Great kitchen! We had a wonderful experience the Bart's craftsmen -- especially Andy, who came up with a solution when the cabinet people failed to take accurate measurements. Bart's got everything done on time, even though we unknowingly waited longer than we should have on the cabinets. (tip: even if the caninet maker can get the cabinets built in 6 weeks, they may not have an open delivery window for 8). We lived in our house, camping in the living room the whole time, and the workers kindly coexisted with us. Most importantly, we love the kitchen still and we stayed within our budget. Thanks! read more

We planned a high end kitchen remodel for 4 years and were nervous about finding a GC after so many negative stories of GCs gone wrong. Bart and his subs were on time, communicative, flexible, extremely skilled, and knew how to negotiate with the inspector. Bart is very honest and we are planning our next project and looking forward to working with him and his team once we are ready! read more

Bart and his team were a pleasure to work with! They transformed my ugly, outdated kitchen into a magazine worthy modern, efficient dream kitchen!

We had Bart retrofit a roof deck with bar, garden, and pergola onto an existing three car garage in Wrigleyville. The project involved extensive structural reinforcement of the roof, masonry work to extend up the parapet wall, a large amount of carpentry, and electrical. Bart completed the project on time within budget and the build quality was excellent. read more

Bart and team did amazing work in finishing our basement. Communication was great, the work itself was of top quality, and the team was professional from start to finish. Bart was very understanding and reasonable with adjusting timing of the work due to Covid. We are thrilled with the finished product and would recommend Barts to any friend or family. read more

My husband and I hired Bart to do a full gut rehab on our home. He and his team took our outdated Chicago two flat and turned it into a beautiful, modern single family home. Bart is very communicative, knowledgeable, and straightforward. He was also very willing to share advice he pulled from experience on past projects. From the demo crew to the team working on finishing touches, his guys showed up on time every day. They were respectful, tidy, and we are incredibly happy with the final result. There will always be things that pop up during construction, but Bart was readily available to discuss solutions or alternatives and then put his team to action right away. We would not hesitate to call him for future projects and definitely recommend him to friends and strangers. read more

I can not say enough good things about Barts Remodeling. We hired Bart to do a gut rehab of our bathroom. Every person on Bart's team was professional, responsive, and highly skilled. The work was done beautifully and at lightening speed. I always at least double in my mind the amount of time it will take to complete a project, but they had it done in less than 3 weeks as promised. We were very particular about the details and they worked with us to find a solution to everything we didn't like and even redid some parts to make them perfect for us. The workmanship is all excellent. We love our new bathroom. I would hire Bart again for any size job. So highly recommend. read more

This review is a long time coming. We had always meant to put in a bathroom in our downstairs bedroom. We knew it would be a huge undertaking, but would make our downstairs the retreat we always wanted. Everyone from Bart's was amazing. We utilized their design services to help with layout and finishes. They really got to know us and helped us articulate what we wanted. Two years after construction, this remains my favorite room in our house. We now have a beautiful vanity, large shower, toilet and a great laundry room. They maximized the limited amount of space we had available and provided a smart design. The person who worked on our bathroom was detail-oriented and cleaned up each day as if no work had happened. I would recommend Bart's without hesitation. read more

These guys are great to work with. Andy worked HARD to make sure our major reno was done before I had our baby. Not everything was 100% perfect, but Bart always sends his team within a day or two of my email/text/call to fix the very minor things that pop up. We're really pleased with the end result, and the whole reno went pretty smoothly. My only recommendation would be to closely monitor the interior designer they use, if you decide to go that route. She's not great at recommending materials that are within the quoted budget, and she doesn't bring materials for you to look at in person (maybe I was supposed to ask her to?). read more

We just had Bart remodel our kitchen and convert our attic into a bead room. Bart and his team where amazing right from the beginning. His ensign team created an amazing space with great finishes and His crew created it. They finished the project in time and on budget. I can't recommend them enough. Run don't walk to Bart and his crew, you won't be disappointed! read more

We used Bart to remodel our basement - they did a great job and we are very pleased with the final results. We had 5 contractors come out to give us quotes - Bart's Remodeling was straight forward and to the point and more reasonably priced the other companies tried to overcharge us for the job. We would definitely recommend and use again. read more

The entire experience was stress free and pleasurable. I highly recommend hiring Bart to do your remodeling work you will be thrilled! Thanks for the great experience! I love my kitchen and new floor! read more

