Rosemont (60018 zip code), is a 4000 residents’ suburb, squeezed between the O’Hare International Airport and a long strip of Cook County’s forest preserve. When you look at it on a map, you’ll notice that the majority of the land is occupied by highways, stores, restaurants, and hotels, making the village a major commercial and entertainment center in the Chicagoland area.

The Village’s story reaches back to 1857, when the Wisconsin Central Railroad crossed the land (known today as Soo Line). The following years brought German settlers / farmers who sold their produce in Chicago.
Due to geological features of the terrain, it was often flooded and locals had to deal with it for decades, until Donald Stephens, the first village president (1956), begun investing into melioration system. The area was also incorporated around the same time, since none of the surrounding suburbs showed interest in annexation of Rosemont’s land, and has been governed by Stephens family since then.
The small residential portion of Rosemont is a gated community, with its access restricted to locals only. This move was decided by the residents in 1995.

I dealt with three people there, including the owner, and everyone was pleasant, professional and responsive. I recommend them without reservation, and would definitely work with them again.

We had to reconstruct our brick and wrought iron fence after the garbage truck relocated it to the ground. It wasn't a huge project and many of the masonry companies we called wouldn't even come and give an estimate because "it wasn't worth it". We found Edmar on yelp and the experience was awesome from start to finish.
When I called to schedule an estimate, Ed came to my house within 48 hours and arrived at exactly the time he said he would arrive. He thoroughly inspected the damage and found other damage that other masons had completely missed. We were provided a written estimate on the spot. When I called Ed to give the go ahead a few days later, he was able to get our job done that week. Once again, he arrived with his crew at exactly the time he had provided. The job was done perfectly within one day.
Unfortunately, it is hard to find honest and trustworthy companies in construction. Edmar Corp. breaks every stereotype. Quality work and excellent service!! If you need masonry work, don't even both to call around - Just call Edmar. read lessCassie M.

Edmar Corporation was the lowest $ with the highest rating in work... A+ by the BBB. Fair price. Great work. What more could I ask? Having been given the run around by many contractors over the years, it's such a wonderful thing to have this kind of experience and have that good "homeowner feeling" when a job is done right. They even decided to start taking credit cards, which made it possible to get this job done now. My brick foundation looks great and I have peace of mind. read less Rick B.

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. read less

I’ve owned buildings in the city for a while now and I’m telling you there’s no one more professional and detailed than these guys. I’ve had them rebuild firewalls, fix decorative stones, repair damaged bricks and I’ve always been 100% satisfied. Most recently I hired them to powerwash and tuckpoint one of my condos and I couldn’t be happier with the results. It actually looks like a brand new building even though it’s over 80 years old. The owner of the company Ed Marciszewski is a really straight forward guy and won’t waste your time. He’s been in the business for a long time and knows everything there is to know about masonry and building repair in the Chicagoland area. I trust Edmar with all my repairs and will definitely continue to use them in the future. read less- Jonathan M.We just had work completed on our 7 unit building and the team did a fantastic job.

In order to attain inside look of the kitchen we wanted, we needed to brick some windows in and maybe move the door and also repair the chimney.
I called a few companies on yelp and in discussing quote and scope of work, Edmar came out ahead, the owner met with my husband, he showed up very prepared with his ladder and binoculos to take a close look at the chimey and he had very great ideas as to which windows he will suggest we brick in and what to do with the door, he gave us a lot to think about in a good way, he also gave us the quote on site, who does that, it was fabulous, since we had previously talked to other companies, we felt good enough to sign the contract and have them start work immediately.
He suggested replacing more than just the first few layers of the chimney and pointed out that the old ones will crumble soon underneath the new one. He moved our back door from off the kitchen to off the family room which we like so much better because we have more cabinet space now and he used some of the brick from the new opening to patch the old opening. He also tried his best to match the old brick, he did a pretty good job, so much that you wouldnt really know it from the outside unless it was pointed out.
His guys were in and out in a jiffy. point is, although he wasn't the cheapest, he was the most thoughtful and we felt his job was quality without a doubt.
He also did some crack repairs on the outside of our property, he removed the bricks and relayed them with morter, patching everything. The only thing was that there are some morter stains on a few bricks in that one area where they repaired the cracks that my husband is not happy about, and he point it out every day now. Eitherway, I will still give them 5 stars. read lessFrank M.Peter and his crew did a fantastic job with replacing our worn chimney.

