She emailed and got a response from Tom that he would come out to give her a bid but wouldn't start for 4 more weeks.

When she said she would rather hear what a new bid would be, he said he didn't like to "play games" and refused to do the job. Seriously! My aunt is 90 years old, living alone and he knew that. I would not recommend someone like that.

Very neat--full cleanup at the end of every day. They were also very responsive and did more than they had agreed to, as we kept finding new areas that needed touch ups.

We tried to get a proposal from another "Oak Park" firm (which is actually just an Oak Park mail drop) and they never even came back with a proposal. Twelve years ago, we had the house painted and went cheap and regretted it. We definitely got our moneys worth with Thomas Restoration. Highly recommend.

We paid extra for powder coating to keep the hand rails a long time without rust also. Once the rails came they had smudges on the paint, scratches and the paint was tacky not dried. Once I contacted him about it he said he , the company, doesn't cover the paint imperfections on the rail....???? I have to use the touch up. That was a punch in the gut after waiting for that extended time and paying extra for powder coating. He said that company only covers is the rail is loose.... So after this experience I know that I will be for sure to ask what is covered when ordering any type of rails I'm hoping to right a retraction or follow up to this issue.

We live in an older brick two flat building in Lakeview. Teufel Roofing and Tuck Pointing has…read moreworked on my building on three occasions. About 15 years ago, Teufel Roofing tuck pointed the front wall of our building and rebuilt the front parepet wall that was leaning dangerously towards our front yard. It was a difficult job especially since the bricks in the front facing the street are over 100 years old and are extremely unique and irreplaceable. Many of the bricks were damaged and unusable. It was agreed upon that since we might be short of bricks during the rebuild that a slightly different design for the parepet wall might be necessary in order to have all of the front bricks match perfectly. The rebuild of the parapet wall was completed and it looked perfect with the redesign. The pricing for this job was extremely affordable. Two years ago, the chimney attached to our two flat needed to be replaced. I am sure it was the original chimney from 1911. Every year I would go up on the flat roof and "patch" it up myself, so you can imagine what it looked like. The year the chimney was replaced, I finally got up to the roof in October and I was rather shocked to see that this chimney was ready to fall over. It would have never survived the winter. Stuck in my head was the image of the chimney blowing over onto my neighbors house during a winter storm. Long story short, I called Teufel for an estimate. His estimate was the most reasonable by far. Also, since I had worked with him previously, I had no concerns about Teufel replacing the chimney. And of course the finished product turned out to be perfect. Our most recent project with Mr. Teufel was last Fall in 2018. As you recall, 15 years earlier I had the front of the building tuck pointed and the front parapet wall rebuilt. For many reasons, I had never gotten around to having the two side walls of the building tuck pointed or even maintained properly. Life happens, one gets busy and time passes. Most of my maintenance projects had been inside the building and therefore I really never closely looked at the outer side walls of the building. Sure I would glance at these walls in passing, but never with a critical eye to assess their condition. Long story short, I am guessing that the side walls had not been attended to for at least 30 or maybe 40 years. Needless to say, they were a mess. Of course, I immediately called Teufel for an estimate and we discussed all of the specifics as to which areas of the walls would be addressed and which areas required the most time and work. His estimate was very reasonable. The work on the walls started and I left town on a several day trip. ( I used to work for an airline ). I returned from the trip and the work on the walls had been completed. The walls looked great except that his workers had done more than twice the work for which we had contracted. Every previously compromised surface on both walls had been addressed and looked very good. The extent of the work completed was way beyond what I had expected. I offered to pay an additional amount to cover this extra work and my offer was politely refused. Truly, Mr. Teufel is an honorable man. Long story short, Teufel Roofing and Tuck Pointing has worked on our building on three separate occasions and we were well satisfied with the results of each project. We will not hesitate to call Teufel in the future, if the need arises.

I was so happy and impressed with the quality of the Iron works, which still holds up very well after 8 years , that I had another railing placed in my backyard by my patio bedroom window. Julian customized the same frame design as in the front and I absolutely love it. I feel so much safer and secure entering and leaving my house, not to mention how smitten I am again with the outcome. I value the quality of wonderful customer service and passion Julian shows in delivering and designing these extraordinary railings. He goes above and beyond, even cleaned and touched up my front railing a little bit on the top, all with professionalism, hard working and dedication. Its just not a railing, its a exceptional piece of art and I am so pleased . Thank you Julian for all you do, warm regards Nelleke .

Upon entering European Ornamental, I was amazed at the artistry/options. I designed the railing I wanted in a gloss finish. At the same time, they took the front step railing to recoat to look like new for a reasonable price. In 2021, I had the back railing recoated due to some rusting after sun and winter exposure. Today my 25 yr old iron patio furniture was returned after being re powder coated in semi gloss/matte finish. IT LOOKS AWESOME, BETTER THAN NEW. Thankfully, Julian was able to transport all 16 pieces to/from the location to get all the pieces recoated-I never could have myself. For any custom work, I highly recommend EUROPEAN ORNAMENTAL. The service, workmanship, friendliness is wonderful. I asked about best winter storage for patio furniture. I was told, IF pieces left outside, it is best to NOT cover them because trapping the moisture could cause more damage. good to know!!! Glen Ellyn IL
