Edmar is the most professional construction with many skilled workers in Chicago area, as long as I know. If your priority is choosing a company you can trust, expecting the job done well without doubt, you should hire Edmar. If your priority is having done with least money, I don't think you need to call this company. There are many bad companies out there who know how to talk to you, but don't know how to work done. Especially, if you look for mason or concrete repair/rebuild, Edmar is the right place to call. My comment was from two times experiences in major repairs. -

By far the most professional and highly skilled company I've worked with.I had a chimney taken down and rebuilt from the roof line up. The most difficult part of the job was the pitch of the roof and how close my neighbors homes are next to mine, The crew skillfully put up scaffolding and took down a the damaged chimney and built a new chimney in the same day. My neighbors didn't even know they were there. Crews cleaned up afterwards and it also a pleasure working with Ed the owner in the contractual process. Top Notch Company! I will definitely use them again.. -

They rebuilt my parapet wall quickly for a reasonable price! The wall looks great. I'm very satisfied with their work and customer service!! -

We hired Edmar to rebuild our parapet on our brick multi-family house during the summer of 2020, and they did an outstanding job! The brickwork looks exceptional and I can tell they really pay attention to detail. Their proposal for the project was the most professional and detailed one we received, and if I had any questions they were very quick to respond. If we have any masonry needs in the future, we will definitely be giving Edmar a call. We also hired them to install new windows, and they did a great job with those as well - they installed them quickly and professionally. -

We hired Edmar to do tuckpointing on our entire red brick facade and touch up much needed spots around the rest of the house. Our house is from 1890 (think a typical brick Bucktown style vintage house). I got lots of quotes and Edmar was the most thorough, came highly recommended through community groups and their price was competitive.
That being said, this was not a cheap job. They quoted $10,000 so we were nervous because that's a lot of dough for us.
The guys that came out worked quickly and efficiently. Their English was limited but they assured us it was going to be great when they were done (I had a few questions during the work process).
It came out great. The facade looks brand new. The job was super pro and they cleaned up well after the project. I have no hesitations recommending Edmar and would definitely use them again. -

Edmar cooporation build a new porch for our condo association. They were very professional, kept their promises. Very quick great work friendly and professional service. We recommend to anyone is consedering building a new porch. They were reasonably priced as well. We passed the city inspection with flying colors. What a relief . -

Edmar Corporation did a great job fixing several problems with my 100 plus year old beautiful greystone. Edmar and his partner help me resolve difficult issues, and went above beyond to resolve the problems. Their price may not be the lowest, it was on par with many other quotes I received and in the end it was well worth the money spend.Ed's years of experience, integrity and diligence made working with him a pleasure. -

My building hired Edmar to do a tuck pointing project and we couldn’t be more impressed. Peter the project manager came out to our building to give an estimate, and answer all follow up questions before signing the detailed contract. Every person at Edmar responds to all calls, questions, and appointments quickly and are always on time. Once Peter walked us through the scope of work and came in with reasonable and fair pricing we signed with Edmar over four other companies we had gotten estimates from. When the work began, Edmar promptly got us the building permit, certificates of insurance and showed up on time every day. They replaced almost 500 bricks in our back stairwell, did extensive tuck pointing around the building, and major work on our chimney. The building is safer and in much better shape now! The work was done quickly, they always cleaned up after every work day, and were professional and polite. Any questions we had were answered immediately. They even came back to make sure we didn’t have any more concern areas, and did some touch ups in areas that had not been on the original scope of work. Edmar goes above and beyond to make sure their clients are happy, the work is done right, and that their pricing is fair. We will hire them again for other projects and highly recommend this company to anyone who appreciates communication, good craftsmanship, and honest pricing! -

Michael P.

Thank you for the great service. We had some tuck pointing work that needed to be done on the chimney and foundation of our home. They responded quickly to my call, fit us into their schedule and completed the work very quickly. Nice crew of workers. Clean work. Great job. -

I am a case manager who works with people with disabilities and one of my clients needed her roof repaired due to a big hole and her ceiling was starting to cave in. My client and her siblings, also with impairments, were so happy with John from Edmar and selected him right off the bat, even though his estimate was higher than the other estimate they received. Edmar wound up giving them a discount, which made the cost come down a bit, which made the client happy. Not only did John and his crew offer to fix the roof, they were able to fix other things in the home, such as putting in drywall and painting the ceiling to seal the crack, installing two new light fixtures and two smoke detectors, installing a new screen door and fixing an old garage door that would not close properly and covering some holes in the wall. We asked John if he could select/purchase the light fixture/smoke detector and factor the cost into the contract, which he was able to accommodate, which made it so much more convenient for the client, who would have needed help to do such. While the work was being done, the client kept asking John for other things that they wanted fixed, which he did even though they were not in the contract. The other things were paid for separately, but this goes to show the company's ability to accommodate people with disabilities who do not understand how these things usually work. As her case manager, I am grateful for his patience, sense of humor and treatment of them as any other individual and for not taking advantage of them, as others might have done in this situation (and have done in the past). In my opinion, he and his crew went above and beyond and the client is very happy with the work and plan to use him again in the future, as I would. -

