The crew at Olsen did a fantastic job repairing the masonry on our chimney, the facade in the front of the house, and resealing masonry sill stones. There was a small issue noted a few months after the job was completed, which they resolved with no questions asked. Everyone I encountered was courteous and professional. I truly cannot give them enough superlatives for their work and customer care. We’re very pleased with our choice in Olsen.

We needed some work done on the chimneys and some spots here and there around the outside brick. The team did a fantastic job, they were communicative and friendly, the proposal was easy to understand, and I would highly recommend them for any work you might need done.

Description of Work: Replaced crumbling concrete chimney crown. Installed new chimney cap. Were able to complete the work as promised when the spring weather got drier. Gave the option of a lower price for repair instead of replacement. Very neat - they cleaned up all the waste material.

Description of Work: The old chimney cap needed to be removed and replaced. The chimney also needed tuck pointing. I called six vendors in all. One did not do the work I needed. The others either tried to convince me that I needed additional services beyond the chimney work. |Olsen came out, inspected the chimney, gave me a reasonable quote for the work to be done, arrived a few days earlier than I expected, completed the work within two working days and sent me a bill (in the exact amount of the quote) after all the work was completed. |Because I am preparing to sell the house, I had the work inspected after it was completed. The inspector was completely satisfied as am I. I will certainly use them again for brick work.

Description of Work: We contracted with Olsen to completely rebuild our chimney. I extensively researched and interviewed a number of companies. From the beginning, I was impressed with the professional inspection and comprehensive and competitive contract prepared by owner Rich. I was additionally pleased with the company's experience, reputation, and ratings. Most importantly, they delivered what they promised. The service was provided in a timely manner by a crew that was professional, polite, and tidy. I would highly recommend Olsen for masonry work for anyone in the Chicagoland area looking to have this kind of work done. How wonderful it is to have a trustworthy company that is competitive in price, excellent with its products and services, and a joy to work with.
