Started with a fair and competitive price. Contractors showed up when they said they would. They were very professional and courteous. When the work was completed they cleaned up the area. The office staff was also vey courteous and answered any questions that I had. I would not hesitate to recommend ATP to family, friends or neighbors. read more

Got the wrong permit twice . Had to get someone else to finish the job and get the right permit twice. This guy tries to get a retroactive permit for new construction on an old building. The building needed a conservation permit which he never obtained. The city of Chicago says he is a crook trying to take advantage of people. It is a total nightmare. I would never recommend this company. read more

Affordable tuckpointing responded promptly to my inquiry and request for an estimate. The workers arrived as promised. Very satisfied with price and work done. Will use them again. read more

Came out and gave me a quote right away and fit me in their schedule quickly. The guys that came to do the work were professional and conscientious. Absolutely recommend them 100%. read more

Terrible results. Puddles after rain, each stair is a different height and uneven. Cracking as seen in photos. read more

See all

We hired them for a tuckpointing job for our Bluestone porch and stairs. We had the work done in July 2019. By February 2020, the new mortar was falling out, and the tiles were coming loose. Despite a three year guarantee, they refused to fix it. They claimed that it was damage from salt we put down over the winter. This is possible, but unlikely, as we only got a little salt on the tiles a couple of times over the whole winter when salting the nearby sidewalk. read more

All in all this company did great tuckpointing and chimney crown work, they were clear in their communication and pricing was clear and very fair. I took quotes from a few companies and Affordable Tuckpointing was the lowest and I had the best interaction with the guy who came to quote out the work. The quote was somewhat vague in that they would grind and tuckpoint "all severely damaged" spots on my home and chimney. Maybe this was more on me in that I didn't call out or mark with chalk all areas I specifically wanted them to do. But in the end they did all areas I would have even considered needing to be done, plus additional work. I would recommend ATPros to anyone for any concrete, brick, or chimney work. read more

the workers did a fine job of lintel replacement and tuck pointing. The estimate guy over estimated me by charging for an extra window, which wasn't even a window. When I contacted them they sent me small refund, but I feel like I was ripped off. I never received an estimate for the actual work done! That is shady business. And I had to contact them about returning to clean the residue off my house. I am in Westchester il 60154 Although the workers did a fine job and worked hard, the estimator seemed pretty shady. I do not recommend them for that reason. If you do decide to use them take a close look at the estimate, and make sure they are not estimating for work that doesn't need to be done read more

Usually people (myself included) write reviews when things are bad. I wanted to write a review because Affordable Tuckpointing went above and beyond. My tuckpointing looks great. Additionally I had a chimney cap put on. While up there one of the guys caulked a crack on the chimney crown. This may not seem like a big deal but another company wanted to charge me for the chimney cap and to caulk the crack whereas the crew at Affordable Tuckpointing just did it since they were already up there and it wasn't much work. They did me a huge favor. read more

Asked around to a lot of trades about chimney repair, and their name kept coming up. Had great reviews on another site (many more than here), and a good price. They showed up exactly when promised, completed the job exactly when promised, were polite, professional and did a great job. Highly recommend read more

I missed the gentleman's call by two minutes and I was home which apparently warrants a rude message ending with "don't call back". Hopefully no one will EVER call you ever. read more

I am very pleased with my experience with this company. I needed Tuckpointing and chimney work. Chris came and did estimate which was very reasonable. He was very down to earth and took time to explain what would be best way to go. His workmen arrived on time, worked very efficiently, were extremely polite and professional. They cleaned up all areas leaving no mess. The workmanship was excellent. I highly recommend this company for large or small jobs. I will use them again if the need arises. read more