I asked for a proposal to tuckpoint our commercial building and Peter came out and inspected it with me and answered all my questions. He advised me that the building really didn't require tuckpointing and explained what we should do and referred me to a painter who could address those issues. He was very knowledgeable and didn't try to sell me something that wouldn't resolve our issues. I really appreciated his honesty and he even contacted the painter for me who followed-up the very next day. Great service! -

Our condo association will definitely be hiring Edward and his company again this year. They completed two projects for us, some tuckpointing and brickwork on one of our garages as well as replacing our front sidewalk. Edward came out with a quote quickly, arranged for the work efficiently and under budget. I have complete confidence in his expertise and work ethic. -

We just had work completed on our 7 unit building and the team did a fantastic job. Quick efficient, and effective. They had to rebuild a parapet and completed it before the weather struck.

Also, the office was very accommodating to our situation and setup for payment arrangements.

We have a few more projects that we'd be foolish to use with anyone else. -

I was experiencing a leak through one of the front windows of my building, and worked with the Edmar team to completely rebuild the parapet walls from the window up, on the front of my 3-flat. The team was very thorough in their communications, and willingness to ensure the project was completed to my liking. The owner, Ed, was willing to communicate with me prior to the project, as well as answer questions I had during the rebuild. -

Irena S.

Great work, great price. -

Frank M.

Peter and his crew did a fantastic job with replacing our worn chimney. Peter was great with clear estimation, straight forward proposal and answering my questions. The crew arrived on time and worked throughout the day to take the old chimney down and replace it with well crafted new brick chimney. The crew really knows their trade, took great care in setting up scaffolding around trees and shrubs. They cleaned up afterwards on the roof and ground. The whole job was done in a day! -

Kevin K.

The owner, Ed, was awesome to work with. Genuinely nice guy, honest and a true professional in his craft. We had some extensive masonry work done on our condo building and Ed's crew was on time, safe and took pride in their work. The results were amazing, some of the best masonry work I've seen. Ed and his crew are real experts in masonry. -

I called for an estimate for parapet wall tuckpointing and arranged to meet Ed, the owner, at the site. Very knowledgeable, very professional man. His proposal was very thourough and the price was competitive. THe team that completed the work, Andy and Martin, were really great. THey arrived on time and their work was first rate. As a retired architect I have inspected masonry work for decades and this was among the best. Totally painless experience working with EDMAR and I would not hesitate to recommend them.

Edmar was a pleasure to work with! They answered all my questions, the price is fair, and they were professional and courteous. Highly recommended! -

Edmar Corporation Masonry do great work. They replaced and repaired my front steps, patio and porch in Bowmanville, Chicago. I am completely satisfied with their work ethic, finished product, and attention to detail.

They also removed and replaced the original wrought iron hand railing. I kept it on their recommendation as replacing it is very expensive.

The work is contingent upon the weather. What you want to hear from "the office" may be overruled by the weather, sometimes to your dismay. But the work is great and you will be happy. -

Prompt, professional in every respect. Adam and Ridek did a great job on site. Office staff is very professional and accommodating. Would not hesitate to use again. -

Edmar is honest. He told which issues were cosmetic and which were structural. He saved me $2500 over another contractor that told me everything had to be done. -

Sorin B.

Peter and the staff at Edmar were very responsive and professional. I’ll definitely call them out for my next job. I highly recommend them. -

After trying other means of getting my front concrete steps repaired, I decided to reach out Edmar Corporation Masonry. I wanted a complete tear down of my old steps and a rebuild of new steps. After getting on their schedule, they came out and started the job when promised and completed the total job as promised over 3 days. I was very, very pleased with final result and the professionalism of the company. -

Nathan B.

We hired Edmar in April of this year to do some spot tuck pointing on the front of our condo building. They were fantastic. Good work, clear communication, quick turnaround, and fairly priced. Zero complaints. We'll definitely be using them again in the future. Thank you! -

Adam N.

I had EDMAR rebuild my chimney. They did such good work I called them back to replace a rusty lintel above my windows. They are prompt and experienced. Both times they were done in a day and did exceptional work in matching historic mortar colors. -

Edmar did a great job repointing the stonework on the front of our house. We requested quotes from a few companies, and they were the only ones who even responded. They were very communicative and did a great job. When we do the other sides of our house, we'll definitely call them. -

Edmar Corporation did an outstanding masonry job on our Condominium BLDG!!!! We are very satisfied with the work!!!! Mr. ED came for the estimate and was very professional and knowledgeable as for what needed to be done to permanently address our water damage issues. We did received great proposal detailing the work scope and very fair price for what needed to be done. Mr. Ed, Dana from the office staff and Chris the job site Foreman were great in communicating the progress on our project. They were quick, professional and detailed. We will definitely recommend EDMAR for any Tuckpointing and Masonry projects you may have, especially difficult once that require true Masonry expertise.
Great Company!!!! -
