Indianapolis Masonry Repair, Tuckpointing & Chimney Services

Locally Owned • Indianapolis, Indiana

McGinley’s Masonry Repair is a locally owned masonry contractor based on the east side of Indianapolis. With more than 15 years of hands-on masonry experience, we specialize in high-quality masonry repairs that protect your home, preserve its character, and extend the life of your brickwork. Our services include tuckpointing, brick repair, mortar restoration, foundation repair, waterproof parging, chimney repair, brick replacement, and concrete patching for both historic and modern homes throughout Central Indiana.

Owner Charles McGinley is a lifelong east side resident who lives in Indianapolis’ historic Irvington neighborhood. Working on 19th- and early-20th-century homes—including the 1895 Irvington home where the business is based—has given him extensive experience matching historic mortar, repairing aging brick, restoring deteriorated foundations, and solving the moisture problems common in older Indiana homes. That hands-on experience guides every repair we complete.

We proudly serve homeowners throughout Indianapolis, including Irvington, Meridian-Kessler, Broad Ripple, and Geist, as well as Lawrence, Fishers, Carmel, McCordsville, Fortville, and surrounding Central Indiana communities. As a family-owned business, much of our work comes from repeat customers, referrals, and word of mouth—a testament to the quality of our workmanship and the relationships we’ve built.

This homeowner had severely deteriorated steps, but the underlying concrete was structurally sound. We patched the concrete to leave her with a safe and beautiful entryway.
Historic homes often benefit from preservation over removal. When an unused chimney no longer serves a purpose, sealing it can protect the home from water intrusion while maintaining its architectural character.

Our Indianapolis Masonry Repair Services

Restore the integrity and appearance of your brickwork with cleanly ground joints, proper mortar matching, and durable repairs that blend seamlessly with your home.

Specializing in older Indianapolis homes, including 100+ year-old brick, with careful attention to original materials, structure, and craftsmanship.

Repair and replace damaged brick or block to restore strength, stability, and curb appeal. We handle cracked masonry, spalling brick, small structural rebuilds, block wall repairs, and window or door infills with clean, professional workmanship.

From minor joint repair to full chimney rebuilds, we address structural issues, water intrusion, and deteriorating brick to keep your home safe and efficient.

The firebox is the interior masonry area of a fireplace that is exposed to direct heat and flame. Over time, firebrick and refractory mortar can crack, loosen, or deteriorate due to repeated heating and cooling cycles.

We perform firebox masonry repairs to address damaged firebrick, failing mortar joints, and heat-related deterioration—restoring safe function and proper performance of the fireplace.

Protect your foundation from moisture intrusion with expert parging, crack repair, and moisture-barrier solutions designed for Indiana’s climate.

Clean, strong repairs for steps, walkways, foundations, garage walls, and block structures—finished professionally for long-term durability.

Upgrade your basement, garage, or utility room with durable glass block windows that provide privacy, security, and natural light. We install custom glass block windows designed to replace aging steel-frame windows while improving comfort and reducing drafts. Whether you’re replacing a single basement window or upgrading multiple openings, our experienced masonry team ensures a secure, weather-resistant installation built to last.

Rusted or failing angle irons (also called steel lintels) can cause cracked brick, separated mortar joints, and sagging masonry above windows, doors, and garage openings. We remove deteriorated steel supports, install new angle irons, and carefully rebuild the surrounding masonry to restore the structural integrity and appearance of your home or commercial building.

Common signs you may need angle iron replacement:

Cracked brick above windows or doors
Horizontal stair-step cracking
Rust stains on brick or mortar
Bowing or displaced brick
Expanding steel pushing masonry outward
Loose or deteriorating mortar around the opening

Whether your home has a single damaged window lintel or a failing garage door opening, McGinley’s Masonry Repair provides professional angle iron replacement throughout Indianapolis and Central Indiana.

Perfect for quick fixes and smaller jobs around the home. We repair loose bricks, fill gaps, patch small parging areas, address minor mortar issues, and complete other small masonry repairs that improve the safety and appearance of your home.

From our home in Irvington to homes across Indianapolis, Charles and Audrey work together to bring reliable, detail-focused masonry repair to every project.
