    We hired Mike for a patio, fire pit, & sidewalk to our driveway. I'm just going to jump right into it. My boyfriend saw Mike working on a driveway down the street from us. It turned out beautiful! So we asked for a quote... got a few others that were roughly around the same price but decided to go with him since we like his personality the most.... omg were we WRONG! You know that old saying the customer is always right? Mike doesn't believe in that and will use cuss words to make his point. He decided to take it upon himself to preach our contract and not excavate the ground (which would result in a patio above grass level.... but then ALSO took it upon himself to dump an EXTRA 14 inches of gravel then we agreed on) YES, 18 inches of gravel ABOVE our grass line to "level" the ground! Oh, and asked my boyfriend to hide our basement window with wood from the inspector! Once we stated we were unsatisfied so far we decided to all meet up the next day to discuss what the next steps would be. Of course we didn't agree so we called a village inspector. It wasn't a surprise when he FAILED. So after that we gave him about a week to decide if he wanted to fix it. He was more than happy to fix it.... but for more money! Ha yea right.... So we decided to go with someone else. In the mean time Mike decided to sue us. Long story short, the case got continued 3 times and ended up going to TRIAL! And guess what, he LOST! The sad thing is the judge dissected the contract and explained why he didn't get any money which, if he's smart, now knows how to write a proper one in the future. Be careful signing with him. Or just go with the new guys we went with. Mike Acevedo 8475291443. Just call/text him & his crew and they will take care of you! Now I'm sure mike will respond saying otherwise and I expect nothing less. But the pictures say it all. The gravel and frame is the Mike I'm writing about. The pictures of our patio completed is the new Mike we hired after

    There was minimal clean up left to do and just some landscaping around the edge that we will complete.

    Terrible work. Not worth time, money or headache of dealing with this guy. Look elsewhere for junk removal. Rude individual with no skills.

    We got lots of quotes for our new driveway replacement. We wanted to replace the asphalt with…read moreconcrete, widen it to be three cars wide, and have the california finish (smooth outer borders). Bartlett Concrete matched the best quote we got, I liked the Rafael the owner, and I liked that they are family owned and local to Bartlett, so we decided to go with them. Rafael was flexible with the payment arrangements, and was patient and understanding through a mini-fiasco we had with our banks. For the actual new driveway: they did the work on schedule and did a beautiful job, we absolutely love it. My dad (construction/carpentry background) is extremely picky when it comes to contractors doing work, he has a very high bar whether it's himself or others doing it, and so he was here helping out and just being around literally the entire week the new driveway was being put in to make sure everything was done with a high degree of quality. Rafael and his team got my dad's seal of approval which is pretty much the best compliment a contractor can get as far as I'm concerned. Thanks so much Rafael, we really love the driveway!

    Maks came out and gave us a very reasonable estimate on rebuilding our two chimneys. He helped us…read morepick out a matching stone as one chimney was only going to be rebuilt from the roof line up so it had to compliment the bottom half. He protected our brand new roof and worked with the roofers to ensure that everything met the proper requirements for a waterproof and sound installation. I would definitely hire the Stone and Brick Masonry Group for any of my chimney and masonry needs.

    I would not hire them again. My patio is fairly new. Before they came it was sealed properly…read more After they came it fell apart after 6 mo. They'll tell you every excuse in the book, saying the patio has too much shade, poor drainage, etc. But the fact is, it was sealed and fine until they came, resealed/sanded it and then it was a disaster. Now I have to get it redone properly again. What a waste of money that was. Do not listen to the excuses they provide. They will reply here and it's 100% a lie. They would not come and redo it for me. So I will never recommend this place to anyone. Poor craftsmanship on their part. And they would not resolve it, so not a trustworthy business. Come with the excuses. Adios. https://youtu.be/e7CbCTkfPxE - view of the shoddy craftsmanship applied to my entire patio. The whole thing looks like this now and did after 6 mo of them redoing the patio. Before this, I never had problems to this degree, period. Nothing even close to this state. My entire patio has sun hitting it, there's no excuses here. There's guards along the edge to keep plants from penetrating it, always has been. They'll throw every excuse at the book while other contractors will just make it right, even if they have to redo such a poor job that did not hold up even for a year.
