Tony did a great job with our repair work from a flooded garden apartment. He does high quality work at a fair price and is very good at communicating throughout the whole process read more

We recently had another General Contractor do some work at our Chicago-area office and that company did a terrible job. We hired 2 Guys Construction to come and do some general brush up work to at least make the sloppy work the other company did, look aesthetically better. I wish we could hire them to redo it all! 2 Guys returned my call immediately, were very friendly, prompt and did a great job for us. Thank you! I will be calling 2 Guys first, next time we need any work done at our Chicago-area branch office! read more

I recently worked with Tony on an estimate for some drywall work that needed to be done my condo unit, since the neighbors above me are negligent with maintenance. I needed to find a drywall professional, since the preferred vendors in my list had a minimum that could not be met with this particular project. I reached out to Tony via Yelp and he responded quickly through Yelp messaging. Once we established a relationship, he asked for some details, my contact information, and a few photos of the damage. I followed up with him over the phone and discussed the sitaution in details. He was eager to work with me and suggested an estimate, which we coordinated over text since my tenant currently resides in the unit. Tony was prompt in his estimate and quick turnaround with a quote, which was necessary in that as a landlord, it's optimal to resolve issues like this swiftly. I was able to submit to my HOA, whom was comparing it to another competitive quote. My current HOA is very ingenuous. Even though Tony had great service and seems to do great work, they chose another contractor due to a price difference of ~$180. Long story short - I would have chosen Tony over the other contractor if I had a choice in the financial decision. read more

I hired Tony to finish the drywall repair in the ceiling above kitchen cabinets in an apartment unit I own. He responded very quickly to my call and was responsive in setting up the appointment. He asked me to send him some pictures of the work to be done with a description and he provided me an estimate. He and his partner arrived at the agreed time and finished the work in a couple hours. Nice job and didn't leave a mess. I would hire him again. read more

Needed some ceiling work done and contacted 2 guys. Quick response and scheduling (got the work done within a week). Very reasonable price. Excellent communication from start to finish. Respectful of my home. Even popped in after work was done to help with a very minor issue. Would definitely use them again. read more

I spoke to Tony about doing some work for me and my clients. I have been realtor for 23 years so my standards and expectations are high, and Tony has met and exceeded those. I only wish I had met Tony sooner, I would have saved a lot of time and money... read more

So, My last review from January was 5 stars. I said I would hire him again. And I did just that. GREAT job, again. Plumbing, dry wall, light switches, painting, removing and replacing ducts, everything. Tony is extremely knowledgeable, HONEST, and fair. One of the good ones. read more

Antonio was great! Showed up in a mask, keeping safety a number one priority right now. Communication was perfect! I reached out on a Saturday night through yelp and he responded right away whereas his competition got back to me Monday afternoon at the earliest. He was booked for a few weeks but something opened up and he was able to service sooner than expected which was great! I just needed a quick tile shower floor redone and he was able to get it done in a few hours. This was for my tenants and I wanted to make sure they had a shower they could stand in sooner than later so his quick response and job completion was very much appreciated. Also the fact that he took Venmo instead of making me head out in a winter storm was a huge added bonus! Will use 2 Guys Construction again. read more

Easy to deal with. Good response time. The job was done well and quickly. They were willing to do some last minute add in's to tile job

Excellent in every way. Tony is such a personable guy, came on time to do some drywall, window trim, insulation, and paint repair and knocked it out in one day. Really favorable pricing, super easy to deal with and talk to, and most importantly, put our house back together in the way that it was before! Really great experience all around and will be our go-to handy service for our future needs. A total pro at drywall is hard to find! read more

I reached out for a small repair with my screen door (closing mechanism brackets broke) and got a response right away. Tony came out personally and completed the job within 30 mins (including a quick trip to Home Depot for supplies). He was easy to work with and price was fair. I will be using them again for other minor house repairs. read more

I recently sent out a request to several handymen / electricians / etc. on Yelp for a quote to install an outlet in my water closet for a bidet toilet seat. Firstly, 2 Guys Construction were the most communicative of the bunch, responding quickly and with a very reasonable quote. After scheduling my appointment, Tony arrived promptly and was extremely friendly and got straight to work. He did a great job, finished in a very reasonable amount of time - including a parts run! - and I could not be more pleased. 2 Guys Constructions can perform a wide variety of household tasks, so I'd encourage anyone needing work down to please give them a chance. I'm considering having a barn door installed, some touch-up paint work, as well as grout fixing, and Tony will certainly be my first choice. read more

We had an unexpected leak from our garden unit's ceiling. Tony promptly responded to our request for a quote to open the ceiling (removing drywall), as well as to eventually repair once the source of the leak was identified. He was even able to replace the wax ring on the upper unit's toilet, which was the source of the leak. Throughout the process he was responsive and accommodating of our scheduling restraints. He followed up in between the stages of repair to make sure that the plumbing issues had resolved completely and that the ceiling dried out. He was on-time for all scheduled jobs and cleaned the work area thoroughly. Final replacement of the drywall looked great. We are planning to work with Tony and his team again in the future! read more

