We had Robert & crew from Iron Rock D&B redo our kitchen recently. We went with stock cabinets that…read morewere painted a royal blue, white quartz counter-top with slight gold marbling, off-white back-splash, oak plank flooring and stainless steel appliances and the results are beautiful. There were challenges along the way, as with every project, but probably more so on ours because the house was 80 years old. The old kitchen was 50 years old so was totally gutted. Cabinet options were somewhat limited in our price range and we should have asked more questions regarding layout and functionality, which contributed to the slightly lower rating due to some of their limitations. Start to finish was almost 5 weeks. Workmanship was above average. They kept me informed of when they would be on-site and what they would be working on, so I would say communication was excellent in that regard. Bottom line, I would recommend Iron Rock D&B for your kitchen remodel. D&J Smith

When a start date that was agreed upon arrives, Robert comes up with excuse after excuse to postpone the project. After giving him ample opportunity to make this right, we decided to ask him to return our deposit so we could have another company complete the project. As of 2-18-24, we have not received anything from him. I will update this review if we ever get our deposit returned. Save yourself the headache and go with another contractor.

I contacted Capstone regarding a basement renovation after the recent severe storms and tornado in…read moreCrown Point, Indiana. Several friends and families had recommended the company based on their positive experiences, so I reached out hoping to receive an estimate for the work needed in my home. During my initial contact, I was immediately asked whether the project would be covered by insurance. I was told that the company typically does not prefer to take on insurance-related projects because their pricing may exceed what insurance will cover. I still requested that someone visit my home, assess the basement, and provide a quote. I was informed that someone would follow up with me. Instead, I later received a text message stating that Capstone was declining the job. Because I had been referred by previous customers, I asked whether the owner could contact me directly. I was then asked by text who had referred me, and I provided the names along with photos of their recent work. The following day, I was asked to send photos of my basement and the remediation work, which I did. After that, I received another text message stating again that the company was declining the job. I was disappointed that I was never provided an opportunity to receive an in-person assessment or a written quote, and I was not able to speak directly with the owners. All communication took place through text messages. Based on the interaction, it appeared that assumptions were made about my ability or willingness to pay outside of insurance coverage before anyone discussed the project with me in detail. Unfortunately, this experience left me with concerns about the level of customer service and professionalism I received. While others may have had positive experiences with Capstone, my experience was disappointing, and I hope future customers receive clearer communication, a fair opportunity for assessment, and more professional follow-up.

McCormack did an OUTSTANDING job on our home. We live in a historic area of Oak Park, IL where…read morethere are very specific requirements for restoring homes. John and his team were, hands down, the hardest working and most detailed contractors I have worked with. We originally hired them to install new windows and to replace our siding. They were so good that we added a new fence and a new front porch to the project. We, along with our neighbors, still have a hard time believing it's the same home! They arrived on time and worked each minute with little down time. Their price was competitive and they completely earned it! After the new windows were installed, we were required to install new window jams on the inside. I had already added two items to the project so McCormack had to come back to install new window jams after everything else was completed. I feared that I would get caught in a backlog of customers and that it would take a while to come back. NOPE. They returned when promised, which was so important because we were left without window treatments for 15 windows until they did! I would sincerely recommend McCormack Construction...I actually asked that they leave some business cards behind so that I could pass them along to others who inquire. I would not hesitate to hire them again in the future. I actually hope to have an opportunity to work together again someday.

This review is long over due..R Brand, Inc and especially LAUREN ERICK with whom I dealt with…read moreexclusively renovated 2 town houses that I owned In Tinley Park Il, before I sold them in the Brookside Glen Development. The 1st house was at 7725 Richardson Lane was a house of horrors after the renters who rented the property for 5 years DESTROYED IT! It was necessary to send in a hazmat crew before any renovations could begin to give you an idea of what we had to work with. I know that without Lauren Erick these 2 renovations could HAVE NEVER BEEN COMPLETED. Lauren's leadership, experience, and expertise was an invaluable part of this process. Lauren was constantly driving the process forward while very patiently explaining to me where we were on the time line, and constantly making recommendations..where the budget was, what was necessary and more importantly what WAS NOT necessary. For example...putting hardwood from the 1st floor on the stairs to the 2nd floor..."just put in carpeting..it will flow better to the 2nd floor that is carpeted...thats 2000-4000 dollars you do not need to spend" I learned very quickly that Lauren with her experience in these matters is to be listened to ALWAYS. The 2nd house that was renovated was at 8661 Ballycastle which needed significantly less improvements..however it was tight schedule that she made work so that everything was done in time for the listing Now, I haven' t even gotten around to telling you the good part yet. I HAVE NEVER MET LAUREN ERICK. I have never set foot in these properties. I don't even live in the USA. I live in Europe... all of our discussions were over the phone and whatsapp. I did ALL of this from Europe. NOW this is a testament to Lauren Erick's communication skills, and her ability to frame in your mind how the project IS going to look..what works what does not work... I self admittedly have zero visualization skills so I relied solely on her visual interpretation .
