5 steps · 24 hrs to first visit

01

Call or Request Online

Reach us by phone (773-656-2107) or our contact form. We'll schedule your free on-site estimate within 24–48 hours — same day or next day for urgent issues.

Why it matters: Every week of delayed tuckpointing accelerates mortar erosion. Getting the estimate done fast — for free — costs you nothing and saves you more every season you wait.

02

Free On-Site Assessment

We come to your home, assess every visible problem — chimney, facade, joints, stoops — and explain what's urgent vs. cosmetic. No upsell, no pressure.

Why it matters: You should know exactly what you're paying for before you commit. Our assessment gives you clarity on the full scope — and the ones that can wait.

03

Written Estimate — No Surprises

You receive a written estimate with a fixed price. What we quote is what you pay — no last-minute change orders, no scope creep, no vague "it depends."

Why it matters: A written estimate is your protection. Contractors who won't put the number in writing before starting are telling you something.

04

The Work — Done Right

The same crew that estimated your job does the work — no subcontractors. Daily cleanup, daily progress, and we never cut corners to save time.

Why it matters: Most masonry failures trace back to rushed work and revolving crews. One accountable crew, doing it properly, is why our work passes inspection the first time.

05

Final Walk-Through

We walk the finished work with you before any final payment. Every punch-list item is resolved before we close out — no open items, no arguments.

Why it matters: The walk-through is your leverage — we do it with you, not after you've already paid. That's the only walk-through that counts.

Common Questions

Service Area FAQ

What cities do you serve in Chicagoland?

We serve 19 cities across four regions — the North Shore, western suburbs, DuPage County, and the City of Chicago. See the full directory on this page. If your city isn't listed, call us — we occasionally take projects in adjacent areas.

Do you charge a travel or consultation fee?

No. Every on-site estimate is completely free — no travel fee, no consultation charge, no obligation. The written estimate we give you is the only price commitment, and it doesn't change.

How soon can you come out for an estimate?

Typically within 24–48 hours of your call or online request. For urgent situations — active water infiltration, structural concerns, or an imminent sale — we prioritize same-day or next-day visits when possible.

Do you serve all Chicago neighborhoods?

Yes. We work throughout Chicago — North Side, South Side, West Side, and the lakefront. Lincoln Park, Bucktown, Logan Square, Hyde Park, Pilsen, Bridgeport — we've completed projects in every major Chicago community area.

Can you match original brick and mortar in older homes?

Yes — brick and mortar matching is one of our specialties. We sample your existing material, source the closest replacement, and calibrate mortar hardness to your brick age. This is especially critical for pre-1940 construction, where too-hard mortar causes permanent brick spalling.

Is AMS licensed in all of these areas?

Yes. Illinois masonry license #MA-104-018887 covers all Chicagoland municipalities. We carry $2.5M general liability and workers' compensation on every crew member. Proof of insurance is provided before any work begins — on every job, no exceptions.
