Constraction reviews in Aurora, Illinois

My patio has been fully updated and it looks great! It has taken a while, but Rolando and the team came out multiple times the last two weeks to correct the issues from the original patio install in spring 2021.

On the first visit, they corrected the light color and tried to repair the low spots. When that didn't work well, the team went the extra mile and pulled the entire patio apart, significantly raising it and applying the proper pitch for drainage. I've done some water testing and all seems ok. The first big rains will tell the full story, but it looks like all the fixes should do the job!

I understand that the team is seasonal and gets very busy in the summer, but a warranty is a warranty. While it took far too long - 3.5 years and required too many follow ups to have the immediate issues repaired, everything now seems corrected. Stay on top of them and they will eventually work through any issues.

three stars only due to the timing and hassle needed to correct the issues.

Rolando and his team built a beautiful back patio, steps and firepit for us! They provided us with a competitive price, communicated with us from start to finish, and gave us tips and suggestions to make our space just right! We are so thankful that we found this company to partner with to build our beautiful space!

On 5/29/24, I entered into a contract with Masonry Doctors for the below services:

-Removal and Replacement of driveway with new 4000 psi concrete with fibers and mesh for reinforcement
-18 inch cut infront of garage door for both garage doors
-backyard patio extension(12ft by 19ft ) and XL grill gazebo build with footers
-front concrete walkway and concrete apron installed

Rolando was very communicative and willing to work within our budget. Required submittals were timely, the entire team was always respectful, they maintained a clean site and regularly removed trash and debris. Rolando was very responsive to our change order of adding the walkway, apron and step, which was reasonably priced, and documented. Any problems encountered along the way, were resolved without issue; Rolando was very reasonable with our review and negotiations. Some customers nick pick and complain about the little things, but you will not find that here! Nothing is ever done to perfection, but Rolando and his team worked really hard, took pride in their work and I love that this is a family business in such high demand and they continue to thrive. In the end, I found the total cost of $17,288 to be reasonable, I was happy with the work and will definitely be hiring again!

Thanks Rolando and team for your wonderful work!!!

Fantastic. Rolando and his team worked very hard in the hottest parts of summer with impecable precision. He is an expert at installing pavers, it’s truly an art he has mastered. The quality of work far exceeded my expectations. The pool installed is great quality- with Rolando continuing communication all the way through pool closing to ensure all my needs were met. Masonry doctors not only prides themselves on their work, but as well as follow ups to ensure complete satisfaction. I’m shocked to see reviews stating he doesn’t communicate or return to fix stuff because If ANYTHING wasn’t exactly how I wanted it- Masonry Doctors: Rolando and his team ensured it was corrected immediately. He cares a lot about leaving his customers happy. You are in good hands with Masonry Doctors.

Highly recommend Masonry Doctors!”

Masonry Doctors did an amazing job on our patio. From start to finish, their team was professional, organized, and very detail-oriented. The workmanship was top quality and everything was done exactly as promised. They kept the job site clean, communicated clearly throughout the project, and finished on schedule. The patio came out better than we expected and completely transformed our backyard. If you’re looking for reliable, skilled contractors, these are your guys.

I had a water leak under my front window that required siding, the window, trim, and the cultured stone to be removed. There was a hiccup when the carpenter was a no show. I had Rolando cancel him and I did all that work myself. Masonry doctors came in and did a great job installing the cultured stone under my window. Very professional work. Looks great!

Very happy with the work Masonry Doctors completed on the front brick wall of my house! Rolando and his team are very knowledgeable and easy to talk to. The brick wall was buldged and they manage to secure it in one day. I would highly recommend this company.

Couldn't be happier with the work Rolando and his team did! From the initial visit and proposal, throughout the scheduling and work completion, Rolando was quick and clear with communication and expectations. Rolando and the team were very knowledgable and experienced and were able to repair our patio that was falling apart (literally had pavers falling off the side) - back to looking brand new and most importantly safe! Highly recommend Masonry Doctors to anyone in need!

This review of Masonry Doctors is for fabulous workmanship Rolando and his team did on our family's chimney stack in Aurora, IL. What we thought would be some efficient pointing and repointing of joints became a partial rebuild once Rolando and team were on the roof & accurately assessed the 110 yrs of weathering effects on the stack. Turned into rebuilding the chimney.

Rolando quickly sent photos while still on the roof, detailing the issue, suggested a plan for correction and his team went to work carefully finishing a great piece of work. The new chimney looks great, is well built and improved with a nice cap/rain guard, added a crown and clay pipe which were gone due to age.

Excellent Team, very Knowledgeable, and competitive pricing, plenty of quality for the value.

Rolando installed our retaining wall and pool this spring. Sounds like a straight forward project but the retaining wall is almost 8' tall and our back yard backs up to woods. They did a great job, good craftsmanship, and highly responsive. We love our new backyard escape. It's amazing! Would highly recommend!

Rolando and his team did an excellent job of installing my new brick mailbox which was damaged. They found the exact match with my house brick and color to maintain the esthetic view of the home. Thank you. I would certainly recommend Masonry Doctors for the work.

Our stone mailbox column was completely destroyed after being hit by a car. (See my before and after photos)

The original was made of natural stone that matched the stone on our home, so we wanted the new mailbox to look like the original one.

Working with natural stone is not easy. You need someone with the knowledge and skill to carefully measure, cut, and create a layout that is balanced (both visually and structurally). And also, in our situation, we wanted the design to match how the existing stone looks on our house.

We are so grateful we found Rolando with Masonry Doctors. He understood how important it was to us to recreate the original look.

The finished mailbox is beautiful! It’s better than the original—honestly, you’d never know it had been completely rebuilt.

Rolando was professional, reliable, and a talented craftsman.

If you need a masonry project done right, especially one involving natural stone, I highly recommend Rolando and his team!

We had an amazing experience working with Rolando and his team on our patio and gazebo project. From start to finish, they truly went above and beyond. They didn’t just install pavers — they helped us through the entire design process.

They assisted us with selecting countertops, appliances for our outdoor kitchen, lighting, brick choices, and every detail in between. Their guidance made what could have been an overwhelming process feel smooth and organized.

The craftsmanship and attention to detail are outstanding. The patio and gazebo turned out even better than we imagined. Communication was clear throughout the project, timelines were respected, and the crew was professional and hardworking.

If you’re looking for a company that treats your project like their own and helps from beginning to end, I highly recommend them.

Nice quality

👍🏻

Guys are Great!!!!

Excellent service!!! Highly recommended!!!!

Benache does great work!

The team was great , extremely careful with what was asked. They worked on the bathroom and flooring on the living room ! Couldn’t have asked for a better result !

I scheduled a date and time with Ben for him to give me a painting estimate for my basement. He never showed and never gave an explanation despite my follow-up with him. Apparently he doesn’t view customer service as important.

He is amazing.. extremely cooperative.
Ben and his team worked on my entire house and I am so happy with his work.. highly recommended!!!
