Choose 3D if you want tens of thousands of dollars in damages to your house. 3D "forgot" to put in a waterproof membrane in between the patio they installed and our brick house. This has caused the bricks to crumble behind the patio inside our house. Frank refuses to take responsibility. He might seem nice when you first meet him but he is a shady businessman. read more

3D Brick recently completed work on our new patio, walkway and floor for the garage porch. And we are very pleased. The patio itself is beautiful. But the replacement of the cement walk to the garage, and the old concrete slab by the garage, exceeded our expectations. The slab was in horrible condition, broken up, and uneven, undoubtedly due to tree roots. Ricardo and his team removed all of the old cement as well as the offending roots and replaced them with an attractive floor. Needless to say, it is a tremendous improvement. The staff from 3D were very easy to work with, from Frank who came out to set up the work, Alex who helped me with the building permit, to Ricardo who led the team. Ricardo saw to it that the job was done well and even did a couple of things we hadn't even thought to ask for, like adding a step down from the back door. I highly recommend this business. read more

We went with 3D Brick Paving to construct our patio. Franco Tangorra was very helpful in going over design concepts and stone selections. He visited several times to make sure we were satisfied throughout the project. Ricardo lead the team who did the work. He is amazing! Very experienced and professional throughout. Made sure everything was completed to our satisfaction! We ended up with the patio we always wanted and at a fair price. If you want high quality workmanship and value I highly recommend 3D. read more

The team was beyond thorough, hard working and seem to enjoy their work which shows in the stellar workmanship of the final result. They have our unequivocal endorsement for your paving project. read more

3D Brick Paving just installed a raised stone patio for us and they did a fantastic job! From start to finish, Frank was knowledgeable, thorough in his proposal, and very responsive to any questions we had during the project. Ricardo and team did an outstanding job from laying out the footings, to building the retaining wall and finally to setting the pavers. Best of all, the job only took six days to complete. We highly recommend 3D Brick Paving! read more

Frank built a patio for us nearly 10 years ago and after we moved we hired him to build another. They did a fantastic job. His crews are detail oriented and are excellent craftsmen. We had a specific border in mind and he was able to build it to specifications from a picture we sent. Facing a material shortage he worked directly with the Unilock rep to secure product that was unavailable in much of the Midwest. Our patio and walkway is beautiful and we cannot thank Frank and his crew enough for the great work they've done on our property. read more

I was impressed with three day from start to finish. Many contractors don't even get back to you when you reach out, but Franco not only reached back out, but was persistent, and his persistence paid off! All the guys who put our patio together were a professional, and Talented, and within a week made our ugly concrete turn into a beautiful luxury outdoor space read more

It's been over 20yrs. since 3D Brick Paving installed our brick paver patio and seat walls. It has endured the test of time, many celebrations and has held up incredibly well. After all these years, we called upon 3D to make some enhancements on the patio. The 3D crew exhibited professionalism, quality and skilled workmanship leaving this homeowner in awe once again. So very pleased with the end result and thankful we chose 3D so many years ago and again today! They're truly the best and second to none. Kathy and Rob Holzheimer read more

What a terrific company~finally someone who was honest and fair as far as pricing. We had a brick patio put in back in 2007 and the warranty was up in 2014. Yep, great warranty back then! The last few years, water started pooling under the dining table and once it soaked in, there was silt which couldn't be swept away, it had to be hosed down. Two years ago, we had someone put in a French drain but it was only a 2" pipe so it didn't really help. Franco came out from 3D and suggested a 6" drain and removal of several bricks. They built up the material underneath the bricks and put them back where they were and voila! No more issues. I am so pleased as I know it's a small thing but to look out every day and see silt was too much~ no more! Great company!! read more

We had a weedy, old unlevel patio repaired, sanded and sealed. Franco understood exactly what we needed and gave us a reasonable estimate. The crew worked really hard and the results are fantastic. It really does look brand new! Highly recommend! read more

We hired 3D Brick Paving for a compete rebuild of our brick paver patio. The promised Nieman Marcus (at Newman Marcus prices) goods and delivered Dollar Store quality work. To begin with they installed the pavers too high so now we have water coming in our basement. The step landings they recommended broke after about a year, the cuts and angles look like Ray Charles cut them with help from Stevie Wonder not even close to what they show on their website or in the brochures. The city I live in failed it on inspection and they told me "not to worry about it they don't really care" so 5.5 years later it still hasn't passed inspection. I called to ask them to look at and fix the step landings after 3 months and about 5-6 phone calls they finally came out and said yeah they need to be fixed. Several phone calls and about 18 months later they came out to replace the landings and the new ones have cracked again in less than 6 months. The other work they fixed was, to put it gently, less than ideal. Different colored bricks, several they fixed are loose. Overall they promised cake, candy and lollipops and delivered a steaming pile of dog mess. read more

