    Chicago Stucco Co quickly and professionally repaired a number of areas on my 100 year old home. I was extremely happy with the quality of the work and a very competitive price. I have recommended them to all my neighbors. We really need more businesses like these guys!

    Horrible customer service and very disappointed. Called to get a quote, took 3 times to call. Finally got a hold of Tom and explained what we needed done. Earliest timeline was 3-4 months from now which is fine but we wanted a quote sons we could figure out our options. Since we were having other companies come out to give us quote he decided it want's worth his time anymore and declined. I have never worked with a contractor that declines bids due to other individuals placing buds as well. Very unprofessional in my opinion and am in just awe of the customer service.

    Wow! So great to work with a group of people that do what they say, and when they say it. My 125 year old home looks like new. Can not thank you enough

    The owner's response is incorrect. He completed work he never should have completed. If a roofer was needed to address the problem I came to him with, he should have told me that and not done the job! A clear money grab.

    This is a direct quote from his email response to my inquiry to discuss a leak from a chimney cap he waterproofed: "Stucco was really never intended to be used on any horizontal surface. Chimney caps, window sills ,or parapet coping." And a second quote: "our insurance no longer allows us to work on chimneys."

    He completed other stucco work as part of a bigger project and refuses to give me an itemized breakdown of the cost for the (unhelpful) work done on the chimney.

    Chicago Stucco was an absolutely great company to work with. They were clear in their communication, very helpful when asked about various issues, the work was excellent, the crew was very considerate & always on time & kept everything clean. We have a 100 year old stucco house that needed repairs & they managed it perfectly & the house looks so much better & all of the repairs blend perfectly with our existing stucco. We look forward to working with them again!

    I really wish I didn't have to write a negative review, but I feel compelled.  I'm sure this company might do good on certain jobs (the previous owner of our house supposedly had a large patch done by this company and it looks great 5 years later), but our experience was not positive.

    We hired Chicago Stucco in 2015 to fix about 8 cracks in our stucco.  Most of the cracks were minor and vertical, but there was also a long section of broken stucco along the driveway.  The work they did seemed to be really good except they did not fix all the cracks, and when I asked them they said some cracks were too minor to fix.  One of those cracks was a really long one that actually provided the impetus for me to hire a stucco contractor in the first place, so I was a little disappointed.  Not fixing all the cracks seemed a little weird, but I thought, whatever they must know something I don't.

    By 2016 the repaired stucco along the driveway began to crack, even in places I hadn't shoveled, so it must have been related to just being up against the concrete driveway and the weather.  I contacted Chicago Stucco and they actually sent a crew over to fix the new cracks.  So I was pretty happy.  I asked since they were coming out anyway if I could pay them to fix the cracks I wanted fixed from before, but again they said they were too minor.

    Alright so around this time I replaced my wall a/c unit and I had a huge hole in the side of my house.  Chicago Stucco quoted me a reasonable price to stucco over the framed hole, but couldn't get to me for 6 weeks or so.  I needed this job done quickly so I hired a different stucco guy to do the patch.  This guy did an OK job but the color wasn't matched as well as what Chicago Stucco had done for us so I asked Chicago Stucco if they could perhaps stain the patch and while they were at it could they please fix the long vertical crack I wanted fixed from before.  This time they acted offended that I hired someone else to do the patch and said they “weren't interested” in working for me anymore.  They did refer me to Forest Park Stucco who has done work on another house down the street from me and seemed to do a great job.

    Now in 2018 the patch along my driveway is cracking again.  It's actually worse than it ever was before I ever hired Chicago Stucco.  I took some pictures and sent them to Chicago Stucco and they again said they aren't interested in helping me.  I said that's fine, but could they please refund the cost of the patch along my driveway.  They said sorry no refunds.  I reminded them of their 5 year warranty and that I would be writing a thorough negative review.

    In conclusion I would not hire this company to repair cracks in stucco.

    They did a great job on our home and we are happy with the color match they did as well.

    We had a great experience with Chicago Stucco. They re-stuccoed our entire home. The owner was responsive and the entire crew delivered high-quality work.
