His craftsmanship and attention to detail exceeded our expectations, especially at such a reasonable price. From the start, he was professional and reliable--he came out quickly to assess the project, provided a clear and fair estimate, and stuck to that exact price. The work was completed promptly, and he made sure everything was cleaned up thoroughly when the job was done. Most importantly, he did exactly what he said he would do--and did it exceptionally well. We are extremely happy with the results and wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to our friends and anyone looking for high-quality masonry work.

There are numerous areas that look substandard, but the part that is most problematic is the area in which stones have completely fallen off. This is a zero-traffic area of my porch, so there is no reason stones should be falling off. Upon reaching out to inquire about the warranty, as it has only been 2 years since the work was performed, and sharing several photos of the fallen stones, I was informed that they only warranty their work for 1 year. Well, thousands of dollars and only 2 years later, I did not expect for stones to independently fall off my house. Now, I have to pay another masonry company to fix Millikan's error.

Such has led to water damage resulting in staining to the face of the brick near the bilateral upper section of the anterior windows along with evidence of cracks within the mortar joints and edges of the brick. As a result, we have experienced rain shed within our formal dining room and along with plywood of the garage interior. Accordingly, to avoid further deterioration of our home, we opted to pay an outside masonry business for the minimal necessary repairs upfront with a hope of reimbursement considering a lack of adequate follow up. Minimal repairs and corrections were performed due to an associated increase in cost. Our request was denied on behalf of Fithian Brothers Masonry; stating follow up did not exist despite calling the number listed on Google several times over the years. To include, we also have been in contact with our general contractor via email and telephone in attempt for means of correction on behalf of Fithian Brothers Masonry. Upon attempt to seek legal action, we were advised that it would simply be our word against theirs despite evidence (i.e. photos, emails and phone records). Meanwhile, we are left with a faulty life long investment.

In 92 when the housing market exploded in Kankakee County I started my own business had it for seven years. My wife owned half after my divorce I couldn't afford to buy my ex- wife half out. So we sold out. Then Rudy hired me and I hope I helped him with a few things. But he always made sure to keep me busy even though some cold winters . Rudy Bauer is a hard working man and treats his customers well. He goes the extra mile to make sure they are satisfied. So I would recommend him as FIVE STAR CONTRACTOR

The finished work was fantastic, and timely! Joe, Taylor, and Mike were professional, very kind, willing to answer questions (and be a part of the discussion for the larger project) and they always leave the place clean and in great shape when they are done. Masonry is an investment for sure, but we are glad for the great work of Force Masonry, and the value of the work is worth it. They are a great company, and we plan to use them again, when we have another masonry project.
