Bulley & Andrews Masonry Restoration, LLC

What Bulley & Andrews Masonry Restoration, LLC does

Bulley & Andrews Masonry Restoration, LLC (BAMR) is a Chicago-based, privately held specialty contracting firm and a subsidiary of Bulley & Andrews, LLC, a fourth-generation construction group founded in 1891. Established in 2005, BAMR operates as a self-performing, turnkey masonry restoration contractor with approximately 70 project management and administrative personnel and more than 200 field craft workers, delivering work across nine states with a Midwest concentration. Its service portfolio covers brick, terra cotta, limestone, and concrete repair; tuckpointing; sealant replacement; façade structural restoration; drone-based building envelope inspection; and roof anchor installation, with particular depth in historic and landmark structures.

The company's underlying technology base is conventional craft execution augmented by unmanned aerial inspection capabilities for façade and envelope assessment; it does not rely on proprietary software platforms or disclosed AI/ML systems. Notable project credentials include the Missouri State Capitol, the Chicago Athletic Association, the Hard Rock Hotel, the University of Chicago, Northwestern University, DePaul University, Loyola University, Purdue University, and multiple institutional and high-rise residential clients, demonstrating execution across commercial, hospitality, educational, religious, healthcare, and government/civic segments.

BAMR generates revenue through project-based contracts — typically fixed-price and negotiated bids on general contractor and construction manager engagements — with a reported repeat-client rate of approximately 70%. Pricing reflects the specialty-trade nature of the work and is anchored by self-performed labor rather than subcontracted execution. The parent group exceeded $210M in revenue in 2011 per industry coverage; BAMR-specific revenue is not separately disclosed. Group-level capability has been extended through the 2010 acquisition of Takao Nagai Associates, later rebranded Bulley & Andrews Concrete Restoration (BACR), broadening the addressable scope of structural concrete work under a unified brand.

Direct peers

• John Canning & Co. Historic restoration contractor specializing in decorative finishes, plaster, and masonry conservation on landmark and institutional buildings. Overlaps with BAMR's historic preservation delivery on cultural and civic projects.
• EverGreene Architectural Arts: Specialty firm performing historic preservation, decorative restoration, and facade conservation on landmark buildings. Directly comparable to BAMR's historic masonry, terra cotta, and ornamental restoration work.
• STRUCTURAL Group: Specialty contractor focused on structural and envelope repair/restoration including masonry and concrete. Closely comparable to BAMR's specialty restoration scope and self-performing delivery model.
• Western Specialty Contractors: Family-owned national contractor specializing in masonry restoration, facade repair, waterproofing, and building envelope services. Comparable as a directly competing specialty restoration contractor operating across commercial, institutional, and multi-family end markets.

Broad incumbents

• Clark Construction Group: Large national general contractor delivering institutional, civic, and commercial building projects including renovations and adaptive reuse. Competes with BAMR's general-contracting arm on larger envelope/restoration projects.
• Walsh Group: Major Chicago-based national contractor active in institutional, healthcare, and government construction. Comparable in geography and general-contracting scope, though broader than BAMR's specialty masonry focus.

Regional players

• Pepper Construction Group: Chicago-based regional general contractor with strong institutional, healthcare, and higher-education portfolios. Comparable as a Chicagoland-based contractor pursuing similar institutional clients, though broader in scope than BAMR's masonry specialty.
• Power Construction: Chicago-based general contractor active in commercial, healthcare, and institutional construction. Comparable in geography and market overlap with BAMR's broader restoration and general-contracting projects.

Others

• Wiss, Janney, Elstner Associates: Facade engineering and structural investigation firm that serves as a partner/A&E on many BAMR projects (e.g., 199 E. Lake Shore Drive, Missouri State Capitol). Adjacent rather than competing — they often co-specify work that BAMR executes.
• Bulley & Andrews Concrete Restoration (BACR): Sister company under the Bulley & Andrews umbrella providing concrete repair and waterproofing. Not a competitor but a complementary delivery arm that, together with BAMR, forms a broader building envelope restoration platform.