Antonio did a great job from beginning to end. Not only was he attentive, but also down to earth as well. Was always in good communication and making sure that my best interests were in mind. As on any job, multiple estimates were obtained from various companies. Most others were condascending and felt it was a waste of time. Some were professional and saw many details, but way too expensive for the job that was at hand. Antonio fulfilled the job in good time and when something was not anticipated which happens sometimes, he immediately notified me to let me know and informed me what he advised to fix the unforeseen circumstance. All in all, I would definitely highly recommend Antonio & 2 Guys Construction! read more

I contacted antonio through yelp and he quickly contacted me back with a price estimate for my small project which I really appreciated. Once we confirmed the details, Antonio came out and did the job. He was on time, very easy to talk to, and even went to Home Depot during the project to fix the materials because I incorrectly measured a component. The job he did was fantastic and I would recommend him to anyone. read more

I was looking for someone to put up a new light fixture in my double height entryway and reached out to Yelp for help. I got connected with Antonio, he was the first to respond and said he could do it. The area he had to work in was quite challenging because it was super narrow and he was 18 feet in the air on a ladder with nothing to hang on to. He completed the job in a short amount of time and it looks perfect, all with only one hand. I have to give extra, extra credit to him. I put my criteria into Yelp along with my location and they sent my information out, I did not select who it went to. During the course of our conversations Antonio obviously realized that I was a ways out of his service area but he said that he said he would do it and he did. Most guys would have said "sorry find someone else". So I learned he is a man of his word. Look at his service area and if you are in it, you just found your new handyman. Thanks Antonio! read more

Tony and his team were amazing. After an unexpected leak in my roof, Tony was able to install new dry wall in a structurally complicated space. He also brought in an amazing tiler. The end product was phenomenal. From start to finish, Tony was professional, communicative, and committed to a high quality of work. I would use him again in a heartbeat. read more

A very pleasant experience- I mean as pleasant as needing a contractor can be. Quick, good communication, and surprisingly affordable.

So we were in need of some minor fixing around the place, replacement faucet, grout work, door just stuff. Antoino came out at my earliest convenience, got the work done and was fast and reasonable. I will be keeping him on speed dial! Work done was quality and he cleaned up after he was done. I will update if something goes wrong or when I use them again but so far I'm pleased. I like giving the "little guy" a chance and they came through in a big way read more

Tony did a great job with our wall and tile repair after replacing a bathtub faucet. We have an old house, and the work was done on a 30+ year addition so who knows what's there. Tony assessed, solved the puzzle, and did an excellent job for the right price! Thank you, sir! read more

I needed a ceiling fan removed and a new one installed. I called a few services and left messages, but when I called Tony, HE ANSWERED HIS PHONE. I know that sounds incredible, but there's more! He came over THE NEXT MORNING. He finished the job in short order with a fair price. Super nice guy, too. read more

I am very impressed with this company. Excellent work at a reasonable price. On time, and, returned texts and answered the phone. Easy to work with.Had a couple fixtures put on the wall, also a door frame fixed where the bottom had rotted. Also, had some painting done. They cleaned up everything when finished. Tony even took the time to play with the dog. Win win. read more

Tony and his subcontractors have all been great to work with. He does a great job, communicates well, and is above all, honest. He made sure that any issues that came up during the jobs were resolved and worked with my schedule when things were urgent. Work completed included 2 walls of wallpaper; removing built-in shelving, repairing the wall, and installing new shelves; and installation of a ceiling fan. He's currently trying to find me someone who can hang some intricate interior doors for me - he'd rather take the time to find someone who's ideal for the job than go out of his area of expertise, which is a lot better than I can say for other contractors I've spoken to. For any other work that comes up in my home, I'll definitely be calling Tony first. He also brought me an empanada once, and if that's not quality service I don't know what is. read more

Tony is excellent, he was able to assist me right away in completing a bathroom remodeling left undone by a previous contractor. I love my new bathroom and the service and execution was superb! read more

Communication is great and quality of work is top notch! Tony was great to work with.

Tony and team did an awesome job on rehab on my 30 year old garage. Tony kept me informed and explained every step from paint options to fixing the rotting wood moulding. It looks like a brand new garage. They were on time, cleaned up and and proficient. Definitely will be using them again. read more

It's been hard finding help this summer. Fortunately, I found Tony. He was easily accessible via phone and text. He's very personable and nice. He provided me the quote over text. I had him out to paint a kitchen ceiling and secure a mantle shelf at my rental. The work was done in a timely manner. Plus, he fixed more things that I hadn't originally asked him for (did it while the paint was drying) I paid the quoted amount via Zelle. My tenant and I are very happy with his flexibility, his skill, and the final result. Thank you Tony for helping us out! read more

