Alex responded first, and was the only contractor who provided a specific quote for the work (everyone else sought to schedule time to review the project before providing a quote). Alex's reviews were pretty good and the quote was reasonable, so I chose to attempt to move forward with him. I sent him pictures of the project (which is small and very straightforward), and he changed the amount of the quote (warning sign #1). I chose not to dispute the revised quote and attempted to move forward with Alex. He said that he could do the job on Thursday and would text me on Wednesday night to provide a timeframe. Wednesday night came and went and I received no text from Alex (warning sign #2). On Thursday, I reached out to Alex, stating that I guess the work wasn't going to happen today. Alex replied that "a pipe had burst" and he apologized, but provided nothing further in the way of rescheduling (warning sign #3). At 7pm that evening, I received a text from Alex stating that he could get to me in 1-2 hours. Again, this was at 7pm. I thought this really odd that he wanted to, out of the blue, come to my apartment building to do the work this late in the day. I asked "tonight?". He responded at 8:49pm saying he had just finished his job and was looking to come by - at 9:00 at night! I told him it was too late and stated that I needed some advance notice (again, I live in an apartment building) (warning sign #4). The next day, Friday, I received a random text from Alex saying he needed to cancel with me, meaning he was letting go of my job. I told him that was fine because I had already moved on and I also advised him that the review would not be a good one. To this he replied "Broo". "Don't be like that." What happened here is that Alex likely felt that my job was too small for him, and he didn't want to waste his time on a smaller job when he had perhaps booked other, larger jobs. If that was the case, he could have told me this sooner, instead of LYING ABOUT IT, and stringing me along, having me end up wasting a week. So, this is a cautionary tale. It's about integrity. If that's something you value, then you should really think twice about working with this guy. This is not a review about the quality of Alex's work, but his character, as we never got as far as the work part. And, Alex, if you dispute any of what I stated here, I will update this review with screenshots of the text string.

The line item quote was easy to understand, comprehensive, with no hidden fees, and as we added new items to our project, he totally kept us up-to-date on what our budget was. We are so glad we chose Artisian! They gutted our kitchen, took down walls, built new ones, updated the electrical, rerouted our HVAC vent, and painted. Adrian discussed any issues that came up, while also giving us great solution options. They were clean, organized, fun to work with and meticulous in their work. Always on time and on schedule with the whole project. Along the way we had additional needs, and Adrian & ChiChi were always willing to help us with a smile!! We had an out-of-town emergency towards the end of our project and we left our house in their very trustworthy hands. When we arrived home and the project was complete we were beyond thrilled with the outcome and how beautiful it was. We cannot wait to start our next project so we can work with them again!

I had made all the measurements but was afraid it wouldn't be exactly precise. It seems no one wants to install Ikea, go figure... ha. Anyway, I had started out with a different company (a friend of a friend) and that job ended with the demo because they had literally walked in and doubled the price they had quoted me, not to mention they said they'd worked on Ikea projects but it was obvious they hadn't. So I called Artisan and was able to set up a date right away. They honored the price quote they originally gave me months ago, minus the demo, which I greatly appreciated. Great start! There were a few snafus due to the nature of my space (a loft in an old building), but Adrian always came up with a solution to solve the problem. They were efficient and pleasant to have around. Always on time, made sure they cleaned up, and kept me in the loop regarding everything they were doing. I'm very happy with my kitchen and really appreciated the dedication and obvious attention to detail Adrian and the team provided. I highly recommend and wouldn't hesitate to contact them again for any home improvement project.

I hired Nick's for my employer, Immanuel Lutheran Church of Evanston, in June when the church…read moreoffice needed a permanent A/C unit installation. Nick responded to my email inquiry within a day, came out to view the site, and provided a proposal upon my and the Church Council's request. It was an installation which required constructing side panels of the A/C unit which would be secure and weather-proof. While not a difficult project, the work ended up being intricate and time-consuming. Nick worked efficiently and was meticulous about making sure the unit fit securely. We were very pleased with the quality of the installation. He even saw our church exterior door hinges were slightly loose and fixed those as well. Nick Gosser is very professional, responsive to customer inquiries on a timely basis, and works quickly and efficiently. He is detail-minded, an experienced handyman, takes pride in his work and is reasonably priced. It wasn't easy to find someone to come out and do this project because it's small and I had to contact 6 different handyman services. (Some I never heard back and I do appreciate a couple who said they were too busy at the moment.) I highly recommend Nick's Handyman Service as he "checks all of the boxes" in terms of delivering quality results.

Spring came and they never returned to paint. After several calls and discussions about what "Paint as needed" written on the contract means. Today they came back to paint.
