Get matched with top brick or stone siding: installers or completely replacers in Lake Forest, IL

"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."

"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."

"Tom and his team did an amazing job repairing and repainting the exterior of our home. The 1880s Victorian style has cedar siding, consisting of a combination of traditional boards and cedar tiles. It had been touched up and well maintained over the years, but no extensive repair or painting had been done. Many of the details, such as the trim around the windows and decorative teeth under the third floor's window trim, had chipped or fallen off. On the wall most exposed to the wind and sun, some siding required repair, a few pieces had to be replaced. Tom's team, led by Sergio, repaired/replaced boards/tiles as necessary, then sanded, primed and repainted all the siding. Their attention to detail was beyond impressive, with the window trim lined perfectly and the decorative accessories, such as the teeth, repaired to its original condition. We were most impressed with how much care the team took at sanding the cedar down to the wood before priming and repainting. The end result is siding that looks brand new. Another plus is they are reasonably priced. We received six quotes and they were in the middle of the pack. I highly recommend Fortune Restoration and Tom and his team. You will not be disappointed."

"I am glad they alerted me to needing an new cap and replace a storm collar. They also resurfaced chase pan. $485.00 seemed a bit excessive to just spray paint on chase pan without even scrapping rust off. They did not even scrap rust ring on chimney pipe or spray paint with high temp rust-o-leum. The stainless steel cap was listed at $464.71 and discounted to $395 for Angie's List member. Subsequent Angie list deals show replacement cap from Jimmy Chiminy at $249.00 before Angie discount to $129.00 Our chimney cap was installed crooked until my wife requested that it be straightened. Very overpriced. ...and, yes, I scrapped the rust ring on the pipe and spray painted the pipe with high temp rust-o-leum myself!"

"Overall the job went very well.  There was a problem that was discovered in reparation for the demolition of the large <br /> patio slab that Professional Concrete moved quickly to overcome.  The slab to be demolished had cedar 4ftx4ft posts laid in the concrete as an artistic grid.  There was concrete under the posts that was thought to be 2in thick (common practice), for a total thickness of 6in of concrete that would have to be removed.  In reality there was a total thickness of 8in and re-bar.  Professional Concrete provided a revised cost then and there, which I approved and they went off the get heavier demo equipment.  Demolition was completed that first day.  Framing was done two days later after a rain delay.  The next gravel was laid.  The concrete was to be poured on two separated days.  The steps and small pad one day and the large slab the next.  On the first pour day Mr. Martinez and his crew came by all set to pour and the weather was not optimum so the pours were put off until the following Monday.  He did not want to rush and have the concrete crack in the future.  I was in total agreement.  On that Monday the weather just right and the two days of pours went off smoothly.  Once the concrete set properly Professional Concrete returned shortly to cut the crack arrests.  What remains to be done is application of the sealant and top soil to fill in by the forms and the ruts made in the lawn by the equipment.  <br /> Throughout, Mr. Martinez and his crew were courteous, neat and efficient and explained each phase of work.  <br /> I would recommend them and use them again. <br />"

"Principal task was to redo work done by previous owner or tenant on decorative brick in front of bungalow. Also needed chimney redone and miscellaneous cracks repaired and bricks replaced. Chris was on time for his appointment and provided estimate as promised.. He then came with team of three 30 minutes ahead of promised time to make sure all was in order, and the crew competed all work in one day very neatly. To get to roof, had to place ladder in neighbor’s yard after getting permission, and they were very careful of neighbor’s landscaping in doing so. Foreman suggested one additional item to complete, which was included at no extra cost. Crew was also able to reuse some of the decorative brick from the chimney in front where previous owner/tenant had badly damaged some in previous efforts, as it would have been difficult to find 95-year-old brick to match. This was also done at no additional cost. They weren’t able to remove all the damage done previously, but it looks much better. Highly recommend this group."
