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

"Tony is a very talented & resourceful Mason. He was very upfront and clear about what he would do & how much it would cost. He researched at 4 different brick suppliers to find an exact match that I needed for my 11 year old brick facade, and also managed to get enough supply (most places had discontinued that brick), to get the work done. He is very reasonable and does a very high quality job. I would not hesitate to hire him again if needed, and would definitely recommend him to anyone else."

"Highly recommend Anthony and Top Hat for fireplace or chimney work. His inspection report was thorough and highlighted exactly what was needed for new houses fireplace and chimney."

"Great experience. My neighbor had some chimney repairs done the work looked great and was done pretty fast. So I went over and got the info and had the fellas come by and replace a few bricks and tuckpoint some problem areas at my place. Im very happy with my choice to say the least everything turned out great."

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

"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."

"I hired Franco's to repair my furnace chimney and tuck point my two flat building. Was extremely happy with the promptness, results, cost, & clean up. Will be my go to for my next project and would highly recommend their service."

"Great service very knowledgeable clean job will definitely work with Rivera concrete paving again"

"They showed up on time, they did a good job, when I pointed out things they took care of it."

"The two workers showed up a bit late (but we were notified they would be). Very nice guys. Said they could do the tuckpointing on our chimney right then. I thought their price was high for what was basically 2 hours work for two people. But I'd had a hard time finding anyone to do tuck pointing, so went ahead and had them do the work. Seems like they did a good job. It's hard to know without climbing up on our very steep roof. We will know in the coming year or two if their efforts solved our water and leaking problems on our chimney."
