Recent reviews frequently mention responsive communication, a foreman or project manager present on site, and work completed within the discussed timeframe. Customers highlight clean job sites and thorough cleanup afterward. Many note strong workmanship on tuckpointing, patios, and matching existing materials, with pricing described as fair or good value.

Good experience from the quote to the finished job. Forman was regularly on site and willing to answer any question I had. Quickly set one day and the project was finished in two with full clean up and the walls matching well with house and new lintels over the windows.

Elizabeth Prickett on General Masonry Construction, Inc

General Masonry Construction and Supply Venture in Northbrook did my limestone fireplace, at my home in Northbrook. The stone was absolutely beautiful! Aneta has the most beautiful stone choices, better than any other supplier on the Northshore- I looked at numerous stores all over. My stone came all the way from Texas, and it was worth the wait. When my fireplace arrived the workers from General Masonry installed it, and they did a great job! Payed attention to detail, ensured it was properly secured, and all the pieces were assembled with the highest level craftsmanship! I would definitely recommend this Masonry to anyone who is looking to do stone work/fireplaces. I am very happy with my fireplace and the job that was done.

Glad I went with General Masonry to tuckpoint my whole house (single story) and I would recommend them! The did a great job matching the existing mortar and cleaning up after which got really dirty with the mortar dust and needed to be power washed. It usually happens after a few days which could have been better explained but glad Chris (Project Mgr) checked up and squared it away before I even had to inquire. They do stand by their work, because about a couple weeks after I signed off I noticed crevices that were missed, so Chris came back out to tuckpoint missed spots. it's hard to see all of them especially if you don't look at the right angle and the daylight exposure. I had to tag them with blue tape to remember where they were and so Chris wouldn't miss them either when he returned to fix it.

General Masonry Construction did a great job installing porcelain tiles on our patio! It looks so beautiful and modern, we are really happy with the results! The workers were super nice and the job was done fast and for a great price! 5 stars!!! We will definitely hire them again in the future!

General Masonry did an absolutely beautiful job repairing our brick patio. They were honest and on-time. The completed job looks amazing and they did a great job cleaning up after. Highly recommend!!
