Chicago tuckpointing is something that can be done on chimneys, the exterior of homes as well as commercial buildings.

Trimmings, Rubble and Ashlar

Stone work in Chicago involving a building will usually involve one of three classes:

• Trimmings
• Rubble
• Ashlar

Trimmings include belt course, moldings, caps and other types of cut stone designed to provide ornamental results. The stones used for this are good quality and when a brick building is trimmed with stone, its vital to have the trimmings set properly. Rubble masonry involves stones that don’t have adjoining sides and right angles, this is often done with common field stones. Conglomerate and slate stones are often used as they provide a good effect and nice aesthetic to any building. Ashlar involves stonework cut on all four sides in a way that stones can easily adjoin with right angles to each other, giving the building and fireplace Chicago a nice symmetrical look.
