The water restoration job clean on time great job great customer service awesome crew, clean vehicles, clean equipment

They replaced our roof, siding, gutters, etc. after the last storm damage of October 2023. Elijah stayed on top of things every step of the way from the beginning to the end, but what impressed us the most was that he never bickered or argued with us to prove us wrong, like some other roofers did before, and never made anything a big deal. Instead, he never minded to take care of any nuance or anything in question, e.g. they paid for the whole house wash after their siding contractors brought dusty (new) siding and got their hands dirty and left some marks on siding and trim - no questions or objections from Elijah - boom,.. done! The same was with any little thing or question: he promptly came over, checked, and took care of that. He was always very friendly, and so was his staff/office. Great job, thanks! read more

Capital Construction are SCAM ARTISTS and will rip you off. The sales guys are charming and nice, but the subs they hire must be extremely underpaid because the quality of their work is extremely poor. Capital installed new siding, gutters, insulation and roofing in my home 7 years ago. Mid project, I noticed that they never cut holes for the attic air vents in eves of the roof. I had an inspector come out right away. He discovered that they used the cheapest kind of wood for the roof, NOT the type we purchased. The attic spaces were not vented properly as per our contract and it was also discovered that the "insulation" we paid for was simply a few bags of insulation haphazardly thrown around the crawl spaces. They had to rip everything off and start over. It's seven years later and I've now discovered mold on the underside of my roof and I'm confident that it's because of their lackadaisical approach to "restoration". I would NEVER recommend these guys to anyone. Go to the higher end companies FOR sure. You get what you pay for. Penny wise, pound foolish. read more

Dennis and his team were amazing! They helped us navigate our insurance claim, did awesome and timely work, and maybe best of all - they did a great job cleaning up. We have little kids, and they were really thorough to make sure all the screws and nails were picked up. It's the little things that show that they really care! I would highly recommend working with Dennis for any siding jobs! Our old house still has its classic look, but with a nice facelift (the Brad Pitt kind...not like some of those other celebs) read more

We used him a year ago. He was a good guy and we liked him to clean our gutters iiiiii iii

We had an excellent experience with capital construction and Dennis Cho. We had our roof and gutters replaced. Dennis contacted our insurance company and did everything necessary to get the costs covered. The work was done on time and we are very happy with the results. read more

Capital Construction & Restoration recently installed new siding on our house and is one of the best contractors my wife and I have ever worked with! The workmanship is beautiful and the product - Hardie Board - is very high quality. Mike C. was a tremendous advocate on our behalf with the insurer, as was Helen Y. Mike saw an error in the claims adjustor's measurements and helped us with a successful, supplemental claim. Mike was extremely responsive to my numerous phone messages and oversaw the construction to make sure it was done right. The installation crew was outstanding. They took pride in their work and were polite and accommodating when we made changes to the work scope. We highly recommend this company! Joel L. read more

My house recently got a complete exterior makeover and it is amazing! I couldn't be happier with how everything turned out!! Everyone from Capital Construction and Restoration was so great to work with! I was really indecisive and unsure about color and material choices, but Dennis and his team were so patient and great about responding to all my questions and requests for samples. Dennis and his crew were very attentive to detail and someone from the family was on site everyday to make sure things were going smoothly. The project was completed in a very timely manner and I'm proud to say people in the neighborhood are always stopping to comment or look at our house! If anyone needs an exterior makeover or you are need of new siding, gutters, or roof, make sure to contact Dennis Cho from Capital Construction!! Thanks again for my beautiful house!! read more

Capital construction did a fine job on our roof. Phil met with us and explained everything. The job was finished in 1 day, April 26, 2019. And the guys cleaned up on the outside. The last insurance check was given to Phil by the middle of May. However, when I moved the car to the garage I found a mess. A lot of debris was all over the garage floor. So I called Phil and someone came to clean the garage. But it was superficial and I called again. I asked Phil to clean the garage floor and also to check the attic, since the roof was replaced over the house as well. There was a lot of debris there as well. I called several times and Phil said the attic would be cleaned. It is now late August, 4 months later, ......and I am still waiting. It is now mid October ......and I am still waiting for the cleanup. And today is November 23. Although Phil said in several text messages that he would come Thursday or Friday of this week he did not come. He did not call or text to say that he would not come. He is unreliable, unbelievable. Do not pay until the job is finished. And it is now December 14. Although Phil confirmed an appointment for 2 weeks ago he did not come, did not call to cancel. ......I am still waiting Dennis Cho stopped by 2 weeks ago, January 6, 2020. He said he would finish the job in the attic. But he needed to get a small vacuum (so it would fit in the attic), even though Phil supposedly got one several months ago. . ......I am still waiting And today is February 5. I had hoped Dennis would be finished cleaning by now. But guess what! It is a month later. No one has called. No one has come to clean. In 2 months it will be a year since the roof was done. AND ......I AM STILL WAITING. Today is February 13.. it is almost 6 weeks since Dennis said he would finish cleaning the attic. But guess what. He still hasn't been back to do it. AND ......I AM STILL WAITING. read more

