Constraction reviews in Aurora, Illinois

Beautiful work! They just painted the interior of my house and it looks beautiful!! The whole process was surprisingly easy and affordable and the quality of their work is outstanding. Plus they are really good guys. They came in, moved everything, painted, cleaned everything up, moved everything back in place and it looks amazing! I just called them for a consultation on a couple of other projects I have in mind. I'm so excited!

With 40 years of experience in buying, remodeling and building commercial and residential properties, I have come across dozens of construction companies good and bad. Fox Valley Construction is definitely one of the good guys. Steve, the owner and manager, runs great crews that are tops in their fields, and he makes sure their work is always clean and professional. And, unlike many contractors, when Steve sizes up a project and gives you a quote you won't have to worry about phony change orders jacking up the price. I would recommend Fox Valley to anyone looking for quality workmanship at a fair price.

Pathetic, Unprofessional liars. We signed a contract with Fox Valley Construction and Remodeling, *** (FVCR) on 04/08/22 for a Basement remodel (Estimate# ****). The contract included materials and labor. A couple weeks down the line, we signed an addendum to add a half bath to the basement (Estimate#****). While signing the contract, we were promised that the company has its own workers (no subcontracting) and the project would be completed within 4 weeks (2 weeks were added later to accommodate the half bath. I have adhered to all the payment schedules that were mentioned in the contract Problem 1: FVCR messed up the plumbing in the basement half bath. All the water and drainage started backing up. Despite being under warranty, FVCR refused to address the issue and left it in an unhygienic state.Problem 2: FVCR messed up the floor install. The Luxury Vinyl Flooring installed by FVCR started to come apart within weeks of installation. The corners of the floor planks were exposed posing a hazard. Kids play in the basement. FVCR had no concern if anyone would have gotten seriously injured due to their poor workmanship.Problem 3: The half bath they built was not covered with a ceiling. Imagine all the air circulating in your finished basement when someone used it. Other problems: FVCR does not honor the terms of the contract or warranty. FVCR does not have a full fledged crew to complete bigger projects like a basement remodel. They use subcontractors for this job. They do not pay these subcontractors. I had to pay a plumber $300 as FVCR had not paid him for weeks. They did not even pay the floor installer the complete amount. Multiple subcontractors for plumbing and electrical were used as they left the job half way (sometimes within 2 hours of starting) due to unavailability of materials provided and/ or non-payment. The company has not responded to my lawyer since March. STAY AWAY.

They stole $5000 from my business!!!

Relationship started out well. hey were prompt, communicative, easy to work with. But unfortunately, the Landlord required more insurance than they had and they were not able to get more. After 2 months of them "working on getting more insurance", I finally hired another GC and asked for my money back.
After that point, they started answering the phone less and less. Saying they were on job sites in MN and not able to give me a check until they got back. Or that his boss was supposed to call me to schedule a time. After 3 months of chasing after them, I have decided to give up and write it up as a loss.

STAY FAR AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY!!!!

The work that they completed overall was done well, and initially the owners were responsive and professional. However, the project was originally quoted to take 3 weeks and instead took a roughly 3 months. During the demolition part of the project a full days work consisted of 2 workers arriving around 10 am, taking an hour break for lunch around 12, and leaving around 2-3pm. I mentioned this to the owners who kept giving excuses about how they need to pick up supplies or tools and they had other jobs to do. When the holidays starting coming near I was asked if I was supposed to be hosting, and that should not have mattered given that the project was supposed to have been completed before Thanksgiving. Throughout the project my nest thermostat was cracked and my air fryer was broken, and the workers had no clue how those things happened when they were the only ones in the house at the time. They also caused my ice maker in my refrigerator to need repairs after neglecting to take proper steps before moving my refrigerator multiple time. I called a repairman they recommended to fix it and they said they would reimburse that expense. After the work was completed I was told the work had a 1 year warranty. Since the work was completed there are handles on my cabinet doors coming loose, the new doors don't sit properly in their frame and stick shut or wont open without great effort, my Nest thermostat was not reinstalled correctly which caused another expense of someone coming to fix the wiring (again said the owners said they would reimburse the cost) and the new garbage disposal installed is leaking. I have sent receipts for the repairs to the ice maker and nest, and it will be 1 year next month since the start of this project. No reimbursements have been received and though I have reached out about the things that should be fixed under their warranty I have gotten no response from the owners. Strongly considering taking this to small claims court as I have video and photo evidence of the damages and items needing repair, and have never received the reimbursement that was said in writing to be owed to me.

