Get matched with top brick or stone siding: repairers or partially replacers in Des Plaines, IL

"Olsen has twice replaced the mortar on our patio steps. The first time work was completed in less than two hours, which seemed quick considering the amount of steps and price charged. About 12 months later the mortar began to crack and fall out again. Olsen completed the second repair as part of their warranty on work completed. Update: Fast forward another year, and the mortar is cracking and falling out again. Upon further investigation it was determined the problem was with the original installation of steps five years earlier by builder. Given that the original cracking started to appear two years after installation by builder, Olsen should have known this was not a normal tuckpointing job since that is their business and expertise, especially when they had to come out and redo their work under a warranty guarantee. Ultimately had to have stones removed completely and installed again with different mortar and adhesive. Olsen did not do this work as their bid was 25% more than other bid I received. I would potentially hire Olsen again, but would do my own due diligence on the potential project and not rely on Olsen for figuring things out."

"Our building needed some tuckpointing/sealant applied and the result couldn't have been better. Greg was our main contact and was excellent to work with. He came out on time whenever we needed him and was very responsive as the job progressed. He and his staff were true professionals from start to finish, cleaning up after themselves every step of the way. Would highly recommend JC and Son Masonry to anyone! Thanks again."

"The company was very responsive and arrived on time. They provided a very reasonable estimate that was in line with the Angie cost estimate tool. They repaired our siding and their work has continued to hold up to the Chicago winds."

"Jorge is awesome! He came immediately to give an estimate, then sent everything on a contract to be clear about the work to be done. The cost was very fair, if some unexpected thing was discovered as the job was being performed, he addressed it for no extra cost or for a very reasonable additional cost. The team works very well together, show up on time, only took a lunch break, and most important, they did an excellent job. Also, if you point out any issue or concern you have as they are working, they quickly take care of it to make sure the customer is satisfied. Big thing - the job was finished sooner than promised! I 100% recommend this company and I will definitely use them again. Thanks guys!"

"Anthony and Brandon were excellent, extremely professional and knowledgeable! Anthony and Brandon repaired our chimney and installed a new damper and cap and beautiful new logs in under 2 hours! Both men were very friendly and answered all our questions. We couldn't be more excited about our new fireplace and cannot wait to show it off! We highly recommend A-1 Safety Chimney Service and Anthony and Brandon, they exceeded our expectations and we couldn't be happier!! Thank you Anthony and Brandon and A-1 Safety!!!"

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

"They were very courteous, completed the job on schedule without any issues. We had an old chimney that needed to be replaced and they went out of their way to match the old brick color. Highly recommended."

"<p>The contractor was out on the same day as contacted and submitted a detailed estimate for job. The contractor did attempt to persuade me into coating rather than replacing front porch. This was not appreciated as the porch is over 45 years and needed replacement. Ultimately, job was given to a contractor who performed the job within my stated specs.</p> . <br />"

"I just hired Edmar to replace a glass block window in our brick house with a more modern double hung window, and they did a great job! I've also hired them in the past to rebuild our parapet and replace other old windows and the work is always great. They're easy to coordinate schedules with and the quality of work is top notch. I'll definitely be hiring them again for any future masonry projects."

"Great. Complete tear up and replace"
