Get matched with top masons in Lake Bluff, IL

"We used Brick Design to redo part of our paver patio to solidify it and get it ready for our hot tub. Ana and her team got the job done in a timely matter! I would definitely use them again"

"I hired AM Masonry for a small repair job in May 2016. They arrived exactly on time to examine the damage and offer their estimate for the repair. They called exactly when they said they would to schedule the work after finding brick that matches my old house. They arrived exactly on time to begin the work. They finished the work early, and the charges were exactly corresponding to the estimate. The work looks fabulous, and they cleaned up the work site flawlessly. I am super impressed with this company and would use them again without hesitation."

"I had decided on Tino and his company to complete and repair a large flagstone patio. I changed last minute to my original installer which cost me several thousand dollars I fired the company and JK and Tino and his crew cam in and corrected the problems! I canâ t say enough about this company they are amazing,professionals and knowledgeable any all aspects on stone and ,landscaping design. I am more than happy to refer and confirm their work Pam Sheldon Mettawa Il"

"Olsen Tuckpointing Company did a brilliant job of cleaning & tuckpointing our 91-year-old brick bungalow. We are delighted with the results and highly recommend Olsen if you need any kind of brickwork done. It wasn't a huge job, but with the home being as old as it is, we were concerned about getting it done right. The brick exterior had quite a few old mortar patches and some washed-out sections, and over the years the walls had collected a wide assortment of paint stains, hardware hangers and old screw holes. The textured, tan brick also looked pretty dingy, although we weren't sure how much was the original color and how much might be accumulated dirt. The attached pictures show the after & before of dull brown bricks cleaned to a warm, clean gold. I didn't take closeups of the repairs, but I am impressed by how seamlessly the new work blends in with the older mortar. Everyone was friendly, knowledgeable, prompt, and professional, and I have only good things to say about them all. The estimator was able to come out quickly after the initial contact, he did a comprehensive walk-though, and he provided a clear, reasonable, and detailed estimate in a timely fashion--along with an explanation of the whole process from start to finish, so we would know what to expect. The office staff was great about getting things scheduled and making sure we knew when the crews would be showing up, the crews introduced themselves on arrival, and they were all friendly, careful, and incredibly skilled. We are 100% pleased as can be & will certainly be calling Olsen Tuckpointing when next we need any masonry work performed."

"Exceeded all expectations. Outstanding attention to detail and professionalism. Understood what we wanted to achieve completely. Was able to match 55 year old bricks almost perfectly."

"My husband and I hired AAA-1 Masonry & Tuckpointing to restore our front brick parapet wall a few years back and were
very pleased with the quality of the work and the professionalism of the men. Our experience rebuilding the side parapet wall this year was equally as pleasant.  Robert took the time to educate us about the correct way to rebuild our parapet wall, showed us photos of what he saw during his rooftop inspection, and provided options (and guidance) about how to do the job
correctly.  
Apparently the original height of the parapet wall had been reduced years ago and never rebuilt back to its correct height.
 We were working on a budget, so we told AAA-1 Masonry not to rebuild the parapet wall to a slightly higher height, even though Robert counseled us to do so in order to allow the roofers to properly re-flash the wall when the brickwork was completed.  We had to make a choice, and I really wanted to spend the $1600 for this additional work on new capstones around my front entry
(work that Rob also did for us).  I spend a lot of time on my porch and our capstones did not look good.  Replacing them was important to me. 
10 masons made fast (and beautiful) work of our parapet wall.  Andy the foreman was a pleasure to deal with, too.
  My east wall is sited pretty close to the property line, so the men built very narrow pipe scaffolding towers so as not to damage my neighbor's property, and they wrapped their scaffolding in dust-suppressing mesh which
everyone appreciated.  All of the masonry debris went into a dumpster, and that dumpster was removed the day the job was completed.  They even brought their own port-a-potty so as not to be an imposition.
Once the job was done, Robert revealed that he and the men had chipped in to rebuild the parapet wall to the proper height
(the height he had recommended from the start) for no charge!  He said not rebuilding the parapet wall higher would have reduced the life expectancy of his work, and he never would have forgiven himself if he had let that happen.  Who does work for free?!? 
With all aspects of the job, we were very satisfied customers.  Thank you, AAA-1 Masonry, for your counsel, work
ethic, and generosity.
