Get matched with top masons in Lincoln Park, IL

"I chose touchstone they have very thorough description of what was involve in the job and most interesting was making the grout waterproof. In the description, they basically said that they were going to do the whole thing of the wall and I was not prepared for that and basically that is what they did. The important all four sides and everything worked on and they did over and above what I had expected them to do."

"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."

"The work completed to rebuild my entire brick and concrete porch speaks for itself. It is OUTSTANDING!!! E & B Masonary are very professional, easy to work with and takes great pride in their work!!! They did not overcharge the work for this project. They cleaned up after the work was finished, made every effort to answer all my questions, and obtained good brick samples for my approval before the start of the project!!! I have other work needed to be completed on my property and will not hesitate to use this company again!!!!! Everyone loves our new porch!!!!!"

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

"Good. It took some back and forth to get the contract language the way I wanted it, but after that all went well. Alex is very responsive and professional. The masons did good work. They were not shy about replacing spalled common bricks. They grinded the old mortar to the depth as stated in contract. No shortcuts were taken. It was obvious these masons took pride in their work. Something that is getting rarer these days. I pointed out some smeared mortar on bricks and they cleaned it up right away. New bricks and mortar match the old well. They cleaned up after themselves. This is not a bargain handyman cash job. You see lots of shoddy tuckpointing in my neighborhood and it's sad. The fast cash guys don't grind the mortar down enough and the new mortar falls off after a few years. You'll pay more at AAA-1 but you get what you pay for. Masonry is an art and AAA-1 demonstrates that."

"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"

"Sam and Frank were friendly, courteous and understood my needs and concerns. They were responsive and on time. Their work, repairing a section of a brick wall on the front of my home was excellent. They matched the new brick to the old beautifully. See before and after pictures."

"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."
