About Brian Lee Smith and Smittys Masonry Restoration

Smittys Masonry Restoration is Brian's business. When you call or text the number on this site, you are talking to Brian, the man who looks at the work and does it. No call center, no salesman.

He is based in Hoopeston, a town where a lot of the houses are old enough that their foundations, brick and chimneys have seen a great many winters.

The headline is foundations. When a stone, brick or block foundation is too far gone, Brian takes it out and replaces it with modern materials. When it can be saved, he repairs it. Above ground he does tuckpointing, brick repair and chimney repair, which is the work that keeps water out of an old masonry house in the first place.

• Complete foundation replacement

With a few photos. Send Brian a wide shot and a close shot of whatever is bothering you, and tell him your town. He will tell you what it looks like from the pictures, and set up a time to see it in person if it needs that.

Then you get a plain answer. If something only needs a repair, you hear that. If a wall is past repair, you hear that too, and why.

Call or text (217) 549-2230. Texting photos is the quickest way to get a useful answer. You can also email familymansmith75@gmail.com.
