This is a long overdue review which I hate to leave but don't know what else to do. We had our both our driveway and garage floor completely replaced in May 2021. Not a cheap job by any means. All looked nice at first but within 2 years, parts of both started showing signs of cracking and spalling. My husband called them back out to see what could be done and were told they couldn't do anything except replace the whole thing again? The explanation is the weather in Chicago is the reason. By the third year, the area where the garage floor meets the concrete driveway and parts of the driveway are crumbling. I didn't expect any of this within the first few years.. and I don't see other newer driveways in my neighborhood with this issue. Something was wrong with what they used or how they mixed their product. Now, water seeps into the garage through the cracks at winter time. It's extremely upsetting and each year that goes by, I get more upset. More and more crumbling. I wish they had better options for us or could do something without charging us for a full redo. Please make this right. read more

Hynek Construction I highly recommend. From start to finish Hynek was professional and followed up all the time. Then Mario and Nick showed up on Friday to do the work on very hot day and they worked hard and did a great job, they kept everything neat and organized since the scaffolding was going to stay up for the weekend and then final touch up on Monday. They came back on Monday, installed the cap and vent and took down the scaffolding without any issues and cleaned up leaving the area clean. read more

Hynek installed our driveway in Aug/2024. After 4 months I started to notice some chipping and crumbling in the surface, within 18 months driveway was already falling apart - widespread scaling. Had to send multiple emails to finally get a response from Hynek. He took ZERO responsibility for the terrible quality of his work; he had the audacity to blame the weather, which magically only affected our driveway. This is not a serious contractor and has no respect for your time or money. read more

Used Hynek Construction for our condo building tuckpointing project. Some water was seeping above the windows and causing a leak. He brought to our attention several other places where this was starting to happen on the wall and repaired them for a reasonable cost. The work is holding up nicely years later, looks great! Thank you. read more

they did a great job on our sidewalk and front pad. It took a Few days and was done. reasonable price as well!

Excellent chimney tuckpointing job. Communicative and cost efficient. His guys tuck pointed a large chimney and about 40 sqft of brick wall all in one day. read more

They did an excellent job replacing my deteriorating limestone. Clean and professional. I highly recommend them.

Great workmanship! Professional and fair pricing. Highly recommend. Nice matching bricks used.

I would've loved to have evaluated the work from this team. However, not only did I get an inaccurate quote (suggested I replace a large amount of lintels...more lintels than there are windows) but then I had to chase him just to follow up on the quote. He texted to say he'd get me a new quote and then weeks went by without a response. That was enough red flags for me to look elsewhere. EDIT: Wow, you sure did respond quickly to the yelp review. If you were sick, you could've said that. I followed up with you via text and email, and you mentioned your vacation the first time. The second time you said you were going to be get me the quote, I responded hoping that would come true. I received no other follow up from you. I am not asking for you to be Superman, just to give me an accurate quote and communicate. read more

This is my second time hiring Hynek Construction. This time around they removed four old metal and wood frame basement windows, and replaced them with glass block windows. The installation required custom work which included grinding away concrete. The 3 person crew did an excellent job installing, mortaring, and sealing the windows. The clean up was much appreciated, and the final results are outstanding! My final thought is that I received excellent work at a fair price! read more

Hynek Construction replaced our old concrete patio and the walkway with the new ones in our home in Skokie IL. We really pleased with the result. The patio and the walkway look great. The team was very professional and neat. The price was also reasonable. read more

We contacted this company to do some tuckpointing. We needed our garage tuckpointed and some bricks replaced. They were very thorough; they examined the entire property. They found some issues that were apparent after they brought it to our attention. They came on time and were very detailed with their tasks. They were all pleasant and most of all their pricing was lower than expected. We are truly satisfied customers and will use them in the future. read more

The Hynek Construction team did a fantastic job on two chimneys on my parents' house. The brickwork was exceptional, the guys were professional, and at the end of the job, everything was cleaned up well. Would definitely call them again and recommend. read more

