I like them. It was $4000 but it included some stone work. I like their work and of course I would call them again because I have a lot of stone and face brick and stuff in this building. But, they do seem to be a little high priced.
Description of Work: They pulled out some bricks and they rebuilt the wall.

A neighbor recommended Mark's Tuckpointing to me saying they had done good work for them at a reasonable price. I completely agree and was not only quite satisfied with the work performed, but thought the entire process from initial estimates to final invoicing was done professionally and very well. I had gotten estimates from 3 or 4 other firms, and Mark's was competitive with the best of them. What stood out was that their estimate was the most comprehensive without leaving room for differences of opinion or misunderstanding. I worked with Peter, a representative of the firm, during this process and thought he did a fine job in working with me on final details and getting the work started. They were able to start the job within 2 weeks of my signing the contract and completed in just under 3 days. A full-time crew of 3 headed by Casey did the actual tuckpointing which was very thorough and left me quite pleased with the workmanship and the way they handled the job. For instance, at one point the scaffolding couldn't be moved because of a neighbor's gutter being in the way, and without missing a beat, Casey improvised and was able to use a ladder on the neighbor's porch (with their permission) to create a makeshift scaffold. It took about 10 extra minutes and allowed them to get to a difficult spot. I thought they also did a thorough job in the places where "spot" tuckpointing was needed. About 50-60 new bricks were needed in areas where not only the mortar but bricks had badly deteriorated. They seemed to have addressed all of these bad spots. The crew cleaned up at the end of each day and seemed to do everything well. I really can't think of anything I would have had them do differently and would definitely recommend them to others.
Description of Work: They did complete tuckpointing on the top third of both sides of a 3 story building and spot tuckpointing in other areas on the sides and front.

They were very good. Quick work, though a bit messy--when I mentioned the mess they came out a second time and cleaned it up. After the tuckpointing my wife and I noticed some missed portions and sent photos to Mark. The guys came out a third time to fix it and then Mark did a visual inspection with us. We were having small flooding problems with our foundation before the work, and during the job the workers (with very little english) explained to me that the slate flagstones that lined our foundation were causing much of the problem. With our permission, they removed all the flagstones, mortared the seam between the bricks and the foundation, and 99% of our problem disappeared. We are looking at having some more work done by them including repairing the original gas fireplace and raising the concrete outside our back door. We will definitely work with them again.
Description of Work: Chiseled out and Tuckpointed both common brick sides of our 1920s-era bungalow in Berwyn. We elected to break up the tuckpointing needed on our house and garage, as well as the rebuilding of the wing walls on our front steps. The overall cost was estimated at $14000. We told Mark (our rep) that we needed to break it up due to cost, and they immediately sent me a new estimate broken down by item. Mark was (generally) very prompt, but was always perfectly honest. This was the only company that gave me a specific plan to repair our wing walls that didn't include complete demolition and replacement with bricks that didn't match our existing ones.

Not only did they have the best pricing out of all we got bids for, they were able to come out within about a week of signing the contract. They were very easy to work with and the work done was done in a timely matter (especially for Nov/Dec weather conditions) with good quality.

We initially had Mark's come out because several of the windows were leaking. We're now getting leaking around several other doors and the roof. We had a building inspector come out and several other tuckpointers. The other tuckpointers and building inspector immediately noticed that they used caulk all over our building. The building inspector stated you should never use caulk on a masory building and in several location pealed away the caulk with his hands and showed the masory work falling apart. Additionally, the pertpet wall was tested and it was clearly not seal coated which was within the scope. Mark's Tuckpointing caused more harm to our building by trapping the water in the masory by putting caulk all over the building. I highly recommend not using Mark's tuckpoint.

Do not use Mark's Tuckpointing. See below for details. Mark's estimate of $3,500 was the average estimate we received from several contractors. They completed the roofing work in October of 2010. Prior to completing the work we had no issues; we hired them for preventative maintenance. Less than 3 months later, our roof starting leaking. We had Mark's come back out to review the problem. They suggested to get the building seal coated. We reminded Mark's that they seal coated the building the building two years ago for over $15K. They said they couldn't figure out why our roof was leaking. I had 2 other roofers review the work. They both said it was the sloppiest work they'd ever seen. Both roofers noted a soft spot on my roof that when you stepped on it water came out. Both roofers said the water was coming from here and the roof needed to be ripped up and repair the damage under the roofing material. After Mark's came out to the review the work, they stopped returning my calls and cancelled multiple follow up appointments. When they finally came back, Mark's said they would patch the area to stop the leak. I told them they needed to repair the damage they caused. Mark's said the repair would be too expensive and they could fix the damage they caused. They haven't called me back to discuss repair options. Don't waste your time or hard earned money. They took a perfectly good roof and maid it leak and now they won't come back to fix the problem.
Description of Work: We hired Mark's Tuckpointing to do the following roofing items for our 6 flat condo building. Eliminate the pooling of water around the downspouts Patch several spots around the roof that needed preventative maintenance Paint the roof with a metallic coating, Mark's Tuckpointing said it would increase the useful life of the roof

