I hired this company to redo my concrete steps and wrought iron railings and they nailed it:…read more * The proposal from Peter was much more detailed than the other quotes I received. * The crew led by Art was very efficient. They demolished the steps, poured new ones along with a new walkway, and got a perfect shape. They also replaced my house's unusually deep limestone door sill. * They redid my railings, extending them to match the slightly higher layout and also repainting them so i didn't have to get all-new ones. Very friendly, professional, and a good value overall.

Robert Reese and his company have been working on our condo building in Oak Park for a number of…read moreyears now, their work is almost finished. Our building is the largest condo building in Oak Park, and it was built not quite 100 years ago. All brick and terra cotta, so one can imagine the restoration that needed to be done. Robert Reese may just be the most knowledgeable brick guy in the U.S., and no one takes brick and stone restoration more serious than he does. Add to this his experienced crew of workers, who are also experts in the field of brick and stone restoration, not to mention extremely courteous and down right friendly, and you have the best masonry company in all of Chicagoland. Thanks to Robert Reese and his crew, our building will stand the test of time for another hundred years to come and it looks beautiful! AAA 1 Masonry and Tuckpointing is the "BEST"!

Nicolas Roofing & Tuckpointing did a great job fixing a roof leak that was causing water damage in…read moreour primary bedroom. Once the work started, David and his team found additional leaks that could have caused much bigger problems if they hadn't been repaired. They fixed everything, removed and rebuilt our rooftop wood deck to access the leak, and completed the entire project in just two days. The crew was professional, polite, and left everything clean. David was great to work with; he communicated throughout the project and kept us informed every step of the way. The project ended up being a lot more extensive than originally expected, but the quality of the work was excellent. I'd definitely recommend Nicolas Roofing & Tuckpointing if you're looking for a reliable roofing company.

I would highly recommend David and his team. We had everything taken out of our backyard including…read moreexisting plants, grass, everything. We had charcoal bricks put in. The entire project took 2 days from start to finish. David sent pictures all day on both days which was amazing to see the progress. I am attaching some before and after pictures. This was just finished 2 days ago and we are waiting for furniture to be delivered as well as plants to be planted. I am also attaching an inspiration photo of what my vision is for once I complete the furniture, plants and lighting. My vision was cozy and tranquil and so far it's on it's way. I would work with David on any other projects in the future. We had 4 companies come out, David was by far the one that explained the most, seemed to care the most and also gave a very competitive price that couldn't b beat.

Overall, we're happy with the quality of our new fence. The workmanship was good, the finished…read moreproduct looks great, and we felt the pricing for the fence itself was fair. Our only concerns were with communication and project management. Our signed contract included replacing the fence as well as demolishing and removing a concrete step. A few days after the project began, we were told the concrete removal would cost extra because the step was concrete. We didn't mind paying the additional cost--we understand unexpected situations can come up--but it was frustrating that this wasn't identified and communicated during the initial estimate or before the work started. The concrete step was identified on the day work began, and he mentioned the extra charge 3 days later. Once the fence was completed, we were asked for full payment even though the contracted work had not yet been finished. We ultimately agreed to pay the remaining balance because we didn't want to go back and forth. It also seemed like multiple jobs were being worked on at the same time, which delayed completion. We were told a jackhammer needed to be rented to complete the concrete removal, but it wasn't arranged until later, adding to the delay. Overall, we're pleased with the final product and the quality of the work. I would hire Danny again because the workmanship and pricing were good. However, I would make sure the contract had more detailed terms regarding change orders, payment milestones, and project completion timelines to avoid any misunderstandings. Better communication throughout the project would have made the experience much smoother.

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.

Ernie was a very nice guy and I've tried to work with him for the past month to get it corrected but despite him being immediately available to do the work initially, has not showed to come back now three times and will not return my calls or texts. Too bad these other reviews are so inaccurate or I wouldn't be looking for a new mason to fix this job. Update: I filed a Better Business Bureau complaint to help mediate this issue and the company has simply ignored it. I am now going through the process of taking this company to small claims court. What a nightmare this company is to work with, neve Response: My text was to the cleaning of the brick not the finished product. Ernie only replied to my BBB complaint after I posted an update to this review which has been the only means to get this businesses attention. I'm looking forward to getting this resolved. Happy to post more pictures than what is already shown below of the absolute abysmal quality and total lack of detail in the work. Huge chunks of space are absent in my wall as his team didn't replace bricks as the quotes indicates. Sections of the wall were not completed entirely with the response "Unable to reach or inaccessible". Explanations of him not coming out to resolve the issues included: "I lost my phone, couldn't come out". "Another excuse, Have another job at site won't be out" Which I received 2 minutes after the scheduled time. My review, details, and photos of the work speak for themselves. One of the worst contractors I've ever worked with.

I sent them a yelp message around 4/11/18 and after hearing back from Donna, an owner, that Ernie would contact me for a proposal I never heard back. I followed up about three times to let Donna know Ernie hadn't contacted me and she indicated he had a personal situation that he was tending to. I understand things like that; however, it speaks volumes about the way they perform business when after so many attempts by me, the consumer, to follow up and the owner never contacted me. Worth noting, I believe Ernie is the owner / operator of the business. They have had my contact info (email and phone, as well as address) since the original correspondence yet never tried to make amends for blowing off commitments to come estimate or not calling when they said they would. I contacted them on 4/11 and after a month of back and forth messages from Donna saying that Ernie would call me, then not calling me, I tried once more. I messaged them on 5/7/18 and said I was willing to give it one more opportunity for an estimate because their other reviews were good and because I was trying to be mindful to whatever Ernie was dealing with but THEY NEVER REPLIED or called as of 6/2/18. I hope the owners see this message and take ownership for their actions and that they improve upon fulfilling the commitments they make moving forward as a result. In small business America you cannot lead people along regarding when you will come out or call back. It was a blessing for me in retrospect - imagine if I'd have given them my business and had an issue that needed their attention after they had been paid. If it was this difficult to reach them to obtain an estimate imagine how hard it would have been to get them to call me about a potential work defect or warranty issue.