Good and tidy work at a reasonable price. I've used them for point tuckpointing and chimney cap rebuild and I have been very happy both times. read more

Long overdue. Had this company do some concrete work a few years back. Had an individual come to my house on a motorcycle unannounced on a Sunday while I had guests over to look at what they'd be working on the following day. Had no permit certificate to put in window while they were already working the project the following day. Messy. Even though they stated drops would be used, not a single one was in sight. They poured left over concrete/water debris in retention embankment to solidify and when I mentioned it to the owner, his response was "who told you to clean it up?" His people skills sucked and the work wasn't far from his attitude. read more

Called for wing wall rebuild. I received a quote and had the work done. Beautifully done. Great price! I'll be contacting again for additional work on my 100 yo bungalow. Work was done in one day and they left the area clean! Even placed my flowers back in their spot! Awesome job! read more

We needed a couple of small repairs and they accommodated us quickly. They did an excellent job & I will recommend them.

They did a great job tuck pointing my house. Recommended them to a family friend who needs tuck pointing work.

I had multiple estimates for chimney repair which varied in difference up to $10,000. Hynek provided me with a reasonable estimate which was in line with several others on the lower end, but the deciding factor which made me go with Hynek was the extreme level of detail which was provided to me in the estimate. I knew exactly what they were going to repair and what I was paying for, while others left me guessing. It was an easy decision. The workers were very respectful and thorough with a high quality of workmanship and when it was completed, they did a great job cleaning up the job site. I would highly recommend Hynek and would be glad to do business with them again. read more

We hired Hyneck to tuckpoint the entire side of our brick home, repairing chimney, and doing spot fixes to the rest of the brick. He responded to our query the same day, beating everyone else we contacted to the house to give an estimate. The quote was exactly what we paid. Crew was professional, efficient, worked three consecutive days, and did a fine job. We were out of town during the work--our neighbors kept a close eye and were impressed with the clean and quiet work. Definitely recommend and would use again. (My partner is a builder and can vouch for this company's good work!) read more

We hired Hynek construction to do tuckpointing and fix our chimney vents among other projects on the outside of the house. They were prompt, they did what they said they were going to do, they worked on time (it took two days but they were consecutive days so they didn't leave it half done for a long time like some companies might) cleaned everything up, were super easy to deal with all around. The quality was so good I probably won't have to use them again so you definitely should. Straightforward, reasonable pricing, dependable. What else would you want as a potential customer? I'm very happy with the services they provided! Thank you Hynek and team!!! read more

I enjoyed working with Hynek and his team of amazingly kind and nice guys. The project wasn't too big, but it was a little complicated. A few rows of bricks by the garage doors deteriorated from humidity and there was some separation between the bricks on the wall. Hynek and his team replaced failed bricks with beautiful limestone, fixed and restored cracked mortar between bricks, blended everything so well that it totally matched the original color and design, and cleaned up so well that I couldn't tell any work was done on site. Limestone eventually decided to give us some additional trouble and managed to suck in the water and slightly crack at the bottom due to cold weather. Well, this was fixed, too, with some magical masonry work. I would highly recommend Hynek's company! I still cannot believe how nice his crew was, not sure I mentioned it. What a breath of fresh air! read more

Another 5 star job from Hynek! They fixed an interior wall in our house we sold last year, and today came and fixed the house we bought! A basketball hoop had been installed above the garage and when we took it down - 2 gaps and multiple holes in the brick right in the middle of the front of the house, and now you can't tell where! We're so pleased. They also fixed numerous step cracks all around the exterior. Great work!! read more