I hired them to come and redo the siding, soffits, gutters, and downspouts on the addition of my 1927 Mediterranean-inspired brick Tudor in Highland Park.
The workers were incredibly polite and cleaned up after themselves every day. They greeted me in the morning and said goodbye at the end of the day (with confirmation of next step/part of work plan). The work as far as we can tell is impeccable. The calking around the vertical seams and lengths of hardi board were very well done and even. I’m in the midst of a backyard renovation. Edmar Corp. made sure to check with the deck guys about some questions they had that might impact their job.
The people in the office were really quick to respond to my emails and any questions. I’m also a good communicator, so I don’t usually have issues with this. Who knows if the good communication requires a good client.
The work ended up better than I expected. It was one of the few times wit my very old, brick home where I felt like the work actually was worth maybe more than what I paid. Every single thing didn’t go 100% there’s always room for improvement, but in terms of these types of companies I give them an A+

He was VERY professional and you could tell he has years of experience under his tool belt, and knew exactly what I wanted. He got back to me within the same day and scheduled an appointment for the next day.
*Considering that some companies and contractors didn't have the professinalism or decency to call me back or wouldn't show up to our meeting, we were already off to a great start.
Then here comes the best part - compared to the other estimates/bids I got, Edmar's was the most straight forward and cost efficient as opposed to the competition. Not only that, but I felt at ease choosing them given how long they've been in the business. And even at a decent price, they did some 5-star quality work, I was very impressed.
The guys who did the work were all professional and they left the work site spotless each day. Very satisfied with their work.

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).

I rarely write reviews unless I am really impressed. City inspectors came and identified issues with the tuck-pointing and window lintels so I did some calling around to get some estimates. Ed showed up right on time for the appointment which was much appreciated. Also I made a point of not saying anything about what the inspectors had said to see what he would see. Ed pointed our word for word what the inspectors had seen. He took the time to explain to me exactly why one lintel would need to be replace and not another. He also showed me where bricks would need to be replaced, and where not. Finally he showed me where the tuck-pointing would need to be completely done and where it could be touched up. Most importantly, my building is red brick, and need a special mixture strength, Ed was on point. The windows which are the most difficult part on the work were completed in two days, and a third day to finish the tuck-pointing. The guys work like a well-oiled machine, the work fast and the building looks brand new. I cannot express how happy I am with the experience and the completed work. I will be calling them in the future for other jobs and will gladly refer them to my friends, family, and neighbors. read less Bill C.

Sometimes it feels like tradesmen are not very interested in taking our business. However, Ed made me feel like a valued customer. Because we wanted to do some foundation planting before it got too cold, Ed scheduled us only about 10 days after we signed the deal. They did a terrific job for a better price than the other quotes I got. They even did some extra work at no charge to remove some paint off the brick where a gutter used to hang. A couple of neighbors stopped to complement us on how great the house looked. Then, my customer satisfaction got even better. We had a storm a couple days after the tuckpointing was done. The front gate post is bolted onto the front of the house and that cedar fence post snapped off. Of course they had not tuckpointed behind the fence post, so now that much lighter mortar color was exposed. So they came back at no charge within a week and tuckpointed that spot. I have never written a Yelp review before, but I want to express how pleased I am. This small house got treated like a big deal (which it is to me). read less Elizabeth S.

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! read lessElizabeth P.They replaced lintels on my 6 flat.

Thus, it was no different with me when I asked Edmar to stop a leak that had ruined a bedroom. To do so, they had to remove the capstones of a parapet in the corner of my 4-floor townhouse. It require their building a scaffold to access the area and elevating all the materials needed for the repairs. When they were done, they had installed a waterproof seal, flashing, wicking -- all that had not been there before. With new mortar and properly sloped capstones (another improvement), they were done by 4pm. It was a one-day job! I'm very pleased with the work, the results, and the price.

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

I reviewed a number of companies and eventually settled on Edmar as they were clearly the most knowledgeable and the most experienced. I've found out the hard way that it's not always best to go with the cheapest proposal...had some contractors rebuild my chimney a while back only to have the mortar crack 5 years later (!!!) Edmar was not the cheapest, but you definitely get what you pay for, and when it comes to home repair, you want the job done right.
I called to set up an appointment and Ed stopped by the next day to give me an estimate. I had some cracked bricks above my first story window and turns out the lintels needed to be replaced. Ed outlined how the job would be done and gave me an approximate amount of time it would take to complete (Turns out, he was right on target!) They replaced the lintels and rebuilt part of the wall using the same face brick as the rest of the house so it looked perfect. I cannot praise his workers enough--they were very competent, super respectful, and took the time to answer all of my questions.
I will definitely be using Edmar again in the future. If you want the job done right the first time around, Edmar is your go to! read lessJargren S.

