Front Steps...
Description Of Work: Our front steps were deteriorating. Bonanno company came
to give us an estimate to repair. They convinced us to remove the old brick
and concrete and redo the steps with brick and granite instead, arguing that
the work will last longer that way. We agreed and they did the job during
the planned week.
Member Comments:Everything went as planned. The front steps are beautiful
and will last longer than the house probably will! The work lasted 1.5 days
and Louie was on site regularly to check on progress. He addressed any
concern or question I had. As a side note, Louie told us that he did the
retaining wall in our garden when the house was first built in 1969. That
wall is still standing, like new, without a single crack in it.
Regraded the driveway, pavers, walkway, and more...
Description Of Work: Regraded driveway and installed brick pavers. Created
walkway to front door with brick pavers. Rebuilt front stoop in granite.
Member Comments: The work was outstanding. Price was excellent. Louie Bonanno
was a pleasure to deal with and his workers were punctual, professional and
polite. My neighbor remarked on the politeness of the workers. The job was
completed very quickly and the craftsmanship was outstanding. The finished
result is beautiful. I highly recommend this company.
Foundation work...
Description Of Work:During big rains, foundation wall was leaking around the
sewer discharge pipe where the brickwork mortar appeared to be failing.
Prior homeowner efforts at patching with hydraulic cement hadn't worked;
Bonanno cut out the old mortar and applied new adhesive and sealer inside
the foundation wall.
Member Comments: Quick response to the initial call and honest estimate. It
took a couple weeks to actually schedule the work. We had the experience of
having the work done immediately prior to a major series of summer storms.
The day after the work was completed, but before the new cement/adhesive had
cured, we had another big rain. We had a leak. I called and Louie Bonanno
(owner) came over the very next morning to apply an additional sealer. He
also made a recommendation that we get someone to add another downspout to
carry water away from the house; his contact came over the next day and did
that for a reasonable price (John Mucci). Since then, three days of
continuous rain and big storms and not a drop has come inside. Feels like
money well spent!
Brick Stairway...
Description Of Work: They rebuilt a badly crumbling front brick stairs.
Member Comments: I called Louie Bonanno on July 14 and he said he would give
a call on the the 15th to set up a time to look over the job. As promised,
he called me the next day and we met to get an estimate for the project. His
efficiency and professionalism were evident. His estimate was reasonable. He
has 15 workers so he can do several jobs at the same time. Due to the stairs
being in such sad shape he committed to start the job on the 17th of July.
He said his firm would arrive somewhat before 8AM on that day. The stairs
would be built with brick risers/sides and granite stairs and platform. He
suggested granite as opposed to bluestone because it resists salt and
retains its color better. The price for bluestone or granite would be the
same. The job promptly started at 8AM that day and was completely finished
by 2:30PM. The finished product was excellent because the construction crew
were very skilled. The project was finished so quickly because there were 3
to 4 workers involved at all times. You could tell that they worked together
a lot because they knew how to support one another, which kept the project
going smoothly. This was accomplished despite it was above 90 degrees, humid
and in full sun the whole time. The clean-up was 99% effective. I had to
rake a small portion of the lawn to remove a very small amount of debris
which the workers could not see. In a nutshell, I would hire this firm in a
heartbeat.
Drainage, and stone wall...
Description Of Work: They took out the old, badly needing to be replaced
drain. My stone wall was falling down a little bit and they fixed that. They
did some brick work for me.
Member Comments: They are good at all types of different things. They did it
quickly and well. They were exceedingly nice. They were thoughtful. They
through in something that he noticed needed to be done and he didn't charge
me for it. I would recommend them and use them again
Fieldstone Foundation...
Description Of Work: They scraped away old deteriorated mortar and replaced
it with concrete for the entire fieldstone foundation, inside and outside.
Member Comments: I really like them. They came with a crew of about 13 guys
and had the whole project done in about 3/4 of a day. They cleaned
everything up very nicely. The estimate was exactly the same as what the
final cost was.
Retaining wall...
Description Of Work: Bonanno Construction built a 48 ft long and 4 ft. high
retaining wall (with a 12 ft. return up one side) at the bottom of my
severely sloping backyard, cleared the backyard of brush and backfilled the
yard with fill and loam to level the yard.
Member Comments: The Bonanno team was nothing short of amazing. The Bonanno
brothers descended on our property in Arlington early one morning with a
team of about 10 workers and equipment and transformed our backyard in two
days, start to finish. They built a special ramp so that they could get
machinery into our backyard and worked from from light to dark until the job
was complete. They do a lot of work in hilly Arlington Heights, so they have
experience with the drainage and other issues (getting big machines in
narrow spaces between houses) common to the neighborhood. They worked
closely in tandem with CRS Irrigation, which did a excellent job installing
a irrigation system and laid sod, so that the job was treated as one
project--seamless. When I had questions about the completed wall, Tino and
his brother came back at 8:30 the same night and answered all my questions.
Bonanno construction is extremely professional and they take great pride in
their work. The other estimates we received from masonry contractors on the
List were a few hundred bucks less than Bonanno, but one contractor was
going to take two weeks to do the job (using cheaper materials) and the
other would have used much cheaper building materials. I could not have been
happier with our choice. I would hire Bonanno again in a heartbeat
