Restore and Repair Chicago Masonry Buildings
Dirt and atmospheric contaminants can be tough on buildings, causing even the newest structures to look old quickly.
While
RestoreWorks is recognized for our historic masonry cleaning, just imagine what we can do to clean up more contemporary buildings. The good news is you don't have to imagine. We can also revitalize building envelopes of any age. Have you ever noticed how employees, tenants, and customers begin to wonder what else might be wrong with a building when the exterior looks dirty and run-down? It creates a negative perception and can tarnish your reputation as a building owner/manager.
If your building looks older than its actual years, maybe it's time for a refresh. You'll be amazed at the difference a restorative masonry cleaning can make.

A Masonry Cleaning Crew That Works While You Rest
At RestoreWorks, we understand that every residential building or commercial property runs on its own schedule. That’s why our Chicago-based masonry cleaning crews operate during off-hours or overnight to minimize disruption for tenants, staff, or customers.
You’ll see visible progress each morning, without the daytime noise or inconvenience.
Our cleaning approach combines chemical cleaning, power washing, and other advanced techniques customized to your building’s surface. These methods safely restore the façade while preserving its structural integrity. If we identify any deterioration, our team can carry out precise masonry repair before the issue worsens.
Every project is led by an experienced project manager, ensuring the right materials, techniques, and workmanship are used from start to finish.
Cleaning the Wrigley Building Isn't the Same as Sidewalk Cleaning
We've done both and know the difference. All surfaces are not created equal. Each surface requires a different treatment as well as specialized knowledge and attention.
At RestoreWorks, we have the experience and expertise you expect from a trusted cleaning masonry contractor, using the right method to ensure success and complete customer satisfaction.
Restorative Masonry Cleaning FAQ's
What Is Restorative Masonry Cleaning?
Restorative masonry cleaning is the process of safely removing dirt, stains, and pollutants from masonry surfaces without damaging the structure. It’s commonly used on historic and commercial buildings to refresh the exterior while preserving its integrity.
Does My Building Qualify for Masonry Cleaning?
Yes, most buildings, whether old or new, can benefit from restorative cleaning. We clean a wide range of masonry, including limestone, terra cotta, granite, brick, and sandstone, and tailor the method to the condition of your façade.
Can You Repair Damage Found During the Cleaning Process?
Absolutely. If we uncover damage, such as deteriorated mortar joints, cracked surfaces, or water issues, our team can perform necessary repairs as part of our comprehensive maintenance and restoration services.
Do You Use Sandblasting to Clean Masonry?
We do not use sandblast techniques on sensitive or historic masonry. Instead, we use gentler cleaning methods like low-pressure water, chemical solutions, or soft brushing, each selected to match the surface and its condition.