Frank and his staff were great. He created my front entrance that I love. Their quality is excellent and prices were reasonable. I would definitely hire then again. read more

Alex came out to the house - nice guy but ZERO follow-up from him or the Company. If I did not call to see what was happening with our estimate then we wouldn't have had any contact at all. We only need a number of repairs so i guess 3D did see enough money from us - big mistake - I have many times referred contractors to our friends and clients - but not these guys read more

3-D repaired my brick paved driveway. It was bumpy and irregular from tree roots. They did a great job at a fair price. I would recommend them without reservation. read more

We've used 3D in the past and have been very happy with their work. Needing to have a retaining wall redone, I called them 3 times, once leaving a message (they never returned my call) and they finally came out about a week later. They said they'd email me the proposal within 2-3 days. It's been a week and a half and I'm still waiting. I've called them 3 times and no answer and they have yet to return my messages. This is not a way to run a business if you want to make money. We're going with another company who's customer service has been terrific. They came out and gave us a price before they left. They've been texting us with pictures of stone colors and other items we've asked about. At this point I don't care if they are charging me slightly more. The communication and attentiveness is worth it! 3D is a hot mess. read more

I was recently on vacation and the home owner that we stayed with was redoing their backyard with pavers. It looked like back breaking work and the equipment they rented or bought look like a pain to work with. They stated that they wished they just paid someone to do the job for them. So when it came time to expand our tiny porch to a slightly larger porch, I searched Yelp for a quality company. After a few quotes, I decided that if I wanted the job done right I had to go with Frank D and 3D Pavers. He wasn't pushy with the sale, and was patient as we checked out our options at his show room. His crew was on time and really showed up with some heavy machinery. I must have counted three trucks, a CAT, and 8 guys at one point. They were fast, and didn't cut any corners doing the job right. The patio ended up looking better than I imagined. The positive is that the work is guaranteed for 5 years. I would highly recommend 3d Pavers. Worth every penny. read more

We used 3D Brick Paving for our patio in June 2019 and we love it! We get so many compliments on it, too! They did a great job and were easy to communicate with and understand the process. Frank was transparent and personable. We compared prices against 3 other companies and 3D was the best value for the price. We've recommended them to neighbors and would use them for any future brick paver needs! read more

I did not have any work done by 3D but one of their drivers accidentally hit my mailbox when turning around from the driveway across the street. The company was very responsive in having someone come out and take the mailbox out of the ground and re set it in new concrete as the truck pushed the mailbox and made it loose in its foundation. I had no proof (only visually saw him hit the mailbox), but the company did not dispute it or try to claim the driver did not do it, you have to appreciate a company with integrity. The person who took my call was very apologetic (although not her fault) and assured me it would be looked into and taken care of, and it was. If I ever need work they do have done at my house, they will be the first company I call. read more

My brother and his wife's patio was sinking in and they needed a repair that was fast, non expensive, yet beautiful. 3D did nothing but that in a quick and efficient manner. I have recommended people to this family owned business for years and will continue to do so.

Excellent company! Reliable, professional, responsive, expert craftsmanship and terrific owner and staff. Our community group in Chicago used 3D Brick Paving after a local contractor backed out their commitment to install a substantial engraved brick pathway at Addison & Avondale as part of a new community garden. Within less than 2 weeks, 3D was on site and completed the job in one day. 3D Brick Paving did an exceptional job at a very fair price for our non-profit. I would use them at my home and have recommended them to others. Next time you're on Addison near the Kennedy Expressway, check out the walk way near the new Rafael Lopez mural to see 3D's work! THANKS AGAIN Mike (owner) and Javier (foreman) and crew! read more

We used 3D Brick Paving for two different projects. The first project was to install new pavers on our front walkway. I can't be happier with how they look. The crew was polite, friendly and best of all they cleaned the area each day before they left. Not only did they start the job on time they actually started a week earlier than planned! After they finished and I saw the excellent job that they did, I contracted them to remove my deck and build a beautiful pation and firepit in my backyard. All I can say is WOW!!!! Again very polite and friendly staff (different crew than first project)! They started and finished on-time and on budget. I can't stop raving about how great a job this company did. Talk about adding major value to my home. No need to go anywhere else for your paving needs. Try 3D Paving today, and I promise you that you wont be sorry! read more