We used Barts Remodeling recently to redo our kitchen and 2 bathrooms. Bart and his team were spectacular to work with from the start. They made it easy to choose our products and finishes, took care of ordering the supplies and arranging delivery. Workmanship was top-notch, and Bart's team navigated our building rules and regulations with ease and without any trouble. Communication was clear and timely from the beginning. We cannot recommend Bart and his team more. read more

We could not be happier with the gut rehab of our kitchen and master bathroom. Bart and his team did a fantastic job. The two men who did the bulk of the work were wonderful. Every day they arrived on time and always cleaned up more than was ever expected.They were employees of Bart. There were only three sub contractors but they too adhered to Bart's high quality standards. Bart stayed on top of the project and one time nearing the completion of the work -there was a small problem and Bart jumped right in to solve it. The project was completed within the time frame.It is great to know that there are still contractors who believe in doing a high quality job. We would not hesitate to recommend Bart and have already provided his name to two people. read more

We had an outstanding experience with Bart's on a gut rehab of a bathroom. Everyone on the team, including the owner, designer, office assistant, and contractor, did a terrific job. The crew arrived precisely on time each day, and the contractor couldn't have been easier to work with or more pleasant. The job was completed on budget and on schedule. We are already planning our next project with these guys! read more

Bart and his team recently remodeled our sun room and built a small deck leading out into our back yard. They did a great job and we're very happy with the results. They showed up early in the morning, worked fast, kept the mess to a bare minimum and finished much more quickly than I expected. We're very happy with the end result and would recommend Barts to anyone looking for a high quality remodeling job. read more

In the spring of 2016, my husband and I fell in love with a Lincoln Park two-flat that we wanted to convert to a single family home. Our only experience with home remodeling was watching HGTV, so we were definitely scared to take on a gut rehab. After receiving a referral from our realtor, we contacted Bart's Remodeling. Bart came out the very next day (on a Sunday!) to walk the house and give us a ballpark estimate of the renovation costs. From the moment we met Bart, we could tell he was very knowledgeable about the City of Chicago permit process as well as current design trends in Lincoln Park. As unusual as it sounds, we had a great feeling about Bart and trusted him from the beginning. Somehow we just knew that he would take care of our home and renovation like it was his own. Bart told us our renovation would cost approximately $225K and take 6+months to complete. While this timeline was much longer than anything we had seen on HGTV's Property Brothers, he explained that the major milestones in the project were dependent on the City of Chicago permit process. As a salesperson, I respected his "under promise/over deliver" mentality. Overall, the construction process went smoother than expected. Our original budget remained intact except for some upgrades we chose to add on. Bart and his crew were friendly and considerate to us and our neighbors throughout the process. The very best part about working with Bart is his responsiveness and honesty. He is always available by phone, text, or email and is willing to meet in person to discuss details when needed. He lets you make the design choices, but is always available to provide a "gut check" and will definitely let you know if he questions your design decisions. As he told us multiple times "your home is a billboard for my business," so he wanted everything to look perfect! We moved into our Dream Home four and a half months after our closing date, and have Bart and his crew to thank. We would recommend Bart's Remodeling to anyone looking to get high quality renovations from a contractor and crew you can trust. read more

The entire team was very professional. We live in a small condo and they were able to work with the little amount of space we had. After they finished, we only had a couple of minor issues for our punch up list that were quickly resolved read more

Bart's Remodeling recently completed our basement including a full bathroom. Very professional, on time and on budget. Having a designer on their team helped translate our rough vision into a solution that exceeded expectations. Very good on the details, large and small. Should the need arise I wouldn't hesitate to use them again. read more

Everything turned out absolutely perfect! Bart and his team were incredibly responsive and delivered everything we asked for. Bart's initial estimate was right on target with our final cost and the time to completion was very accurate as well. I couldn't believe how fast Bart's team worked! They showed up every day and left the house and work site in great condition and cleaned up the dust as much as humanly possible. It was also amazing to see how they were able to get huge portions of the project completed in such a short period of time so we could move on to the next phase. Having Bart personally advise us on a few decisions really ensured we got the perfect product. The only hiccup we experienced was when a strong storm caused water damage to the existing structure that was under construction, but Bart made sure everything looked as good as new by the end of the project (and with no additional cost added!). I've recommended Bart's to family and friends and we'll be sure to call them again the next time we have a project to do. read more

We had an incredible experience with Bart and his team for our basement renovation. Bart was extremely easy to work with - he was reliable, timely, considerate of our needs, and professional.

