    Before Guest Bathroom. Old professional photo from the listing

    We selected Lorenzo and his team to remodel our bathrooms based on prior reviews and from Lorenzo touting the quality of his teams work. They did not disappoint! Danny, Jose, and Ringo were awesome. Always friendly, communicative, and kept the workspace clean at the end of each day. The workmanship is top notch and attention to detail is incredible. Each time we walk into the bathrooms I'm still shocked at how nice they are. Huge credit also goes to Kara, the interior designer, on the project. Her expertise helped get what we imagined into reality. Without her they would not have turned out as beautiful. If quality is your concern and you're ok with spending a little more for it, Lorenzo and Archetype is the way to go. In addition, Lorenzo's team are his employees. No sub contractors. So you know who will be in your home each day doing the work. And they truly care about the product and how it looks and functions.

    After we discovered water damage in our half-bath that ruined parts of the wall and flooring, we called Lorenzo. We used Archetype several months before to create built-in shelving below our staircase and finish our hardwood floors in the living room, and were so impressed with their work that we immediately knew we wanted Archetype to work on our bathroom. We are THRILLED with the end result! Because of the water damage, we did a complete renovation and Lorenzo's team handled everything (drywall, tile, shiplap, paint, lighting, plumbing, hardwood flooring, etc.). They helped coordinate the purchasing and shipping of things like the tile, toilet, and hardware, so we just had to wait until their team received everything for the job to get started. Along the way, Lorenzo was great about answering our questions, calls, or texts for updates. When the team was here, they were so easy to work with. Tom kept us up-to-date, asked for our thoughts before making final decisions, and offered his advice whenever we asked. There were a few times we decided after something was done that we wanted it to be a little different, and they were always accommodating. We did have some scheduling issues toward the end of the project, but Lorenzo was quick to make things right. Our half-bath is now the nicest room in our house and we definitely recommend Archetype to anyone looking to update or remodel their home!

    Before and after.

    My wife and I were looking for a property in Pilsen. We were originally looking for a multi-unit building but ending up buying a vacant commercial tavern and converting it into a house. Lorenzo Leon at Archetype, our general contractor, was instrumental in helping find a property suitable for rehab. Lorenzo went to all our showings to make sure the property was sound. Lorenzo found an architect, Arek Jarog and helped in the design or our space. The tavern was originally built in 1883 and was vacant for eight years. The tavern and restaurant were on the first floor and the second floor was an apartment. We used the structure and rehabbed the entire building. Lorenzo supervised every aspect of our project. He figured out problems that occurred along the process. Many issues came up since we were doing a complete gut rehab of a 133 year old corner tavern. We reconfigured many of the windows and opened the windows that were filled with brick. The exterior of the building barely resembles the original structure. His suggestions and experience in problem solving helped make our home amazing. The fit and finish of the home is remarkable and Lorenzo and his team took pride in their work. Anyone can find a contractor to do their work on their home. We were lucky enough to find someone with vision, expertise, and a good design sense to help up in our rehab. Every time we enter our home we are so happy we get to live there.

    We've used Archetype for multiple projects and are always pleased with their work, responsiveness, and professionalism. In the last two years, Lorenzo, Tom, Mitch, and the entire team have done a variety of projects for us, including painting, refinishing hardwood floors, and building an addition for our kitchen, complete with matching cabinetry and stone. When we're planning a project, we call Lorenzo first. He's honest, fair, and extremely knowledgable. As a homeowner, having a trustworthy general contractor is crucial; we're glad we can rely on Lorenzo.

    This review is about a year late but I wanted to get a little more decor going on before posting pics. Lorenzo and his team are the best ever! They get 5 stars alone just for being willing to service the southside. So, I had my attic converted into a master suite and it needed everything. Electrical, plumbing, hvac, insulation, etc. Even including a last minute roof replacement due to a former contractor ripping me off. Lorenzo came by and gave me a very reasonable estimate and he and his crew got to work. The project took about 3.5 months. I had to go out of town twice during that time and the crew took excellent care of my home. I am in love with my new space and can't wait to work with him again to make to make the rest of my house match what was done upstairs!

    I met a lot of contractors prior to choosing Lorenzo and his team, but when I met Lorenzo, I knew he was the right contractor for us.

    I hired Rovin's Hardwood Flooring to redo the flooring in two of my rooms. There was some horrid…read moreancient carpet in there I wanted removed and replaced with vinyl flooring. The estimate was quick to schedule and the pricing was well within what to expect in this market. The work was done in a a single day and what a beautiful job! Happy with the new floors in my room. There was some small touches that needed to get done on a second day, but the overall work is great. Highly recommend for your next flooring job!

    Fair price for fair work. We had our red oak floors refinished due to water damage. Adrian from…read moreRovin's flooring came out right away to inspect the damage and provide a quote. We had received multiple quotes from other companies but we liked Adrian's professionalism the best. Rovin's workers showed up on time the day work was to begin; however, a job that was supposed to take 1.5 days to finish took 5 days due to human error, and trying to resolve the problem (drip from final application on floor where the worker set his roller to leave for the day and forgot to smooth it out on his way out the door). Total accident. It was one minor problem that turned into several after trying to rebuff and reapply the finish. I contacted Adrian when I noticed the drip and he sent his guy back that same day and the entire first floor hand to be rebuffed and another finish applied. With that said, this is a Swedish finish with horrible fumes so I'm sure it took it's toll on the worker. Unfortunately, the next day I noticed a very uneven application in several areas. I called Andrian again and he came to inspect the job the next day and said he's very busy but he would be back tomorrow to redo them himself. Anyway, Adrian came out to correct the problem which I appreciate but there are still some spots that I'm not completely satisfied with but I did not want him to do it again. I can hide those spots with rugs or furniture, and I want to get my house back in order. Overall, Adrian is professional and the floor looks way better than it did when they started. There was a language barrier with the workers so be mindful of this but Andrian is easy to reach if you have questions or need clarification. I wanted to give them 4+ stars so bad but couldn't justify it given the delays, uneven application in certain areas and no discount offered for the inconvenience. Would I hire Rovens again? Yes, probably, because he's professional and he tried to turn around the situation. Good customer service means a lot to us and I can tell Andrian wants to ensure his customers are satisfied. I added a photo of the drip that caused the rework if that hadn't happened I would have given them 5 stars because everywhere else was perfect. Unfortunately, the rework process turned one problem into several problems and additional delays in completing the work.

    My husband and I wanted to install a hardwood floor in our LR/DR of our Gold Coast condo. After…read morescouring online reviews, we narrowed the candidates to four. Three were eliminated because of the onerous terms of their form contracts, the unprofessional rep who visited us, or the delay/failure to provide a written bid. 312Flooring was completely different. Jesse, who came to bid the job, was knowledgeable, helpful, and obviously had authority to respond to questions and concerns. Peter, the owner, reviewed Jesse's video of the job, and approved the written bid. We chose 312Flooring. Their bid was not the lowest, but they were not the highest either. Peter and Jesse guided the project through our Condo Assn., stayed in touch with us reporting their progress, and were ready to start on the date promised. On the appointed day, the installation crew, Juan and his two sons, arrived. The next three days were almost pleasurable -- they were skilled, polite, respectful of our home, and enormously helpful in resolving the difficulties that arise during any remodeling project. Our floor was finished on time and on budget and we are very pleased with the finished product. While any home improvement project can be stressful, we heartily recommend 312Flooring should you decide to replace or install hardwood flooring.
