"I was very impressed with Atlas. The team was prompt, hard working, and quick. I expected that digging holes for 5 piers would make quite a mess. However, they had it down to a science -- Plastic sheets to protect the ground and then cover the excavated dirt so it didn't blow around or get muddy when it rained. Noise was minimal - much less than I thought it would be. They were done in 3 days, and cleaned up so well, you could hardly tell that anything had been done."

"My husband and I had a wonderful experience with The Real Seal in July 2024. They fixed a bowing foundation and waterproofed the basement for future finishing. Their team was prompt, respectful, organized and thoroughly educated us on the drainage tile system, installation process and prevention. Thank you, Real Seal for being the flawless first step to our dream basement/family space!"

"

I highly recommend Green City Gardens for landscape design and installation. 

We needed several trees, bushes, and grasses planted.  JD came over looked at the area and presented a slideshow of our options.  He is incredibly knowledgeable and his recommendations were excellent.  He emailed me a sketch and a very thorough and detailed proposal. 

JD and his crew were hardworking and accommodating; they easily made any and all adjustments we had during the process.  He picked the highest quality trees and bushes and has an eye for what looks good.  Eric and Ziggy and the rest of the crew were super hardworking and couldn’t be a nicer bunch of guys.  I can’t say enough about the quality of work they do and how nice everyone was.

"Hardrock Inc. Francisco & His Father did an absolute great job. They went the extra mile to check border pavers we had seen in the area as well as even visit the sites which we had seen in adjacent towns to try and match the look we were trying to achieve. They worked through a rain storm during the demolition phase of the project, they didn't damage the work site in any significant manner. My driveway concrete had settle at least 6-8 inches near my garage area and in front of my stoop, Francisco said we can build up that area. In fact the original builder didn't place adequate basing so he had underestimated by 1/2 the material cost, but told me; my error and would only charge 1/2 the extra basing material needed to complete the job. They cleaned up and any small detail, like small part of sod grass was damaged, they replaced with new as well as finished work on the mailbox on a Sunday so we could be good to go before the mail showed up on Monday, because they promised. Best Contractor experience I've had, and I have used and talked to many a contractor in my day. Hardrock Inc. best concrete and asphalt paving company I have dealt with plus they gave the best price out of a dozen contractors, as well as the whole crew were polite and courteous and professional, easy to work with and very humble, why can't all contractor experiences be like this, they even refused when I tried to give them a tip because I was so pleased with the finished project, they vehemently protested, but I insisted that they treat the whole crew they said okay, only because it's for their crew!!!! Hardrock Inc., they are the model of a great contractor and business in their industry, better hire them asap if you need paving needs, these guys are going to be really busy!!!!!"

"We are totally satisfied with the professionalism, skill, work ethic and overall attention to detail provided by Hector Martinez and his extremely capable crew. This is a contractor you can trust. They completed the job timely once they had started. Prices are fair. Our emphasis was on the quality of the materials and workmanship rather than the cheapest contractor we could find, as value is important to us. We feel this concrete will endure for many years to come. We plan to hire Hector again for additional masonry projects."

"Crew scheduled to fill in three major cracks in my foundation. They filled in the first two and then determined that the third crack was much more extensive than it appeared. They suggested that the crack be filled from the outside to ensure a more permanent solution. They explained process well and gave us a couple of options. Did not feel like they were trying to sell me more work. They are coming back to repair the problem crack from the outside and seal the whole wall. The work quoted seemed to be reasonably priced."

Masonry questions, answered by experts

To protect your home from harsh IL winters, masonry work requires consistent upkeep. Start by scheduling a spring inspection to catch freeze-thaw damage early. Address necessary tuckpointing to replace degraded mortar joints. Treat any white mineral stains caused by humid summers. Apply a fresh sealant before freezing temperatures arrive in late fall. Manage your drainage to keep water away from the foundation, protecting the structure from expansive clay soils.

Helpful?

Watch out for contractors who skip pulling required city permits for structural masonry work. Avoid professionals who propose winter projects without specific cold-weather curing protocols. A reliable contractor must assess underlying drainage issues rather than just treating visible damage. For older Elgin homes, ensure the quote specifies the exact mortar type to prevent brick damage. Always demand proof of general liability insurance before allowing anyone on your property.

Helpful?

In Elgin, chimneys are highly vulnerable to ice damage and require frequent masonry work. Older unreinforced brick or stone foundations often crack due to seasonal pressure from local clay soils. Front steps and porches frequently suffer from spalling caused by freeze-thaw cycles and sidewalk salt. Retaining walls, brick veneer exteriors, and window sills also face heavy exposure and demand regular inspections to prevent severe structural deterioration over time.

Helpful?

Begin by checking if your home sits in a historic district, as this requires special material approvals. Secure all necessary structural permits through the city. Schedule your masonry work between May and October to ensure proper mortar curing temperatures in IL. Fix any grading or drainage issues first to prevent recurring water damage. Photograph existing conditions for your records and book your professional assessments early in the spring.

Helpful?

Completing prompt masonry work immediately stops winter freeze-thaw damage from escalating into severe structural failure. Repaired mortar joints block moisture from entering your basement during heavy rain. Over the long term, proactive maintenance dramatically extends the lifespan of your foundation against expanding Elgin clay soils. Sealed and intact brickwork also improves your home’s energy performance by reducing cold air drafts and preserves your property value for generations.
