Get matched with top brick or stone siding: repairers or partially replacers in Northbrook, IL

"After receiving several estimates for the work ranging from $2,500 to over $15,000, I decided to proceed with JC & Son Masonry. Greg provided the initial estimate and his attention to detail, professionalism, and friendly / low-pressure demeanor impressed us from the beginning. He spent an hour walking around the property and noting the areas needing repair, took many pictures, and explained the scope of the work. He provided a detailed estimate with pictures and also made some helpful recommendations to address a drainage issue near our garage. When the time came to perform the work, Greg and his brother, Jake, sent their crew of skilled professionals, who showed up early every day exactly when they said they would, worked long hours (even in the summer heat), and did quality repairs. After the repairs were completed, Greg performed a "quality control" walk-through and noted a few areas needing touch up, which his crew promptly addressed the following week. I am very happy with work and would hire JC & Son Masonry again without hesitation. Greg and Jake run an old school (in a good way) family business that takes pride in performing quality masonry work. Highly recommended!"

"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."

"Excellent work. I highly recommend this company. I am completely satisfied with the quality of the work. It was affordable and they conducted themselves with high degree of professionalism."

"Great and great"

"Fortune Restoration in Lincolnwood, Illinois has provided painting and restoration on the historic Noble-Seymour-Crippen House (Chicago's oldest--1833) for more than the past two decades. They strongly believe in preserving historical properties, while providing exceptional service and attentive care to architectural details so necessary in restoring and maintaining our structure. Their crews are very accommodating and professional, qualities that lead to a positive result. We are very pleased with their work and commitment to preserving Chicago's oldest house for our community and others in the city and elsewhere to appreciate and enjoy.

"When John's team did our decks last year, he identified some problems with our concrete stairs and the seals around our home. We had him back this year to rip up our leaking and disintegrating stairs, lay new concrete, fix several limestone bricks around our fence, and to re-seal around the foundation of our house which had leaked. His customer service was --again-- phenomenal, walking us through every step of the process. His team was super communicative, asking questions and letting us know updates throughout the process. They were also quick and efficient - he got us in within the week. They also added another gate for us to keep our dog in the back yard. 10/10 would hire this team again."

"I just hired Edmar to replace a glass block window in our brick house with a more modern double hung window, and they did a great job! I've also hired them in the past to rebuild our parapet and replace other old windows and the work is always great. They're easy to coordinate schedules with and the quality of work is top notch. I'll definitely be hiring them again for any future masonry projects."

"Great from start to finish."

"BEWARE of this company!!! Everything started out great, the staff was initially incredibly responsive and came out for an estimate. Their estimate was reasonable and competitive to a 2nd bid I had received, and I was offered a $500 discount and a commitment that the work would be done in 1.5 days if I signed the contract in 24 hours. I went ahead and signed the estimate. That is when the problems started.... The project manager (Moses) was completely non-responsive as to when the work would be completed. They were provided access to my home, yet never contacted me to let me know when they would arrive or when work would be completed. 3 weeks later, I still did not have a response on work completion and Moses stopped answering my messages and would not answer my calls. Finally, after calling the office (which is always closed and has an outdated voicemail response that hasn't been updated since Oct. 3rd) , I received a call from the technician. He tells me that work is complete, and that he'll be doing a walk through in a few days. Today, he calls to tell me he is there , but he doesn't know where the main gas line is and he can't figure out how to get gas to the fireplace. Ok, interesting... I call my gas company because we have working hot water and have been paying our gas bill and they tell me gas is entering the home. I tell this to technician, who tells me, well, that's too bad, they don't know what the problem is and that is my problem to solve, the work is complete on their end. How is work complete, if you have hooked up a gas fireplace , but can't figure out how to get gas to it? Isn't this something you would confirm BEFORE doing work? I can't get in touch with anyone in charge at the office and I am honestly shocked that anyone could have had a positive experience with this company."
