Tuckpointing is the craft
Mortar joint grinding and repointing, brick replacement, chimney and parapet rebuilds, block and glass block, facade restoration. Masonry is what we lead with, and that focus is what keeps water out and walls standing.
About us
A family-run masonry company in Chicago
Alcantar's Tuckpointing is owner-operated by Jesus A. and Juan A., a family-run crew. Masonry restoration leads the work — bringing brick back to sound, weather-tight condition — and the same crew takes on the rest of the building when a job calls for it, on homes and commercial buildings across the city and suburbs.
Who we are
Owner-operated, on the scaffold
Alcantar's Tuckpointing is a two-owner operation. The same people who price the job are the people grinding out joints and setting brick, which is why the assessment you get is a straight one — there is nobody in between.
The crew works across Chicago and the surrounding suburbs: parapet and chimney rebuilds on city two-flats and greystones, facade and lintel repairs on suburban homes, and long runs of brick on commercial buildings.

How we work
What you can expect
You deal with the owners
The business is run hands-on by Jesus A. and Juan A.. You talk to the people doing the work, you get an honest assessment of what the building needs, and the estimate is free.
Full-service when you need it
Beyond masonry the team also handles flat roofing, gutter installation and cleaning, window and door replacement and general construction — one trusted crew for the whole building rather than three phone numbers. Commercial or residential, large jobs or small ones.