I chose to go with Affordable Tuckpointing Pros for the following reasons: they seemed to be the most knowledgeable, they certainly were among the most affordable, and they gave me the impression that they wanted the job more than anyone else. Knowledge - Of all the companies that came to look at my home, Affordable Tuckpointing Pros was the only one that addressed the fact that my chimney was not properly lined. Actually, it was the ATP estimator that alerted me that my home had this problem; estimators from other companies never mentioned it. When I asked others about the issue, I was told, "Sorry, we don't do that chimney liners." My modest brick ranch was built in 1947 and has had little work done to it over the years. The chimney was as it was originally constructed and was open to the elements. Because of this, my chimney was slowly deteriorating on the inside. ATP installed the proper size stainless steel chimney liner. The draw of the gases from my gas furnace and hot water heater is now much stronger. Rain and snow are no longer coming in. And, during the winter, the warm vented air will no longer be condensing inside my chimney and causing unwanted moisture inside my chimney. Affordability - Yes, they live up to their name. I got six written quotes and the range was surprisingly wide; ATP's price fell in middle of the range. When I took into consideration their knowledge about the chimney flue issue, I viewed ATP's price as a bargain. I learned long ago to beware of low-ball prices, but I've also learned that paying a higher price doesn't necessarily mean you'll be getting better or more. Customer Satisfaction - Unfortunately, a week or so later, upon closer examination, I spotted a few joints that I felt weren't done properly. The spots in question were minor and cosmetic. I made one call and ATP responded quickly and corrected those minor problems to my complete satisfaction. Don't take the word of a stranger on the internet. Call around and get a bunch or quotes. But, do yourself a favor and call Affordable Tuckpointing Pros first. When you start contacting other companies, you'll quickly see for yourself just how knowledgeable and thorough they are, as well as how reasonably priced they are, too. read more

So, this was the 4th contractor to come out and give me an estimate for some chimney repair. I was looking forward to Affordable since they were recommended in our local service booklet. That was on Thursday, today is Monday and still no quote. Like one other company that came out they didnt even go up on the roof to inspect the chimney...how can you give a fair assessment without inspecting up close? However, I am not that disappointed as I do not believe that a contractor who comes out and meets a potential customer for the first time, should use the words hookers and cocaine during their chimney discussion. Omg! read more

Our house needed tuckpointing work done and Affordable Tuckpointing Pros was recommended to us by a friend down the street. They did not disappoint! Communication was great and the work that was done was even better! Chris, one of the owners, came out to initially scope the project and he couldn't have been easier to work with. I would recommend them to anyone. read more

I worked with ATP last year. When they came out to give me an estimate to fix my problem, I was surprised to be told that ATP could not help me as the problem could be fixed by my spray sealing the chimney. ATP only offered me the opportunity to call them for any assistance I might need in doing the work myself. This is a first-class customer- and service-oriented company that I would call in a heartbeat if I needed additional tuckpointing services. read more

My chimney needed to be rebuilt from the roof liner up. It was basically cracked in half and letting water in. Chris came out gave me an estimate. Had 3 different estimates and they all ranged from $250-$750. Went with ATP even though it was has the highest. The cheaper guys were basically going to caulk the cracks and replace any bricks that were cracked. Chris gave me more of a professional estimate and backed it up with a warranty for a complete rebuild. Even though I thought it was a little high priced for rebuilding 4 feet of chimney, the other guys did not back their work up with any warranty so this gave me a piece of mind. Plus, every company was backed up with work and couldn't get it done for 3-4 weeks out as well as ATP. I offered to pay cash and he had people out on Sunday, 3 days after the estimate. read more

From start to finish very professional Great job done Cleaned up before they left I would recommend these guys Was a pleasure dealing with them read more

Very pleased with their service. They repaired a crack in the chimney as well as installed the chimney cap (lock top damper). Will see how the repair work holds up over time but they did provide a warranty of the services performed. Truly professional service for which others were quoting way too high. Thank you. read more

Really appreciated the the time spent looking at our home and the issues we have noticed. But most valuable was the practical advice on DiY fixes to minimize the likelihood of major issues developing. If things change, we will definitely be calling Affordable and recommending them to neighbors. read more

I used these guys to tuck point a good portion of my garage. From the time they came out to give an estimate to the time I had to have them come back to do a spot they missed, they were very professional and easy to deal with. I would definitely use them again. They did a great job for a very reasonable price! read more

Very unprofessional company. I called for a quote during business hours and no one answered, so I left a message. No one called me back. I waited a week or so then tried again. This time a rude female answered. I asked if they had gotten my message and why no one had called me back, she didn't seem to care that no one had called me back and avoided answering the question of whether or not she got the message. I asked to have someone come out and give us an estimate and she said they'd have to call me back. Not surprisingly, I never received a call back. Another fly-by-night company it seems. I found them through this free guide that came to our house without us requesting it that seemed to be a good way to find services but it looks like it's just another scam we need to avoid. It was called "Best Pick Reports" and is one-star if you search for it online. :( read more

This may sound like a small thing...but I called this morning with a question about a grouting/mortar issue I am having on an existing interior brick wall and whether my existing walls are safe. The rep talked me through everything on the phone to calm my concerns. Most places I called said they couldn't really answer it. My concerns were taken care of. It says a lot about a company that is open and willing to help you with your problem -- because it means that when they do the actual job, they will make sure it the best it can be. read more