Go ahead and get other estimates, but I guarantee if you go with Hynek, you won't regret your decision. After doing extensive research, getting quotes from several people, not hearing back from others, Hynek Construction won our business. It was a total no brainer. This is one of those reviews where I wish I could offer up more than five stars. Our white brick house from 1938 had some loose chimney brick, and we always knew it would need to be tuckpointed. Recently we lost a brick and it landed on our side, but a couple weeks ago we lost a second brick, and a portion of it landed on our neighbor's driveway. We started our search for the perfect mason to come out and save the situation before it got out of hand. We literally could not sleep thinking we could kill our beloved neighbors. We had to ask them to be careful and keep their cars parked out of the way of danger. Thankfully they are amazing and patient. My hubby was hoping we could find someone to just "stick the brick back in there" without doing a full rebuild (I knew it would need to be rebuilt). The first estimate was a verbal, some people never responded, some came in at bids that were outrageous, and we didn't choose the cheapest bid either. When Hynek came out, he showed up, told us we would have to rebuild (like all the others), gave us a quote within 24 hours, and the quote was nicely detailed at a very fair price. We hired Hynek on the spot, because we liked him even before he gave us the estimate - LOL. We paid him 50% down, and a few days later three guys promptly showed up read to start by 7am each day. They built a scaffold and were set up in no time. Since our neighbor agreed to let them use her driveway, the guys were super respectful of both her property and ours. The first day the guys had our old chimney brick removed and new chimney brick all built up by the end of the day. The second day they formed the cement chimney crown. A few days later after the cement cured, they came back, finished everything with new caps and stacks, and cleaned up the site like nothing happened (except for the new badass chimney)! An incredible job. The Hynek Construction crew was prompt, neat, respectful, friendly, and efficient. Absolutely no drama at all. We're so excited to have found Hynek, that we can't wait for the next project and the one after that. read more

We hired Hynek Construction to rebuild our porch and walk to the house. The job included replacing the brickwork siding the porch and redoing the concrete walk and steps of the porch. We were worried about the replacement bricks matching the original brick of our 1930 bungalow. But there was no need for worries - Hynek found bricks that matched! The end result was beautiful! The crews were friendly, did quality work, and cleaned up afterwards. The only downside was that communication was not always well coordinated. We would highly recommend Hynek - especially for masonry work! read more

We had some concrete work done last summer and the concrete is already cracking and crumbling in some areas. When the concrete was poured the colors were not uniform in different parts. Brick masonry turned out well, but I'd avoid concrete work with this company. read more

Hynek Construction has done a great job on our 100+ year old condo building in the Avondale neighborhood. They've done masonry, brickwork, concrete repair, & tuckpointing to our aging building. Hynek has been patient with us asking questions and obtaining quotes for budget purposes. Between 2020-21, 4/6 units turned over in the market due to some of the projects I completed as a board member. Highly recommended! read more

Needed a new concrete front pathway from stairs to city sidewalk and then gangway on one side. They were very prompt in responding to my initial request, coming out to view the project, providing an estimate and answering my questions. The estimate of when they would be able to start the work and how long the work would take was spot on. I am extremely pleased with the quality of the work, as well as the cleanup. Price was reasonable and considerably less than another estimate I got from a different company for the exact same work. I highly recommend! read more

I would like to share a wonderful experience I had with Hynek Construction. They tuckpointed and completely rebuilt my chimney. They were competitively priced AND they were the only company willing to match the existing brick coursing. Everyone else wanted to rebuild straight up. Additionally, they insisted on walking around the whole property to advise me on any other problem areas. This was incredibly helpful as I didnt even know what to look for. No one else was this thorough. As for the actual job-they were fast, considerate and left the site very clean. Hynek Construction 773-339-7326 Hynek@msn.com read more

We hired Hynek to redo our backyard patio (old wooden patio tear out, replacing with a concrete pour). His crew did a great job and the patio looks fantastic. They handled all the city stuff - permits, inspections, etc. - which made our lives a lot easier. The work done was top-notch, and the cost was more than fair. The only reason I'm leaving 4 stars instead of 5 is because of communication (or lack thereof). When we first signed and sent back the quote along with the plat of survey to get the permit from the city, we went about a month without hearing anything. Then one night at around 8:30pm he calls to tell me they'll be at our house at 7:30am the next morning to begin work. So with less than 12 hours notice, I had to go out and move all our patio furniture off the patio so they could begin work the next morning. A little more of a heads up would've been nice! Overall the work was phenomenal and Hynek was responsive from that point on, answering all my annoying questions about the project. :) A little more communication could've gone a long way, but overall a wonderful experience and would 100% recommend to others looking to have similar work done. read more

