Extending heartfelt condolences to the family and friends of Jerry L. Lewis.

Mr. Lewis, a Chicago native, husband, father, and a pillar in Chicago construction, as a longtime developer and contractor lost his life from a senseless act of crime and violence on Tuesday, March 24, 2026. He was targeted, shot, and killed while walking on Madison Ave. near the United Center in broad daylight.

“Jerry Lewis would give anyone the shirt off his back. Born and raised on the West Side, Lewis loved everyone around him, didn’t believe in violence and dedicated himself to giving back, particularly to the community he grew up in, his family said.
In recent years, Jerry Lewis had been involved in the 1901 Project, the $7 billion development plan to remake the Near West Side neighborhood near the United Center.
He was particularly invested in ensuring minority-owned businesses had an opportunity to gain access to the 1901 Project, according to Traci Quinn, founder and CEO of Pink Hats Construction & Development Group, a women-centered construction firm.” ~ Chicago Tribune

Tuckpointing is considered a significant alteration to the structure, and permits ensure that the work complies with safety and building codes.
Key Points:
1. Building Permit: A building permit is generally required for tuckpointing work, especially if it involves structural elements.
2. Application Process: We will submit an application detailing the scope of work, along with any necessary plans or specifications.
3. Inspections: Inspections may be required to ensure that the work is performed according to code.
4. Consultation: We will check with the Chicago Department of Buildings for specific requirements related to your project.
We can assist in obtaining the proper permits for you to ensure safety and compliance with local regulations.