I definitely will recommend them to family and friends. read more

Since Bart's has pretty high reviews on Yelp, I called them in regards to having my basement remodeled. We scheduled an appointment for Saturday morning at 10 a.m. Bart's was a no-show. I called and left a message asking them to reschedule. Bart himself returned the call later that day to say that he'd found record of my original appointment but that their calendar hadn't been updated with the time/date and that's why they were a no-show. Okay, mistakes happen so we rescheduled for 10:30 a.m. today; but needless to say...Bart's was again a no-show. I received a call about an hour after they should have been here. The Bart's rep left a message saying they would not be able to take on my project (with no explanation of why because they never came out to see what the 'project' was) and I should check Angie's List for a reputable contractor and that I would find plenty of them there. I guess she knows Bart's isn't reputable? I wish she'd told me that before they wasted my time...twice. read more

Bart remodeled both of our bathrooms a few years ago, so when the time came to finish our basement, we were very happy he was available for this project too. We could not be happier with the results! The basement is comfortable, functional and seems to have been always part of our living space. Bart worked with us to install a new staircase from the kitchen to the basement that efficiently used the area, (prior access had only been from the mudroom at the back), and to put a large bedroom, a playroom/family room, a bathroom and a mechanical room downstairs, which includes generous storage. In addition to the quality of work, we appreciated Bart himself stopping by to check on progress and the ease of communication via text, phone or email. If there ever was a delay with permits, inclement weather, we oftentimes heard from Bart directly which was very nice. We will certainly use Barts Remodeling in the future, he has our highest recommendation! read more

We were looking for the right team to finish our basement in our newly constructed home that was going to deliver professionalism with quality workmanship, good communication, and trust all within our budget. Bart was available for an in-home estimate shortly after the first contact and was knowledgeable about working with the basement. The project was estimated to be a couple of months and was gladly surprised how things were moving on track. When I went into the project, I had two main concerns. The first concern was that I was not available to check up on his crew/contractors because of work. The crew from Bart's company is trustworthy and professional. For two months, contactors came and went, worked without owner supervision, and without any issues. I had checked up on the crew couple of times and usually before I leave for work. They were kind and it is good to communicate often so that what is designed on paper gets built properly. Bart also stopped by often to check up on progress. The second concern was that since I was living in my home, I was concerned about construction dust, what would be tracked into the house, and any dents/dings that could happen when moving in lumber/drywall. The crew took care into limiting dust and always took out construction garbage daily. There was a yard dumpster that was parked on the driveway which was used to collect the garbage. With kids in the house, one of my worries was construction dust and construction traffic thru the house. Controlling construction dust and traffic takes effort from both contractor and owner. I had to replace furnace filter often since the furnace sucks up lots of dust. Also at the end of the workweek, I did general clean up so that it is manageable for my family. They used the window well to move in as much materials as they physically could. The dry wall had to be brought thru the house. I had taped up corners on the path from outside to basement with fiberboard, which help limit the dings and dents. It is not going to be a perfect situation when you go thru a basement remodeling in a home you are also living in but Bart's team helped make it manageable. This was a successful project and to make it successful, it is all in the details. Bart was very good and working thru the details. He was very patient in answering all my questions. I would recommend to anyone working with Bart to ask questions. He is patient and don't get offended by questions. Get it down on paper so that there are no surprises. I took the time to review and discuss the quote with Bart. Need to ask questions and understand what is included in the standard allowance. You should understand how the garbage will be taken out, does your property have room for an external dumpster, use of restroom (your home or temporary), access into home, work schedule, and timing around visiting suppliers to finalize tiles, carpet or Coretec flooring, hardware, vanity, etc. Bart recommends a set of suppliers to contact but his company is flexible and they will work with other suppliers that you may have used in the past and very willing to get what you want. Overall, the space came out better than we imagined. Bart and the team kept the tasks moving along, bringing the right contractors in at the right time, managed to receive the permits and inspections by the village all on schedule. The kids now have a much-needed larger space to play, as well, as for the adults. Thank you Bart for making a permanent impression into our home! read more