We asked him to come out and look at some gaps in baseboards, around conduits, etc. that our exterminator had suggested we fill after a tenant reported she thought there was a rodent in her apartment. We already had the exterminator put out traps and bait. He then suggested we get a carpenter to replace missing baseboard, quarter rounds, etc in closets and fill gaps around pipes under the sink, and in mechanical HVAC areas. Tony came out with a bag of spray foam and apparently some rat poison, but no carpentry tools. I specifically said several times that we have spare baseboard and quarter rounds in the basement, and asked him to review the areas and err on the side of overkill filling gaps rather than using just spray foam which rodents can chew through. He replied that he places rat poison in the spray foam -- which may kill them, but well after they have entered the premises, leaving a nice hole for future rodents. I mentioned repairing gaps several times using carpentry and he kept brushing it off, and literally was about to walk out when I had to remind him that he hadn't even filled all the gaps with the $10 can of spray foam he had brought with him. I decided to give up and get someone else to provide the carpentry service I had actually requested. Then the bill came. $250, including $38 for supplies? $250 for less than an hour's work in which he didn't do any carpentry at all and bought some spray foam to fill holes that I could have bought at Home Depot myself is kind of a ripoff. I have had people install doors, which has a bit of complexity to it, and charge me less than this. He was a nice guy, but I expected to get service that would go beyond what I could do myself, and even then $250 is a lot for an hour's work. I am an IT consultant, and I don't make $250 an hour! I suppose next time I will ask for a written job estimate and proposal for solution to the problem. Tony was very cordial but I don't feel he listened to me very well, and seemed not very focused on the job. I didn't request an exterminator, I wanted someone to do carpentry to block entry paths, so not sure why he brought rat poison, and apparently didn't bring any carpentry tools. I expected a consultation and some sort of suggestion as to how to approach the finished carpentry to solve the gap problem, not a stopgap measure, and I was pretty clear about this when talking with him, but he seemed to keep steering me toward only using the foam, which I could have done myself. I wanted a professional job, not a stopgap measure, and certainly don't think what he did was worth the amount he billed. He also was cash-only (Zelle or Venmo), and we expected to be able to use a credit card to pay, especially with a non-trivial billing amount. Cash transactions generally mean you really have no ability to contest the validity of any work or the charges. We will not be using his services again. read more

My rental unit was water damaged and the restoration contractor couldn't get the work done in time. So I searched on Yelp and found Tony, called him on Tuesday and he showed up on Thursday, got all the work done in just a couple hours even with some additional fixes. Would definitely hire him for future works and would definitely recommend him. Highly skilled, well priced, very responsive! read more

2 Guys was able to help me out in a pinch where we needed to deal with some aggressive water remediation steps. They helped identify where something that I had asked for actually wouldn't work properly (I had in mind specific baseboard that I wanted to use, but 2 Guys pointed out that a taller baseboard with a specific paint would look much better and be a more durable solution). I also had some pretty strict timing requirements that 2 Guys was able to work within. Will definitely go back to them again in the future! read more

I sent a message to this crew and received a call back regarding a tile issue I'm having. Even though i wasn't able to get into their schedule they gave me advice on how to finish my existing project and encouraged me to finish the job since i was almost there. They came across concerned with good quality work without overcharging people because they can which is what one always looks for in a contractor. So, although they didn't do my job I would definitely feel comfortable hiring them in the future. They didn't need to take the time to call me back or give advice but did. We need more of that kind of paying it forward attitude in this world. read more

There's so much I can say about Tony and I don't know where to start. He has truly been a blessing to me. I'm so glad that I found him. He's extremely knowledgeable and his work is very neat and clean. I also love that he takes him time to explain the situation and how he's going to fix it. Also, he can do just about anything. He's the perfect handyman! Whenever I discover an issue, I immediately reach out to Tony and he comes to my rescue. If you need any help with projects around your home or business, Tony is absolutely the one you should call. read more

Tony did great work for us. He was fast, reliable, and very knowledgeable. He did a variety of things for us - painted a bathroom, fixed drywall, put a complicated bed together. Highly recommended. We will definitely hire him again. read more

Needed some caulking done around the edge of my foundation. Tony got back in touch with me right away. He was great to work with; came right out and got the work done. Price was fair and below other estimates. He even took care of an extra bit of work while he was here. He'll be the first guy I call next time. read more

Tony was outstanding. We had an old fridge that was stuck between a wall and the counter, and we had multiple contractors come by to try to get it out with no success. We finally decided to take the wall down and hired Tony to do this. After inspecting the situation, Tony assured us we didn't need to take down the wall and that he could get it out--and he did! He also returned the next day, on short notice, to assist us with another matter. Tony is honest, professional, and responsive. I would highly recommend. read more

never got back to me. Kept asking guestions, when I responded just never got back. I don't want to deal with peoples who word is ?

Very easy to work with and they did a great job. I would recommend them for any type of construction project.

There doesn't seem to be any other way to tell Yelp about this. I was looking for a housecleaning service and Yelp, bizarrely, referred me here and to a senior home care service, neither of which has anything to do with cleaning my house. However, one guy at 2 Guys was kind enough to let me know about the misfire. The guy who wrote me was so polite and helpful that if I ever need a contractor I will call him first. Five stars for professionalism above and beyond. read more

Tony and his brother did a great job on a drywall repair and painting project that I hired them for. They were quick, efficient and had a reasonable price. I recommend them, and will definitely hire them again for future projects. Thanks guys! read more
