Best masons near Burlington, IL

"Another outstanding job by Olsen. We requested and received a proposal last fall for work to be done. Proposal was easy to understand, covered all work wanted and provided on very timely basis. Early spring they delivered brick samples for our approval and began work a few days later. Work was preformed very quickly, very professionally and of the best quality. They thoroughly cleaned up each day and after completion. We strongly recommend Olsen to everyone needing masonry work. Another satisfied customer, again."

"My experience with 83 Masonry was EXCELLENT! We hired them to tuck-point and partially rebuild our two chimneys. They started the project on time and showed up everyday ahead of time. We have new roof and AC, so before they started any work, they have protected the roof and build protection canopy over the AC to make sure nothing would get damaged. Very professional, knowledgeable, punctual and safe. Not only were the chimneys fixed, they improved the look of the house. We are EXTREMELY happy with the craftsmanship and we would recommend them for any type of masonry work."

"Our project was a complicated front stair system that included nine stairs, a landing and a retaining wall. Gilberto Masonry removed a dilapidated wooden stair system and built an amazing brick and stone stairway and 4-level retaining wall with lights. The workmanship was professional and Gilberto and his crew worked with us on the entire project (making adjustments as necessary) to ensure our satisfaction of the end result. Gilberto is a man of integrity and stands by his word. We absolutely love the stairway and wall. It transformed the front of our home. Would highly recommend him and will certainly use him in the future."

Overall, they were great.  We did have to have them back not once, but twice again.  The first time was due to the fact that we found a new crack after we closed up the basement again including drywall, paint and carpeting.  The second time was due to the fact the one of their cracks leaked.  We think there is movement in the wall so we do not blame Atlas for this.  It's the house.

We would have them back again.

"5 star concrete was very professional and diligent with the projects i hired them for. I would recommend them and will be using their services again."

"The work went extremely well. The concrete is now properly raised and sloped for drainage. The gap between the slab and my front stairs is also sealed. It looks great. I highly recommend Perma-Seal."

"Very professional from start to finish. We have an older home that has partial cinder block foundation. They were able to seal the problem areas and with recent heavy rainfalls, all dry! They sent me a video prior to the job to show us exactly how the process worked. Very happy and satisfied would definitely recommend Real Seal!"

"J D Mathein was an absolute delight to work with. He was, and has been, responsive to every question and came up with a design that reflected our needs and wishes. The results are spectacular and have enhanced the look and value of our home. The crew of gardeners who prepared and installed the plantings and hardscape were also top notch. We were consulted for accuracy of placement before anything went into the ground. We installed about 80 new trees, shrubs and perennial plants as well as paving stones. J D gave us very specific care instructions and followed up with answers to questions immediately. We will continue to use Green City Gardens for any additions we make to the gardens going forward. Couldn’t be happier."

"The foundation of our house is 100+ years old and made of large stone blocks.  As such, it has developed some cracks to the point that with heavy rains, we were getting consistent seepage into our basement.  With this type of a foundation, only external waterproofing is an option.  ULB-Dry came an gave a quote that while a substantial amount of money, was a good value given the amount of work involved.  In particular, the excavation was difficult as it is in a gangway between our house and the neighbors, preventing any mechanical digging.  The entire excavation was done manually, with the dirt and sediment carried out by hand to a trailer parked in the street.  The ground was not easy to dig, as it was all clay soil.  Stoyan and the ULB-Dry team put in a LOT of work to get the foundation dug out (60 liner feet and 2-3 feet deep and wide).  This work alone was worth the money.  They then did all the waterproofing work (patching cracks, sealing, membrane, drain tile, etc.).  They were also able to accommodate a last-minute request to install foam core insulation.  The drain tile was routed to an existing sump pump.  However, it was discovered that the pit was not deep enough to accommodate the pitch of the pipe.  Stoyan and team dug out the pit to the required depth and made all the connections - a lot of additional and unexpected work.  After everything was completed, they manually carried back all the dirt and soil to backfill the excavated area. 
We have now had the new drain tile and waterproofing in place for 2 months, and have had some fair amounts of rain during this time.  Most recently, 2-3 inches of rain fell overnight and  flooded the alley behind our garage.  However, we have not had any water or seepage in the basement.  Had ULB-Dry not done the waterproofing, this would not have been the case.  All the work and cost was worth it for the peace of mind we now have.
