Hello, I wanted to take a moment to share how happy I am with the tuckpointing work your team completed. The work was very nice and completed quickly, without sacrificing quality. This was my second time using your services within the past year, and both experiences have been consistently positive across multiple projects. I appreciate the professionalism, efficiency, and craftsmanship, and I would absolutely recommend your company to others needing tuckpointing work. Thank you again for a great job. read more

Sergiy and team are some of the most trustworthy contractors we've worked with! Their tuckpointing quote was one of the best we received but we ultimately chose them based on reviews of their responsiveness and willingness to come back for any repairs. And I'm now glad to say we made the right choice. I contacted Sergiy this week about some cracks appearing and he called me within 1 minute of my message being sent. He came by in the next 2 days for repairs, which he explained was cracking due to a harsh winter/high winds. Overall we're super happy with Active Masonry and will hire them for any other work we have read more

I hired Active M & T to help us seal an unfinished window hole that the previous owner left behind. It was extremely cumbersome and bad for the overall insulation of our home. Not only was Sergiy responsive and polite, he also made sure to use the correct materials for our pre-1950s home. (Apparently there are different types of mortar! :) The quoting process was quick and easy, and my experience on the day they came to do the job was great! They were gentle with the pets that live nearby, nondisruptive, orderly (they tidied up before leaving), and extremely capable and detail-oriented with their work. I was pleasantly surprised by the time-efficiency and ease of invoice/payment. I've worked with a few contractors since we bought our first home and I can honestly say this business is a gem. I can't recommend Sergiy and his team enough. Thank you again! read more

Definitely! I'm very pleased with the work done by Sergiy and his team. They did a nice job, on a timely manner and at a very reasonable price. I would call them again. If you need tuckpointing, call them! read more

Active Masonry provided powerwashing and tuckpointing of the brick facade of my 3 flat building. Though there were a few areas that were missed after we paid, Sergiy was responsive and came back quickly to address them. read more

Serg and the team (Tony) were great. Responsive, fair price and quality work. I highly recommend Active. They efficiently repaired some masonry issues to my townhouse. read more

These guys are the best ever! On time and super friendly. I have recommended Sergiy to multiple clients of mine and have never heard a single complaint. Its difficult to find a good team that will return calls and follow up the way Sergiy does. If you need a top quality masonry or tuckpointing team look no further! Active Masonry and tuckpointing is your best bet! read more

I was searching for a masonry expert and after reading Sergiy's fantastic reviews I gave him a call. Specifically, one of his reviews stated how responsive he is and said how appropriate the name "Active Masonry" is because they truly are. I recently bought an older brick 2-flat and I am from Miami Beach, not at all familiar with this type of construction and the maintenance. I called Active Masonry because I knew I had some issues with the parapet but also needed to know if there was any leaking from the chimneys. Sergiy went out immediately and checked the property completely. Gave me 2 separate estimates for tuckpointing, sealing and chimney repairs which were both very reasonable. I accepted both proposals and even added a few things during the process with no issue. He did not try to upsell me on anything and was extremely communicative throughout the entire process. He sent me pictures and updates during the 2 days his team were working at my property. I am not living at the property and I found this very helpful and considerate. It was such a pleasure to work with someone that is so easy to deal with, provides stellar service, and very reasonable prices. I am so glad to have worked with this company. I highly recommend Sergiy and his team! read more

Active Masonry and Tuckpointing - Great communication, I don't live at the property and Sergiy sent me photos of the progress. - Masonry/Concrete Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

See all

These guys are great. Sergiy was quick to come out and quote us on our smaller job of tuckpointing and concrete work and even get it done in the cold. The work was done really efficiently and well and he even added some extra work to make sure we were happy. When one of the residents of the building stepped on the wet concrete that they put down, I asked Sergiy what I could do to fix it... didn't have to, Sergiy offered to come back and fix it for us. Great guy and company. Look forward to getting more work done by these guys. read more

Nice and friendly guy. He tuckpointed and spray sealed our split brick for around 4x less than the other quote we received. He came out next day when we needed urgent work done, and he backed up his work with a 3 year warranty. He's also trustworthy. When we called him back to tuck a few missing spots, he came within the hour to take care of the problem. Thanks! read more

Sergiy did a fantastic job repairing the front porch steps of our two-flat. He was the first to respond, the first to come out to walk me through the work to be done and I had a written estimate within hours. When I followed up to book the repair - he was here within two days. He is honest and knows what he is doing and provided a very fair price. Cleaned up everything and the steps look great. He also advised he'd be coming back out in a few weeks to provide a top coat/seal. I highly recommend this company! read more

Contacted Active Masonry, when they came out they walked me through everything I needed done with detail. They also provided me a estimate on the spot after our meeting. read more

Had some cracks and holes in the masonry around the outside of the house that needed to be patched up. He came out and took care of that. A few weeks later I noticed some places that were missed and some of the patches that were crumbling a bit. He came out, no questions asked, and fixed any of the issues. He also then sealed some cracks in the masonry around the foundation free of charge. He is also incredibly responsive and easy to work with. Highly recommend! read more

Mario and his crew were very responsive and did great work on our sidewalk and front step. No complaints at all; the project turned out beautifully. read more

Sergiy and his team did a wonderful job finding the issue and diagnosing. He gave a quote on the spot and then came out to do the work two days later. Very impressed with the responsiveness and the work done. Definitely recommend! read more

