On 11/15/2025 Rosemary H. had this to say:
A-Above went above and beyond when doing our crumbling chimney. They went to several places to find brick to match, however there was none to be seen. We all decided to take the entire chimney down. Wayne brought samples of brick to choose from. This was going to be a huge job. The cost of the project was very reasonable. Wayne and Jason were here every morning, sometimes staying till dark. Their workmanship was perfection. They even found flaws of previous work that was done. Every layer was checked with a level. I wish I could give more stars. If you want it done right, these are your guys. I'm so happy I called them. Thank you Wayne and Jason!

I've worked with Wayne & Jason numerous times on an aged building. They have done what it takes to get the job done professionally, ethically and promptly. Very prompt when called, they always call back and give specific times and dates when will come out to assess the situation. When on the job they are very professional, know there job and willing to talk with customer. I would recommend these guys for any of your masonry needs.

This company is amazing! A section of the brick wall in the rear of my home sustained some damage. Unfortunately, there was also some internal damage to the wall of the home. I contacted the company and Wayne promptly returned my call. Wayne and his son Jason came out, assessed the damage, shored up a section of the internal wall, removed the damage cinder block and rebuilt that section. Afterwards, they removed all of the damaged outer bricks and replaced it with new brick. The wall looks far better than it did prior to the damage. Wayne and Jason provide superior craftsmanship. They're knowledgeable and took the time to detail exactly what needed to be done and answer my questions. I appreciate how they thoroughly cleaned up the worksite afterwards. I highly recommend this company.

My home needed tuckpointing to the front and porch areas. Wayne and Jasen, father and son team, did a great job repairing and filling all the gaps in the stonework. The window sill stone was buckling and was cracked after over sixty years exposure to the elements. They replaced it for a perfect match! Chuck Roseen

FAQ

What is tuckpointing and why is it important?
Tuckpointing is the process of removing deteriorated mortar joints between bricks and replacing them with new mortar to restore the strength and appearance of a masonry structure. Over time, weather, moisture, and age can cause mortar to crack and crumble, allowing water to penetrate the brickwork. Professional tuckpointing helps prevent structural damage, improves curb appeal, increases the lifespan of your masonry, and protects your property from costly repairs in the future.
How long have you been in business?
A-Above Tuckpointing & Brickwork has proudly served the Crete, IL area and surrounding communities since 1980.
How do I know if my brick home needs tuckpointing?
Several signs may indicate that your masonry requires tuckpointing. These include cracked or missing mortar joints, loose bricks, visible gaps between bricks, interior water leaks, and crumbling mortar around chimneys or walls. If you notice any of these issues, it is best to have your brickwork inspected promptly. Addressing mortar deterioration early can prevent more extensive structural repairs and preserve the integrity of your home or commercial building.
Do you provide masonry services for both residential and commercial properties?
Yes. We proudly serve homeowners, property managers, business owners, and commercial property developers throughout the area. Our team has experience handling projects of all sizes, including residential tuckpointing, commercial brick restoration, new masonry construction, chimney repairs, retaining walls, stone veneer installations, and structural masonry work. We tailor our services to meet the unique needs of each property and project.
What chimney repair services do you offer?
A-Above Tuckpointing & Brickwork provides comprehensive chimney repair services, including chimney rebuilding, mortar joint repair, brick replacement, chimney restoration, flashing repairs, and masonry reconstruction. Chimneys are constantly exposed to harsh weather conditions, making them vulnerable to deterioration. Our experienced masonry team can identify damage, recommend appropriate repairs, and restore your chimney's safety, functionality, and appearance.
Do you install glass block windows?
Yes. We offer professional glass block window installation services for homes and commercial buildings. Glass block windows provide enhanced privacy, improved security, natural light transmission, and increased energy efficiency. They are an excellent option for basements, bathrooms, garages, and other areas where additional light and privacy are desired without sacrificing durability.