My husband and I didn't even know where to start when looking for a contractor to do our patio, nor did we have any ideas about what the design should be. Not to mention, ensuring that we found a contractor that would do quality work and ensure that drainage never became an issue. My husband and I are former condo owners in the city, not the handiest of couples, and also not a couple that prides themselves on knowing how to do any DIY project,. However, I pride myself on doing my homework and being extremely particular and cautious before I make any significant investments/decisions. When we went down the path of interviewing and ultimately selecting a contractor it was quite an undertaking. We didn't know who we could ultimately trust to get the job done not only to our liking but with craftsmanship that will be able to hold up over the years with our severe weather. I thought I had chosen our contractor after I completed 10 different interviews, however, I came across the 200 plus positive reviews of 3D brick paving on angie's list and cross checked it with other sites that provide consumer reviews and wanted to give them a call to see what they had to offer/suggest. Our initial call and all of our conversations after that were with Mike D'aeillo the owner of the company and after our first conversation with him my husband said "we found our contractor". Mike, hands down is one of the most knowledgable individuals in his field. He not only prides himself on getting the job done right, with the best craftsmanship possible, but he also specializes in drainage, which was my husbands biggest concern when we revamped our back yard. Mike not only provided a beautiful design but ensured that he took every precaution in the final project to ensure we would not have any drainage issues. 3d Brick paving is also one of unilocks biggest contractors so they had a display at their corporate office which made my husband and I very confident that this clearly was not their first rodeo. They were actually three months booked after we selected them but the wait was worth it! The crew that was at our house, finished on schedule, were prompt, professional, very courteous and extremely detail oriented. Javier,the foreman, was phenominal. He consulted with me daily to ensure that I was 100% satisfied and his attention to detail was exceptional. I would recommend them to anyone and definitely plan to use them again in the future. I have never had a more positive experience with a contractor in my 18 years being a homeowner! read more

We have a unique front area in our house with a brick wall enclosing it, so we wanted to create a Mediterranean style courtyard. We interviewed a few paver companies, but Frank at 3D really stood out - he had some great ideas for how to make the whole design flow and suggested that we incorporate the walkway where it connects to the driveway. Then he sent us some 3D renderings of what the project would look like that were amazingly accurate. His price was right in the middle of the other quotes we got, and when we watched the crew do the job we realized we definitely got what we paid for! Of course, we also selected some of the most expensive Unilock pavers but they're gorgeous and really completed the look we were aiming for... The free design services alone were worth a ton - but the execution and detailed professional job exceeded our expectations! We hope to use 3D and Frank's services again one day when we are ready to do the patio in our backyard also... read more

I think the measure of a business is not how they can do a good job, it's what they do when there is a problem. I had a sewer repair that required digging so my front steps had to be rebuilt. I found Mike, like many of you, by looking at Yelp reviews. Mike agreed to do the job and re-use the stones even though they had to be re-assembled like a puzzle! Other contractors wanted to use new materials which would have been an additional cost. Unfortunately, when the job was almost done some of the stones didn't look right and some of the old materials were cracked during the process. Mike worked late with me, addressed my concerns and helped me get the beautiful result I wanted. read more

3D Brick Paving - Finished Product - Lombard - General Contractors Near Me - Des Plaines, Illinois

This is not a story of a new installation, but one 20 years after my Unilock brick was installed. Original installer no longer in business. The moldings holding the bricks down coming out due to years of raising and lowering ground from weather changes. Many areas no longer looking as flat and clean as it used to bet. Plus I was tired of power washing all my brick so was extremely dirty and moss growing all over the place between the bricks. Called a number of installers. None would take the job and those that would insisted in using a sealer. Bricks are 20 years old and don't like any coatings or cement like sand between the bricks. But they all insisted. Then called Mike D'Aiello at 3D Brick. Mike came out and was extremely informative. He never tried to force us to do anything. Only provided his expert opinion. Mike quoted us to lift out all the existing moldings including all surrounding brick, replace the moldings, level some areas, and even identified an area where we could put an underground gutter drain. Our original gutter drain laid across the walkway that lead to the backyard and had to always go around it or trip on the gutter. We opted to have the underground drain pipe and pop up drain installed while they were here. Price was incredibly good compared to others and for a minor cost took out an entire area of brick that was very uneven and relaid it. The materials they used did not match the low price they charged. The materials were top grade. They didn't break a single brick during the job. Power washing job they did took care of all the moss and dirt and bricks looked wonderful. Took them the good part of a day which was nothing for such a tedious job. The driveway, walkway, and patio look better now than it did when we originally had it installed. Javier and crew were very nice, dedicated to their work, and willing to go above and beyond to make sure you are happy. They left the area looking immaculate. No question I'd use them again. read more