I've been reluctant to hire companies in my neighborhood to do work, because of several bad experiences we have had in recent years. However, I decided to look for a local tuckpointing company to do some work on my home. I came across Active Masonry and Tuckpointing and from the first call all the way until the end of the job, Sergiy was very professional. On the date we scheduled for him to come out and give me an estimate, he arrived a few minutes early and was very courteous the entire time. He took the time to explain to me what need it to be done and gave me a fair estimate. After we agreed on the work and price he told me he'd be at my house on Friday May 26th to start the work at 7 AM. At 6:20 AM on the start date of the project, Sergiy and his team arrived to start setting up. After working several hours I went outside to check out the progress and I was taken aback on the amazing job they did on my steps and chimney. To make things even better, they did some extra tuckpointing for me that wasn't even part of the contract. These guys really know what they are doing. Professional work, great attitudes, and very clean. My steps have not looked this nice since my wife and I purchased our home almost 30 years ago. If you're in need of masonry or tuckpointing work, I highly recommend Active Masonry and Tuckpointing Company, you will not be disappointed. read more

Edit- the team came back to clean up the excess mortar, and it looks really nice. I appreciated the follow up. That's the kind of service I like. Would use again! read more

Sergiy did a great job tuckpointing our brick wall three stories up! Following the job we Chase quickpaid him. It could not have been easier. If you need some tuckpointing on your brick, I highly suggest using Active Masonry. read more

Sergiy has been super good to me. When my chimney was leaning during roof re-do, he came out day-of and rebuilt at a very reasonable price, very quickly so the roofers could keep going. He's been back twice free of charge within hrs of me reaching out for issues during a huge rainstorm, and now most recently to clear a block with my furnace that HVAC should have caught. Efficient, straight to the point, affordable, and specifically from what I've experienced, really loyal. read more

We had some large cracks on the concrete landing of the front porch of our 100 year old house. We contacted at least 20 masonry & concrete contractors with no luck for various reasons (job too small, bad proposals, bad reviews). The stressful search continued until we called Sergiy. He came out within a few days, his suggestions made sense, price was in range & he had glowing reviews. I'm sure glad we hired him! He came right out, the work looks great & he has a great personality. He also made some suggestions as to how we can stabilize the porch better going forward. We will call him again next time we need masonry work. read more

I had a few estimates for some tuck pointing work on a parapet wall and the chimney. He got back to me the with the quickest and most competitive price for the work. He came on time, set up extremely quickly, and finished on schedule. It was plain to see that he works extremely efficiently. He also fixed a cracked step, patched up some cracking cement, and spot tuck pointed a few areas that were not a part of the original quote. All this without charging me extra. I cannot appreciate this enough. I went with Sergiy because of all the positive reviews on yelp and I hope my review is what helps someone make this decision as well, because if you do deal with him, you will realize you just found your masonry contractor for life. read more

I needed someone to clear out my chimney ASAP so we could get our hot water turned on. Sergiy came the day I called at the exact time he said he would, did the job quickly and effectively, and allowed my family to have hot water for the weekend (after we'd gone the past four days without it.) On top of that, he noticed our furnace chimney was clogged and cleared that one out as well. We're probably not having any more kids, but if we have another boy, I will suggest naming him Sergiy. read more

Our building had stone caps which were disintegrating and the lentils needed to be fixed and sealed. It is a VERY tall 3 flat on a corner. I got 3 quotes and Active Masonry was the lowest price but also the fastest to come out and meet with me and give me the quote. We were supplied a cert of insurance when asked and work was done quickly and on time. We are very very happy, building looks great and was a seamless transaction. Two thumbs up! read more

Had water coming into the basement from rain last month so I contacted Sergiy. He came out and gave me a fair quote on told me that outside needed to be sealed. He also did an inspection of other areas and fixed my cracked front steps and holes in the brick of my house. Sergiy is very friendly and makes you feel like he is a friend. So far the work has been great and I have no complaints. I will be contacting him in the spring so he can work on the chimney. read more

Very professional, knowledgeable and reliable. Came very quickly to provide and estimate on my tuck pointing and chimney repair and was very responsive during our communication. Sergi took the time to listen to my needs and went above and beyond when it came time to repair all that needed to be fixed. Would highly recommend this company and if needed, I would definitely use them again in the future! read more

Solid dude with solid work. He priced me fairly and came out and did my glass block masonry in no time. Would definitely recommend Sergiy.

These guys do great work, are honest, show up when they say they will and do the work for the quoted price. That is not easy to find these days unfortunately with contractors. I would recommend them. They repaired a cracked garage apron leading into the alley, also added some asphalt and caulking. They also did some repair work on my front steps that needed sealing, caulking and overall inspection. read more

we had sergiy and his crew take care of two somewhat minor yet necessary masonry caulking projects on our 8-unit condo building. he was fast and competitively priced. very easy to work with. read more

I had 5 estimates for some tuckpointing work on the east side of my home and the chimney. I trusted Serji and went with him. He came out and did his job!! The job took 2 hours, looks great, and I am happy. He told me what I may need next and advised what to do to keep my home looking its best in the climate of Chicago. When I need other outside work done, I will call his company!! PLEASE...do NOT go out of business! Chicago needs reliable and hard working companies:) read more

I've had Sergiy come out twice! He's SO FAST and prices are fair (at least for my two jobs). You have to wait a day for response as he is hard at work but I received his info from a friend who was also happy with his team and I have him locked jn! Highly recommend! read more
