"I had some major work done on my house this year and I went back to someone I trusted: Eddie, Manny and Mike from E&B Masonry. They did a porch project for me in 2018 and it was great. I used them again. They gave me a good price, but I also knew that they would get the job done right. They included me on each decision and checked with me through out the project. I had roofing repairs on my parapet wall where the previous owner had roofed over the limestone causing water building up. During this they found damaged bricks. They took pictures and video to show me what they needed to do. Then they did work on the outside wall where someone else I hired failed to do the tuckpointing. Finally, they installed all new concrete sidewalks from front to back and side to side. This included stairs going down to the basement. They had to pitch the concrete in creative ways and added a new drain to handle additional water. It looks fantastic. I am hiring them to do some additional jobs as well."

"I had decided on Tino and his company to complete and repair a large flagstone patio. I changed last minute to my original installer which cost me several thousand dollars I fired the company and JK and Tino and his crew cam in and corrected the problems! I canâ t say enough about this company they are amazing,professionals and knowledgeable any all aspects on stone and ,landscaping design. I am more than happy to refer and confirm their work Pam Sheldon Mettawa Il"

"They did a great job and built out a great patio for me. I enjoy it almost every day with the family."

"Atlas was the last of several companies to come and assess what was causing a crack in our family room wall and making our back door unusable because we couldn't open and close it without difficulty. We also had seepage in the basement. Other waterproofing and foundation companies had us digging up our basement and installing extra sump pumps and drain tiles. The foundation companies said we should install piers for prices ranging from $5,000 to $18,000. (We ended up hiring a plumbing company to replace a broken sewer pipe outside with a new one installed in the basement to address wall seepage, but a large wall crack remained that we needed to address.) Atlas was able to meet our hectic schedule and arrived on time to assess our problems. The engineer they sent out was the only one of the companies who listened carefully to what was happening to our house. He carefully measured the family room looking for slope. He carefully checked for other cracks in the remaining walls and ceiling in the family room to establish cracking patterns. He checked out our foundation in the family room, which is a slab over ground but also an empty space where stairs from the basement leading outdoors used to exist. He targeted that area because that's where the largest slope and cracks were located. He was able to report how much our family room was sinking after measuring the room. He said he believed because the foundation was constructed over an open space, moisture had been gathering for years and rotting the wood that was the base of the family room. I mentioned that white spots formed on the walls in winter, and he said that information most likely confirmed his theory. The engineer was at our house for about an hour. He asked for a few days to work up an estimate. We told him we were going on vacation, so he had more than two weeks to put the estimate together instead. As promised, shortly after we arrived home, the estimate arrived via email, along with drawings and a detailed explanation. The engineer returned to our home to go over everything with us, and we decided to sign a contract. Everything continued to move smoothly. Workers arrived promptly at an agreed upon date and time, and got to work immediately. They were walking the long way around to the work site, so I invited them to walk through the attached garage. They moved their materials into the garage, and when they left, they swept the garage cleaner than it was when they started. As they were about to leave, I pointed out that drywall repair was supposed to take place where the crack was in the wall. They checked the contract and acknowledged that was true and immediately went to the store to purchase the materials they needed. They apologized for the oversight and repaired the wall, again leaving the family room spotless. This work was completed before winter began, and I waited to write the review because I wanted to see if the white patches appeared on the wall again as the temperature dropped. The engineer said the white patches should not appear. So far, so good. We have had cold enough temperatures for the white patches to appear. Also, the back door works perfectly now. We also had them fill the crack in the basement wall since it had started to seep after 18 years of dormancy. They injected a product in the wall and covered the full-wall-length crack with another material. So far, nothing has leaked even during substantial rains. We feel Atlas is highly professional. The engineer is the only one who really listened to our house problems and spent time with us. We had multiple foundation and waterproofing companies come in, but Atlas was the only one who we felt wasn't trying to sell us a product over what was really necessary. Hopefully, we will not need their services again, but if we did, we would call immediately."

