I recently hired Mark's Tuckpointing & Remodeling to do some much needed tuckpointing on my home. I needed several bricks replaced due to age and needed the area where the old electric meter was rebricked. The guys went over my house and fixed many areas where the mortar joints required filling. Peter is great to work with and will address any concerns promptly. In addition to getting my work done promptly, Mark's Tuckpointing is reasonably priced. If your home needs any tuckpointing work, don't hesitate to reach out to them. read more

I would highly recommend this company. On time , great crew of guys , great work knowledgeable got a lot of work done in one day and looks great ! read more

I used Mark's Tuckpointing to enlarge some bedroom windows (front and rear of the house). Mariusz, our project manager, was very helpful throughout the whole process, and worked to make sure we were satisfied with the work done. The work was done in a timely manner. We chose this company because they could do both the masonry work as well as installing the new windows, for a fair price. Very happy with the result (see the before and after!), would definitely use them again for other masonry work. read more

STELLAR WORK! As a former Chicago General Contractor I have seen all kinds of masonry work--most of it not good. This is not that--this was GREAT work by Mark's. I NOW rest at ease with the building I help manage. A couple of hiccups that were easy to overcome with Peter's communication, understanding, and integrity. Always remember to review the entire scope of work for a flawless job to be completed by them. read more

I hired Mark's Tuckpointing and Remodeling to redo the entire outside of my Brick 2 flat apartment building, I could not be happier with how it came out, this was a very big job that scared me, Robert who answered every question I had throughout the month this job was running was absolutely wonderful. The Onsite Crew, Henry and Chris are some of the hardest working men I have seen, Henry, I can't begin to say enough about, his attention to details with everything he did was amazing, my building came out absolutely beautiful!! read more

Great work on time at budget. What more can you ask for? Would recommend for anyone concerned about quality of work. read more

Mark's Tuckpointing was a pleasure to work with on our recent bathroom remodel. Peter, our main point of contact, was very efficient and responsive. I like working with people who maintain that high level of energy. I was also very worried about job timing since I'm pregnant and needed the job done quickly, and they made it work. We plan on using them to rebuild our chimney and do some other work too. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for help in the Chicagoland area! read more

My wife and I have used Marks Tuckpointing and Remodeling two separate times so far. They finished the most recent project two days ago, and the first was completed a few years ago. Peter is professional, thorough, and fast responding. He provides solid customer service, obvious expertise, and excellent management skills. The (4) different crews Mark's has had at our property have always been professional and skilled. Im quite impressed with their current mason Eugene, especially. I highly recommend his talent. Our brickwork looks amazing thanks to him and his helper, John. The roofing crew they sent were also obviously skilled and very professional. The workers each took the time to answer any questions I had and seemed very genuine and helpful. Its nice to have a very competent, yet competitive, General Contractor in the neighborhood. read more

TERRIBLE! DO NOT USE! After agreeing to move forward with the project the company resigned from the job the day of. Robert did not even provide a courtesy to call to discuss any technical problems or tell me why they would resign from the job. I attempted calling and emailing Robert back multiple times with no answer or response. STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY! BTW The tuck pointing job they did uptown Park Ridge is not good. Seems like a company who will provide a good price but won't back up their work or their word. From: Robert Ostasz Date: November 10, 2020 at 8:23:06 AM CST Hello. Unfortunately we are going to resign from your project due to technical difficulty. I'm sorry for it. Wish you luck. Robert read more

Stay away! They use subcontractors, my condo board was going to use them, found out that they would just farm out the job to another company and keep part of the profit. I brought this up at our meeting and put a end to our possible use of them. My recommendation, ask plenty of questions, if they cannot be answered right away and exactly, go somewhere else! read more

Mark's Tuckpointing and Remodeling was hired to rebuild the parapit wall and fix the tuckpointing on our 1906 built condo building. They did a wonderful job. The were extremely professional and efficient. I worked closely with Robert on the estimate and schedule for the project. He was very knowledgeable and quick to reply with any questions I had. They are also very cost efficient and I got 6 other quotes for this job. I would highly recommend them for tuckpointing and masonry work. We loved their work so much they are now helping renovate inside water damage from the outside leak and they just fixed some issues with our deck. Great company and people! read more

We needed work on our brick garage: tuckpointing, fireplace rebuilding, and work to reinforce and shingle our roof. Robert worked with us to make sure the job was done right - a task made difficult by the fact that we have very heavy solar thermal panels on the roof. Robert assembled a team of magicians to do a beautiful job on all aspects of the project. We will reach out to Mark's for work in the future. It was an absolute pleasure doing business. read more

We just had some stone masonry work done and they couldn't have done a better or more professional job. It was truly seamless. We had Peter come out to give a quote and arrange a time and the communication was quick and perfect. The workers were great as well. Couldn't be happier and highly recommend! read more

A friend recommended Mark's Tuckpointing when I put out a plea for help having gone through a number of contractors - all suggesting different options for my leaky roof/crappy parapet walls/scary garage situation. As a last ditch effort I had one last round of contractors come through and Dan Sen from Mark's Tuckpointing offered me the best deal and what seemed like the most reasonable solution. The did double the work that some of the contractors suggested, for what was around 2/3 of the suggested price. To my recollection, they rebuilt the entire parapet wall on both sides of my house, and part of my garage, laid a new layer of roof on the house and put down new flashing. All previous problems ceased. Had I not found Mark's Tuckpointing, I don't know what I would've done. Dan is really kind, and really patient and his workers are fast, fast, fast! I plan to use them for all future repairs and recommend them to anyone! read more

I contacted marks Tuckpointing for a quote to powerwash the entire front of our 2 story brick building. They replied stating they do not serve the far south side of Chicago. I mapquest their location to my address and it was a 40 minute drive. Either business is so good they can turn away business. Or they have something against people who live on the south side of Chicago. I just wanted to make the public aware of how this company operates. Stay away. read more

Professional, punctual, and excellent communication. Siding looks great!

