Testimonials

    Our condo association spent nearly two years and interviewed more than eight contractors before we decided to contract with CBR Restoration Group. We are thoroughly glad that we chose them to do this work. The scope of the project was large and required expensive special assessments, which burdened the homeowners of the 19 units in this building. From the start, CBR's proposal was thorough and detailed; many follow-up discussions occurred even before work started. Once the work began, the owner were onstie daily to oversee the work being completed by thier crew. They also worked on the project and we were very glad to have this hands on approach. When problems came up, which they inevitibly did, Voytek contacted me immediately to describe the problem (for example: they discovered crumbling lintels after starting their brick work) and asked me to inspect with him so that I could understand the issues involved. In fact during the project I spoke with him, on average, 2-3 three times a day. He provided constant feedback, which was essential for me to keep other owners informed. Their work is outstanding and I recommend them highly; they were flexible when necessary and as we approached December they worked on Sundays to take advantage of weather conditions (throughout the project they regularly worked on Saturdays). Before the project started, they contacted all building owners in the neighborhood and during the project they were so careful to maintain not only a clean worksite, but the grounds around the building as well. You will be glad to work with this company.

Re: Condominium Building Tuck-pointing and Steam Cleaning

To whom it may concern:

The Board of Directors of the Oakton House Condominium Associates is very pleased with the work that was performed by CBR Restoration Group. We have hired CBR twice now for separate projects for our 5 story building. CBR went above and beyond the requirements of the project.  By cleaning the mold mildew from the building, CBR extended the life of the tuck-pointing work that was performed and helped us realize a cost savings.

We can recommend CBR Restoration Group to do tuck-pointing and similar brick work or buildings like ours.

Sincerely,
L. Carter
President
Condominium Association

    Contacted CBR and they promptly responded. They viewed the site and submitted an estimate later that day. Compared their estimate with two other contractors and found it very competitive on a price/quality basis. Signed the contract and gave an initial down-payment. 
   CBR took care of the design and permit process. This process went more quickly than expected. (Much more quickly than if I had done it myself.) The work was performed promptly and conscientiously. They kept the site clean and organized. The final result was beyond expectations. The porch and parapet wall passed city inspection without modification.
