"Hector and his crew were professional all the way. Having a section of the driveway extended, and 3 other sections replaced was no easy task. Their knowledge and pride showed in the work. Very impressed, with showing off to the neighbors. Can't beat when the owners out working with his crew, thanks Hector. Greg Price, Oak Creek"

"Good. It took some back and forth to get the contract language the way I wanted it, but after that all went well. Alex is very responsive and professional. The masons did good work. They were not shy about replacing spalled common bricks. They grinded the old mortar to the depth as stated in contract. No shortcuts were taken. It was obvious these masons took pride in their work. Something that is getting rarer these days. I pointed out some smeared mortar on bricks and they cleaned it up right away. New bricks and mortar match the old well. They cleaned up after themselves. This is not a bargain handyman cash job. You see lots of shoddy tuckpointing in my neighborhood and it's sad. The fast cash guys don't grind the mortar down enough and the new mortar falls off after a few years. You'll pay more at AAA-1 but you get what you pay for. Masonry is an art and AAA-1 demonstrates that."

"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!"

"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."

FAQs for brick or stone siding: install or completely replace projects in Lake Forest, IL

Yes, brick veneer is considerably more economical than full structural brick construction. The veneer materials cost between $3 and $11 per square foot, depending on the specific type selected. Installation is also less labor-intensive since veneer doesn't require the same structural considerations as load-bearing brick walls. This approach delivers the classic brick appearance without the full expense of traditional masonry construction.

When properly installed and maintained, brick veneer can last up to 50 years. Longevity depends largely on installation quality, regional climate conditions, and periodic maintenance such as mortar inspections. This impressive lifespan makes brick veneer a cost-effective choice despite a higher initial investment compared to some alternative siding materials that require more frequent replacement.

Brick veneer serves primarily as a decorative covering rather than a structural element. It doesn't provide the same thermal mass benefits as solid brick construction and requires careful moisture management to prevent potential water infiltration issues. While veneer offers excellent aesthetic appeal, it doesn't contribute to the structural integrity of your home in the way that traditional brick construction does.

The cost for partial installation depends entirely on the square footage of the area being covered. Using the same per-square-foot pricing, $3 to $20 including materials and labor, you can calculate costs by measuring your front facade. Many homeowners choose this approach to maximize visual impact while managing their budget effectively. This targeted application often creates dramatic curb appeal enhancement without the full expense of complete home coverage.
