"The crew from Salgadoâ  s Brick Paving Services did an excellent job at rebuilding my brick column to my garage. The crew arrived early but waited for the scheduled start time. Greg reviewed the work and explained the modifications for the dayâ  s goal. The work went well and the clean up was excellent. I would use them again."

"Our fireplace needed to be relined. When Jon and Ron looked at the project to provide a quote they observed additional items with bricks at the top of the chimney and cracked bricks in the fire box not communicated to me by another contractor. They worked safely and professionally to repair all the issues. At the end of the project they cleaned up and provided a complete walk thru of the job."

"We had a really great experience with Ricardo. We have a small patio made of pavers on our townhouse. The sealant had worn off, and it was full of weeds and had become uneven. We were debating whether to clean it up, or replace it with concrete. Ricardo gave us a great explanation of how he could level it and clean and seal it, and why that might be preferable to concrete. We chose to have him clean, level, and seal the existing pavers. He was always on time, quick to respond, friendly, and honest. I would work with him again without hesitation."

"I contacted Tony about building a retaining wall in my front yard. Upon receiving my call, Tony was able to schedule an appointment for later that day and gave me a quote within 24 hours. Tony's quote was nearly half of price that competitors gave me. Tony began work literally within the week. He told me he would be at my home at 800 am, and he was there and working by 730 am. He completed the job in three days. On top of completing beautiful work, he was conscientious and respectful of the area surrounding where he was working. He completed a MAJOR construction project at my home, yet there was not a single blade of grass moved out of place. His attention to detail was remarkable. I am incredibly happy with the final result and my experience of working with Tony and AM Masonry. I would encourage you to contact him and work with him for any of your masonry needs."

"Miguel promptly returned my call, came to my house, and gave me an estimate. I accepted his estimate and he and Daniel came out the next day and completed the job to my satisfaction. Miguel is a very good brick mason and replaced the shoulders on both sides of my chimney."

"I have built patios myself in the past so I felt comfortable selecting the blocks and creating the design. I purchased the blocks, the lights, and the pump and waterfall for the project. Harvey and team made the dream come to life and added their own spin on the design. I was happy to let them have some artistic choices as we went along."

"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."

FAQs for brick, stone or block wall installation projects in Lake Forest, IL

A freestanding brick wall that's one brick thick can typically reach six to eight feet high.
