They had done most of the tuckpointing 17 years ago. This was to repair areas that had cracked, mortar not repaired the last time and some damaged from water. They chiseled out damaged mortar and repaired areas on 3 sides of the house. And a small area inside the basement. They even moved patio furniture for me since a recent snow and quick freeze had caught all of us by surprise. And it was blocking access to one site. Small job but they did a professional job at a fair price.

I highly recommend this company. We worked with Greg, a third generation owner of the company. He was prompt with a response and estimate. The process was thoroughly explained to us and work began in a timely manner. The workers were professional, polite and began on time every day. Greg was on site often, and actually worked on our house at times. We were very pleased with the work done. Eventually we will need the same type work done on the brick garage, and I will definately use Grzebieniak and Sons again.
Description of Work: We used Grzebieniak and Sons for brick repair on our Chicago bungalow. Both tuckpointing and brick restoration/replacement were done.

Called, got a recorded message done by a child, left message and never heard from them. I don't get why a company does not even give the courtesy of calling back a potential client- there is no excuse for that.

Response from Walter Grzebieniak Building Maintenance
THE MEMBER WAS CALLED BACK ON 10/2/2008. WE ARE EXTREMELY BUSY AT THIS TIME OF YEAR, AND WE MAKE ONE RETURN PHONE CALL. WE DO NOT CALL BACK SEVERAL TIMES TO REACH THE CUSTOMER, WE ASSUME THAT THEY HAVE MOVED FORWARD. BY THE WAY THE 'CHILD' ON THE MESSAGE IS OUR DAUGHTER AND SHE IS 20 YEARS OLD AND A JUNIOR IN COLLEGE. WE ARE A FAMILY OWNED AND OPERATED BUSINESS. THAT IS THE 1ST TIME THAT WE HAVE GOTTEN A NEGATIVE REACTION TO THE MESSAGE, EVERYONE ELSE SEEMS TO LIKE IT.

Greg returned our initial call promptly (within 24 hours) and met with us within a few days. He was very friendly, extremely knowledgeable, and conducted a detailed inspection of the masonry exterior, pointing out to us the issues that needed to be addressed. A written proposal was provided during that initial visit. Upon acceptance of the proposal, a written contract was promptly received and worked commenced in less than a week. Greg and his crew were very professional, efficient, and hard-working. Quite unexpectedly, after the first day of work, Greg proposed using a colored mortar on the house front facade and left color samples on the facade for us to select from. The resulting effect in using a colored mortar was stunning and a very unexpected and pleasant surprise for us; and at no additional charge. The crew cleaned up the work areas daily and after completion, Greg returned to inspect the work with us, noting unacceptable flaws that were corrected the next day.
Description of Work: All four exterior brick walls and chimney of a 1950's raised ranch house were examined and tuckpointed as needed, with extensive work required to western and southern exposures, including a half-wall at the juncture of these two facades, where there were significant mortar losses. Bricks were replaced and/or reset as necessary.

Greg Grezebieniak and helpers were SO professional, and responsive and helpful. I really think all along our problem was with the mason and not the roofers. I would definitely hire again.

GREG WAS RECOMMENDED TO ME BY A FAMILY MEMBER AFTER HE DID AN EXCELLENT JOB ON HER HOUSE AND HES DONE AN EXCELLENT JOB ON MINE. HE COMMUNICATED WELL (REGARDING WHAT DID AND DID NOT NEED TO BE DONE ON MY HOUSE AND WHY AND WHAT IT WOULD COST) AND SENT ME A CERTIFICATE OF INSURANCE AND CONTRACT IN THE MAIL PRIOR TO DOING THE WORK. HE GAVE ME A FEW CHOICES OF MORTAR COLOR FOR THE FRONT OF THE HOUSE AND DISCUSSED THE MORTAR COLOR FOR THE SIDES OF THE HOUSE SO THAT EVERYTHING WOULD MATCH WELL. THEY WERE ON TIME EACH DAY (IT TOOK 2 DAYS), CLEANED UP AFTER THEIR WORK, ACTED VERY PROFESSIONALLY.
Description of Work: CLEANED OUT OLD LOOSE OR CRACKED MORTAR AND 100% TUCKPOINTED ON 3 SIDES OF MY BRICK BUNGALOW, INCLUDING CHIMNEY AND BRICK BALUSTERS. THEY ALSO CLEANED THE PAINT OFF OF ALL THE STONEWORK ON THE FRONT OF MY HOUSE AND INSTALLED A CONCRETE CAP ON CHIMNEY.
