WickRight President, Owner and moisture repair specialist, Bob Kelly spent the first 15 years of his career mastering fine carpentry and historic preservation in the North Shore suburbs, including Deerfield, Wilmette, Winnetka, Lake Forest, Northbrook, Northfield, Glencoe and Highland Park. Bob and his talented team provided high-end remodeling as well. Working on the North Shore, Bob honed his inventor skills by fabricating parts for historic homes that can no longer be found in stores. Bob knows how to fix historic homes, as well as newer homes and buildings. If your historic, older or new home has moisture intrusion issues, give us a call at 312-720-1467. Our team will find the water source and fix it right, the first time.

Since 2012, Bob has evaluated over 400 buildings around Chicagoland. Of those 400 buildings, WickRight Passive Ventilation® has been installed on over 106 buildings, including single family, multi-family and commercial buildings. All of those buildings are now dry or in the process of drying. Click to read testimonials about the quality of our work and courteous crews, as well as the performance of WickRight venting devices.

If you are considering buying a new home or investment property, give us a call to have Bob evaluate the building prior to signing the final paperwork. It is best to coordinate Bob's visit to the property with your home inspector. Bob will concentrate on the exterior of the building, masonry, roof and building envelope to give you a good idea of what issues you may need to deal with in the near future. He will also provide either a verbal or written report (depending on the type of evaluation you choose) with an estimate of repair costs, so you can negotiate the sale price of the property effectively.

We currently have three projects in progress in Chicago, one project has a 365 Construction Tent erected to protect the interior of the building while the roof is off (completely) and structural improvements are being made. We also have a large-scale project in progress on the North Shore, repairing severe moisture intrusion damage on a home with a stucco exterior.

A Bit of Glencoe Trivia...

Glencoe was developed in the late 1800s around a railroad stop, like many North Shore suburbs. The origin of the town's name Glencoe is not known. Many say it is named for Glencoe, Scotland. Others think it was named after Matthew Coe, who was an early resident.

Glencoe boasts the world’s third largest collection of Frank Lloyd Wright buildings. There are seven Wright houses in the Ravine Bluff subdivision and two more Wright houses nearby.

Glencoe, don't get blindsided, plan for Masonry Maintenance

All buildings require maintenance. Masonry buildings may seem to be maintenance free because they last for hundreds of years. But make no mistake, to remain issue-free, safe and dry, masonry buildings need maintenance. Every 30 years or so, historic masonry buildings need to have the mortar ground out of the mortar joints and re-pointed with lime mortar. Masonry buildings built after 1950 need maintenance every 20 years or so, depending on the craftsmanship. But masonry buildings built since 1990 need specialized services to mitigate water and moisture intrusion. Buildings built with split face block and other modern masonry products like "jumbo brick" which is brick-colored concrete and "Renaissance Stone" which is pre-cast concrete need maintenance more often than buildings constructed with common brick or buildings with a brick facade and block structural wall. WickRight General Contracting offers excellent split face block and pre-cast concrete maintenance services at reasonable prices in Glencoe. Call 312-720-1467 today for an estimate.

Effective, Affordable Masonry Sealant Applications - Glencoe, IL

Not all masonry buildings require sealant, but if you own a building built after 1990, chances are at least one wall is constructed with modern materials like split face block or jumbo block, the parapet walls may have be finished with capstones that look like limestone, but are actually Renaissance Stone or pre-cast concrete or there are decorative details on the building that look like limestone, but are actually Renaissance Stone or pre-cast concrete. All of these modern materials are highly porous and prone to absorbing rain water which moves through these materials and into your building. If your Glencoe home is experiencing mysterious leaks, give WickRight General Contracting a call 312-720-1467. Your building may need parapet ventilation installed, custom flashings designed to divert bulk water and masonry sealant to help the mortar and the block resist moisture intrusion and wind driven rain. WickRight General Contracting installs masonry sealants, including clear sealants, like Chemtrete, Prosoco and various elastomeric paints, like Modac, sometimes called "plugger" paints.

Premiere, Highly Experienced Split Face Block Repair in Glencoe

Some masonry buildings built in Glencoe since 1990 are wet. These wet buildings need specialized services to mitigate water and moisture intrusion and to dry out. Buildings built with split face block and other modern masonry products like "jumbo brick"  and "Renaissance Stone" need custom flashing and parapet ventilation to release moisture trapped in the building's walls and roof system. We recommend installing WickRight passive ventilation on buildings built with split face block, concrete block, jumbo block and Renaissance Stone or precast concrete. Buildings built with split face block, concrete block, jumbo block also need to be sealed with masonry sealant. Renaissance stone and pre-cast concrete are difficult to seal, so we suggest covering these details with sheet metal or designing custom flashings to divert water and rain away from these materials. WickRight General Contracting offers excellent split face block and pre-cast concrete repair services in Glencoe at reasonable prices. Call 312-720-1467 today for an estimate.
