"Coordinating the concerns and skills governing boards and construction professionals is an important part of succeeding with major restoration projects. This past year, one firm that has been instrumental in the planning, implementation and success of a couple of unique masonry projects is Fortune Restoration, They can handle anything from the restoration of an ornate terra cotta facade on a historic building as well as a community garage that leaks like a sieve."

"I just want to thank you and your crew for the great restoration masonry job you did for the university. The work was done with craftsmanship and thought. All your employees were very knowledgeable and respectful of where they were working. I look forward to working with you again soon."

“We recently contracted to have our exterior bell tower re-painted and repaired. We engaged Fortune Restoration to do the necessary tuckpointing and painting. During the process we found all the people from this company to be cooperative, thorough and careful. The results of this work have restored the beautiful building of Our Lady of Hope and improved our ability to maintain the building."

"We have been happy with the quality of the work from the repair and painting of numerous exteriors to the detailed preparation and finishing of some of our important professors' offices. Your staff was always thorough and professional. Most importantly, they kept the people in the spaces where they were working appraised of the work at hand and tried to cause as little inconvenience as possible to these occupants."

"This year MB Financial Bank has been working with Fortune Restoration on more than 30 exterior building projects. At this time I would like to express our satisfaction with the work that your company has performed for us. The crews that have visited our properties have been exemplary. They are extremely hard working and complete projects in minimum time. They conduct themselves in workman like fashion and our staff members at the properties where they are working have complimented them for their professionalism."

“The limestone on our school building was old and had been weathered and dirtied over many years. The magnitude of his project made it something that was impossible for our school maintenance staff to handle on their own. Mr. Bob Fortune and his team not only diagnosed exactly the cause of our problem but then worked quickly and thoroughly to restore the stone. Fortune Restoration did an absolutely beautiful job cleaning and restoring the limestone while beautifying the front of our school. The attention to detail that Fortune Restoration demonstrated during this project showed care for our school and pride in their work.”

“I have been a home owner for 40 years of my 46 years of marriage. In that time I have painted my homes using a number of different companies in the Chicago area. The Fortune brothers, Bob and Tom, have been in business in Lincolnwood, IL for a long time. My wife and I decided to use them 25 years ago to do our exterior painting. That was the best decision we made as it lead to a long and satisfied relationship. Over the past 25 years, we have had every room in our home painted at least 5 times. We have found Fortune Restoration's promptness, meticulous preparation, and cleanliness to be hallmarks of their work. They are masters at restoring the projects others cannot do."
