First Rate
Everyone I dealt with, from receptionist to job foreman to guys on the scaffolding, was responsive, communicative and helpful. Plus North Shore worked me into a brief window before winter, which saved me all the way around. I'll be back next spring for the rest of the job.

Harry - Evanston, IL 60201
Great price, great service.
From start to finish, our experience with North Shore Brickwork and Windows was excellent. They scheduled us quickly and the workers were thorough, respectful, and responsive. It took them exactly the time they said it would, and there were no "extras" in terms of cost. Overall, a great experience and I would highly recommend.
Naeem - Chicago, IL 60626
great experience
Never having to deal with tuck pointing, I was definitely going to get a few estimates. The price was comparable with the the others i received. Knowing NS has good rating really helped with my decision along with the attentiveness from the estimator who took photos of the house, and sent an estimate very promptly. Everything was explained well. The men showed up bright and early and finished it all that day. They really worked hard, fixed some things they noticed were not right and were super clean and neat. my house is 90 years old with unique brick and mortar . You can't even tell where they mortared because the color is so spot on. SUPER HAPPY.

A&W Roofing Is awesome
James - Rolling Meadows, IL 60008
very pleased with promptness, communication, work done
Elizabeth - Chicago, IL 60614
Trustworthy
Their initial estimate was not the cheapest but also not the most expensive. I ultimately decided to go with them based on many good reviews on Home Advisor. My experience: 1) Promptly scheduled and performed service within a week of contacting them 2) Honored initial estimate even though project required more work than anticipated 3) Final result looks clean and met expectations 4) Can't comment on long-term quality, but nothing at present that raises concern 5) Would contact them again for future projects and would recommend them to a friend or neighbor

Good Service
We hired Northshort to repair parapettes, coping, and tuckpointing on our Logan Square 3 flat. Great communication and attention to detail and the work was completed in a reasonable time. Would hire again. Thanks, Northshore!
Josh - Chicago, IL 60647
Highly professional service - great responsiveness!
Found these folks on Home Advisor.com. After bad experiences with two previous Tuckpointing companies, we have found our partners to take care our our vintage building's ongoing needs. Being a larger 6 flat, Les and his associates broke down the areas needing attention from most urgent to areas we can get to later. His workers were on-site promptly, doing excellent work with clean up each day. The whole group were courteous, knowledgeable, flexible with change orders, exacting in matching 90 year old bricks, and very involved with every aspect of the job. Looking forward to having them back next summer, to begin the next phase of brick repair work. I highly recommend this organization for your Tuckpointing needs. Fortunate to have found them!
Gerald - Chicago, IL 60645

Mortar wash on a brick facade can only be reapplied or the underlying brick rebuilt. It is not recommended to cover the entire brick to mortar transitions which can eliminate the ability to address repairs on a brick by brick basis.

Painting brick will trap the moisture in and cause spalling. There are sealant and stains that can be applied instead of stand exterior paint. Ask a professional mason before painting your brick!

A common misconception is that paint can slow down or seal a deteriorating brick. Paint does not “seal” a brick but rather traps the moisture within it accelerating the deterioration.

Seeing discolored brick in your wall can mean 1 of 2 things: either there is dirt and grime running off (easily removed) or there is mildew growing inside of the brick and mortar. Mildew indicates prolonged water intrusion which should be addressed to avoid further damage and repairs. The issue resulted from open coping joints at the top of the roof. Check your roof copings every 3 years to ensure the joints and seams remain sealed and water does not enter the wall to begin the damage.