We had several companies come out to review the yard and propose and quote a paver patio and installation of rock underneath our deck. The job was somewhere around 650-700 square feet of paver alone. We had a pool up until a couple of years ago and we no longer wanted the pool, and I no longer wanted to maintain grass in this area. All others that we talked to or had quote the project paled in comparison to 3D with regard to offerings and really understanding the job. Mike D' Aiello came out on a rainy Saturday a couple of weeks ago and stood in the rain with us checking the current grade and proposing several ideas for our conversion. One of our big concerns was drainage as we did not want our new patio to be the reason for neighbor's flooded yards. Mike took care of that. No one else that came out even checked the grade and addressed the drainage concern with options like Mike did. We sat in the kitchen and Mike explained everything going into the quote. He actually did the quote while we talked and had coffee at the kitchen table. I'm somewhat of an old-school kitchen table talk kind of guy as that's how I was brought up. If I can't get a feel for a guy in my kitchen over coffee or alternate drink, it's not a good fit for me. On Sunday we drove out to their place in Des Plaines and looked at the different options and patterns in their outdoor showroom. We then met Mike later in the week to go over the details and see what we were getting. Mike showed and gave us an idea as to what the pavers would look like with different finishes (wet and matte).We went home and it didn't take long for us to decide who we were going with. We actually upgraded to another paver without any up-sell pressure from Mike. He just wanted us to get what we wanted and be happy with it. My wife also insisted that if we were going to get this work done, 3D was the only one she wanted to do the work. We made the agreement and we were slated for a 3 day job scheduled to be done the last week of May as we wanted to get this work done as soon as possible. Mike called me last Saturday and said he had a crew available this week as some of the other towns he was doing work in hadn't yet issued permits they needed. His crew came and worked Monday through Wednesday. The guys worked hard, were attentive to our requests and made sure everything was clean in the alley and surrounding areas everyday before they left. We are so pleased with the work and the way the patio and rock under the deck worked out. We've had more people stopping by than ever this week, just to see the work. They have all been impressed and complimentary. I personally can't say enough good things about Mike and the 3D crew, other than now we have a beautiful patio and back yard and we are looking toward many years of putting it to good use, thanks to them. Talking to Mike, I knew we were going to be happy with 3D and their work. Sometimes you can just tell by talking to a guy. Mike is a class act and a regular guy that really knows his business. Do not do a project of this type without talking to Mike and considering 3D Brick Paving. He knows what he's talking about and won't settle for supplying substandard work. read more

Exceptional service from start to finish!! After meeting with a number of brick paving companies I decided on going with Frank and 3D Brick Paving, and I will use them for any future project as well. Frank first came out for a quote. He was professional, courteous, and took the time to understand my particular needs as I have a son with special needs. He outlined a plan and his quote was reasonable, fair and competitive. They started our patio, walk and stoops on a Tuesday and were done by Sunday (with one day rain delay, they would have been done on Saturday.) The workers were professional and fast. Everyone I encountered was respectful and amazing. Frank came by the first day and seeing the space raw he was able to visualize a better plan for the landing and stairs that lead out to the patio from the house. His impromptu change in design was genius and suited our needs so much better. We appreciated their insight so very much. They have given us an outdoor space that has exceeded our expectations and dreams. Thank you!! And I can't wait till the day I dream up another space!! read more

We had the same bad experience as other 1 star reviews from the summer of 2018. We met with a rep in June, 2018 and had a great meeting about installing a patio. The rep was obviously very knowledgeable and experienced. He made some great suggestions and presented a bid a couple of weeks later. We asked for a few modifications in the proposal, and he said he'd resubmit a bid in the next week or so. At that point, everything fell apart. We made many efforts to communicate with him, each resulting in a lot of frustration on our part. We received repeated promises of follow-ups from 3D, none of which came to fruition. After a few weeks of this nonsense, we gave up and moved on. read more

Frank of 3D Brick Paving is outstanding. We did out patio project - Frank was punctual, became our partner to provide ideas and pros-cons about options. His commitment to quality is second to none. We looked for 3 different contractor quotes - while he is not the cheapest, he was the best value for money. His crew came as scheduled and was very professional throughout the project. we are very happy with our patio and his work. Definitely would recommend him for any hardscape M&K Glenview, IL read more

Mike the owner spent more time on the site of our repair work than I expected him too. He didn't just give an estimate. For example, he spent time solving a very difficult drain problem and had some parts on his truck that worked with our drain tile. He didn't charge extra for what was actually extra work and supplies. I have used other companies for brick paver work, but this one does the best work. I would not recommend any other company for brick paver work. read more

They did great work once they started working, but as others have stated, scheduling could be an issue. It took us weeks to finally get a hold of our rep after accepting the job proposal and they started like a month later. The workers who came did a nice job and were responsive to any changes or questions we had and patiently explained things to us when we didn't understand why something was being done a certain way. Overall, I am happy with the finished product and am very glad I don't have to be chasing these people around. It would be easier for everyone if they didn't overbook themselves or have a better system of tracking and responding to customer phone calls. read more
