As your neighbors, we have a particular stake in doing right by this community.

Residential Masonry Services in East Moline

Why East Moline Homes and Buildings Need Masonry Care

East Moline sits along the Mississippi River, and its four-season Illinois climate puts real stress on masonry. Water is the common thread behind most of the masonry problems we see here.

Freeze-Thaw Damage

Quad Cities winters swing repeatedly above and below freezing. When water works into failing mortar joints or hairline cracks and then freezes, it expands and widens the gap a little more each cycle. Over several winters, this freeze-thaw action is what turns minor mortar wear into spalling brick, loose masonry, and open joints. Timely tuckpointing is the single most effective way to stop that cycle before it reaches the structure behind the wall.

River Proximity and Moisture

East Moline's riverfront location means higher humidity and, for some properties, elevated groundwater. That moisture load shows up as damp basements, efflorescence on brick, and deteriorating below-grade walls. Our waterproofing and basement waterproofing services address water at both the foundation and the facade.

Industrial and Aging Building Stock

Much of East Moline's masonry was built during its manufacturing heyday. These are solid, well-built structures, but decades-old mortar was never designed to last forever. Older brick homes and industrial buildings alike benefit from repointing, brick replacement, and restoration that respects the original materials. Our plant maintenance services keep working industrial facilities in good repair.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you offer both residential and commercial masonry in East Moline?

Yes. Bi-State Masonry serves East Moline homeowners with services like tuckpointing, chimney restoration, and basement waterproofing, and we serve commercial and industrial clients with tuckpointing, concrete restoration, brick replacement, plant maintenance, and building waterproofing. Commercial work is the core of our business, but our residential customers benefit from that same commercial-grade experience. We are based right here in East Moline.

How much does masonry repair cost in East Moline?

Every project is different, so we provide a free, no-obligation estimate for masonry repair in East Moline. Cost depends on the type of work, the size and access of the area, and the condition of the existing masonry. Because we operate as a merit-based, non-union shop with lower overhead, we are consistently able to offer fair, competitive local pricing.

How do I know if my brick home needs tuckpointing?

Look for mortar joints that are cracked, crumbling, recessed, or missing, along with any gaps where you can see daylight or feel drafts. If you can scrape out mortar with a screwdriver, it is time to have it inspected. Quad Cities freeze-thaw winters wear mortar down faster than many homeowners expect, and repointing early prevents far more expensive structural repairs later.

Can you repair or restore a masonry chimney in East Moline?

Yes. We handle chimney tuckpointing, partial and full rebuilds, and new caps and crowns. Chimneys take more weather exposure than any other masonry on a home, so they are often the first place freeze-thaw damage appears. Learn more on our chimney restoration page.

Do you handle prevailing-wage and public commercial projects?

Yes. We regularly perform prevailing-wage work for government, municipal, school, and other public projects in Illinois, and we pay the prevailing wage rate on those jobs. We are experienced with the requirements that come with public and institutional masonry work.

Are estimates really free?

Yes. Bi-State Masonry offers free estimates on all residential and commercial masonry work in East Moline and throughout the Quad Cities. Call us at (309) 786-8800 or request a quote online.
