Poor Communication and Shoddy Work. They elected not to fix/finish job…read more A simple outdoor stair repair - a landing and ONE step - that should have taken 2-3 days dragged on for five weeks. Communication was awful--they rarely showed up as scheduled, and I was never updated on progress or tile design choices. I explained clearly how the tiles should match the existing pattern, even noting size differences. The workers nodded, but the final layout was random and nonsensical. When I asked them to redo it, they still arrived unpredictably, leaving me unsure when--or if--the job would be completed. The grout work was uneven, with gaps that wouldn't withstand weather, and some tiles were chipped during cleanup. They even missed areas hidden under flower pots. Despite repeated requests, the office offered virtually no updates, leaving the project frustrating and chaotic. After showing them photos of bad grouping and damaged tiles, they told me they would not be returnining. This should have been an easy job, but it was handled poorly from start to finish. I cannot recommend them.

We had quite a large project that we did with Evanston Masonry. Our century-old brick needed…read moreconsiderable work, with all the mortar being ground out and redone, as well as new lintels, several rows of replaced brick (where previous homeowners had done the wrong thing, resulting in whole rows sagging and collapsing the top of the window), and even a chimney rebuild. From quote to start was more than a year (due to other constraints), and once started the project took several weeks with a lot of scheduling nuances and coordination with other things. Eric and his team did a fantastic job throughout. The crew was friendly and respectful and their work was and is impeccable. Eric was over-the-top communicative both before, during, and after the project. All little issues were resolved immediately, often going above and beyond. We were particularly impressed with how well Eric and his team worked with the older brick, which requires special care and mortar. Even *matching* old brick is quite hard because the size is different from modern brick and there aren't many companies which make it, meaning color options are quite limited. Eric did a fantastic job and I think most people would struggle to pick out the new from the old. Highly recommend for any masonry work.

We employed Mike and his crew to restore/redo our front porch in Jeff Park neighborhood in May…read more2025. Negotiated a very fair and affordable price, considering the volume of work which was required to complete the job! The very ample crew arrived right on time, worked together like well a oiled machine and were respectful of my flower garden and all plants which were well on the way, since it was mid spring. This was a Big Job and to our surprise, Mike and his crew were able to complete the large porch and re-position an extremely heavy and hand crafted wrought iron railing, which required every single man to set in place! It was a tough and fragile exercise, but they got it just right! The cleanup was spectacular and we were very pleased with the work and how beautiful it accents our front yard and the garden! Would Highly Recommend Mike and his crew to perform any and all of your concrete needs and designs!

I got a quote the same day I called Mike, and the job began the next day. In two days they had removed all the debri, and laid out the foundation. And within the week the cement was poured. I am extremely impressed with the quality of the work and the professionalism of the entire crew. Very nice people to work with, and Mike is a great communicator. Price wise, I think for this amount of work, it was also very reasonable, I highly recommend them.

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.
