Kevin was great... the way he matched the brick, toothed in the brick, the attention to detail....Also really was easy to talk with (taught me about bricks !), and was a true pro from start to finish. I give these folks my highest recommendation. P.S the finished brick matches much more now that it was acid washed and dried... Great work !

Star Tuckpointing was recommended to me by a friend, and I'm glad I chose them. They were…read morestraightforward, honest, and fairly priced from start to finish. They took the time to explain exactly what work needed to be done, why it was necessary, and answered all of my questions, including advice on future masonry projects around my property. Communication was excellent, with clear expectations on timing, scope, and duration of the work. Most importantly, the quality of the finished work was outstanding. Highly recommend. 10/10. Peter and Voytek are the absolute best.

We've been working with Voytek and Peter at Star for 20 years and cannot say enough good things…read moreabout them! True professionals, very knowledgable, and also responsive and communicative. They take the time to thoroughly explain the options and provide a transparent and accurate quote up front, and they do excellent quality work for a very fair price. They have done many repairs for us over the years (stairs, re-caulking balcony, tuckpointing, re-sealing portions of the building) and recently (three years ago) did a complete tuckpoint/masonry repair/seal on our building, a three-story condominium. It is always a pleasure to work with them--they come when they say they are going to come, do the high quality work that they promise, and stand by their work after it is done! Would not hesitate to call them about any masonry issue. Very highly recommend Star!

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.

Hire them to do the job and you'll enjoy old school quality, all the way from consultation and evaluation of work to fit your needs, to the exemplary masonry work they do. Rating them 5/5 stars truly wouldn't even approach doing them justice! I recently hired them to tuck point and parge brick, and patch tarring on both sides of my Berwyn bungalow and was so impressed by their work and the outstanding results! Before Chris came for the initial assessment of the work, I was wrought with anxiety with the advent of calling a contractor in fear of being ill advised, encountering shoddy work, or being robbed blind. Chris really put my mind at ease, listening, wisely advising, and creating a plan to get the job done right the first time! The friendly crew was here on time, worked diligently and professionally for many hours under staggering heat and humidity, and their work is beautiful and so impressive. Thanks so much, Chris and Crew!!

DO NOT CALL PATRICK. DO NOT HIRE PATRICK. DO NOT TRUST PATRICK…read more PATRICK FORTNEY is very UNRELIABLE and SHADY. I tried several times to give him a chance to finish the job, and he has let me down every single time. He had so many excuses (car accident, lost phone, no money, etc) that I was a fool for trusting him. It's embarrassing. I urge you to READ THE FILTERED REVIEWS, and check out the horrible reviews on Angie's List and ripoffreport.com. I made a huge mistake by hiring him to clean our chimney, and then I made an even bigger mistake by agreeing to let him install a liner and do some other "critical" repairs. The BIGGEST mistake I made was to not listen to my wife and (against my better judgment) give him multiple chances (and checks). I really really wanted this to work out. He has been MIA for the past 10 days, and I have no confidence whatsoever that he will actually respond to any of my text messages or phone calls. The next step is to go after him (and his business) in small claims court and/or through the BBB. I hope this prevents any further damage done to honest and hard-working individuals. PATRICK basically robbed us and stole food from my daughter's mouth. NOT COOL. DO NOT CALL PATRICK. DO NOT HIRE PATRICK. DO NOT TRUST PATRICK.