Masonry Doctors did an outstanding job with my 1.200 sq ft patio. It was cement and pavers. Rolando is very creative and talented. They did everything discussed and then went the extra distance. They keep their word and are 100% committed to customer satisfaction.

We just had Rolando and his crew install a natural stone veneer retaining wall and it turned out perfect. Final photos will be added in a few weeks. What I can tell you is that a lot of companies say the can do masonry and natural stone, however very few do it well. The team at Masonry Doctors are true artists. The attention to detail was there every step of the way. The pride they take in their work shows from the moment they arrive all the way through the last stone installed. I would have them back again and again. If you're looking for a team that does not only great masonry but hardscapes as well, give Rolando a call. You will be in great hands.

I can't say enough good things about Masonry Doctors. Rolando and his crew did a phenomenal job at replacing my old fence. At 300 feet of decaying fence, I figured a fence replacement was going to be quite an undertaking. In the matter of two days they took the whole old fence down, hauled it away and built the entire new one. Not only did these guys do high quality work but they went above and beyond in making sure the job was done right and with quality craftsmanship. On top of that Rolando and his team are just a genuine, hardworking, good group of guys. I highly recommend them!

Amazing job! Can’t wait until summer. Very good work and easy to work with. I will have them come back to add a patio to pool. Thank you Rolando

We recently had a chimney replaced on our 100 year old home. The Masonry Doctors were great to work with. They came to estimate the project when they said they would. They showed up on time to do the project. They sent pictures of the work as it was being done. They were very respectful of the neighbors’ property. The chimney looks better than it has in years with the bricks and brickwork matching the original. We would definitely use them again.

Rolando and crew were outstanding. On time, efficient, and quality workmanship. This is the 2nd project they have done for me. Would not hesitate to recommend Masonry Doctors for large or small projects.

As a real estate agent Rolando is my go-to expert for all chimney inspections. He’s consistently reliable and his honesty and transparency have saved my clients thousands of dollars. You can trust him to provide thorough, straightforward service every time.

They put in a new concrete back patio for me. They did a fantastic job and were great to work with.

I've had them back to replace a concrete slab for a hot tub. Again, they were fantastic to work with.

Great experience and communication with Masonry Doctors, LLC they did a great job with building my brick mailbox and had no issues! Would work with them again for future projects :)

Rolando and his team created a beautiful outdoor resort in my backyard with beautiful stone. It’s been 4 years and I still get compliments from my neighbors.

Rolando and his team did a wonderful job. We had the paver patio put in about 3 years ago. Recently there was a sag/dip developing at the edges of the patio and some paver movement in the middle. He and his team came out and not only fixed the problem but did a beautiful job correcting and enhancing it better than ever! He is always professional and courteous with a terrific "can do" attitude. We will definitely use them again!

I wanted my front stoop to be fixed. Rolando was prompt to provide estimates and proposed changes. When I decided to go ahead with the project, he responded quickly and was available to do the work the very next day. He and his team did great job fixing the stoop. Would definitely recommend him and his team.

In 2022 we hired Rolando and his team from The Masonry Doctors to completely transform our backyard. They tore down our old, tired 30-year-old deck and replaced it with a beautiful stamped concrete patio. They also removed our old wooden fence and put up a new, modern aluminum fence.

We can't say enough about Rolando and his team. They were incredibly hard-working and the quality of their work is excellent. Rolando was very responsive throughout the entire project, from the initial quote to the final inspection. He kept us updated on the progress daily and made sure everything was done to our satisfaction.

The crew was professional, courteous, and always on time. They also did a great job cleaning up after themselves each day.

If you're looking for a reliable and skilled masonry company in Kane County, I highly recommend Rolando and Masonry Doctors!

We were so satisfied with the stamped concrete patio and fence they installed that we are having The Masonry Doctors back to replace our front sidewalk and stoop. Can’t wait to have the front of our home rejuvenated as well!

Thank You, Rolando and team.

Excellent job on the brick mailbox, exceeded our expectations. Excellent price and Rolando was a professional. Highly recommended.

Rolando and his crew were wonderful very respectful to my expectations they did a wonderful job on my concrete have a few more jobs for them to do I would highly recommend them. From my past experiences with other companies I would rate Rolando and his crew tops I would recommend them to all I know who needs work done.

Rolando communicated well during the process despite numerous weather setbacks. He kept me updated and did a great job when the weather finally cooperated. This is the second concrete driveway he has installed for me at different locations. I strongly recommend Masonry Doctors!
