I…read morerequested in writing with several photos included for a quote for repairing a chimney cap and was helped immediately by an exceptional scheduler who informed me that they also do stucco repair and would I like a quote for that as well. I readily agreed since at this point everyone I contacted for the stucco did not do chimney cap repair as well. "One stop shopping" was very appealing. Mad Masonry send a crew out and forwarded me a quote. The quote was very detailed and broke out the Stucco repair separate from the chimney cap repair. The stucco repair came in at almost 5X of any other quote I received !!!! I emailed them back and said I'd like to go forward with just the chimney cap repair not the stucco. At this point, I received a phone call from the owner, Peter Ungaro, who informed me that it would now be extra to do just the chimney cap repair... I questioned him on this explaining that he was 5X any other Stucco repair and he said well it was a courtesy that he added the chimney cap repair number and they were really interested in the Stucco repair. This is patently FALSE and BAIT AND SWITCH since the initial request was for chimney cap ALONE. The owner, Peter, now claimed that he would have to put scaffolding up in order to repair the chimney. The initial request included photos so he was very very very aware that scaffolding would be necessary. It is not my fault that he is so far off the mark in terms of price to repair stucco that it would be absurd to use him for that piece of the job. He "generously" offered to send me a new quote for chimney cap repair with scaffolding. BEWARE: THIS COMPANY LIES BEFORE THEY EVEN HAVE THE JOB. I cannot imagine how difficult it would be to get them to stand behind their work when THEY DONT HONOR THEIR WRITTEN QUOTE!!! IF it were possible to give them ZERO STARS I would very readily. What is the point in providing a written quote if the BUSINESS OWNER refuses to stand by it. AVOID as it will cost you ....

They do not know how to line up a sidewalk with the lot line. I kept mentioning the need to allow space for new fence posts. I was told by the owner of MJ Cement that their company isn't concerned about fence posts, they only pour concrete. The parking pad was initially laid out in a rhombus-type shape. After an extensive argument over who was to blame, the Morres grudgingly agreed to square the layout. Construction debris left behind. Crushed gravel for drainage was never delivered. This project was a complete hassle from start to finish. I would never use again, and recommend everyone else to look elsewhere.

I asked for the leak to be stopped, but instead of addressing the actual source of the problem, the…read moresolution provided was to heavily apply caulk across my porch roof. Unfortunately, the roof is still leaking. The situation has actually become worse, as the water is now getting in behind the siding instead of just dripping from the roof. This not only fails to solve the problem but also risks causing further damage to my home's structure. I expect a proper repair that addresses the root cause of the leak--not just a cosmetic or temporary fix.

Benjamin came out and gave us a very good total quote on the roofs that also included taking away an old rooftop deck. The quote was far under the other quote that we had from another company. It included all work and labor. I was initially skeptical of the low price, but we went with them. They did a fantastic job on all of the roofs and even added a few services that were not in the quote at no additional cost. The quality seems excellent. No leaks after the first rain. Extremely hard working crew. Benjamin was honest about everything and really earned our trust. I plan to have them come out next year to work on a pergola that he said needed securing and repair (they did the securing and repairs) and will need replacement.

I recently called him when a shingle blew off my roof to examine the roof and repair the resulting "drip." What followed was nothing short of amazing. Three years ago I paid a tucking pointing company to rebuild my chimney.

They completely rebuilt the chimney for half the cost of the previously poorly performed work. Before & After photos attached.

DO NOT WORK WITH THIS COMPANY! I DO NOT RECOMMEND THEM!…read more Stay away from them if you want to save money and time. Mike first came to give me an estimate by walking around the house while I explained what needed to be done. He gave me an estimate of $10,000 and mentioned that if I wanted to fix the small roof in the front, it would be an additional $1,000. I told him I would think about it and get back to him. When he returned for a second look, he said the first chimney if nothing connects it we will close it if something connects it we will rebuild it (which he refused to rebuild it and he said if I want to rebuild it I need to pay extra $1400) and the tuck pointing under the second chimney required the chimney to be removed and rebuilt, raising the total to $14,000. Even though I received lower estimates from others, I trusted Mike and decided to go with him. We went to his car, where he wrote the proposal, but I didn't realize at the time that he left out the small roof area we had previously discussed. I signed the contract, and he told me they could start the following week. After I handed him the check, Mike suddenly said his foreman had called, and they couldn't start next week, but in three weeks instead. I was frustrated but decided it wasn't a big deal since the work was outside and wouldn't affect my tenants too much. After that day, Mike never called to give me updates. Three weeks later, I called him to ask when they would start, and he said he would call me back, but never did. I called again four hours later, and he said his foreman would call, but that didn't happen either. I called the next day, and Mike's phone went straight to voicemail. I contacted the Second City Roofing office and explained the situation. Someone there said they would get back to me, and a few hours later, Mike called saying they couldn't start that week, but would begin mid-next week. I was still patient, trying to keep things cool. When I called again the following Tuesday for an update, Mike said he would come by with his foreman to inspect the bricks needed for my place, and they would start Thursday. At this point, I had waited almost a month, so I told him if they didn't start by Wednesday, I would want my money back. They finally started on Wednesday, but Mike never inspected these bricks with his foreman as he said. When the work was done, Mike didn't offer to do a walk-through to review the job. He came to collect the final check without a ladder, so I refused to pay until he did a proper walk-through. The next day, he brought his foreman, and we did the walk-through, after which I gave him the last check. This whole experience was incredibly frustrating. The delays, poor communication, and lack of professionalism were unacceptable. I will never work with them again.