Working with Mark's Tuckpointing exceeded our expectations. They were extremely easy to reach and schedule an estimate. Peter was very responsive to all my questions and concerns. Once we decided to go with them for the work we were on their schedule right away and the work was done promptly. They took care to make sure all the work was done the right way. We would definitely recommend Mark's Tuckpointing. Our brickwork looks fantastic! read more

Great work if you want to replace your five year old roof down the road and the deteriorated coping stones that were never mentioned when the roof was done. Good luck getting a call back when you are nesr the end of your warranty read more

I heartily recommend Mark's Tuckpointing & Remodeling and want to give high praise to Peter, our "go-to" project manager when working with Mark's. We've worked with Peter & hired this company three times over the past 10 years or so [tuckpointing, vine removal, parapet rebuilding, and retaining wall repair] and have always found them to do the work exactly as promised and for exactly the promised price. In fact, on more than one occasion Peter has said they'll take care of something tangential to the work at hand gratis and each time they did the extra work with the same care & attention to detail they gave to the main job. The workmen have been on time, conscientious, and good natured--despite, this summer, encountering some really high temperatures on the roof of our three-flat Victorian building. Most important, everyone concerned seems to appreciate the importance of keeping historic buildings like ours in top condition, and we appreciate the skill and care they invest in helping us do that. read more

Had them do a tuck point job for me 4 years ago. At the time I knew it was poor quality. Today I came home and the grout is falling out of place. I wouldn't hire them again as I have to now hire someone to fix this. read more

Difficult communication and missed every deadline. Pricing was on the high side but not outrageous. Ultimately I chose a contractor who was more conscientious. read more

They were not the best communicators to begin with but they did outstanding work in the end. They fixed my grandfather's stone planter and cement porch that was built in the 1950s and made it look like it was just built. The work was just incredible. Can't imagine anyone doing a better job. read more

Mark's Tuckpointing has a great staff that provides free estimates at a reasonable rate. They are willing to work within your time table.My wish is the the Condo Association sees things as I do. They did a great job! read more

They did a great job on my homes window capping as well as a commercial property repair job we hired them for. On time, reasonably priced and turned out a great finished product. read more

This local business never disappoints! They've done my roof, tuck pointing and a small siding job on the back of my house over the last 6 years. Each and every time their quote and estimate was fair. They went above and beyond job to do it right and thorough. They were on time, reliable and picked up after themselves. I'd highly recommend them and would of course use them again. read more

Excellent work! The workers who came to my home were accommodating and meticulous. Very happy with the bathroom renovation. The fact that they scheduled around when I could be off was very much appreciated. Very professional. read more

This company does wonderful work! They are true professionals. Prices you can't beat. A+

Mark's Tuckpointing has been performing work at my commercial properties in Chicago for the past few years. They've always completed our projects on time and with great detail. When I've had emergency work needed, Peter responded quickly and the work was finished much faster than any other vendors I've worked with in the past. Most companies won't even come out to look at our projects for a few weeks but Peter has always been very responsive and quick to get me a price for the work needed. read more

Just a follow up. The communication issue was taken care of. Used him for a job last week and will be using him again for some other jobs later this year. Good work as always with very fair prices. read more

I finally received a phone call back. I appreciated the honesty of Marek. I will update this rating when the project is completed.

friendly and professional. jakub was all about attention to detail. marks tuck-pointing did the front facing wall of my old brownstone building. they matched the stones to fit the design and restored my building to its original look. a lot of planning and ordering of custom stone was required. jakub's guys did emaculate work and cleaned up after everything was complete. there was a variation in color as new stones cannot be exactly like the old stones in color but they did their best to wash the building so all matched . everyone on the block was amazed at their work read more

Don't be fooled buy the low price. Robert came out to have a look (Thursday) and gave me a great price. Two days later (Saturday), one of his workers came out to have a look at the project. On Monday, one day before we were supposed to start work, he sends me an e-mail to notify me that he's increasing the price by 85%! Are you serious? You just don't run a business like that. I called and told him that. He said that's the price, or he won't be able to do the project. That's just wrong. read more

Peter was very helpful throughout the process. Him and his team did a great job tuckpointing and fixing our condo building's gutter. Their price was reasonable and they did not try to convince us to do additional work (like some contractors did). We were very happy with the quality of their work. read more

Mark's Tuckpointing replaced the roof and gutters on my neighbors' house. I was impressed with the quality of their work and hired them to do my gutters, minimal tuckpointing and replace a few bricks that were loose on my garage. They did a great job on the gutters and the bricks but there was a miscommunication issue between the person I signed the contract with and the crew with the tuckpointing work. I had to ask them to come back and tuckpoint what they missed originally. Overall I'm happy with the work they performed. read more

After waiting for responses from email and VM messages I finally hired someone else. They quoted me $2,100 on a job that is now costing $400 from a company that specializes in the type of work I need done. Poor communication, unreliable, high prices and they WASTED MY TIME! I would never recommend them to anyone! Beware! read more

\marks did a great job of repairing our roof, lintels and parapets. We also used them for tuckpointing, and a new back porch. All of the work was excellent. However, I have twice requested quotes on gutter repair for 2 separate buildings, and have basically been ignored. I guess the job isn't big enough to bother with. Maybe I'll call again when I have a big job, but for now, I am looking elsewhere read more

They said that they would call me back the next day to set up an appointment and I never heard from them despite trying to reach them again.

did a great job. high quality work. very prompt and clean.
