ELITE Chimney & Masonry

We hired Elite Chimney and Masonry for quite a lot of work on a century-old historical house in Highland Park. We highly recommend Elite Chimney and Masonry. (Elite is based in St Charles). They have lots of technical skill and do beautiful, high quality work. The house has an art-like steam bent cedar roof that has to be tip toed around. There are two river stone mason fireplaces, neither of which had been tuck pointed in a very long time. The exteriors of the chimney masonry had large cracks and were leaking through the roof around the chimneys into the attic or staining a cathedral dome ceiling. Lenny and crew tuck pointed the exterior river stone masonry from the crown to the foundation in one case, and from crown to the roof line in the other. Some of the river stones had lost “m

Lenny and his crew were great. Rebuilt and repaired the chimney and fireplace for us. Gave us a really good price!

Lenny and his team performed outstanding work on my leaning chimney. They proposed a couple of different options, were able to find replacement bricks that fairly resembled my “older style” bricks. Their quote was reasonable compared to other contractors and quickly got to work as soon as weather permitted. They also found some cracked bricks that weren’t easy to spot and efficiently replaced them.

I can't say enough good things about Elite Chimney & Masonry! I had a fairly complicated project involving two very old (1870s!) chimneys. Lenny helped me understand the issues and talked me through the various options so I could make an informed decision for my property. I found his approach to be very honest and straightforward and his pricing is very fair. I could see that Lenny and his team care about doing a good job and providing the right solution for the best outcome. Overall, very prompt and professional. I highly recommend Elite Chimney & Masonry!

I have used Elite Chimney & Masonry for five years. Lenny and team are fantastic. They provide great service and have kept my fireplace in tip top shape to use every year. Thank you! My Mom really appreciates it :-)
