The Requirement

Do I Need a Masonry License in Chicago?

You do. The City of Chicago requires anyone working with brick, stone, concrete, terra-cotta, tile, and fireproofing, or any combination of these materials in the construction of buildings or structures, to secure a masonry license before beginning work or pulling permits.

Highly recommend this school! They offer a wide variety of classes from residential roofing, commercial, public adjuster license, xactimate, and masonry. Everything needed to pass is covered.

I have attended twice. First for the Roofing license, and now for the Public Adjuster license. Both instructors have been amazing and patient! I will definitely be going back to complete other certificates!

Awesome people. Even after the class is over, they are more than willing to help and answer any questions with the applications and forms needed for the state licensing.
