Why Galesburg Property Owners Choose Arch Masonry

Why Galesburg’s Older Properties Need Specialist Masonry Care
Galesburg’s architectural heritage includes a large number of Victorian-era and early 20th century brick homes and commercial buildings. These structures were built with soft historic brick and lime-based mortars that require specialist knowledge during repair.
Using hard Portland cement mortar on older Galesburg brick forces freeze-thaw stress into the brick face rather than the mortar joint, causing brick spalling that is far more expensive to repair than the original mortar joint. Arch Masonry understands this distinction and brings the correct material approach to every Galesburg masonry restoration project.
