Parapet Wall Repairs & Rebuilding

Parapet walls protect flat-roof buildings from wind uplift and water intrusion. We provide expert parapet wall repair and rebuilding services for residential and commercial properties, ensuring long-term roof protection, structural stability, and weather resistance across the Chicagoland area.

Importance of Parapet Wall Maintenance

Regular tuckpointing and coping caulking are essential to keep parapet walls dry and structurally sound. Neglected maintenance allows moisture and wind infiltration, accelerating deterioration and increasing repair costs. Preventive parapet wall maintenance helps avoid full rebuilds and extends building life.

When Parapet Walls Need Rebuilding

If parapet wall joints fail and moisture penetrates over time, minor repairs may no longer be enough. Severe cracking, bulging, or shifted brick often require partial or full parapet wall rebuilding to restore safety, performance, and long-term durability.

Professional Parapet Wall Rebuilding Process

We rebuild parapet walls down to solid masonry, typically from the roofline up. Salvageable brick is reused when possible, or matched with new materials. Proper step flashing and moisture protection systems are installed to safeguard the roof and masonry.

Coping & Flashing Installation
We install clay, stone, or metal copings with high-performance flashing systems beneath them. Properly sealed coping joints are critical to prevent water infiltration at the highest point of the building and protect newly rebuilt parapet walls.

Trusted Parapet Wall Specialists Since 1984
Bruno Construction Masonry, Inc. has repaired and rebuilt parapet walls throughout Chicagoland for over 40 years. Our experienced team delivers reliable solutions—from routine maintenance to full rebuilds—done right the first time.

​

Parapet Wall Inspection & Evaluation
Parapet walls face the harshest weather conditions and are often the first areas to fail. We inspect for open joints, cracks, bulging brick, and water intrusion, then recommend targeted repairs or rebuilding based on your building’s actual needs.

​

Repair vs. Rebuild Recommendations
Not all parapet wall damage requires full rebuilding. Some sections may only need tuckpointing or caulking, while others require reconstruction. We provide honest assessments and cost-effective solutions to protect your building without unnecessary work.

​

When Tuckpointing Is Enough
If parapet walls show minor cracking or open joints without brick movement, grinding and tuckpointing may restore integrity and waterproofing. Early repairs can prevent more extensive damage and costly rebuilding.

​

Honest Expertise You Can Trust
With decades of experience repairing and rebuilding parapet walls across Chicago and the suburbs, we clearly explain your options and recommend the best solution. Our goal is to keep your building structurally sound, watertight, and protected for years to come.
