Parapet Wall Repair & Rebuilding
What is a parapet wall? They are barriers that line the edge of your flat roof. Since they’re exposed to harsh weather, they can also be vulnerable to the elements, deterioration, and structural problems. AAG Construction offers parapet wall repair and rebuild services to give you proper protection for your roof.
What is Parapet Wall Repair & Rebuilding?
Roof parapet wall rebuilding encompasses a range of services to address various conditions. Our Chicago masonry contractors can handle:
- Repointing & Crack Repair: Over time, mortar joints in parapet walls can deteriorate and crack. We patch up the joints with special tools and repoint them with high-quality mortar, restoring structural integrity.
- Waterproofing: Parapet walls are exposed to the elements and can be susceptible to water damage. We provide a range of masonry waterproofing solutions to protect your roof and other building structures.
- Coping Replacement: Also known as “cap”, coping is the material that caps the top of the parapet wall. Like other external elements, it can be damaged or deteriorate. We can replace coping with durable materials that match the existing style of the building.
- Partial or Full Rebuilding: Severely damaged or leaning parapet walls may require partial or complete rebuilding. Our crew can demolish the wall and rebuild that wall with high-quality materials, ensuring it meets all building codes.

Addressing parapet wall problems offers significant advantages:
