The Blade’s Edge - A League of Legends Fanfiction - Chapter 10

They had a simple arrangement. She was the weapon to be used on his enemies. Things get more complicated when emotions bleed into what should simple. Now the two of them find themselves on the precipice of something that was entirely unexpected.

Lady Montrose has an old family name, an old family Manor, and an even older idea of how society should function. She also has a vast fortune to put behind her ideas, which is why most of them have flocked here. Of course these days the once great lady is a mere puppet for her grandson, Augustus. It is he who greets the guests and acts as host, a child playing dress-up, pretending to greatness.

“Ah, Grand General, Sir, Grandmother will be most honored.” He’s worse than a mere useless nobility fop, he’s spent so many years in scholarly pursuits, he now believes himself truly intelligent.

His eyes genuinely light up when he greets Kat. “Katarina, it’s been forever, you look lovely.” He takes her hand, kisses it, and lingers entirely too long. There were rumors once about the two of them. I should ask her about it, it could prove useful. “We should talk later, it will be good to catch up.”

We move along, further into the cavernous, ancient hall. “Be careful what you say to him. I don’t trust him or this situation.”

She just shrugs. “You don’t trust anyone.”

“That’s beside the point. And not entirely true. I trust you don’t I?”

She stops, she can’t hide the faint smile on her lips. “Fine, one exception.”

“I mean there’s one or two more, probably.”

“You’re not really making your case any better.” We’ve moved out of earshot of the boy, and she stops to whisper viciously at me. “Do you really think I’m an idiot though? Just look at him, he’d stab his own mother in back. In fact, that may have literally happened. You really think I’d trust him for a second?”

She has a point. “No, that was reactionary.” I kiss her forehead, she leans into it. “Do stop trying to pick a fight though, you’ve been doing it since…” Right, her mother. I take her arm. “Earlier. I don’t want to spend all night arguing with you.” I keep my voice level, trying to prove my point. We continue moving.

We cut through the overdressed crowd, wealth for them displayed as a show of strength, thronging between the overly plush parlors and the lavish ballroom. The lamps reflect off jewels at every turn, laughter flowing with the wine, and again they gossip and whisper as we pass. I pay it no mind, I’m here to achieve something, a step forward for Noxus.

Kat’s voice cuts through the din. “Sorry for being difficult, I wasn’t expecting what happened earlier.”

I’m slightly taken aback at her honesty. “Would you feel better if I found you someone to stab?”

“Maybe.” It was supposed to make her smile again, but her response is a soft monotone.

We pause again, stepping out of the flow of the crowd around us. I lean down to kiss her, pulling her against me, feeling every one of her curves pressed against me through her dress. “Or maybe we should wander off and find some place secluded.”

She’s wrapped herself around me. “Wouldn’t that be too undignified for your position? Imagine the Grand General fucking some harlot in an abandoned hallway.” Her lips graze my ear and she has no idea how close I am to recreating that moment. There are more pressing matters however. She sighs softly, not pulling out of my arms. “I don’t really want to fight with you.” Her words are uncharacteristically tinged with sadness.

Frequently she’s angry or annoyed or irritable, she’s never sad. It strikes me as wrong somehow. I reach up to cup her cheek and brush my thumb along it. “Then let’s not.” She nods and lets me continue leading us toward our goal, stopping to grab a glass of wine from a passing servant.

I spy Argos, engrossed in some conversation and looking as uncomfortable as ever. When he looks up and his eyes meet mine, I signal for him to follow. We come at last to a back parlor, buried in the depths of the house. The horde of guests has thinned out, leaving the area much quieter. Inside, Darius is already waiting with Augustus’s younger sister, Coraline.

Argos looks around quickly, clearly trying to ascertain if the situation bids him ill. Coraline senses the tension and gestures around her. “Do take a seat.”

The plush couches arranged in a semicircle are faded with age and fraying, the gilding is wearing off in some spots it would seem. The lamps are set low to attract less attention. “Is she here?” I look to Coraline.

“Of course. Thankfully my dear brother let me handle some of the arrangements for this evening.” She rises to speak in hushed tones to a servant just outside the door.

I take a seat directly across from Argos, Darius to my left. Kat remains standing behind me, draining another glass of wine she acquired from somewhere. In moments a short woman with sun-kissed skin is shown in by the servant.

Coraline introduces her to our small group. “This is Amara Whitney. For those of you unfamiliar with our purpose here tonight, she has a most intriguing proposal for a strategy to quickly and reliably produce black powder weapons.” Argos and Darius lean forward, suitably invested in the revelation.

“Correct.” The strength of her voice is disproportionate to her sleight frame. “By combining parts made to exact specifications and the rifled barrel, we can make unlimited, accurate, black powder weapons. With the steam engine providing power to machine those parts we can do it quickly and efficiently.” It’s a beautiful image, the forces of Noxus, armed with endless black powder weapons. It’s needed as well. The vision in the North gave me the first hint, but there have been others since, some conspiracy is establishing itself. I have an intimation who is agitating it, but it’s been frustratingly mostly chasing shadows. I know the Generals I have put in place will keep the army loyal though, and I may need it to be as deadly as possible. Just one of many security measures I’m working into place.

“If funds were provided to set up the operation in small scale, you would guarantee your results?” I stare her down, searching for any sign of hesitation.

She holds fast. “Of course, all that’s needed is funding.”

“Your input?” I look to Darius and Argos.

“That would be quite the advantage. Hextexch is near impossible to acquire in large numbers and we already control most of the black powder production on the continent.” Argos is eager.

“It needs to be funded. High Command will be skeptical of taking that on.” Darius has a point.

“I know, that’s why we need private investors.” Of course, I’ll be involved, but as promising as it is, I will not be bankrolling it solo. If it all works out though, selling the arms to the Empire should net a nice profit. There’s a reason I turned the family fortune from lands and estates to finance and investments.

“So we need to decide who to go to. This may be too forward thinking for some of my more traditional peers.” Coraline looks pointedly at me and Kat, still standing behind me. “I will be happy to contribute, provided Augustus is not an obstacle.” That is the conundrum, as stuck as they are in their ways, the Nobility still has plenty of resources. There is an alternative.

“Why involve them at all?” All eyes turn to Kat. “They are rotting in their ways and traditions while the bankers and merchants thrive. Why not go to those who have been making their own fortune, at least they can see the future.”

I turn my gaze toward her, stunned she involved herself, and more than a little impressed that she cut to the heart of the matter. “That’s exactly the solution. We don’t need them.” I haven’t been trying to convince her she has more abilities than just being an assassin for my own amusement. I reach up and put my hand over hers. “Very astute observation.”

All eyes are still on her. “Right, I’m bored now. I’m going to find another drink.” She turns her back on those eyes and exits briskly.

“She’s been spending way too much time with you.” Darius grins like he knows some hidden secret. “If she’s not careful you’re going to make her completely boring.”

“Moving on. Coraline, secure an exit for our new friend. I’ll count on you to get meetings with the right investors. I’ll see to it that your brother isn’t much trouble at all”

She nods, looking perfectly satisfied at my last words. “I will be in touch.”

Finally, this night is nearing a conclusion. Although it has been enjoyable parading Kat around at my side. “We should all go out and fulfill our social obligations before leaving.” I look pointedly at Argos. “Let’s not make things too obvious for now. Darius, try not to drink our host dry.”

“Kat’s probably already beat me to it.” I should find her before that gets close to being true.

We exit one by one, slipping back into the sea of guests. I make the rounds, exchanging empty pleasantries, listening to numbing prattle, and keep an eye out for Kat. I know how she can get when the wine starts flowing, and she already hates crowds.

There is no sign of her after I’ve passed through nearly every room that’s occupied. Honestly, if she’s left on her own, we’ll have words later. Finally, hemmed in by some weasel faced little bureaucrat on the edge of the lavish ballroom I spot her, dancing with Augustus Montrose. I feel my jaw tighten, I explicitly warned her about him.

I keep her in my sight, determined to see them separated without this turning into a scene between the two of us. I’ve never had the opportunity to see her dance before. Every step is elegant and perfectly measured, reflective of her other skills. The idiot leans in and says something and she laughs, looking absolutely carefree. Why is that almost anyone else can do that so easily?

A huge shadow looms over me and the poor, sniveling fellow trying to engage me vanishes. Darius gets uncomfortably close, a wine glass in each hand. “You know, instead of glaring at Montrose like you're going to murder him later, you could just ask her to dance?”

He’s entirely too fixated on this. “Are you implying I’m jealous?”

“I’m not even implying, I saying it.”

“Don’t be ridiculous. She’s free to do as she pleases. I just don’t want this having any consequences later.” I don’t need everyone here connecting the two of them.

He rolls his eyes and continues drinking as a response. The music ends and Montrose walks her off the dance floor, finding another drink to pass to her. When she looks in my direction we lock eyes and she immediately looks down and away. Neither walk away and he continues to hover around her. That’s it, the pampered little fop has had enough of her time.

I start towards them. “Nope, not jealous at all,” Darius mutters behind me.

The music begins again. “One more dance?” His voice exudes artifice and practiced charm.

I clear my throat behind them. “Apologies Augustus.” At least her apology wasn’t sincere and now we can finally be done with this. “I owe one to someone else.” She smiles and grabs my hand, pulling me toward the dance floor with surprising strength. This wasn’t what I had intended in the least.

“By all means.” He bows graciously but stares daggers at me. Idiot.

We find ourselves in the midst of a waltz, at the edge of the dance floor, perfectly visible to everyone. “Now everyone’s staring again.” Her cheeks are flushed, though if it’s the wine, the warmth of the room, or the attention, I can’t tell.

“That’s because I don’t typically dance.” And I don’t know why I am now.

“I can tell.” She laughs in that same carefree manner she had with Darius earlier. And like her smile at home, it’s been far too long since she laughed like that around me.

“I’m not that bad, you’re very mean.”

“Don’t worry, I’m good enough for both of us.” She’s right, I am terrible at this, but I struggle through. My timing is completely off and I step on her at least twice, but her hand in mine leads me on. The scent of violet perfume that surrounds her is almost intoxicating. It combines with the heat of the room and makes it difficult to draw breath. It’s a little bit of delirium, and dangerously I let the room and the crowd fade away in my mind until there’s just the two of us, just for a second. Then reality pushes back in and the foolishness of it seizes me. The waltz concludes and she lets out a little sigh. At least this has served as distraction enough that no one will remember her and Augustus. “I imagine you’re ready to leave.”

A strand of her hair has come loose, I reach out and brush it behind her ear. “We could stay if you want.” She seemed so content.

She closes her eyes. “No, let’s go, I’m done with all this.”

She leans her head on my shoulder the whole ride home, eyes half closed. I can tell she overdid it when I wasn’t watching. “So, when do you want me to kill him?” She finally breaks the silence.

I hesitate, that was the last topic I expected. “Later.” I don’t want to worry about plots and plans and grand schemes for the rest of the night. “It can wait.”

“Pretending to be somewhat pleasant tire you out?” Her lips brush my cheek softly, in direct opposition to her little jab.

I pull her tighter against me. “You always insist on pushing your luck with me, don't you Kitten?”

We finally come to a stop and I help her step down from the carriage. The snow has begun falling again, wet and heavy, blanketing the walk. She missteps and wobbles a bit, my arms wrap around her, keeping her on her feet. “Most dangerous assassin in Noxus, can’t walk in the snow.”

She starts to dissolve into that soft giggling that only comes out when she’s like this. “Shut it! It’s this stupid outfit I’m stuffed into.”

“And you’re tipsy. Do you need me to carry you?” She continues to laugh while playfully swatting my hand away. She looks breathtaking with the snow falling around her and her eyes lit up with genuine mirth. I wonder for a moment if we could always be like this. Could she be all happiness and smiles if I tried? Would she want that? Just to make life easier for both of us.

The servants are all asleep and I keep her from waking Gwen when we get upstairs. I’m tired of being around other people. “Who’s going to get me out of this damn thing?”

“Be patient for a few seconds.” I take her shoulders and turn her away from me. I get to work on the tiny little buttons, followed by the lacing, their precious nature preventing me from using my left hand. She waits patiently, letting me take my time undressing her, finally sighing softly when my fingers trace her bare skin. I help her with the little pins in her hair, admiring the way it cascades down her back when freed.

She turns and her arms entwine me as she leans in to give me a teasing kiss, lips parted ever so slightly, her intention obvious. “Not tonight my tipsy little Kitten. Straight to bed with you.” She pouts, as per usual when she’s been denied something, but makes her way to bed.

When I join her under the covers she's already mostly asleep, curled up in the middle of the bed. “Move over.” I try to gently push her toward her side.

She mumbles something sleepily but gives way, turning her back toward me. I take my place beside her and make sure the covers are pulled up around her, I know she hates it when she gets cold. My arm wraps around her waist and I lay a light kiss on her shoulder as she relaxes against me. “Night Jericho.” She whispers softly, eyes closed.

"Goodnight Kat." Sleep eludes me though as I lay here, holding this moment in my mind. It means more than it should, her curled up next to me, content in my arms. I can’t puzzle it out, I tell myself to let it go. I kiss the top of her head and finally begin to drift off.

Easy Steps to Get Your Home Ready for Sale in Grand Junction

Selling your home in Grand Junction, Colorado, can be an exciting yet challenging journey. To ensure a smooth and successful sale, it’s essential to prepare your home effectively. This guide outlines easy steps to get your home ready for sale, maximizing its appeal to potential buyers.

1. Declutter and Organize

One of the first steps in preparing your home for sale is to declutter and organize your living space. A tidy home allows potential buyers to visualize their own belongings in the space.

Why Decluttering Matters:

Creates Space: Removing excess items makes your home feel larger and more inviting.

Enhances Appeal: A clean and organized home is more attractive and gives an impression of good maintenance.

How to Declutter:

Sort Items: Go through each room and categorize items into keep, donate, recycle, and throw away. Be ruthless—less is more!

Storage Solutions: Consider renting a storage unit for items you don’t use daily but want to keep. This clears out clutter without discarding sentimental belongings.

2. Make Minor Repairs

Addressing minor repairs before listing your home can significantly enhance its appeal and value. Buyers often look for homes that require minimal work.

Common Repairs to Consider:

Leaky Faucets: Fix any dripping faucets or plumbing issues.

Cracks and Holes: Patch any holes in walls or ceilings and repair any cracks in the paint.

Doors and Windows: Ensure all doors and windows open smoothly and check for any broken screens.

How to Approach Repairs:

DIY or Hire Professionals: Depending on your skill level, tackle simple repairs yourself or hire a handyman for more complex issues.

Create a Checklist: Make a list of repairs needed throughout the house to keep track of tasks.

3. Deep Clean Your Home

A thorough cleaning is crucial for making a good impression. A clean home not only looks better but also smells fresher, making it more appealing to buyers.

Areas to Focus On:

Kitchens and Bathrooms: These areas should be spotless, as buyers pay special attention to cleanliness in high-traffic spaces.

Floors and Carpets: Vacuum carpets, mop floors, and consider professional cleaning for any heavily soiled areas.

Windows: Clean windows inside and out to maximize natural light and improve the overall look of your home.

Cleaning Tips:

Use a Checklist: Create a cleaning checklist to ensure no area is overlooked.

Consider Hiring Professionals: If time is limited, hiring a professional cleaning service can save you time and effort.

4. Enhance Curb Appeal

First impressions matter. Curb appeal is essential, as it’s the first thing potential buyers will see. A well-maintained exterior can make a significant impact.

How to Boost Curb Appeal:

Landscaping: Trim hedges, mow the lawn, and plant colorful flowers. A neat yard creates a welcoming environment.

Paint and Repair: Consider a fresh coat of paint for your front door and address any chipped or peeling paint on the exterior.

Lighting: Update outdoor lighting fixtures or add solar lights along walkways to enhance the entryway.

Quick Curb Appeal Fixes:

Pressure Wash: Clean sidewalks and driveways to remove dirt and grime.

New House Numbers: Consider replacing old house numbers with modern ones for a fresh look.

5. Stage Your Home

Staging your home effectively can help potential buyers visualize how they would use the space. A well-staged home often sells faster and at a higher price.

Staging Tips:

Neutral Decor: Opt for neutral colors in decor and furnishings. This helps buyers envision their style in the space.

Furniture Arrangement: Arrange furniture to create an open flow and maximize space. Consider removing oversized furniture that can make rooms feel cramped.

Highlight Key Features: Emphasize any unique architectural features or focal points in each room, such as fireplaces or built-in shelves.

Professional Staging:

Consider Hiring a Stager: A professional stager can provide insights and arrange your home to appeal to the broadest audience possible.

6. Set the Right Price

Pricing your home correctly is vital for attracting buyers. A well-priced home generates more interest and can lead to quicker offers.

How to Determine the Right Price:

Research Comparable Sales: Look at similar homes in your neighborhood that have sold recently to gauge pricing trends.

Get a Professional Appraisal: Consider hiring a real estate appraiser for an accurate assessment of your home’s value.

Work with an Agent:

Consult a Real Estate Agent: An experienced local agent can provide valuable insights into pricing and market conditions. They can help you set a competitive price that attracts buyers while maximizing your return.

7. Market Your Home Effectively

Once your home is ready for sale, it’s crucial to market it effectively. Utilize various platforms to reach potential buyers.

Marketing Strategies:

Online Listings: List your home on popular real estate websites, including high-quality photos and a detailed description.

Social Media: Promote your listing on social media platforms to reach a wider audience.

Open Houses: Host open houses to attract local buyers. Ensure your home is clean and inviting for visitors.

Work with a Real Estate Agent:

Leverage Agent’s Network: A real estate agent has access to resources and networks that can help market your home effectively.

8. Prepare for Showings

Being prepared for showings is essential for creating a positive impression on potential buyers.

Tips for Successful Showings:

Flexible Scheduling: Be accommodating with showing times to attract more potential buyers.

Keep it Clean: Maintain cleanliness and order in your home at all times, as you never know when a potential buyer might want to view the property.

Create a Welcoming Atmosphere: Open curtains to let in natural light and consider soft background music to create a pleasant ambiance.

The Best Takeout I Ate This Month, When I Could Only Eat Takeout

In the span of three weeks, I somehow managed two moves while trying to find an apartment that I liked: from Uptown to Woodlawn, then from Woodlawn to Printers Row. Turns out that I need someplace larger than a tiny studio, and also within walking distance of a coffee shop (preferably one that has macadamia milk).

There was a lot of packing and unpacking, and packing again to unpack. But the one thing I never unpacked was my kitchen, so I found myself grabbing something to-go, virtually every day, in neighborhoods across the city. And of all the things I ate, these are my favorites. So if you’re looking for good takeout, read on.

The Takeout

$$$$ 2621 S Halsted St.

Cold Noodles

This is the spot formally known as A Place by Damao, right on the border of Bridgeport and Chinatown. Da Mao Jia specializes in Chengdu cuisine and is home to one of my favorite dishes in the city. It’s the sweet and spicy cold noodle, made with perfectly chewy handmade noodles, peanut sauce, and a housemade chili oil. In fact, the entire menu is delicious, and the cold noodles also serve as a refreshing palate cleanser in between mouth-numbing bites of the wontons in volcano broth, or their ChengDu Spicy Duck Wings.

$$$$ Wilson

Meat & Jollof Plate

The best part about living in Uptown was all the different West African restaurants I had the chance to try. Out of those, Palace Gate Ghanaian Restaurant became my go-to. A lot of different stews, rice, and starches make up the menu, but my favorite is the meat and jollof plate. It’s a container packed with deliciousness - spicy, fragrant rice, tender stewed beef, and ripe, roasted plantain.

$$$$ 4949 N Broadway St

Khao Soi

Another Uptown favorite, Immm Rice & Beyond serves up a khao soi that’s so good I ordered it at least once a week while I lived in the neighborhood. The dish is a spicy but sweet curry with braised beef, hand-cut noodles, and topped with a tangle of fried noodles and a dollop of chili paste. It’s a great mix of flavors and textures, and thanks to their khao soi, this dish has become the first thing I look for on the menu of any new Thai restaurant I visit.

$$$$ 2447 N Clark St

Hot Wings

You know how you have those hot wings that are hot, but somehow still bland? No kick, not enough salt, and the only notable flavor is “spicy”. They’re the worst, and far too common. But House of Wings is breaking that cycle with their crispy, well-seasoned, and well-sauced hot wings out of a little storefront in Lincoln Park. Plus there’s no seating, so this place was primed for takeout even before the pandemic.

, in

$$$$ 901 W Randolph St

Mr. G Sandwich

I call this the Italian sandwich to beat out all Italian sandwiches. The Mr. G comes courtesy of J.P Graziano’s, a family-run place serving up subs (hoagies, cold cuts, sandwiches, heros, whatever) in the West Loop since 1933. In other words, way before rent went up 500%. And their longevity must be based on the fact that the sandwiches are straight-up quality - made with chewy fresh-baked bread from D’Amato’s, imported meats, cheeses, spices, and oils. The Mr. G (named after the original owner) is layered with sharp provolone, hot soppressata, prosciutto, genoa salami, truffle mustard, balsamic vinaigrette, hot oil, marinated artichokes, fresh basil, and lettuce.

$$$$ 3452 S Western Ave

Croissant Breakfast Sandwich

In the words of a famous Chicagoan, “Hurry up with my damn croissants!” But please don’t actually say this to the nice people at Butterdough in McKinley Park. I warn you though, the airy, buttery croissants will make you wanna curse. The pastries alone are good, but when they put bacon, lettuce, tomato, avocado, and herbed ranch on said croissant? I was hooked. But get there early, ’cause once they’re gone, they’re gone - and they sell out quick.

$$$$ 1646 W 18th St

Pork Jibarito Plate

Usually, I go to Humboldt Park to satisfy my jibarito craving. But Jibarito Stop (which started out as a food truck and is woman-owned), set up shop right in the heart of Pilsen and is making some seriously delicious jibaritos. I like ordering the pork with arroz con gandules and a Champagne kola, but they also have great dinner plates, like stewed black beans or empanadas.

$$$$ Location changes

Steak Taco

This one only pops-up occasionally so requires a bit of planning, but is worth the effort. Taco Sublime is a taco truck from the Under The Bridge Project, a community rehabilitation non-profit, that serves the best steak taco I’ve ever had. The perfectly-seasoned meat is tender and the salsa is tangy and delicious, but what really sets it apart is the caramelized cheese coating the inside of the corn tortilla. And the best part (even better than the crispy cheese) is that they donate their profits to different local charities every time they come out and serve food.

A post shared by Tacosublime (@tacosublime) on Jun 8, 2020 at 1:46pm PDT

$$$$ 1637 W Montrose

Tropical Arepa

I have a special relationship with arepas. The first time I ever had one was while working on a Venezuelan food truck after deciding to quit my marketing internship post-college graduation. During that time I made (and ate) hundreds, if not thousands, of arepas - so I know a good one when I bite into it. And the huge arepas at Bienmesabe are good ones. They’re crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and stuffed with meat, handmade white cheese, and a variety of other delicious fillings. My favorite is the tropical arepa, which has shredded chicken, black beans, and plantains.

$$$$ 57 E 47th St

Bananas Foster Combo Scoop

That line isn’t out the door for nothing. If you’re craving something sweet, Shawn Michelle’s makes some of the best ice cream in the city. The first time I went I wanted to try virtually everything, but there are over 25 flavors, so I ended up going with the bananas foster combo: a mix of banana pudding and Jamaican rum raisin ice creams. Y’all. This woman made me like raisins. Let that be a testament to how good the ice cream is here.

Beautiful Homes of Instagram: Charlotte, NC

Hello, my dear friends. How are you today? I have to take a minute to tell you all how grateful I am for your presence here on Home Bunch. I took a few days off last week and I have to tell you that I feel so Blessed for taking this little break and be able to be back to this space that is ours. This short break allowed me to analyze my gratitude for all of the important things in my life and this is a big part of it. Thank you for coming here, for reading the blog and for your loyalty. I certainly hope that you always find inspiration and knowledge here, and also feel a little lighter and happier every time you come to the blog.

Talking about feeling happy, this is exactly how I feel every time I feature this talented builder (previously featured here & here) and it’s truly great to have them on our “Beautiful Homes of Instagram” today. Here, the builder shares some incredible details – not to mention, all sources – with us. Read on:

“Pike Properties builds in the urban and close to town neighborhoods in Charlotte, NC. Typically lots range from 50 feet to 60 feet in width, with an occasional needle in a haystack lot that is wider. This homesite was a needle in a haystack. Located on a quiet cul-de-sac and measuring 114 feet at the setback, and 224 feet at the rear property line, this homesite allowed Pike Properties to spread their wings and fly. What that meant was that they were able to build an expansive property without constraints and along with it, make it truly amazing both inside and out. The resale value was maximized thanks to the property, so splurging on interior finishes was a must. What is in store for you in this home tour is something you definitely don’t want to skip over! Let’s take a closer look.”

Feel free to pin, save and share this beautiful home.

Beautiful Homes of Instagram: Charlotte, NC

From the conceptual rendering of this home’s exterior, something very special was born. Pike Properties actually pre-sold this home before breaking ground after a couple saw it online and barged into their office essentially begging for them to allow them to purchase so early on. Normally, Pike will pre-sell but that usually isn’t until after framing. Change orders aren’t allowed, FYI. This home spoke volumes and was so hard to find that interest was shown so early on. Pike agreed to pre-sale and this home was under contract before the first dirt was moved and footings poured.

You will notice that this home is broken into two sections, divided by a “cat walk” and lower breezeway which connects the garage and mudroom on the main floor, and upstairs living spaces with a bonus room/flex space up. By designing it this way, it doesn’t overwhelm and seem too large. The presence remains humble.

Of course Pike had to paint the home WHITE. White houses are just oh so popular, and with a large front facade, they didn’t want to risk another darker color, or even a tan. Plus, the white paint really allows the cedar accents to pop. Benjamin Moore Olympic Mountains was selected for the paint color, with cedar accents, garage door, and fir front door stained in Benjamin Moore Hidden Valley. To blend, the roof chose is CertainTeed Sunrise Cedar. Dark Bronze metal roof accents and gutters contrast ever so slightly.

Genuine Hardie Siding was used on the exterior, for low-maintenance and quality purposes, and you just can’t beat their warranty!

Garage Coach Light- St. James Lighting Montrose.

Curb Appeal

It’s hard to decide if this home looks better during the day or at dusk! One thing is for sure though, when the sun sets over this residence, lights come on inside, and dinner is prepared, there is no place better to call HOME.

Kitchen

There are a handful of different directions you can go with kitchen design these days, and here Pike Properties decided to use neutral, crisp, and clean elements that blend seamlessly but also have some visual interest. Stark white was a no go, but instead the custom, locally crafted cabinetry is painted in “Benjamin Moore 1472 Silver Chain” which has a calming gray tone. The Schaub and Company Menlo Park Satin Brass hardware contrasts nicely with the cabinet color and the brass is actually toned down a bit by the gray versus a white.

Guests are sure to be impressed by the 60″ professional grade Frigidaire refrigerator and food storage isn’t an issue here. The fact of the matter is, that for the price, this makes a bigger statement than you’ll find with any other fridge on the market.

Refrigerator, Freezer & Trim Kit.

Backsplash & Countertop

Pike Properties views the range wall of a kitchen as a piece or artwork or the centerpiece of the space. Typically, there is no wall space to hang art in a kitchen, so the result is needing to use practical aspects of the space and turn them into artwork. That is what you see here with the picture frame accent tile over the 48″ range. This tile is by no means cheap, but when using such a small quantity is relatively affordable and makes a statement that is unlike anything else. The tile is Soho Studio Empress Helena, and it is truly artwork. In person, the small cubes sparkle and brass banding shines bright. It is a sight to see.

Pike stuck with a simple range hood design so as to not distract from the backsplash masterpiece.

The countertop surfaces are covered in striking Cosmos Mont Blanc marble which offers white, gray, and charcoal tones.

Luxurious Backsplash Tiles: Here, Here, Here, Here, Here, Here, Here, Here, Here & Here.

Main Backsplash Tile- Jeffrey Court Wall Street White 3×9 – Other Marble Tiles: here, here, here, here, here, here & here.

Range- Jenn-Air 48″ Pro-Style.

Sconces- Savoy House Morland in Warm Brass – similar here & here.

Kitchen Pendants

Kitchen Pendant Lights- Hinkley Fletcher in Aged Zinc. Other Lighting on Sale: here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here & here.

Hardwood Flooring

The open concept kitchen and dining room is ever so slightly broken up by the large cased opening. The floors you see here span throughout 90% of the home (minus tiled areas) and are 4″ #1 White Oak in Rubio Monocoat Mud Light finish. Rubio Monocoat products offer many benefits including durability, eco-friendly ingredients, and single layer application.

Kitchen Faucet- Brizo Litze in Matte Black and Brillance Luxe Gold.

Kitchen Sink: Blanco Profina.

Counterstools: Gabby Furniture – Other Great Counterstools: here, here, here, here, here, here & here.

Dining Room

Removed just enough, but still open to the kitchen is the sole dining space in the home. The formal dining room, the breakfast room, the kids homework table (well actually there’s a built-in space for that…. stay tuned!), and whatever else you use the dining table for, this is the spot in this home. That said, it was important to go formal enough, but still keep it casual when selected design elements, trim detail, etc. It even started with the layout. When working with their award-wining architects, Frusterio Design, Pike Properties made sure to have the French door set leading out to the rear covered porch from the dining room to keep it a bit casual and allow for easy indoor/outdoor flow.

Two elements of trim detail liven up the space and a hint of elegance. Simple Shiplap wainscoting standing 48″ off the floor dresses up the wall space and lessens the need for large and expensive artwork, which is especially nice considering that most of the wall space is taken up by windows and doors. The ceiling trim detail is comprised of two elements and is a favorite detail to add to a dining space at Pike Properties. It is called an X-beam ceiling formed by 2 flush beams (framed in wood and wrapped in drywall). The inlaid V-groove trim makes everything stand out and adds definition to what could end up being hard to notice.

Chandelier

Chandelier- Visual Comfort Choros 28 Inch.

Covered Rear Porch

This home maintains complete privacy at the rear, so bring on the outdoor living and plenty of evenings spent by the fireplace! With a vaulted ceiling soaring 24′ high and covered in stained V-groove, the grandeur doesn’t end inside. Pike ensured this space was large enough to accommodate two separate seating areas, one for lounging by the gas fireplace and the other for dining al-fresco.

Living Room

The main living space in this home is right here, located in the heart of the home between the kitchen area and owner’s retreat. Of course, immediately you notice the 15′ set of Panoramic Doors leading outside. WOW! These doors are manufactured custom to order and are made out of Aluminum in a bronze finish. Five individual panels fold on top of each other to create a fully opening wall of glass. See the next photo for a fully opened view.

Paint Color

Paint colors remain neutral and calming throughout the home. Pike has standard colors they always use to keep their homes consistent and that go best with their style and vibe. For main living spaces, hallways, secondary bedrooms and utility areas Pike uses Benjamin Moore Dove Wing. All inside trim tends to be Benjamin Moore White Dove. For the Owner’s Retreat spaces, Benjamin Moore Halo is utilized to create a soothing and warm toned space without going away from the neutral theme. Secondary bathrooms are all painted Benjamin Moore Moonshine.

Great Quality Rugs: here, here, here, here, here, here, here & here.

Cat Walk

Remember on the front exterior when the “catwalk” was mentioned? Well here it is on the inside! Essentially a fancy hallway, this area connects the main upstairs living area with a bonus/flex space over the garage. Windows on both sides looking out makes you feel like you are walking on a catwalk, or over a bridge.

This is a good time to mention that all the interiors doors in this home are painted in Sherwin Williams Iron Ore.

Master Bedroom

Ensuring the highest probability of sweet dreams is at the top of Pike Properties priority list. A bedroom should always be calming, relaxing, and serene. The Crate and Barrel Finley drum pendant softens the spaces, and texture and visual interest is evoked with the diagonal shiplap bed wall. For just a tad extra in trim, doing a diagonal shiplap bed wall is a perfect way to take your bedroom to new heights.

Lighting: Crate & Barrel – Other Chandeliers: here, here, here & here.

Beautiful Nightstands: here, here, here, here & here.

Recommended Bedding: here & here.

Master Bathroom

Everything is not all sunshine and butterflies in home building, that is for sure. One story about this space demonstrates just a hint at that. Mirrors were completed left out of selections as an accidental oversight. It was three days before the professional photo shoot and mirrors were being hung when that was realized. A quick online search and scramble ensued and these were the result. Pretty fitting and amazingly blended for a last minute selection!

The rustic warmth the Restoration Hardware Printmakers vanity (similar here) brings in to the space is much needed to keep it from being all gray and white tones. Pike also loves incorporating rustic styling into their builds.

How often do you accidentally splash a little water onto your drywall behind the sink when brushing teeth or washing your hair? This likely has happened to you a time or two, or 100. Not only is the tile accent wall stylish, it is also functional. Splashing water on tile is much less noticeable and definitely not as likely to prompt you to grab a towel to dry it up.

Wall Tile- Merola tile Kite Dark Gray – similar here.

Other Bathroom Vanities: here, here, here, here, here, here, here & here.

Mirrors- Rejuvenation Rounded Rectangular Metal Framed.

Vanity Top- Cosmos Mont Blanc (Same as in kitchen).

Faucets- Delta Trinsic 8″ Widespread in Matte Black.

Pendants- Hinkley Academy.

Spa-like

Whether you are a bath or shower person, you are in for a treat in this spa-like setting. The walk-in shower is of a very unique design and also is lacking any sort of door or glass. The actual shower with dual heads is out of view inside the section to the right. The area where you first step into from the bathroom floor is actually known as a dry area and is where the towel racks are located. It is meant to be a spot for drying off but without having to worry about a floor mat or getting water all over the bathroom floor. Very practical and stylish!

Tub- Signature Hardware Nina Acrylic 70″ Freestanding Tub.

Tub Faucet- Delta Trinsic in matte Black.

Shower Floor Tile- MSI Surfaces Telaio 2″ Hexagon Honed.

Shower Wall Tile- Jeffrey Court 3×12 Starry White Beveled.

Chandelier- Visual Comfort Venetian – Others: here, here, here, here, here, here, here & here.

Guest Bathroom

This is the downstairs guest bath which could very well be used as an in-law suite. Pike Properties wanted to keep it a little more formal and elegant by bringing in the brushed brass fixtures and picking a furniture vanity with more traditional lines and trim. Plus, just wait until you see the shower! Paint color is Benjamin Moore Moonshine.

Vanity- Allen and Roth Perrella 37 inch – Similar: here & here.

Mirror- Allen and Roth – similar here.

Faucet- Delta Dryden 8″ in Champagne Bronze.

Light- Park Harbor Mooretown.

Shower

In addition to the beauty of it, there are a handful of benefits to a zero-entry or curbless shower.

– They are functional. Anyone and everyone can get in and out of a zero entry shower and the risk or falling is minimal. No curb to trip over.

-They are easier to clean. Not as many tight areas and a seamless flow with your bathroom floor is a breeze to clean.

-You are left with clear visibility of the shower floor, so that pretty tile that was splurged on can actually be seen.

A curbless shower with hinged glass enclosure is a win-win and aesthetically pleasing and clean.

Wall Tile- Florida Tile Dorian Streamline 3×6 – similar here – Other Tiles: here, here, here, here, here & here.

Floor Tile- Jeffrey Court Carrara Bianco Mosaic similar here & here – Others: here & here.

Second Upstairs Guest Bath

Clean and simple, perfect for a kids bathroom! The classic floor tiles are timeless.

Floor Tile- Soho Studio Denim 1″ Vanilla Circles – similar here.

Vanity- Allen and Roth Presnell 37 inch in White – Others: here, here, here, here & here.

Mirrors: White Beveled Wall Mirror.

Faucet- Delta Dryden Widespread in Chrome.

Light- Kichler Braelyn.

Upstairs Guest Bath

The best part about this bathroom can be seen in the mirror. The dark navy subway tiled walk-in shower contrasts so well with the white around it and makes the shower a focal point of the room. Accenting a shower with dark tile is something more people should do!

Vanity- Allen and Roth Presnell 37 inch in White.

Faucet- Delta Dryden Widespread in Chrome.

Shower Tile- Hampton Steele Blue 4×24 – Others: here & here.

Floor Tile- Florida Tile Mosaic Art Epic 1×1 Hexagon White – similar here.

Light- Kichler Braelyn.

Laundry Room

Cabinet Paint Color- Benjamin Moore White Dove.

Laundry is typically not fun, but at least by adding some exciting and funky tile it can become just a bit more enjoyable. Storage is not a problem thanks to the full-height built in cabinet unit.

Floor Tile- Jeffrey Court – similar here.

Homework Nook

Tired of the kids homework cluttering the kitchen counter, dining table, or coffee table in the living room? A great solution is a dedicated spot for homework, and there is just about no better way to create that than what you see here. A custom built-in desk with spots for two chairs and plenty of storage is topped with Aspen CQ Quartz making for the fanciest and most perfect spot to get homework done. This is also a wonderful spot for crafting. Library sconces provide great lighting, so no need for desk lamps. Lastly, no one wants to stare at a blank wall when thinking about a algebra problem, so the wallpaper accent is just what the teacher ordered!

Cabinet Paint Color- Benjamin Moore Gray Owl.

Wallpaper- Graham and Brown Innocence Gray.

Sconces- Savoy House Morland in Matte Black – similar here & here.

Chandelier

This chandelier by Kichler is located in the upstairs loft area.

Mudroom Drop Zone

Drop Zone Paint Color- Benjamin Moore Hale Navy.

Pike Properties believes that a drop zone can become a focal point and not just a spot to throw shoes, coats, and keys. The same custom cabinet maker that crafted the kitchen cabinets also made this piece. One of the first things you notice is the rich Walnut wood bench and live edge coat hook backing. The coat hook fixture puts a fun twist on a typical row of coat hooks in a drop zone. Cabinet and cubby space is abundant, as you’d expect.

Don’t miss the built-in dog bowls down in the lower corner with custom cut out dog done openings! The comfortable livability of dogs even went into the design and building of this residence.

Many thanks to the builder (& McKay!

How to Build Your Village: Toronto Edition

by Kira

I think every parent-to-be and new parent has heard the phrase "it takes a village". And it surely does. We weren't meant to give birth to babies on our own. Historically, family members and communities shared the role of raising children and supporting new families in recovering from birth and transitioning into parenthood.

I've worked with numerous families as they find their footing as new parents. Many times, I’ve been told that the lack of community support came as a surprise. Surprising, yes. But all too common. What happens when our friends are sprawled across huge cities? When you're the first of your friends to have a baby? When your parents live across an ocean? When your partner goes back to work, and you find yourself completely alone with your new baby, in the middle of winter?

As the support from the first month postpartum dwindles, it is all too common to feel overwhelmed by the demands of a new baby and feel quite alone.

It can be hard to build a village, and it's perfectly okay to spend lots of time at home if that's what you need. These suggestions aren’t meant as a list of “shoulds”, but rather options and ideas to connect with other parents and engage in stimulating activities for baby.

Prenatal groups, fitness, classes: Building community during pregnancy is so valuable. Getting to know other pregnant people helps ensure that you know other people with similarly aged babies, and increases your web of people to ask your questions or share your concerns with.

Support groups and therapy: I’m a firm believer that everyone benefits from therapy at all points in their lives. Particularly in the perinatal period, when it is so normal to experience a range of complicated emotions, good and bad. Seeing a therapist or joining a support group is an amazing way to navigate the unfamiliar emotional terrain of early parenting. Not to mention that perinatal mental health professionals happily welcome your baby to appointments.

Fitness classes: There are plenty of Baby & Me Yoga classes (like the PWYC one I teach at Yoga Village!) and fitness classes across the city. There’s an awesome directory that you can check out with listings of places offering pre and postnatal movement, and the City of Toronto offers a number of affordable postnatal classes.

Educational groups and circles: There are all sorts of classes geared towards new parents, such as Wholeplay, with topics such as baby massage, baby sign language and introducing solids. Part education, part opportunity to meet other families in the neighbourhood. My personal favourite is the Toronto Public Library Baby Time, which offers songs and stories geared towards babies 0-18 months.

Drop ins: There are a number of drop ins around the city with various programs, caregiver support and space hang out with baby and be around other babies and parents. The College Montrose Children’s Place is an example of an amazing drop in that I have enjoyed many times.

Online communities: Leaving the house is sometimes impossibly hard and ultimately, not worth the stress. Almost every neighbourhood in the city has some sort of parent or buy and sell groups these days, and some, like Postpartum Support Toronto, are geared towards parents supporting each other emotionally. There are also tons of great Instagram accounts like Take Back Postpartum, Postpartum Progress and 4th Trimester Bodies focused around new parenthood and postpartum.

We can’t place all of the responsibility on new parents to build their villages. How can we expect someone who’s sleep deprived, overwhelmed and juggling all of the demands of parenthood to reach out and initiate every form of contact to the outer world? If you have a friend or family member who recently had a baby (whether you have one or not), give them a call and check in. See what they need. Weekday afternoons can make great times to visit new parents whose partner (if they have one) have gone back to work, and it’s the end of a long day at home with baby. Ask if you can hold baby while they shower. If they need help preparing a meal. It takes a village and ultimately, it’s everyone’s responsibility to build that village.

Benefits of Flexible Showings

More Potential Buyers: Accommodating various schedules allows more buyers to see your home.

Quicker Sales: Increased access leads to more showings, which can translate to quicker offers.

Positive Buyer Experience: A flexible showing schedule makes the process smoother for buyers, leaving a good impression.

Tips for Implementing Flexible Showings

Use Technology: Consider virtual tours for buyers unable to visit in person.

Be Available: Keep your home ready for showings at various times, including evenings and weekends.

Communicate with Your Agent: Keep your agent informed about your availability to coordinate showings effectively.

Consider Cash Offers

In certain circumstances, selling to an investor or for cash can expedite the process.

Benefits of Cash Offers

Quick Transactions: Cash transactions typically close faster than traditional sales.

Less Hassle: Cash buyers are often looking for properties "as-is," which can save you time and effort on repairs and staging.

Reduced Risk: There is less risk of the sale falling through since cash buyers don’t need financing.

Finding Cash Buyers

Real Estate Investors: Reach out to local real estate investors who may be looking for properties to flip or rent.

Wholesalers: Work with real estate wholesalers who specialize in finding cash buyers for properties.

Conclusion

Selling your house fast in Grand Junction, regardless of market conditions, is achievable with the right approach. By understanding the local market, preparing your home, setting the right price, employing effective marketing strategies, and potentially collaborating with real estate professionals, you can navigate the selling process smoothly.

Lincoln Square, situated on the North Side of the city of Chicago, is among 77 distinct Chicago neighborhood areas. It incorporates the smaller sized neighborhoods:

Ravenswood

Ravenswood Gardens

Bowmanville

Budlong Woods

and Lincoln Square

In the 1920s, the University of Chicago separated the City into area areas, one of which was Lincoln Square, which included the existing Ravenswood community. Although sometimes being called using those other designations, the Lincoln Square name was made official in 1925.

Approximately 44K people live in the neighborhood with over 1,000 small to medium size companies. You can get there suing the Brown Line of the ‘L’. The community’s borders are defined by Bryn Mawr and Peterson Ave. on the North, Montrose Ave. on the South, Ravenswood Ave. on the East and the Chicago River on the West. The are consist mostly of the single family and small multi-unit structures. A lot of those properties are masonry and require periodical tuckpointing and other service to maintain their sound integrity.

The heart of Lincoln Square is at the junction of Lawrence, Western and Lincoln Ave. You’ll find a wide variety of dining establishments and stores on Lincoln Ave going South from the six-corner junction. Lincoln Square is traditionally referred to as a greatly German influenced and inhabited community, and in the past several years also welcoming the Thai culture.

Lincoln Square is also a place that holds variety of festivals and live music events on seasonal basis. One of the very well-known ones is the Apple Fest, that brings the neighborhood together in celebration of the beginning of fall. Every summer, the Lincoln Square organizes the Square Roots Festival, dedicated to German culture.

Sometimes it feels like tradesmen are not very interested in taking our business. However, Ed made me feel like a valued customer. Because we wanted to do some foundation planting before it got too cold, Ed scheduled us only about 10 days after we signed the deal. They did a terrific job for a better price than the other quotes I got. They even did some extra work at no charge to remove some paint off the brick where a gutter used to hang. A couple of neighbors stopped to complement us on how great the house looked. Then, my customer satisfaction got even better. We had a storm a couple days after the tuckpointing was done. The front gate post is bolted onto the front of the house and that cedar fence post snapped off. Of course they had not tuckpointed behind the fence post, so now that much lighter mortar color was exposed. So they came back at no charge within a week and tuckpointed that spot. I have never written a Yelp review before, but I want to express how pleased I am. This small house got treated like a big deal (which it is to me). read less

My client and her siblings, also with impairments, were so happy with John from Edmar and selected him right off the bat, even though his estimate was higher than the other estimate they received. Edmar wound up giving them a discount, which made the cost come down a bit, which made the client happy. Not only did John and his crew offer to fix the roof, they were able to fix other things in the home, such as putting in drywall and painting the ceiling to seal the crack, installing two new light fixtures and two smoke detectors, installing a new screen door and fixing an old garage door that would not close properly and covering some holes in the wall. We asked John if he could select/purchase the light fixture/smoke detector and factor the cost into the contract, which he was able to accommodate, which made it so much more convenient for the client, who would have needed help to do such. While the work was being done, the client kept asking John for other things that they wanted fixed, which he did even though they were not in the contract. The other things were paid for separately, but this goes to show the company's ability to accommodate people with disabilities who do not understand how these things usually work. As her case manager, I am grateful for his patience, sense of humor and treatment of them as any other individual and for not taking advantage of them, as others might have done in this situation (and have done in the past). In my opinion, he and his crew went above and beyond and the client is very happy with the work and plan to use him again in the future, as I would. read less

I really appreciated his honesty and he even contacted the painter for me who followed-up the very next day. Great service! read less

He was VERY professional and you could tell he has years of experience under his tool belt, and knew exactly what I wanted. He got back to me within the same day and scheduled an appointment for the next day. *Considering that some companies and contractors didn't have the professinalism or decency to call me back or wouldn't show up to our meeting, we were already off to a great start. Then here comes the best part - compared to the other estimates/bids I got, Edmar's was the most straight forward and cost efficient as opposed to the competition. Not only that, but I felt at ease choosing them given how long they've been in the business. And even at a decent price, they did some 5-star quality work, I was very impressed. The guys who did the work were all professional and they left the work site spotless each day. Very satisfied with their work. I'll certainly be using them again when I need more repairs on my building, and would highly recommend to friends, family, and fellow Yelpers. read less

I hired them to come and redo the siding, soffits, gutters, and downspouts on the addition of my 1927 Mediterranean-inspired brick Tudor in Highland Park. The workers were incredibly polite and cleaned up after themselves every day. They greeted me in the morning and said goodbye at the end of the day (with confirmation of next step/part of work plan). The work as far as we can tell is impeccable. The calking around the vertical seams and lengths of hardi board were very well done and even. I’m in the midst of a backyard renovation. Edmar Corp. made sure to check with the deck guys about some questions they had that might impact their job. The people in the office were really quick to respond to my emails and any questions. I’m also a good communicator, so I don’t usually have issues with this. Who knows if the good communication requires a good client. The work ended up better than I expected. It was one of the few times wit my very old, brick home where I felt like the work actually was worth maybe more than what I paid. Every single thing didn’t go 100% there’s always room for improvement, but in terms of these types of companies I give them an A+ See some before during after photos. Really happy! read less

After talking to a few tuck pointing companies it was obvious that Edmar Corporation was the one. Ed came to our home and I knew by his body language and his confidence that my project was going to go smooth. I am 59 years old and have been around the block a few times and can usually tell if something isn't right about a person and their company. I gladly signed the contract and a couple of weeks later his crew came out and did an excellent job on my home. They were all business when they came. Got right down to working immediately. No Smoking , No Bullshitting, No goofing around . Just very professional and extremely hard working. All the areas were spotless when they left. They respected my home. Can't ask for much more than that. I never take the time to write this kind of stuff. But I am so happy with their work that i want to tell the world. read less

The porch was old and I should have it fixed long time ago… so now I was facing complete demolition and rebuilding from scratch. I called Ed and we met at the building, followed by his architect in the next few days. Once we got the plans, EDMAR took care of the permits, and I had my brand new porch built within the next few days. They also met with the building inspector for the final, and a few days after that my violation was gone. Thanks Ed! Great work! read less

For the past five days I had a crew of 5 working on my 3 story building in Chicago. I have to admit it was neglected and in a very bad shape since no work has been done on it for decades… it’s probably close to 100 years old. It’s a brick structure, with 3 chimneys that had holes in it and every time it rained my basement was flooding. There are 14 windows with steel beams that needed replacement due to heavy rust, this also involved partial rebuilding of walls above those beams. My last problem was the wall section that sticks above flat roof surface, I think they call it “parapet wall” or something, which has disintegrated almost completely and basically required full rebuilding. I just wanted to say “Thank you” for all the work that was done on my house and recommend Ed (the owner of EDMAR) to everyone looking for a good mason. read less

Most recently I hired them to powerwash and tuckpoint one of my condos and I couldn’t be happier with the results. It actually looks like a brand new building even though it’s over 80 years old. The owner of the company Ed Marciszewski is a really straight forward guy and won’t waste your time. He’s been in the business for a long time and knows everything there is to know about masonry and building repair in the Chicagoland area. I trust Edmar with all my repairs and will definitely continue to use them in the future. read less

We had to reconstruct our brick and wrought iron fence after the garbage truck relocated it to the ground. It wasn't a huge project and many of the masonry companies we called wouldn't even come and give an estimate because "it wasn't worth it". We found Edmar on yelp and the experience was awesome from start to finish. When I called to schedule an estimate, Ed came to my house within 48 hours and arrived at exactly the time he said he would arrive. He thoroughly inspected the damage and found other damage that other masons had completely missed. We were provided a written estimate on the spot. When I called Ed to give the go ahead a few days later, he was able to get our job done that week. Once again, he arrived with his crew at exactly the time he had provided. The job was done perfectly within one day. Unfortunately, it is hard to find honest and trustworthy companies in construction. Edmar Corp. breaks every stereotype. Quality work and excellent service!! If you need masonry work, don't even both to call around - Just call Edmar. read less

I reviewed a number of companies and eventually settled on Edmar as they were clearly the most knowledgeable and the most experienced. I've found out the hard way that it's not always best to go with the cheapest proposal...had some contractors rebuild my chimney a while back only to have the mortar crack 5 years later (!!!) Edmar was not the cheapest, but you definitely get what you pay for, and when it comes to home repair, you want the job done right. I called to set up an appointment and Ed stopped by the next day to give me an estimate. I had some cracked bricks above my first story window and turns out the lintels needed to be replaced. Ed outlined how the job would be done and gave me an approximate amount of time it would take to complete (Turns out, he was right on target!) They replaced the lintels and rebuilt part of the wall using the same face brick as the rest of the house so it looked perfect. I cannot praise his workers enough--they were very competent, super respectful, and took the time to answer all of my questions. I will definitely be using Edmar again in the future. If you want the job done right the first time around, Edmar is your go to! read less

We needed some masonry repairs on our single family home in Lincoln Park and I called Edmar to give us a quote. Our chimney was in pretty bad shape—missing bricks and apparently a cracked concrete cap. Ed stopped by to check it out and told us that the chimney had to be rebuilt above the roofline. He counted the number of bricks needed, in addition to a new cap and replacement clay tiles. We got a great price and hired Edmar for the job. The crew that came out was very skilled and hardworking. They even tuckpointed a few areas around the house where the mortar was cracked and loose (without an extra charge). After a couple days, we had a brand new chimney and some fresh tuckpointing. I got more than my money’s worth working with Edmar and have recommended them to my neighbors. Thanks Edmar! read less

Thus, it was no different with me when I asked Edmar to stop a leak that had ruined a bedroom. To do so, they had to remove the capstones of a parapet in the corner of my 4-floor townhouse. It require their building a scaffold to access the area and elevating all the materials needed for the repairs. When they were done, they had installed a waterproof seal, flashing, wicking -- all that had not been there before. With new mortar and properly sloped capstones (another improvement), they were done by 4pm. It was a one-day job! I'm very pleased with the work, the results, and the price.

In order to attain inside look of the kitchen we wanted, we needed to brick some windows in and maybe move the door and also repair the chimney. I called a few companies on yelp and in discussing quote and scope of work, Edmar came out ahead, the owner met with my husband, he showed up very prepared with his ladder and binoculos to take a close look at the chimey and he had very great ideas as to which windows he will suggest we brick in and what to do with the door, he gave us a lot to think about in a good way, he also gave us the quote on site, who does that, it was fabulous, since we had previously talked to other companies, we felt good enough to sign the contract and have them start work immediately. He suggested replacing more than just the first few layers of the chimney and pointed out that the old ones will crumble soon underneath the new one. He moved our back door from off the kitchen to off the family room which we like so much better because we have more cabinet space now and he used some of the brick from the new opening to patch the old opening. He also tried his best to match the old brick, he did a pretty good job, so much that you wouldnt really know it from the outside unless it was pointed out. His guys were in and out in a jiffy. point is, although he wasn't the cheapest, he was the most thoughtful and we felt his job was quality without a doubt. He also did some crack repairs on the outside of our property, he removed the bricks and relayed them with morter, patching everything. The only thing was that there are some morter stains on a few bricks in that one area where they repaired the cracks that my husband is not happy about, and he point it out every day now.

Compared to all the other contractors that stopped by, Ed gave the most information about why we have the issue and how it would be repaired. He also gave us the estimate right away. The price was great, but we had to wait a couple weeks since it was busy season and our project was small. Ed's team finally came by a week ago, and the job was done thoroughly. Everything looks great and they cleaned up afterwards. The price and quality was great, we'll definitely work with Edmar Corp in the future. Thanks Ed! read less

It came to our attention that there were leaks on the ceilings of the top floor apartments, and we called a number of contractors to come check out the situation. Ed fit us in for an emergency quote the next day. This was a rare find as most of the other contractors we called didn’t even bother getting back to us. After taking a look at our roof, Ed explained to us how serious the job was and how the damage came about. The firewall and the parapet wall were both in really bad shape and needed to be rebuilt. The firewall and parapet wall were both crooked and the bricks were loose. To stop the ceilings from leaking, we needed to have the roofing redone as well. Ed was very thorough with explaining how the repairs were going to be done and after comparing a few more bids, we decided that Edmar Corp was best suited to handle our repair needs. They were able to schedule a start date pretty quickly and were flexible about working on Saturday. The workers were very professional and took great caution about ensuring the safety of the surrounding buildings and set up tarps to prevent debris from getting around. They got the firewall and parapet wall up in a few days, and were even able to match the bricks of the parapet wall to the rest of the building. Ed called and checked in with us every couple days and let us know where they were in the process. Our condo association was very happy with the work and highly recommends Edmar. read less

Peter the project manager came out to our building to give an estimate, and answer all follow up questions before signing the detailed contract. Every person at Edmar responds to all calls, questions, and appointments quickly and are always on time. Once Peter walked us through the scope of work and came in with reasonable and fair pricing we signed with Edmar over four other companies we had gotten estimates from. When the work began, Edmar promptly got us the building permit, certificates of insurance and showed up on time every day. They replaced almost 500 bricks in our back stairwell, did extensive tuck pointing around the building, and major work on our chimney. The building is safer and in much better shape now! The work was done quickly, they always cleaned up after every work day, and were professional and polite. Any questions we had were answered immediately. They even came back to make sure we didn’t have any more concern areas, and did some touch ups in areas that had not been on the original scope of work. Edmar goes above and beyond to make sure their clients are happy, the work is done right, and that their pricing is fair. We will hire them again for other projects and highly recommend this company to anyone who appreciates communication, good craftsmanship, and honest pricing! read less

The first project was to rebrick part of a doorway that had been damaged by a forklift. His price was reasonable and the work was done properly. The second was tuck pointing and water sealing an exterior wall. The price was reasonable and the work was done just as I had requested. The third project was a difficult one, it required scaffolding and high up work that was quite difficult to get to. It required rebricking. Again his price was reasonable and the work was done properly. All work was completed quickly. I had other quotes for much more money and some contractors trying to upsell me for more work that they promoted as necessary. I was satisfied with Edmar and have just given this company another project. When I find a worthy contractor I stick with him/her. Edmar is worthy. John F read less

I was pleased with the work that was completed. I had 4 other companies come to give me quotes on tuckpointing my house on all sides and they were the most competitive and in line with what I was looking for. My complaint is more with the communication aspect of things. Everything was good up until I sent the contract in. I had asked when they might be able to start when first sending the contract in and was told probably the next week. I heard nothing for the next week. I sent an email and asked again, being told they would let me know asap. I heard nothing for the next week and a half. I sent another email saying that if I could not find out when they would be able to come out, I would start looking for another contractor. I then heard back that it would likely be in 2-3 weeks. The next morning, people showed up outside my door. Fortunately, that ended up working out fine but there appears to be a lack of communication between people in the front office. I was called twice by people after the project was finished to find out how I wanted to pay my balance as well. So long story short, service good, communication needs some improvement. read less

If your priority is choosing a company you can trust, expecting the job done well without doubt, you should hire Edmar. If your priority is having done with least money, I don't think you need to call this company. There are many bad companies out there who know how to talk to you, but don't know how to work done. Especially, if you look for mason or concrete repair/rebuild, Edmar is the right place to call. My comment was from two times experiences in major repairs. read less

The work I hired him for was to repair my chimney on our house in Northbrook. Ed came out to give me an estimate and, like other yelpers have mentioned, it was clear that Edmar was very experienced in this line of work. Compared to other bids, the estimate was less expensive and did not tag on any additional charges. Ultimately, I decided to rebuild the chimney which took about 2 days. The masons were respectful of our property and cleaned up afterwards. They did a great job and I've already recommended them to my neighbors! read less

He gave us an honest quote for the work that needed to be done, and did not add unnecessary upcharges that other masonry contractors said we needed. The owner of the firm came out himself multiple times to ensure that the work was done correctly. He personally guaranteed his work, and when we had an issue some time later he came out and fixed it at no cost. He is a man of his word and I highly recommend using Edmar. read less

We asked 3 contractors to give us some idea about the extent of our problem and two of them just called with prices without even explaining what’s covered. Edward form EDMAR Corporation met with one of our board members, checked interior and exterior, and explained all our options in detail. The next day we received his written quote with everything itemized, so we can present it at the board meeting. It’s an extensive project but we are hoping to have it completed in two phases by the end of this year. Very knowledgeable people! read less

I rarely write reviews unless I am really impressed. City inspectors came and identified issues with the tuck-pointing and window lintels so I did some calling around to get some estimates. Ed showed up right on time for the appointment which was much appreciated. Also I made a point of not saying anything about what the inspectors had said to see what he would see. Ed pointed our word for word what the inspectors had seen. He took the time to explain to me exactly why one lintel would need to be replace and not another. He also showed me where bricks would need to be replaced, and where not. Finally he showed me where the tuck-pointing would need to be completely done and where it could be touched up. Most importantly, my building is red brick, and need a special mixture strength, Ed was on point. The windows which are the most difficult part on the work were completed in two days, and a third day to finish the tuck-pointing. The guys work like a well-oiled machine, the work fast and the building looks brand new. I cannot express how happy I am with the experience and the completed work. I will be calling them in the future for other jobs and will gladly refer them to my friends, family, and neighbors. read less

I had gotten quite a few recommendations and estimates from different local companies. Ed and Peter with Edmar came out and gave some great improvement suggestions that other companies did not, in addition to providing a reasonable estimate on the spot. I felt comfortable and trusting in Ed and my wife and I decided to use Edmar. Ed was easy to get ahold of and didn't make you feel like he rushing to get you off the phone. Scheduling was clear with Jennifer in the office, who is very nice and professional, and the on-site foreman quickly took care of the neighbor's concerns about their fence without hesitation. The crew performed quality brick work and I look forward to using Ed and Edmar again in the near future to handle our other parapet issues, as budget allows. It is very nice to have an owner give a written warranty with their estimate and stand behind their work, be so easy to get ahold of and so knowledgeable as well. You don't come across this often enough it seems. We look forward to using Edmar again! read less
