2.5 Russell S. Chicago, IL
3/21/2020

The quality work completed and work site cleanliness was good (I would recommend them for quality of work) although, after work started I requested pricing for additional work and removal of work from the contract, there was difficulty of communication being three people had to confer, which took weeks then to received a incomplete answer. In the meantime the job was on hold. I am rehabbing a entire masonry home that was open to the weather and halting work. Due to the non responsiveness I was forced to hire a different masonry company to complete the work. By the time I was finally contacted the work had been completed. I requested a credit for work not completed, calculating the credit amount from there extra and contact costs. I was offered 2/3rd less what is owed, but would pay an additional 1/3 if I amended my review. I haven't amended my review. As of today March 21 this issue is still pending.

Response from Company:

Russell, please help edit this remove after we took care of your concerns.

We had a wonderful experience working with North Shore. We had water seeping in from the limestone coping of our house, and we needed a quality fix. Tim was very thorough with his investigation and brought a number of issues to our attention that other companies failed to find. He backed up his findings with pictures and pinpointed each source of water entry. We had quotes from competitors that were either too expensive or reached far beyond the scope of the work that we needed done. North Shore was upfront and honest from the start, and their prices were very reasonable. The work was done promptly, and the crew was very tidy. We highly recommend them!

Response from Company:

Lawrence, Glad we stopped the troublesome leaks. You were very easy to work for, and look forward to serving you again. -Les.

After receiving two other estimates for tuck-pointing work needed on our small (7 unit) condo building, we decided to go with North Shore. The owner of the company, Les, came out personally and provided what I felt was an honest assessment of our issues (we were experiencing increasing ceiling leaking in the top floor units). He was clear to say he would not be the least expensive nor the most expensive, and he was correct. He got us on the schedule quickly and was in constant contact on when his team would arrive as weather was an issue. His team was courteous and left the work site clean. Shortly after the work was completed we had a huge storm, and we are happy to report did not experience any leaks. We plan on working with North Shore again come spring to complete our remaining tuck-pointing projects.

Response from Company:

Christine, You rock! Thanks for opening up the door to our company. Look forward to tackling the Spring projects with you this year. That garage really needs work! - Les.

They were very competitive in price with several quotes I obtained.

Response from Company:

Ray, Thanks for working on the win-win, and allowing us to come back and make you happy. See you next year! Les.

Basically I paid $2,480/day for 3 men started working at 9AM, leaving the site by 6PM (including 30 min clean up, 45 min lunch break). I had to make sure enough work for them. If the project is unfinished, pay them to come back another day. I had different quotes from different pros. The highest price was 4,000 to complete the job. I thought it was too high, but now it would be more expensive if I want the same group to come back another day to complete the project! It is important to know how much work need to be done and the priorities. So that important work will be complete in a day (9-6 including 30 min clean up), minus 45 min lunch.

Response from Company:

Matthew, We find this to be unique with our company that we will send out a fully equipped crew, with materials to make as many repairs as possible in a full day of work. Your property fit that bill. You had defects all around the building. But as an owner, please know that masonry is a maintenance item and you should budget having a crew out every few years to extend the life of all your exterior components (Lintels, caulking, windows, roof, etc.) Look forward to serving you again. - Les.

Great craftsmanship. The entire crew was friendly and respectful of property/landscape. Work area left clean.True professional who walked me through all areas work was done on.

Thanks, Julie. Glad we were able to squeeze you in before Winter. Call anytime.

Excellent work. Clean and respectful workers. They used an automated system for payment and scheduling which is great. It was a little difficult to get a response when there were questions though. Overall a great company and would highly recommend.

Response from Company:

Leah, Thanks for the kind feedback. We need to increase our staffing as you keenly pointed out to make sure our response times get approved. A 2020 initiative. See you soon! Les

Exceeded all expectations. Outstanding attention to detail and professionalism. Understood what we wanted to achieve completely. Was able to match 55 year old bricks almost perfectly.

Response from Company:

Gordon, An honor to serve you up there in Lake Forest. Les

Response from Company:

Thanks for the positive review, Cindy. Look forward to serving you again.
