Get matched with top masons in Waukegan, IL

"I interviewed 4 companies for leaking parapet repair on my garage. Mario and Andy were always very communicative and quick to respond when I asked questions. They started (and finished) the entire job on the schedule they proposed. The work is excellent. This job created a lot of dust and debris and they did a nice job of cleaning up every day. I'm am very glad I chose Touchstone. I have some other brick work that needs to be done on our main home and will almost certainly use Touchstone. Other prospective clients are welcome to contact me for a reference."

"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."

"They did a great job repairing the brick on our home. Quick and on time. Great customer service. Would definitely recommend them!"

"Another outstanding job by Olsen. We requested and received a proposal last fall for work to be done. Proposal was easy to understand, covered all work wanted and provided on very timely basis. Early spring they delivered brick samples for our approval and began work a few days later. Work was preformed very quickly, very professionally and of the best quality. They thoroughly cleaned up each day and after completion. We strongly recommend Olsen to everyone needing masonry work. Another satisfied customer, again."

"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.

"Overall Landscaping projects I have hired them for are outstanding. And I've hired them for over 20 Years all our patio and brick paver jobs are still holding up. Couldn't be more pleased with the work and professionalism."

"Hector and team are amazing. They use the best quality cement, they are timley, prices are fair, and they are nice people to work with. Great experience and I booked him right after the job to do my patio."

"After the last two storms in June and July, our chimney started to leak rainwater into the brick over the fireplace and into the fireplace. I did an online review and found that Top Hat Chimney Service had one of the highest ratings, so I called for an appointment. Anthony responed quickly and we agreed upon an inspection date. He and Lou arrived, inspected our chimney, took photos and made his recommendations. He responded to all of my questions and we agreed on a repair plan. Incidentally, he checked our other chmney and made recommendations for it because it also needed some preventive repairs. We also decided to have him install a gas fireplace. We were extremely pleased that he could begin and complete the work on that day, since another storm was expected within 24-48 hours. Anthony and Lou did an outstanding job with the repairs and installation of the gas fireplace! Anthony graciously did a couple of extra things with the other chimney and we are especially appreciative!"

"Did a fine job! Would recommend"

"83 masonry Reviewed my initial concern about areas of my home where the mortar was crumbling and falling out. It turned out that rusted lintels were no longer properly supported the brick around garden level windows and cracks were more extensive than I had initially detected. By their expert discerning of the underlying problem they provided a solution of new lintels with drainage to prevent it from happening again. They arrived early the day of the job, the owner was on site entire time participating in the work and provided insights throughout the repair about what was happening. They also supplied before and after photos, and left the work site spotless. Patient, detailed and knowledgeable. Great experience."