Ed was easy to get ahold of and didn't make you feel like he rushing to get you off the phone. Scheduling was clear with Jennifer in the office, who is very nice and professional, and the on-site foreman quickly took care of the neighbor's concerns about their fence without hesitation.
The crew performed quality brick work and I look forward to using Ed and Edmar again in the near future to handle our other parapet issues, as budget allows.

I was pleased with the work that was completed. I had 4 other companies come to give me quotes on tuckpointing my house on all sides and they were the most competitive and in line with what I was looking for. My complaint is more with the communication aspect of things. Everything was good up until I sent the contract in. I had asked when they might be able to start when first sending the contract in and was told probably the next week. I heard nothing for the next week. I sent an email and asked again, being told they would let me know asap. I heard nothing for the next week and a half. I sent another email saying that if I could not find out when they would be able to come out, I would start looking for another contractor. I then heard back that it would likely be in 2-3 weeks. The next morning, people showed up outside my door. Fortunately, that ended up working out fine but there appears to be a lack of communication between people in the front office. I was called twice by people after the project was finished to find out how I wanted to pay my balance as well. So long story short, service good, communication needs some improvement. read less Aida A.Our condo association hired Edmar Corporation to do some much needed repairs on our building.

It came to our attention that there were leaks on the ceilings of the top floor apartments, and we called a number of contractors to come check out the situation. Ed fit us in for an emergency quote the next day. This was a rare find as most of the other contractors we called didn’t even bother getting back to us. After taking a look at our roof, Ed explained to us how serious the job was and how the damage came about. The firewall and the parapet wall were both in really bad shape and needed to be rebuilt. The firewall and parapet wall were both crooked and the bricks were loose. To stop the ceilings from leaking, we needed to have the roofing redone as well. Ed was very thorough with explaining how the repairs were going to be done and after comparing a few more bids, we decided that Edmar Corp was best suited to handle our repair needs. They were able to schedule a start date pretty quickly and were flexible about working on Saturday. The workers were very professional and took great caution about ensuring the safety of the surrounding buildings and set up tarps to prevent debris from getting around. They got the firewall and parapet wall up in a few days, and were even able to match the bricks of the parapet wall to the rest of the building.

For the past five days I had a crew of 5 working on my 3 story building in Chicago. I have to admit it was neglected and in a very bad shape since no work has been done on it for decades… it’s probably close to 100 years old. It’s a brick structure, with 3 chimneys that had holes in it and every time it rained my basement was flooding. There are 14 windows with steel beams that needed replacement due to heavy rust, this also involved partial rebuilding of walls above those beams. My last problem was the wall section that sticks above flat roof surface, I think they call it “parapet wall” or something, which has disintegrated almost completely and basically required full rebuilding. I just wanted to say “Thank you” for all the work that was done on my house and recommend Ed (the owner of EDMAR) to everyone looking for a good mason. read less

We needed some masonry repairs on our single family home in Lincoln Park and I called Edmar to give us a quote. Our chimney was in pretty bad shape—missing bricks and apparently a cracked concrete cap. Ed stopped by to check it out and told us that the chimney had to be rebuilt above the roofline. He counted the number of bricks needed, in addition to a new cap and replacement clay tiles. We got a great price and hired Edmar for the job. The crew that came out was very skilled and hardworking. They even tuckpointed a few areas around the house where the mortar was cracked and loose (without an extra charge). After a couple days, we had a brand new chimney and some fresh tuckpointing.

Ed came to our home and I knew by his body language and his confidence that my project was going to go smooth. I am 59 years old and have been around the block a few times and can usually tell if something isn't right about a person and their company.
I gladly signed the contract and a couple of weeks later his crew came out and did an excellent job on my home. They were all business when they came. Got right down to working immediately. No Smoking , No Bullshitting, No goofing around . Just very professional and extremely hard working. All the areas were spotless when they left. They respected my home.

The first project was to rebrick part of a doorway that had been damaged by a forklift. His price was reasonable and the work was done properly. The second was tuck pointing and water sealing an exterior wall. The price was reasonable and the work was done just as I had requested. The third project was a difficult one, it required scaffolding and high up work that was quite difficult to get to. It required rebricking. Again his price was reasonable and the work was done properly. All work was completed quickly. I had other quotes for much more money and some contractors trying to upsell me for more work that they promoted as necessary. I was satisfied with Edmar and have just given this company another project. When I find a worthy contractor I stick with him/her. Edmar is worthy.

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. read less
