Get matched with top brick or stone siding: installers or completely replacers in Downers Grove, 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."

"The repair was completed timely and service was very professional. The work was completed properly and the workers were very friendly. I would recommend to anyone needing repairs or a new roof installed."

"Bricks along one side of our attached garage fell from an outside wall after a car struck a corner of the house next to the garage. Not only brick, but also the wood underlay, needed replacement. I requested some estimates on my own, but estimates from those recommended by Robert seemed most reasonable, and I chose them. Once those steps had been completed, Robert's Masonry completed the last step of replacing the outside layer of brick next to the garage door and also extending partway along the outside wall. I definitely would select Robert's Masonry and Repair for any masonry project. Not only was he professional and knowledgeable, but he also kept us informed every step of the way."

"Very well. The crew of 2 arrived early and finished the job within 2 hours. I originally had squirrels nesting withing the stack and water had damaged the ductwork with rust and ducting that collapsed. There was no flow for the carbon monoxide from the furnace, so I had to replace the system."

"I was able to work with Jorge and team initially via phone and text with sharing pictures of spaces that needed to be repainted or touched up. He was able to offer an estimated price without the need to come to the house to see in person. We scheduled and confirmed time and date for work to be completed. The team arrived on time and was able to complete painting one and a half rooms with trim within a few hours. I will be calling for additional work in the future"

"Great job. Put in a lot of hard work at a good price. Repaired brickwork on my fireplace chimney, which is tough to reach. They worked and set up safely , which is important when working up high. Excellent job of matching brick colors. Completed work in one day and cleaned up well when done. Would definitely recommend and encourage people to give them a try"

"I had a new cap, the top six courses of brick replaced, and the rest tuck-pointed on my fireplace chimney. The chimney looks new, the worksite looks as though they were never here. Hardworking, respectable guys who would always take time to answer questions. Beautiful work at a very reasonable price. Highly recommended."
