Schaumburg is dominated by 1970s and 1980s construction, both single-family and a very large amount of townhome and condominium stock.
On the single-family homes, brick-front construction from that era is now at the point where the weather elevations need repointing, and where chimneys need crown and flashing work. This is routine work and it is generally straightforward.
The association work is where it gets more involved. A townhome or condo building typically needs several things at once: repointing on the exposed elevations, lintel replacement where steel has rusted over windows, and a full replacement of control joint and window perimeter sealant. Because lift and scaffolding costs are a real share of the total, doing these as one project rather than three separate years of work saves the association a meaningful amount.
We are used to working through boards and property managers, and we will put a building-by-building breakdown in writing so a board can phase it sensibly rather than being handed one large number.

Common questions
Do you work with homeowner associations?
Yes. Schaumburg has a lot of townhome and condo associations and we are comfortable working through boards and management companies, with phased scopes and written proposals.
How do I know if my association needs tuckpointing or just caulking?
Often both, and the ratio matters for budgeting. We will walk the property and give you a building-by-building breakdown rather than a single number.
