Chicago Masonry Construction

What Chicago Masonry Construction does

Chicago Masonry Construction, Inc. is a private, full-service masonry subcontractor headquartered at 841 North Addison in Elmhurst, Illinois, founded in 1996 by the late Joseph Voelker. The company delivers five core trade services — masonry (brick, stone, marble, granite, travertine, limestone, CMU, glass block, tile), Exterior Insulation and Finish System (EIFS), stucco, caulking, and masonry restoration — to commercial, industrial, institutional, and residential clients across the greater Chicago area and Midwest region, including Illinois, Indiana, and Wisconsin. Notable technical practices include two-piece adjustable wall tie systems for seismic/extreme-temperature zones, stainless steel drip-edge flashing over self-adhesive membranes, and Mortar Net wall-cavity protection to preserve weep drainage.

The business operates on a project-based subcontracting model, bidding as a specialty trade contractor to general contractors (Shawmut Design & Construction, Weis Builders, Sequoia General Contracting, Antemann Construction, Kinzie Builders, Parkway Construction), architects, developers, and construction managers, while also serving homeowners and condominium associations directly. Project sizes range from several thousand dollars to well over one million dollars per engagement, with revenue generated on a quote-based, pay-as-you-go basis through detailed written proposals following telephone consultation or site visit. Go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-driven, supplemented by content marketing via the company blog, a public project portfolio, an Accredited Quality Contractor credential, and recurring local industry awards.

The customer base spans enterprise retail and food-and-beverage chains (Hobby Lobby, The Cheesecake Factory, Buffalo Wild Wings, PetSmart, Sherwin Williams), institutional and nonprofit clients (Midwest Shelter for Homeless Veterans, Million Dollar Round Table), mid-market real estate (Delta Condominiums), and a horizontal set of general-contractor partners across the region. The firm maintains trade-association memberships with Associated Builders & Contractors, the Mason Contractors Association of America, and the EIFS Industry Members Association, and has no identified parent company, institutional investors, or M&A activity on record.