They showed up on time, gave a very detailed professional estimate / proposal. We signed - mailed the proposal back & are waiting on scheduling after they receive it. Very professional, great attention to detail & peace of mind. Others gave a simple one set price estimate with no concrete sealer mentioned, which made me question their skill level. Sincerely, Paul Agronomoff Chicago read more

We recently hired Hynek Construction to rebuild a brick patio on the second floor and replace several lentils on our historical designation home. The quality of the work was excellent and team was very professional. They provide a comprehensive proposal which clearly described the project/scope and completed the project on budget. They were able to reuse the exterior brick and match the grout coloring of the existing structure. Overall, the job was completed on time, budget, and at highest quality levels. Would highly recommend them to others. read more

Hynek was very competent, punctual and concrete. The crew that came to my house was courteous and did a fantastic job. I will certainly be back if I ever need any masonry work done. Thank you! read more

Hynek inspected the site today and was one of the five masonry, tuckpointing, flashing repair and waterproofing companies we sought evaluations and bids from. He was by far the most thorough construction person we had review the site. He took the time to review the entire site and identified what seemed to be the source of the issue and none of the other contractors took the time to get to the potential root cause of the problem. A few of them didn't even go on the roof to see for themselves what all the potential issues might be, We do await his quotes now but overall from the point of knowledgeable and thoroughness we know he is one of the best you would find out in the marketplace. read more

Hired Hynek to do some random jobs around the house, added a vent to the chimney, install two new glass block windows, and did some touch up Tuckpointing around the whole house when the crew was done it was as if they weren't even there they were clean, respectful to the neighbors and did an excellent job, definitely recommend this company read more

BE AWARE : I hired this company few months back to replace few of my rotted lintels. I should have know from the first conversation that he was hardly listening to me. After he send me a proposal and assured me if I change all the lintels and tuck point the facade where it is necessary this would solve my problem. This would end up costing me $9,250. I believed him. After his guys showed up and replaced the lintels and than tuck point the facade of the building, in the first rain two of the windows started to leak water right directly behind the new lintels and ruining the freshly done drywall and plaster. at this point for this I spent another $500 for plaster and drywall. I texted him about the leakage he is in his sarcastic way lectured me and said basically it is not his problem. He is done the work that is it. When I persisted and said if he wants the rest of his money he needs to come and take a look. Than he showed up try to convince me water must be trickling down from the third floor way on the other side of the building to the second floor middle windows right behind the lintels!! The miracle was on the way to that long path water did not damaged anything else! I insisted his guys would come with the ladder and take a look. After 15 minutes firm insisting he agreed. While I was away he said they will come on the text. I was away so I did not see what they have done. He never communicated me about this further Upon my return I assume no more water will come and hire painters paid another $800 fix the damage! However today rained hard and freshly painted window wall is ruined again. I text him to fix the problem. I got a nasty note instead of apology! I would not hire Hynek ever again on the base of my experience! He is rude and not a person stands by his work! read more

I reached out to Hynex and asked for a quote on garage tuckpointing and laying about 1000 sq ft of paths. When he came, he was extremely rude. First, we looked at the garage and he saw one corner and said "I can do a little tuckpointing up top but I won't do anything else". He didn't look at any of the spots in the garage where I told him the brick was crumbling. All he said was "I've been doing this for 25 years. I don't need to look at it to tell you what I'll do". We didn't talk about the pathways I needed done. I kindly told him that I'm not going to talk further about hiring someone who isn't going to actually look at the brick I need corrected. I will never call or recommend Hynex to anyone. In response to the owner's response below: I did not ask for a skimcoating on the garage floor. I asked him if he felt like it was needed and he said no. When I asked him about the tuckpointing, he told me that he would do some patching and that's it. When I asked him how he can know that without looking at the garage, he said "I've been doing this for 25 years. I don't need to look at it to tell you what I would do." read more
