 + -1 moreWe were thrilled with the entire experience! Our phone call was answered immediately, someone came out the very next day to give us an estimate, and work began within one week (due to an opening in their schedule). They clearly communicated when they would be arriving, and were always on time. They were courteous, listened well, and even added in a few jobs that weren't on the original estimate (for the appropriate additional cost) at our request. Having dealt with two other masonry companies with our current home, the work completed on our home with Masonry Restoration Group was by far superior, and an extremely pleasant surprise! I really can't say anything bad about them - I was thrilled with the entire experience. I will definitely be calling them again in the future as other masonry issues arise!
Description of Work: We had Masonry Restoration Group Inc complete several projects for us - rebuild part of a parapet wall, rebuild section of wall on front of house, redo two cement plaster walls, replaced a glass block window, some tuck pointing in specific locations.

 + -1 moreA truly fantastic mason. Lester Wasil (owner) is extremely knowledgeable of his masonry business. He has hands on experience and clearly will not cut corners. He and his crews exhibit a significant amount of pride in craftsmanship. We have had to have the parapet walls rebuilt on our three flat, and a facebrick facade laid for our addition. Attention to every detail, every question is answered and the willingness to work with the client to meet the needs of the owner is commendable. Due to the nature of the ICF addition recently built there are significant needs for proper venting, marrying of old to new and proper support of the facade wall. EVERY detail is discussed as this owner is particular. We love the attitude of Masonry Restoration Group " Smiling in and Smiling out" Lester will not disappoint you. Workers are courteous and mindful of your property.
Description of Work: Rebuild entire parapet wall of Chicago Three flat building, rebuild and repair the chimney and front facade. Add 3 wall face brick to an addition to the building (ICF building - requires proper venting to avoid damage over time. Always be sure to review with your mason YOUR expectations of time and materials. AND.. I always feed workers soup and cookies for lunch.. Home Made makes them feel special!~ They clean up after themselves and are very courteous.

 + -1 moreUPDATE: After seeing the work done to my unit in April 2011 and learning I no longer had water coming into my unit when it rained, my condo association finally approved flashing and lintel replacement for all the units(8) and parapets. This project was done Sept/Oct 2012. None of the windows or sliding glass doors for our units had flashing when the condo building was completed in 1998. In addition, the glass block windows in our bathrooms had no lintel or flashing above them. We also re-sealed the entire building this Fall. I heard the other condo ownerswere very pleased at the professionalism of the work crew and the work done for the building. Also, Lester had his workers re-grout our front staircase when he learned the original people who put in the staircase were not returning our phone calls. There was no additional cost for this. The total cost for the association was approx $30,000. I plan to call Lester in the future if we need additional masonry work.
Description of Work: I spent several weeks in March/April 2011 having 5-6 contractors and masonry companies do water tests and give me their assessments as to the cause of the water leaks coming into mine and a neighbor's condo units when it rained. Several different assessments to the cause(s) and I received very divergent quotes. A friend of mine had great experience working with Lester and strongly recommended I contact him. He replaced my lentil and put in flashing for the parapet and my unit for about $1000 less than a quote I was given by the company I had been considering. The $800.00 cost included flashing/lintel replacement above my sliding glass door, flashing on the parapets of the roof above my sliding door, application of sealant to the facade around my sliding door and caulking everywhere that water could potentially enter my unit. It was clear to me Lester was knowledgeable about building construction. My neighbor and I had the same work done (as well as some roof work) and are very happy with the results. Lester and his workers were timely, responsive, cleaned after themselves. No more leaks in our units. We have alot of masonry work needed for the condo building next year and without a doubt I plan to call Lester.
