“We got three quotes and Shamrock was the only one where the owner actually came out. John J. walked the whole building with us, explained exactly what needed repointing and what could wait. No pressure, fair price, and the crew was here when they said they’d be. Mortar match is perfect.”

“Our chimney was leaking into the bedroom ceiling for two years. Two other guys wanted to just seal the crown. Shamrock told us the flashing was shot and the top 12 courses needed rebuilding. They were right. No leaks since, and they cleaned up like they were never here.”

“Had a rusted lintel over our front window that was pushing the bricks out. Shamrock replaced the lintel and reset all the brick above it. You can’t even tell where the new work starts — they matched our 1920s Chicago common perfectly. Five-year warranty in writing.”

“I manage six buildings on the south side. Shamrock has done the tuckpointing on four of them now. Same crew every time, they know our buildings, and Jackie in the office is great to work with on scheduling. Never had to call back for warranty work.”

“Our front stoop was crumbling and we’d been putting it off for years. Shamrock tore it out, poured new footings, and rebuilt it in matching brick in under a week. The guys were professional and respectful of our yard. Looks better than original.”

“Water was getting in around every window on the back of our building. Shamrock stripped all the old caulk, cleaned the joints out, and re-sealed everything. Bone dry through the first winter. They also flagged some mortar joints that needed attention — honest crew.”
