Get matched with top masons in Cragin, IL

"We have used JC & Son for every masonry job required on one of our 100 year old 4 unit buildings. Each job has been high quality within a reasonable price and Greg has been nothing but a professional. We rely on and trust Greg's advice for all our masonry needs across buildings and he has never let us down. If, upon final walk through of the job, Greg doesn't find the work to be satisfactory or to meet his quality standards, he will send the crew back out to address - zero hassle! I highly recommend this company."

"Scott was wonderful from start to finish. He came out and provided an estimate and was ready to start once we gave him the green light. He handled all correspondence with the Village of Frankfort to obtain the work permit and shared every step of the process. He was extremely knowledgeable and was able to explain the reason for the split from the brick work and drywall. Upon one visual inspection, he was able to determine the materials that would match. While I was nervous about the possibility of the materials not matching, honestly... you cannot tell the rework was not included in the original build. He and his team did a beautiful job with the reconstruction! Greatly appreciated!"

"I had some major work done on my house this year and I went back to someone I trusted: Eddie, Manny and Mike from E&B Masonry. They did a porch project for me in 2018 and it was great. I used them again. They gave me a good price, but I also knew that they would get the job done right. They included me on each decision and checked with me through out the project. I had roofing repairs on my parapet wall where the previous owner had roofed over the limestone causing water building up. During this they found damaged bricks. They took pictures and video to show me what they needed to do. Then they did work on the outside wall where someone else I hired failed to do the tuckpointing. Finally, they installed all new concrete sidewalks from front to back and side to side. This included stairs going down to the basement. They had to pitch the concrete in creative ways and added a new drain to handle additional water. It looks fantastic. I am hiring them to do some additional jobs as well."

"Very professional, came on time, and did a great job building a new brick mailbox for me all in a few hours!"

"Very pleased with the work done and will definitely continue to use them for future masonry work or tuckpointing in my home!"

"Carlos was very communicative and went over and above what he agreed to do. He did a beautiful job with the Tuckpointing and kept me informed all through the process. He also masterfully restored some broken parts of the stone stairs. Definitely recommend"

"Shield was incredible to work with! They were very responsive and just had great communication all around. Their pricing was reasonable and in-line with what our building was expecting for tuckpointing and sealing of the brick/split block. They are knowledgable about the work and cared about getting it done correctly. They handled the entire process, including any city requirements, from beginning to end and made it easy and painless. They also have come out since doing the work to check on things and make sure everything is the way it should be. Very lucky to have found them!"

"Our beautiful new (to us) home has a gorgeous chimney that had gone unused and without maintenance for about 23 years. We wanted to ensure it was both safe to use and ready to withstand autumn, winter, and festive holiday fires for years to come. After a thorough inspection we got a lot of good news. Our chimney is well built, the stone is holding up great, and it absolutely could last us a lifetime. Then we got the not as fun news…we had about 23 years worth of maintenance to catch up on. Thankfully all of it was well within our budget, thoroughly explained, detailed without being overwhelming, and he even did a deep dive all over the house just to be extra sure there wasn’t anything missing that would require another visit. (He even fixed some loose stone in an unrelated part of the house for free.) Already looking forward to my first fire in my new home. I’ll be calling Top Hat for our annual maintenance as long as we own our home."

"I was happy to hire M. Brown Masonry Roofing and Construction. Mike was professional, helpful, and informative. His team worked efficiently, and the work was excellent. The best thing I can think of is that I would hire his company again. I highly recommend his company."

"The company removed the cracking top and built a new one."
