries the largest share of residential greystone and limestone work. Lakeview's East Lakeview Sheridan mid-rises drive the commercial Facade Ordinance scope. Old Town carries the most preservation-grade landmark restoration. The split changes by season but Lincoln Park leads year-round.
Do you handle commercial requests outside the twelve?
Yes. We run commercial scopes — Facade Ordinance critical-exam repairs, parapet rebuilds, lintel replacement, swing-stage tuckpointing — across the wider North Side, into adjacent West Side neighborhoods and the north suburbs. The pre-walk and engineer coordination still run inside the standard 48-hour window.
Call us — same line, same crew.