They did an excellent job in a timely manner at a very fair price. If there was one thing I would change it would be the grout (cement) color they used when putting the bricks back in place and the sealant applied around my flashing and green house windows. The color is slightly lighter cpmpared to what was undisturbed. That said, I would highly recommend Mark's. They went far beyond my expectations.
Description of Work: Prior to installing new windows, I was advised to get much needed masonry work down around each window. I invited five companies, three from Angie's List, to take a look at the work needed to be done and to submit a bid. Mark's immediately noticed and advised I needed far more work than just masonry. The steal beams above each window opening were deteriorating, many cracks other than those around the windows were visible, and I had no weeps below any of the windows. Mark's submitted a bid to correct all these problems, plus seal my entire house when the work was completed. They removed several rows of bricks above and below each window to restore the steal beams, which they managed to do, and install weeps.

They arrived on Monday and Finished on Tuesday. The old bricks were removed carefully, so they could be reused. The morter used was a perfict color match, so you can bearly tell anything was changed. The new lintels were thicker than the old ones that were removed. Everything was cleaned up after the work was finished. This is the second time we have had work done by Mark's Tuckpointing. We picked them because of the excellent job they did on the building their office is in. The building had been emplty for years. Since the building is near our home, we watched as the repair work was done. Now it looks like a clasic Chicago yellow brick store front again. They know how to repair brick buildings without loosing the buildings original character.
Description of Work: Replaced 8 window lintels. Bricks above the windows were removed, the old rusted steal lintels were removed and replaced. Bricks were replaced and several cracks were tuchpointed.

They were amazing. They redid our two sides of our brownstone. They were quick. They make sure that the timing of their work would coincide with traffic and the neighborood, since it involves scaffolding. They are very hard working. They were very trustworthy, like the old-fashioned days. The prices are very competitive for the service.

We were pleased with all aspects of working with Mark's.
Description of Work: We had a slow leak above a set of [3] windows in our sunroom, top floor. Mark's found the solution to be less work than expected so the contract price was reduced appropriately. Replacing lintels was not needed. They tuckpointed where necessary and secured flashing on the roof.

We contacted this company to pour concrete for a new patio and to repair siding on the addition of our house. We left a message and heard back from someone that afternoon. A gentleman named Dan came out to our house a day or two later to give us an estimate. We were really impressed with his knowledge and especially his candid suggestions to what we could or should not do. He listened to our short-term and long-term goals (we plan to remodel in a few years) and gave us some good ideas. We did not use them because their cost was higher than what we wanted to spend on a temporary fix. We will, however, keep his card for when we are ready to remodel.

His price was reasonable. He came out and he was helpful. He did some extra repairs on the stuccos and didn’t charge me for that. The best thing was that I was able to hook him up with the roofer who was doing the copper work. They worked together on the job. Each one did their jobs. He took down the limes tones and then roofer had to come in. and put the copper to the limestone. They communicated well with each other. They worked together and it went well. I would use him in the future.

Their work was great. Their price was very reasonable compared to other prices I found when I was shopping around. They were punctual and great overall.
Description of Work: They removed some limestone caps on the walls of our sun porch so we could put copper underneath later. The limestone was absorbing water and creating a leak. After the other provider dealt with the copper, they put the limestone back.

I cannot say enough great things about Mirek and his crew, who I refer as artists! Mirek was by far the most thorough of the 4 estimates we got on our building. His price was completely fair. He said the work would take 4 days, and it did. His guys cleaned up our 80 year building, which has looked better. They replaced 7 lintels, ripped out decaying bricks, tuckpointed, fixed the flashing on the garage gutters, and probably additional things I am forgetting. Honestly, I keep asking friends, "Need any masonry work done? I know someone..."

Mark was recommended to our association by a neighbor. We were pleased with his estimate and the work done, as well as to the contractor's responsiveness before, during, and after the work. We were considering a tear off or a new layer, and felt Mark's advice was consistent with other contractors we interviewed. We formerly had a problem with ice on our back stairs due to a too-small gutter, but have had no issues this winter.

It was fairly easy to make an appointment. He ( Dan) arrived on time and was nice. I asked him what he thought and he said he'd get back to me later that day. Well two weeks later I still hadn't heard back. I spoke with him and he said he'd look for the estimate and e-mail it to me. That was over a week ago. I think that was very unproffessional and I certainly don't want to hire someone like that.

Was very happy with the brick work - crew always showed up on time. Professional, work went quickly. Crew cleaned up completely every day. I was missing a couple of pieces of siding on one side of back porch, and they replaced it and did a lot of caulking around some windows/door. The gutters look good and are well installed but aren't entirely properly sloped toward the downspouts (there's a drip at one corner of the house). Also, none of the crew spoke English so it was difficult to discuss any issues other than by phone. Gutter crew just showed up one Saturday morning - no advance warning. Overall, good job though, I'd use them again, especially for brick work and the glass block windows Looks great.
Description of Work: Marks did some tuckpointing and rebuilt part of a brick wall of my house. They also replaced several old basement windows with glass block and replaced all the gutters/soffit/facia.
