Finding Mr. John Machnicki, owner of Tuckpointing by Marion, Inc. has been a highly rewarding, positive experience. It is important that I distinguish his firm from another that bares a very similar name to his. In my opinion, John Machnicki, is a dedicated, highly skilled, professional, master craftsperson of exceptional work ethic and character. With this type of rehabilitation the repairs cannot be hit or miss, especially when it comes to masonry restoration. No matter if your building is historic or not, John will get it done right the first time around. Worse than mediocre work, is hiring person/s that can actually cause more damage to this material. I appreciate that John takes the time to break things down so you can understand the “whys” of what he is doing. It is a pleasure to do business with him, too. To insure there is no confusion in reaching John, I am listing his working phone numbers: 773-286-8866 and 847-940-1020.
