Over the past twelve years, I've had General Masonry Construction handle several projects for me, including building a wood burning fireplace and chimney and replacing my front walk and stoop. Their work is excellent and their prices are very reasonable (their price for my fireplace and chimney was less than half of a quote I got from another contractor). I have received many compliments on the design and functioning of my fireplace. Their staff is very professional and helpful. I would recommend General Masonry Construction to anyone considering a masonry construction project. Paul L. (Northbrook) read more

We are extremely pleased with the final results, our chimney is safer and more efficient now that it has been meticulously repaired by them! 5 Stars!!! read more

Chris fixed my tuck point around my door. There was also debris on the brick that was left over from an awning that was removed. Chris restored that area and it looks very clean and there are no signs of any old awning. Will use them again. Very responsible and want to make sure you are satisfied with the work. They came back after the initial round to make some minor adjustments. Very happy customer here! read more

I'm a long time homeowner which means I have years of experience with various problems that have cropped up around the house. In this case, it was a stone-floored porch whose stairs were sinking. The foundation of the stairs needed to be replaced. Because some of the slabs on the porch itself had to be removed as part of the job, the crew discovered that the subfloor underneath was not concrete but only wood covered by a decades old deteriorating thin membrane. The foreman, Chris, (a very nice and conscientious guy) drew my attention to this, because he was quite rightly concerned that if the membrane failed, rain would leak into the basement. (He didn't know it, but the house's electrical panels were in that part of the basement!) Based on my past experiences with other types of work done on the house, it wouldn't have surprised me if he had fixed only the stairs, kept his mouth shut about the other problem, and simply replaced the stones on the porch floor. You have no idea how glad I am that he bothered to point this out to me so it could be easily and cheaply fixed as part of the job before we had what could have been real grief. Good for Chris and good for General Masonry Construction, Inc.!!! read more

I was very impressed with this company. They were able to diagnose why an interior brick wall was disintegrating and took care of the problem. They explained very thoroughly what needed to be done, and came with a large enough crew that it was done very quickly. Customer service was great too as far as the office staff. From the estimate to the day of service was very timely, the only slight delay being to wait for the snow to be off the roof. I would definitely recommend the company and look forward to using them for any future repairs I might need. read more

I recently had General Masonry Construction work on two homes in the Deerfield area. Each had issues. In one, they had to rebuild an arch on the outside of the building. On the other, in addition to maintaining and rebuilding some of the exterior brick, they maintained an attached all glass sunroom. No brick, just big windows and they fixed the small leak, and did so efficiently. I was very pleased because I was having a hard time finding a sunroom contractor who would maintain a sunroom, they all wanted to rebuild it. The work done by General Masonry was done professionally, on time, and at a reasonable rate. I highly recommend their services. read more

We had General Masonry do a large patio for us at our home. We couldn't be more happy with this firm. The workers Adam & his helper were outstanding. They were here everyday and worked extremely hard. They were very polite and always answered all out questions. Chris the owner was here at least twice a day checking on progress & quality and making sure everything was done to his high standards. Aneta whom works in the office was always very responsive on anything we needed as well. They started the project on time just like they promised us and finished on a timely basis. Good contractors are hard to come by these days and this is one group that works very hard to make sure everything is perfect. Highly recommend them. Thank you Chris & Aneta. read more

I could only highly recommend this company. I love to research before i start anything, and must to say that i was pretty confident in this Co from the very beginning, but the results far exceeded my expectations. Amazing and professional, clean, neat job/brick laying. Truly pleased with this high quality, prompt service. Thank you so much. Will be back! read more

Our first project (stone/grill) with General Masonry was a huge success. Terrific experience working with Chris and his team, who are professional, responsive and provide first-rate workmanship. Will definitely have GM back for our next project! read more

I needed to re-build an arch at my front facing wall. General Masonry Construction company provided the best estimate for me and did a good job. They appeared at the job place in time and cleaned up everything after them. I would, definitely, hire them again read more

I have used General Masonry Construction 4 times over the last several years. The work done by them is always outstanding. I had General replace the limestone ledge on my fireplace several years ago. No one else was able to figure out how to repair it with the proper support to keep it from cracking since it has a large overhang. The work they did on it is outstanding. Since then, I have used them for foundation repair as well as chimney tuck-pointing. With our harsh winters and the age of the building, it is really necessary to have a company that is honest, reliable, and does quality work! I always call General Masonry based on the past work they have done for me. read more

We have used General Masonry on 4 different ocassions - all to great results. The first and biggest project was laying a new brick path with intricate cuts in our backyard. The work was extremely delicate with detailed and curved cuts. We were thrilled with the results - and the project architect said he had not seen the quality of the work that Chris and his team achieved. Since then Chris has laid tile in the house, laid new blue stone patio and did tuck pointing on our garage. Great work, reliable and great with making suggestions on how we could improve what we originally asked. Highly recommended! read more

Used GMC for the first time to clean and tuckpoint a large interior brick wall. Tony, who cleaned and tuckpointed, took pride in his work and did a great job. The wall is clean and looks nice and fresh. Ownership is strong and got back to me quickly when I had questions and needed some adjustments. happy with the outcome. read more

I would HIGHLY recommend General Masonry Construction. Our 17-yr old ran into a neighbor's brick mailbox. Received several quotes - General Masonry was the most reasonable and completed the job very quickly!! Highly recommend!!! read more

Had to have a crack in my basement wall repaired. They did an excellent job. Price was very good. They were great on communicating with me. I highly recommend them and will use them again in the future. read more

I hired Chris * Aneta with General Masonry last November 2016 to do tuck pointing on my building. My mistake was I paid them in full before the job was completed. They did not caulk around the windows or under a downspout. I spoke to Aneta regarding what needed to be completed. She requested pictures which I sent. Since then I have tried several times to contact them and have not replied. Because of their follow up I do not recommend them. read more

The people were responsive, did excellent work and were a pleasure to work with. They took down my old chimney and built me a new one. Price was fair and they came right out when I told them I was having a pretty bad problem. Other companies were not as helpful. I would recommend them to anyone who needs masonry work and intend to use them again on other property. read more

I would highly recommend General Masonry. The price was good but the service was great! They were here to put a new cap on my chimney when they promised and did the work in a professional way. They cleaned up the area and the men were great to deal with. If you need a mason, call General Masonry. read more

i have used General Masonry for 2 projects and have been completely satisfied. They were on time, they were organized and clean and detail oriented. My first project was tuckpointing on a chicago 2 flat, the second was a porch fix. I have an additional tuckpointing project and will use General Masonry again for that. I highly recommend them. read more

GMC were every bit as professional and accurate with their work as they said they would be! We had a sizable exterior brick project for our gut rehab as well as some interior chimney work that needed to be done. They worked with me on the planning, helped me pick the best matching brick, and completed the work professionally, accurately, were very clean, and just as courteous as I would hope. They'll be doing our driveway for us next. I highly recommend using GMC! These guys are great! read more
