E.G. Masonry Inc.

We had our chimney tuckpointed to repair failing 100 year old mortar joints, as well as the concrete cap replaced to fix water intrusion due to a crack. Efrain and his team were diligent and punctual, and completed the job within one day of the two day estimate. The chimney looks almost brand new and the color match was spot on, all for a price that was very reasonable.

I found E.G. Masonry through a simple Google search while gathering quotes to have my basement fireplace completely restructured and refinished. After speaking with several contractors, Efrain stood out immediately. He made time in his busy schedule to come out right away and provided a very fair, competitive quote. Throughout the planning phase of our full basement remodel, Efrain was patient, flexible, and worked seamlessly with our timeline. The finished fireplace absolutely blew us away—I genuinely can’t believe it’s the same fireplace. It looks like something out of a completely different home. The transformation is unreal. While Efrain offered the most reasonable pricing, what really set him apart was his efficiency and the strength of his team. The work was completed quickly without sacrificing quality, which is something I haven’t experienced with most contractors. After the fireplace was completed, our flooring installer caused minor damage to the bottom mortar. Efrain didn’t hesitate—he quickly made himself available to come back out and fix it, leaving everything looking perfect again. That level of responsiveness and pride in his work is rare. I don’t say this lightly, but I would absolutely recommend E.G. Masonry to anyone. I will 100% be reaching out to them again for any future masonry work. They are the real deal—don’t waste your time with anyone else. Call Efrain. Before and after photos of the brickwork are attached.

Efrain from E&G is very nice, honest, and a hard-working contractor. He is very knowledgeable and professional. He restored most of the church's exterior walls on our building. We are very satisfied with his work. His quote was very reasonable, he was timely and did an outstanding job! We highly recommend E&G for any masonry work you may need. A lot of neighbors and members of our church has stopped to comment on the workmanship and his hard work. He went the extra mile and we're very pleased and grateful.

Efrain and EG Masonry were fantastic! They fixed my chimney, matched the brick, cleaned up everything, and did it for a great price. He did everything promised, on time, and after the job and masonry work his team cleaned the chimney and driveway with a powerwasher. They made it all look NEW. I would highly recommend EG, and would use again. (See before and after photos.)

We were referred to Efrain by our longtime carpenter, and we couldn't be more grateful. We wanted a custom stone fireplace built from scratch, including a large built-out that extended nearly 19 feet high—and Efrain delivered beyond our expectations. He was always prompt, communicated clearly, and consistently checked in to make sure we were happy with the progress. The stone we had our hearts set on was being discontinued, but Efrain went above and beyond—driving all over the Chicago area to track down enough material to bring our vision to life. The finished fireplace is stunning and has become the centerpiece of our home. We were so impressed that we brought him back to build a custom range hood for our kitchen. It turned out beautifully, and once again, his craftsmanship and attention to detail were top-notch. We can’t recommend Efrain enough!!
