Before knee wall

(situation) * knee wall/entry ⁃ lots of efflorescence in basement ⁃ separating from building ⁃ bulging * 2 rusted lintels * one area of worn brick * missing, cracked, falling off mortar here and there * displaced walkway bricks at sidewalk (work done) * lifted my huge old planter filled with plants off the knee wall, to the landing, and back several times with no damage * tore down and rebuilt knee wall with vapor barriers, stainless drip edges, weep holes/wicks, etc * used new brick (found a good color match), saved a few old bricks to weave into knee wall and help blend the old with new, matched old mortar color * replace worn bricks in other areas * replaced 2 rusted lintels * tuck pointing at various spots around the front of the building * re-lay displaced walkway bricks at the city sidewalk * apply sealer to knee wall, building wall, landing, walkway, doorstep, and frame (issues) * bottom stone at the end of the knee wall broke, replaced free (looked rough in the before photos) * new knee wall was built 3 bricks wide instead of the original 2-1/2 bricks wide. Original cap stone was then too small. So they replaced the cap stone at their cost. The result is that the knee wall looks a little different: wider, straight sided. I prefer the slimmer original with the slight setback between the bottom stone and the brick courses. But my building isn't on the historic register, so whatever. (time to complete) * 5-7 days over about 3 weeks? * Needed better communication and updates on when the next step will take place, weather permitting. (cost) * $12,850 (in summation...) I'll call them again for the next masonry job but I'll be in contact with the owner every day. Might have helped if there was a little more job oversight and the owner or a foreman came by daily to check progress in person, correct problems immediately, and let me know what the next step is and when it will occur. Especially since I don't speak Polish.

Wonderful job of the concrete work done on my back door. They took time sanding and powerwash and new concrete level on top with sealer. As you can see before and after job was completed. They are very professional and know how to do the work properly. I highly recommend them to do your next concrete project.

Over Father's Day weekend there was a tornado warning and one side of my porch fell. We received quotes from several companies but went with this company. The owner explained the process, the plan of action, etc. He remained in contact, providing updates, etc. His work is so incredible my next door neighbor hired him also!

If you look closely you'll see the water is still coming in

I had Andre come out to give me an estimate I searched high and low for a good company to stop the water leak in my basement I went with this company because they had a 5 star rating plus he guaranteed that I would not get any more water in my basement well 3,550 dollars CASH later I got water again I texted him and called him numerous times sent pictures and videos of the leak he offered to come back and never showed up nor did he try to reschedule I paid him cash as he requested HUGE MISTAKE!!! I'd also like to add that he was promptly on time to receive his cash payments I was 3 minutes late getting home to meet him with the cash and he was already calling me but now since i'm getting water no response now I have to pay more money that I don't have and call someone else to try and fix my water leakage problem they don't stand behind heir work I work hard for my money and don't appreciate being treated with such disrespect they are not a water proofing company TRUST ME!!!!!

Our sealed building on the left, compared to our neighbor's unsealed building on the right after heavy rain (built together).

Absolutely call!! Pawel was fantastic. He was quick, honest and forthcoming. He does great work,…read moreclean and professional. I had a bowing veneer wall I wanted redone. Pawel came out and priced it our worst case scenario (as requested) to include the veneer and retaining wall. Once we started and saw the retaining wall was intact, he adjusted the price down accordingly. He communicated with me the entire way, giving his opinion and how it would look if we do it this way or that. He wasn't pushy at all, with the exception of the retaining wall adjustment, the price never changed. I've been in construction and facilities all my career, I had Zero issues with Pawel, never thought he was trying to take advantage of me and now have him redoing my back patio which is pavers.

DO NOT USE THIS COMANY! I hired this company to replace my concrete driveway. Shortly after…read moreinstallation my concrete began to blister/scale. My concrete driveway looks awful and needs to be replaced. I contacted Pawel, an owner of J&P, who stated that I must of used salt on my driveway which I do not and Pawel knew the truth that it was a substandard concrete job. I had a concrete testing company look at my driveway and they claimed that the contractor added water or overworked the concrete mix. Ozinga, the cement company, claimed that there was no problem with the mix that was delivered to my home. The crew sent to my home trashed my landscaping. I tried to work with J&P about getting my driveway replaced and sharing in the cost to no avail.

I'm writing this review 3 years after Tony and his team replaced our entire flat roof, and I'm just…read moreas grateful today as I was then. We got several quotes, and the prices were all fairly similar. But Tony took the time to send us photos and videos of the roof so we understood exactly why each part of the work needed to be done. That transparency is why we chose him, and we couldn't have been luckier that we did. Once the work began, it turned out our roof hadn't been built to code in the first place. Years of water damage meant the plywood and even several rafters had to be replaced. Tony walked us through every step and kept sending us videos throughout the process. Naturally, these unexpected findings added to the cost, but he was incredibly understanding about our situation and gave us generous discounts on the additional work and materials. At the time, my father-in-law was working as a roofer in New York, so I was able to run everything by him. He confirmed that everything Tony found and recommended was completely legitimate. In the three years since, we haven't had a single problem with the roof. Every time it rains, I'm thankful for Tony and his crew. They did the job and so much more. I recommend Tony without reservation. If you want a roofer who is honest, communicates clearly, and truly cares about his customers, give him a call.

Being newish to Chicago-style flat roofing issues and after a leak developed, I'm so glad we went…read morewith Tony and Quality Way Roofing. He explained the shoddy original construction of the problem areas and how his team would remedy the issue with a much better construction. The guys who came out and completed the repair and re-roofing were excellent and very contentious when accessing the roof from inside and outside the house. The project from estimate and start to finish was very efficiently executed and very high quality with a fair price! Communication was also superb. Go with these pros. We'll be using Tony and Quality Way for any future roofing needs.
