Robert Reese and his company have been working on our condo building in Oak Park for a number of…read moreyears now, their work is almost finished. Our building is the largest condo building in Oak Park, and it was built not quite 100 years ago. All brick and terra cotta, so one can imagine the restoration that needed to be done. Robert Reese may just be the most knowledgeable brick guy in the U.S., and no one takes brick and stone restoration more serious than he does. Add to this his experienced crew of workers, who are also experts in the field of brick and stone restoration, not to mention extremely courteous and down right friendly, and you have the best masonry company in all of Chicagoland. Thanks to Robert Reese and his crew, our building will stand the test of time for another hundred years to come and it looks beautiful! AAA 1 Masonry and Tuckpointing is the "BEST"!

Called the guy that came to our property a few days later, said he'll finish up our quote in a few days. Another week passed and we called again, he was ghosting us. Called the office, told them we haven't heard from your rep. They informed me they would contact him right away so he could get in touch with us. Never heard anything back. I tried repeatedly to get in touch with someone for a quote! Imagine if I hired them and had to contact them about a problem. No thanks. Thanks for wasting three weeks of my time.

Overall, we're happy with the quality of our new fence. The workmanship was good, the finished…read moreproduct looks great, and we felt the pricing for the fence itself was fair. Our only concerns were with communication and project management. Our signed contract included replacing the fence as well as demolishing and removing a concrete step. A few days after the project began, we were told the concrete removal would cost extra because the step was concrete. We didn't mind paying the additional cost--we understand unexpected situations can come up--but it was frustrating that this wasn't identified and communicated during the initial estimate or before the work started. The concrete step was identified on the day work began, and he mentioned the extra charge 3 days later. Once the fence was completed, we were asked for full payment even though the contracted work had not yet been finished. We ultimately agreed to pay the remaining balance because we didn't want to go back and forth. It also seemed like multiple jobs were being worked on at the same time, which delayed completion. We were told a jackhammer needed to be rented to complete the concrete removal, but it wasn't arranged until later, adding to the delay. Overall, we're pleased with the final product and the quality of the work. I would hire Danny again because the workmanship and pricing were good. However, I would make sure the contract had more detailed terms regarding change orders, payment milestones, and project completion timelines to avoid any misunderstandings. Better communication throughout the project would have made the experience much smoother.

They demolished the steps, poured new ones along with a new walkway, and got a perfect shape. They also replaced my house's unusually deep limestone door sill. * They redid my railings, extending them to match the slightly higher layout and also repainting them so i didn't have to get all-new ones. Very friendly, professional, and a good value overall.

Star Tuckpointing is incredible! Voytek and Peter are extremely knowledgeable, whether it's a 100+ old home or newer construction. Their work from initial communication through final completion is flawless. A few examples from the past: They cleaned limestone sills beautifully, replaced old exterior bricks and tuck pointed our110 yr old home. These projects were completed quite a while ago and still after many years, it looks like it was done last week. Recently, they fixed loosened bluestone treads on rear stairs. It's perfect! Voytek and Peter take pride in everything they do. Their craftsmanship is impeccable. They are professional, honest and an absolute pleasure to work with. Highly recommend Star Tuckpointing!!

The entire project took 2 days from start to finish. David sent pictures all day on both days which was amazing to see the progress. I am attaching some before and after pictures. This was just finished 2 days ago and we are waiting for furniture to be delivered as well as plants to be planted. I am also attaching an inspiration photo of what my vision is for once I complete the furniture, plants and lighting. My vision was cozy and tranquil and so far it's on it's way. I would work with David on any other projects in the future. We had 4 companies come out, David was by far the one that explained the most, seemed to care the most and also gave a very competitive price that couldn't b beat.
