Get matched with top brick or stone tuck pointing pros in Grayslake, IL

"Olsen Tuckpointing Company did a brilliant job of cleaning & tuckpointing our 91-year-old brick bungalow. We are delighted with the results and highly recommend Olsen if you need any kind of brickwork done. It wasn't a huge job, but with the home being as old as it is, we were concerned about getting it done right. The brick exterior had quite a few old mortar patches and some washed-out sections, and over the years the walls had collected a wide assortment of paint stains, hardware hangers and old screw holes. The textured, tan brick also looked pretty dingy, although we weren't sure how much was the original color and how much might be accumulated dirt. The attached pictures show the after & before of dull brown bricks cleaned to a warm, clean gold. I didn't take closeups of the repairs, but I am impressed by how seamlessly the new work blends in with the older mortar. Everyone was friendly, knowledgeable, prompt, and professional, and I have only good things to say about them all. The estimator was able to come out quickly after the initial contact, he did a comprehensive walk-though, and he provided a clear, reasonable, and detailed estimate in a timely fashion--along with an explanation of the whole process from start to finish, so we would know what to expect. The office staff was great about getting things scheduled and making sure we knew when the crews would be showing up, the crews introduced themselves on arrival, and they were all friendly, careful, and incredibly skilled. We are 100% pleased as can be & will certainly be calling Olsen Tuckpointing when next we need any masonry work performed."

"Responded quickly. His expertise in paving help resolve our biggest dilemma.. Very efficient and hard workers. Dependable and reasonably priced. Would highly recommend them and would consider them for future projects."

"Very good company. I had 2 chimneys that needed to be prepared. They reviewed the chimneys & were straightforward in their assessment. I needed to have 1 chimney rebuilt. They were punctual, kept to their schedule & priced competitively. They did such a good job that I had them close in a doorway. They found bricks that were close in color to the existing brick on the house. You can barely tell the difference of where they enclosed the doorway. I have other masonry projects that need to be completed & this is the only company I’ll be calling to do the work. I give them a 10 out of 10!"

"Tony is a very talented & resourceful Mason. He was very upfront and clear about what he would do & how much it would cost. He researched at 4 different brick suppliers to find an exact match that I needed for my 11 year old brick facade, and also managed to get enough supply (most places had discontinued that brick), to get the work done. He is very reasonable and does a very high quality job. I would not hesitate to hire him again if needed, and would definitely recommend him to anyone else."

"Thank you to Anthony and his team. He is right on point from the start he was the 1st professional to call me after prospecting businesses online, he was professional, friendly and truthful in his offering. My chimney cap needed replacement and water proofing on sections of my roof. The job was completed in 2 hours or less. He provided a receipt with itemized descriptions of what iI’ve paid for. 10/10 recommended. In today’s market it’s not easy to find trustworthy professionals. I’m looking forward to doing future business with Anthony."

"Miguel and Manuel did a superb job Tuckpoint replace bricks and repaired the .chimney. they cleaned up after themselves left the job area clean Miguel answered all my questions. I would definitely recommend them to anyone their price was well below others"

"Great experience. My neighbor had some chimney repairs done the work looked great and was done pretty fast. So I went over and got the info and had the fellas come by and replace a few bricks and tuckpoint some problem areas at my place. Im very happy with my choice to say the least everything turned out great. "

"It was a pleasure working with Rob. I wasn't sure if my chimney needed entirely rebuilt or just tuck-pointed. I had another company quote my work and they provided me a cost to entirely rebuild it. Rob came and looked at the chimney and gave me a cost just to repair it. His cost was 7x cheaper. I trusted his 30+ years in the industry and went with Fire It Up. I'm happy i chose them. Saved me a lot of money and the chimney looks great."

"The inspection was thorough and the technician explained everything really well. The work was done quickly and properly."

"We are totally satisfied with the professionalism, skill, work ethic and overall attention to detail provided by Hector Martinez and his extremely capable crew. This is a contractor you can trust. They completed the job timely once they had started. Prices are fair. Our emphasis was on the quality of the materials and workmanship rather than the cheapest contractor we could find, as value is important to us. We feel this concrete will endure for many years to come. We plan to hire Hector again for additional masonry projects."
