SMG Masonry was tasked with restoring the concrete stairs and brick columns of a classic Chicago bungalow. Over time, the original structures had deteriorated due to exposure to the elements, compromising both safety and aesthetics.
Our team carefully tore down the aging concrete staircases and brick columns, rebuilding them with durable materials to ensure longevity and structural integrity. The project included expert concrete work for the new stairs and tuckpointing to restore the brickwork, seamlessly blending the new construction with the home’s original architectural style.
This type of restoration is common for Chicago bungalows, and SMG Masonry’s craftsmanship helped revitalize the home’s curb appeal while reinforcing its foundational strength for years to come.
Over time, exposure to weather and natural wear caused the original stairs and brick columns to deteriorate, leading to safety concerns and structural instability. Rebuilding them ensured long-term durability, safety, and improved the home’s overall appearance.
Chicago bungalows commonly feature concrete staircases and brick columns, which are essential to their architectural style. Restoring these elements enhances curb appeal, preserves the home’s historic character, and prevents further structural damage.
We used high-quality concrete for the new stairs and carefully matched bricks and mortar for the columns. Additionally, tuckpointing was performed to reinforce the existing masonry and create a seamless, long-lasting finish.
The timeline depends on the extent of deterioration and the scope of work, but most bungalow staircase and column restorations can be completed within a few days to a couple of weeks, ensuring minimal disruption to homeowners.
