Get matched with top brick or stone fireplace repairers in Wheaton, 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."

"We had a wonderful experience working with Anthony at A-1 Safety Chimney Service, Inc. Anthony came out to do an initial inspection and was extremely thorough. He spent time explaining the issues to my husband and I, showing us photos he'd taken and answering all of our questions. When Anthony came out to do the repair work, he was efficient and once again took time to discuss the work he had done with us in detail. We were able to build a fire in the fireplace that same night! I would highly recommend Anthony and A-1 to anyone in need of chimney repairs."

"The crew did a great job reflecting all needed repairs out somewhat dilapidated fireplace had, and completed the repairs in the same day. Great service."

"They did a really good job.  They were very professional, knew their business well, and always left the work area clean when they were done.  I had a multitude of problems with my fireplaces and chimneys and they addressed everything.  I had talked to other companies, but they were the most candid about what needed to be done, and they didn't try to sell me anything that I did not need. I would highly recommend their work."

"If you have tired old dark bricks or stone fireplaces or exterior on your house, Brick Transformers can add new life to it by using stains not paint. When it's completed, it looks like it was always that color, not painted. Harry Brax, the owner, does a superior job giving new life to an ugly duckling. I can't be more please with the way he transformed by fireplace. For this size and stone fireplace it took 7 hours, but only because he takes his talent to perfection. After sealing off the space, he begins with the first step as shown in the video. After that he starts to critique the hues to get the right balance of shading. If your looking, which you are if you're here, you won't be disappointed. This company is Professional, talented, perfectionist, friendly, on-time."

"Jan and his team were wonderful! Arrived on time and completed the work quickly. They did a fantastic job and fixed all the issues (cracks in foundation, brick repair, sealing, etc.). The price was also reasonable. Very nice to work with and would hire again/recommend!"

"We contracted with Coast to Coast Masonry after Romen visited our house and unlike the other three contractors that visited, was the only one to climb on the roof and notice that the original concrete chimney cap had cracked. What was originally a simple brick repair and tuck pointing job became a major chimney repair, but we were ready for that and agreed that this isn't a job that gets less expensive the longer it is put off. The mason team arrived 2 weeks after the the contract was signed and spent 1.5 weeks repairing, replacing, sealing, and tuck pointing every distressed brick on our house. It took them two days just to do the demo on the top of the chimney. They found multiple instances of additional damage and never raised the price. After the work was completed we knew that we'd not only stopped the clock on the brick damage that was occurring due to corners cut in the original construction, but that we'd built something that would really stand the test of time. Coast to Coast Masonry was fantastic to work with and we will definitely hire them again should the need arise."

"I liked how the repairman was not quick to sell a new fireplace. We were borderline in needing a new one, but of course wanted to repair what we have if possible. He explained what he was doing, and how the system worked clearly. Over all it was a very possitive experience. <br />"

"Miro and crew did a very nice job. They were skilled in matching our bricks, responsive and Professional. Did an excellent clean up job. We would definitely use them again."

"My chimney had a lot of water damage in the upper section. I received 4 estimates for my chimney repair. Two firms wanted to do a complete rebuild, and the other two (including EG) wanted to do a partial rebuild. EG rebuilt the chimney from about the roof line up (appr. 400 bricks), replaced various lower bricks that were in bad shape, tuckpointed the entire chimney, and replaced the chimney crown. I had asked about installing a chimney liner. EG evaluated the existing chimney tiles and concluded that a new liner was not necessary. Instead, he simply patched some cracked portions near the top. EG did an excellent job, and the price I paid was FAR lower than any of the other estimates I received. I would gladly hire him again. A few things to note: 1) English is not EG's native language. There were a few times I had a little trouble communicating with him. This was not a major problem, but there may be times where a text or an email is more effective. 2) EG did not provide a written estimate. Instead, he gave me an oral estimate the day he evaluated the needed repair. (I later confirmed the estimate to EG via an email.) The final repair cost was very close to the estimate ($50 off). 3) It is obvious that EG takes a lot of pride in his work. 4) I asked about applying water-proofing and EG agreed this would be a good idea. He is going to be back in a week to do that work (also at a very reasonable price)."
