Get matched with top brick or stone tuck pointing pros in Lake Forest, 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."

"After receiving two other estimates for tuck-pointing work needed on our small (7 unit) condo building, we decided to go with North Shore. The owner of the company, Les, came out personally and provided what I felt was an honest assessment of our issues (we were experiencing increasing ceiling leaking in the top floor units). He was clear to say he would not be the least expensive nor the most expensive, and he was correct. He got us on the schedule quickly and was in constant contact on when his team would arrive as weather was an issue. His team was courteous and left the work site clean. Shortly after the work was completed we had a huge storm, and we are happy to report did not experience any leaks. We plan on working with North Shore again come spring to complete our remaining tuck-pointing projects."

"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."

"Daniel and Lou showed up to replace the liner and repair the chimney. They spent an entire day working hard and cleaned up after the job was done. The work done looks solid and good. Would definitely keep them on my list for any future masonry/brick repair jobs."

"Chimney working correctly so nothing was accomplished in regards to the downdraft. I did have the firebox repainted and the outer brick sealed."

"Fortune Restoration did carpentry, masonry, and external painting on our 100-year-old brick and stucco tudor-style house. Besides being polite and taking care to clean up daily, the workers were so diligent and focused on the details. It was a big job that included repairing and/or replacing and rotted or damaged wood, resealing an exterior wood patio ceiling, spot tuck pointing the entire exterior of the 3 story home, and then finally painting the window surrounds and all wood and stucco on the house and the garage door and sheds. Fortune Restoration’s quality of work held up from start to finish. We could not be more happy with the results!"