"When I called 3D concrete for an estimate, I was able to make an appointment immediately.  The estimate process went well:  Nick discussed everything in detail, understood what we wanted and made good recommendations.  (For instance, although others had said stamped concrete would be fine, he strongly recommended against it and instead said that brushed concrete should be used to provide the most traction in bad weather, which was our big concern.)
      Nick wrote out an estimate on the spot and provided a long list of references.  The two that I phoned gave excellent feedback.
      I had to obtain the village permit myself.  Nick said that once we had the permit, it would be several weeks before the job could begin.  But it took four weeks for me to get the permit, and work began just a few days later, which was great. During the permit obtaining process, I had to get back to Nick with a number of questions.  Whether by phone, e-mail, or snail mail, he always responded super-promptly, so I could keep things moving along.
      The men doing the work did what looked like an excellent job as we watched them.  The framing, pouring, smoothing, and brushing looked very professional.
      It took about a week between demolition and pour because of a run of rainy weather. One day, the foreman saw me sweeping sticks off the driveway with a broom after a storm, and he went and got his leafblower and blew the driveway completely clean, which was really kind and helpful.
      Part of the demolition was removal of some existing iron handrails by the original stoop.  The foreman asked what we would do for rails before the railing company could install the new permanent ones.  When I said we were going to ask someone to put up temporary wood rails, he offered to do that, and his crew put up excellent sturdy rails that were a lifesaver.  Weeks afterward, when the final railings were put in, I called Nick about removing them, which he had said he would do, and he had them removed the next day.
      We worked with the railing company that Nick recommended, Railings & Things, and they were great, too, so I really appreciated his recommendation.
      The original estimate was $6608.  We were given these additional charges:
$25 for dealing with rebar, which was found unexpectedly under the front stoop during demolition.  (It was kept in place for the new stoop.)
$1200 for relaying bricks that were removed from the driveway when the original walkway was removed.  The crew did a super-professional job on this, and it looks seamless.  However, that seemed like something we might have been informed of in advance.
      I would work with this company again in a heartbeat because of their responsiveness, professionalism, prompt work, and the excellent final result, which are well worth the additional charges that we received.

"Starting with the estimate (which was comparable to the other estimates I got), Gibran spent more time discussing exactly what I wanted and needed: the old walk was narrow, did I want it widened; squared off or rounded out where it met the garage slab; raising the back walk slightly to eliminate the extra, shallow step at each end; and most usefully, how to work around the 100 year old catalpa, that had lifted and broken the old walk, between it and the house. We ended up adding a curve to the walk, just by the tree, giving it extra space without disturbing the existing tulip bed on the other side of the walk along the house. He and his crew worked quickly and neatly, and did a very nice job. The new walks meet the city sidewalk and garage slab evenly, the curves are smooth, the tree has room, the tulip bed and ivy along the house weren’t disturbed, and now it’s much less of a pain to shovel snow than it used to be! As a bonus, landscaping was not part of the contract, but Gibran found a source of black dirt for us, and when there was a delay (while waiting for the city inspector) after the forms were in place, he and his crew spread the dirt needed to regrade the yard for us, rather than just sit around. I’m very pleased with the work they did for us, enjoyed working with Gibran and his crew, and would definitely recommend 5 Star Concrete & Construction."

"It was a wonderful experience from start to finish!  The entire front gardens of our house were overgrown and the stone wall was starting to fall apart. The back yard section was also overgrown with a mix-match of plantings and weeds.  J.D sat down with us and asked a lot of questions to determine what we were looking for. He gave us time to think things over and discuss ideas. J. D. came up with a front perennial garden that has lots of textures, colors, and different blooming times. The gardens are on either side of our front walk and not completely symmetric, and his design tied the two sides together beautifully by carrying over some plants, but also adding individual interest. The back landscape also includes wonderful textures with bird-friendly plants, trees, and a bird bath. He is extremely knowledgeable and has a passion that comes across in his choices. His team was so courteous and friendly and they left the entire yard looking better than when they started!  It was such a pleasure working with J.D. If you are interested in a unique, thoughtful design, you should definitely give him a call."

"Hardrock did a great job installing a camper pad to park our camper on next to our garage. They were very professional, cleaned up after themselves and handled all the permits. We're very pleased."

"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."
