"Rob Reese is simply the best in the business, a fair and honest business owner who possesses great technical expertise. I am the treasurer of our condo association and we used AAA-1 back in 2012 for concrete block sealing and tuckpointing work. Our experience is that the water proofing product that he uses is of excellent quality and we were good for over 10 years. Fast forward to 2022 and it was time to reseal our concrete block again. I received 4 competitive bids for the work. Rob's proposal was the most complete, included the quality Chem-trete PB100 product (now costly due to pandemic induced supply chain issues - some of the other bidders included an inferior product), included a few extras but was still the most competitive proposal after fully levelling all of the bids. He included the cost of scaffolding (others wanted to hang a platform off of our roof), uses a very experienced team (some have been with him for decades), is well organized and bent over backwards to squeeze us in this Fall despite a full schedule. He completed the work quickly and professionally in 2.5 days (with a large crew) and communicated daily on what to expect the next day. I could not recommend Rob highly enough. We had a stellar experience and I would give him 10 stars if I could. They do excellent work and are true professionals."

With over 200 verified 5 star reviews, we have earned the title of Chicago’s top rated masonry contractor. We are all about providing comprehensive masonry and exterior restoration and repairs at an affordable rate. Our humble brickwork company was born from the vision of one man who wanted to change the face of Chicago exteriors by providing masonry installations with unrivaled quality. This was more than 45 years ago. Since then, we have successfully worked with thousands of homeowners, property managers, business owners, and landlords. North Shore Brickwork has earned our reputation brick by brick. One of the main reasons is we treat our sub-contractors and employees like family, and as a result, the majority of our crews have been with us for more than 15 years. Our partnerships with related sub-contractors like roofers and concrete installers ensure that you get a team of contractors that have worked together for years as a team. We pride ourselves on our quality of work and the value we provide to all of our clients. In this way, we firmly believe that you get what you pay for when it comes to masonry repairs. The cheapest contractor will often have the cheapest quality. We won’t be the lowest price, but we know our work comes with the best value and undoubtedly the most attentive service.
"North Shore Masonry and Concrete did a wonderful job on my commercial building, and working with them was a very pleasant experience throughout. They provided a quote quickly and at a price that was fair. Their crew spent nearly 2 weeks repairing a number of deficiencies in our building--including extra issues found during construction that they repaired for no additional charge. They were extremely knowledgeable and helped us identify and solve water-intrusion issues as well as a substantial structural issue with one of the corners of our building. The quality of their work was top-notch. They matched new brick to existing brick, the tuckpointing was clean, and they repaired the structural issues expertly. Their crew was also great to work with and made accomodations to avoid interfering with our business. Overall, I am grateful to have found North Shore Masonry and Concrete and am happy to recommend them."

"Our experience with A&D was excellent. After 5 quotes (A&D being the first) and reading through the contracts, not only was A&D's the most direct, but they were also the most honest. No hidden fees or language. Our representative was easy to talk to, made last-minute adjustments before the work started, and was available throughout the project. Each crew that came to complete the work were professional, kind, and had top notch skills. They were very tidy too- and cared about my three dogs’ safety. The project manager addressed all my questions and completed a thorough inspection with me post project. The warranty on work is best in class as well. I am going to use A&D for my future projects. We strongly recommend A&D. You will not be disappointed in price, quality, installation, warranty, or communication (verbal, email, text, and phone). Thank you A&D. PS. I love my dryer vent."

Brick construction offers numerous benefits, including exceptional longevity, natural resistance to fire, and substantial durability against weather extremes. The thermal mass of brick helps regulate indoor temperatures, potentially reducing energy consumption. Brick homes often maintain their aesthetic appeal with minimal maintenance, and many buyers perceive them as premium properties, potentially supporting stronger resale values compared to homes built with other materials.
Brick veneer consists of a single layer of brick attached to a standard wood-framed wall, providing the aesthetic of brick without serving as the structural support. This approach costs between $3 and $20 per square foot, depending on the specific type. Structural brick construction uses brick as the actual load-bearing wall material, requiring more extensive materials and specialized construction techniques. Most contemporary "brick houses" utilize the veneer approach rather than true structural brick.
Adding brick siding to an existing home costs $72,000 for a 2,000-square-foot residence. Real brick siding ranges from $10 to $20 per square foot, while more budget-friendly alternatives include thin brick veneer ($3 to $10 per square foot) and faux brick panels ($6 to $13 per square foot). This renovation requires professional installation to ensure proper moisture barriers and structural attachment.
