Get matched with top brick, stone or block wall repairers in Big Rock, IL

"Oliver was great to work with. He did an excellent job and if I didn't know, you can't tell where the brick repairs were made. I recommend New Age for fast and quality work."

"Chimney destroyed by lightening strike! Rob and crew removed all debris, built new chimney, inspected 30 yr. old chimney shaft and suggested liner(for safety and code compliance) .installed new damper, cleaned up entire area inside and out. great work, very courteous, fair price. I would recommend them for any type of brick/chimney service!"

"Mario and his team were great. Replaced chimney crown and did tuck point work. Would recommend them for chimney repairs."

"Everything was great and well thought of. They gave some suggestions initially of some ideas to do beyond what we asked. Would hire again and more than likely will for some other work we want done. Would highly recommend"

"Rivera Concrete Paving's $8,500 bid became $11,000. Owner Magdiel Rivera adds charges after you're committed and doesn't follow through after payment. Cost increases: I mentioned roots upfront - he said equipment could handle it, then charged $450. Said grading unnecessary, then created false urgency claiming we HAD to grade before concrete. Later said could grade after. Added $1,800. Crew broke drainage pipes, charged me $250. Couldn't move AC condenser despite my asking during estimate. Payment tactics: Said pay "when satisfied." Then requested half early, then full payment before done. When I said work incomplete, he asked "Don't you trust me?" then broke promises. Broken promises: Walkway cured wrong, no follow-up. $1,800 grading included 3-month landscaping - no communication. Promised debris cleanup, later said not responsible. Damaged 4-month fence, couldn't repair properly, paid $300 after pressure. Dismisses costs at estimate, adds them later. Makes promises, then excuses."

"They are very helpful with suggestions. My yard looks great and they re-laid my brick sidewalk. Indy was very courteous and the crew was friendly. Great job."

"We requested a free estimate. Cory provided a detailed explanation of the work to be done (with photos) and the price. He let us know they could do the job on the spot, contact them later or not at all. We opted to have the job completed immediately at what we thought was a reasonable cost. That consisted of a new damper, repairing a cracked crown, replacing some missing bricks and flashing. The work was complete within a couple of hours and we are satisfied with the results."

"Why I Hired: Happened to see StoneMark's work and met 2 of the work team on another job, nearby. It was beautiful. Impressed by the enthusiasm owner, Pete, had for my job. He 'sees' your project in his mind. Willing to accommodating requests I had that other companies would not consider: curves, curves, curves. Made really good suggestions that enhanced my ideas; improved on them. I had many questions and concerns. Pete answered them all. Price was competitive. Expensive, but within the norm for this work. The Actual Build Experience: Pete made sure we were clear on materials and the process. He met me at the stone yard to choose pavers and other stone. The men doing the work are the most dedicated and competent I have known. They worked tirelessly. They worked as a team. The work was heavy and hard, yet it went on flawlessly. They They 'fixed' outlines in order to make the shape right. I wanted curved edges, and to have that required careful placement and measurements for the arcs to be perfect. They are experts in this particular application, and in placing the pavers perfectly. There was no wasted time, once the project began. My ~ 400 square foot space took about 4 days to finish. All materials, underlayment and pavers are clearly quality. We have a ramped up Village inspection requirement which was handled professionally, even when adjustments were needed. The inspector commented to me on the quality of the work, as did the cement contractor who later repaved my driveway. The end project is breathlessly beautiful. OK, so the old patio was so horrible most anything would have been better, but the outcome was beyond my expectation and fits beautifully with the existing gardens. They returned promptly to reset the edge of the service walk abutting the driveway that was disturbed when a new driveway was laid. Reality Checks: These guys are good and so are very busy. Scheduling can be tricky and if there is rain, time gets set back. I was not prepared for how long it took for the project to begin - at least 8 weeks. I found it hard to have my yard become a construction site. It took me a bit of time to realize that if you want to have this work you must realize it will be a mess, and some trampling, and some reconstruction along the edges (grass seeding, mulching, re-planting) is likely. It is scary for me to be overrun with construction, but once Pete reminded me that 'hey, it's a construction site,' I was able to calm down. This project was straightforward: no fire pits, built-in grills, or retaining/sitting walls. They can't fix everything. I still have ants excavating! Finally: The patio is beautiful, just beautiful!"

"They did an amazing job, replaced about 360 bad bricks from my exterior walls and made it look like new. I highly recommend Masonry Doctors and have already used them again for some foundation crack repairs and will be doing business with them again in the future."

"Overall, I'm extremely impressed with LPD+Architectural Stonescapes. Ninety percent of the work was very good the first time; for the remaining part that had some problems, they returned twice more and kept after it until it was done. The bluestone repair, patching up a great big hole, is invisible. If anything, it looks better now that before the excavation. And supervisor Maria Larios was on-site taking charge of the most of the actual work, which is really rare in my experience. Thank you for excellent results.