Completely satisfied with this company from beginning to end of our roofing repair. Prompt reply to estimate request, very reasonable price and service provided immediately. read more

The Good After sending a message the response back was rather quick and the turn around for the phone call was great. After the conversation via phone I thought my expectations were clear, I sent a message saying I wanted a quote and repeated the same thing during the conversation prior to setting up an appointment. My appointment was set for Thursday, June 8th, 2017 between 5-5:30p. The Bad However at 5:04p I received a voicemail saying it was to confirm the appointment. I called back and left a voicemail and received a call right back from June. Again he stated he was calling to confirm the appointment right before appointment time. Before the end of the call I noticed not once did he state he would be late for the appointment so I asked for his e.t.a. and I was told between 40-50 minutes because traffic had come to a halt. So in actuality this call shouldn't have been to confirm it should've been to inform me of a late arrival. I thought this was extremely disrespectful of my time and schedule. The Ugly During the call I asked June if I would be getting a quote. He said well no I was going to come over to view the insurance information and go from there. Excuse me! I was very specific about what I expected during this appointment. So not only did I find this to be disrespectful of my time but also it was clear although I'd sent a message saying what I wanted and repeated the same thing during the call (I wanted a quote for the work I needed completed) June was going to come out to my home and do what it was he wanted to do. After finding this out I told June if he was unable to give me a quote we should cancel this appointment and possibly reschedule for a date when he could. Side Note It does appear that many of the reviews for this company are being left by friends, family members, and employees. Be aware! read more

I have to hire another contractor to come in and fix the work Capital Construction did at my home. I spent $15,000 on a new roof that they guaranteed their work would fix my leaks. Not only did not their work not fix the leaks but now the leaks are worse. I have called, texted and sent emails but they have stopped responding to my requests to remediate. Buyer beware. read more

I recently worked with Joe from Capital Construction & Restoration on a project for one of their customers. The communication was 110% and Joe went above and beyond what I expected. Very well organized and our customer was beyond happy with the final product and service. It is highly important that we work with other business's that share our same values as it gives us confidence that our customers will be 100% satisfied as well. Tobi Johnson Screen Medix read more

Capital Construction replaced our roof, gutters, and trim work around our garage. They worked with our insurance company and made the process as easy as possible for us. Phil Cho answered all of our questions and did everything he could to make sure we were satisfied with their services. Their crew was great, worked quickly and cleaned up afterwards. I definitely recommend Capital for your home restoration needs! read more

I just had my gutters replaced yesterday. I could not be more happy with the quality of work and level of professionalism. Most importantly, I felt like I wasn't being taken advantage of because of the way that Dennis quoted me the price. Dennis was the ONLY bid out of 4 that suggested I could keep my existing downspouts (they were actually swapped out for bigger ones last year) in order to keep the price down. He was also the only one of four not trying to hard sell me on gutter guards. He said if I wanted them we could always talk about them later. It was just such a great experience working with some one who I could implicitly trust and see an outstanding result. His price was very fair and I will more than likely be using him down the road when I need to replace my roof. read more

I used Capital construction for my roof replacement. I had a great experience with them. From start to end, the whole project was smooth and very transparent. Phil is very professional and responded to every call promptly. On a project day, the crew was very professional and they completed the project within a day. After work completed, Mike and Phil again visited the place to make sure everything is taken care and done correctly. I strongly recommend Captial construction for your next project. Thanks, Mike and Phil. Milan Patel read more

Capital Construction & Restoration in Northbrook replaced our roof and we had multiple leaks. Buckets of water was coming into our home in 2 different areas. They attempted to fix it but kept having the issues and the patch work job was not done correctly. It was the worst experience we have had. Phil Cho made promises to fix things and we let him try but after 5 months of this debacle we were left with insulation that needed replaced, water stains on ceilings, damaged siding, and damaged windows. read more

Capital Construction did a fantastic job in completely replacing my mother's fence that was damaged during a storm. Over 15 fence panels and two gates had fallen during a sever rain and wind storm. Dennis Cho (the owner of Capital Construction) worked with us to find the best replacement and design for the fence. He kept in communication with us to verify that we were comfortable with the design and building material. He even worked with the Insurance Adjuster to ensure that all costs were covered even things the insurance adjuster did not see that were damaged by the storm. Dennis's crew was meticulous and ensured solid posts while ensuring there were no uneven parts along the bottom and top of the fence. There is nothing worse than an uneven fence! Dennis ensured that the clean-up was perfect, my mother's yard looks bigger than before because the fence looks so solid and even all the way around. The fence feels like a car couldn't knock it over. Definitely reach out to Dennis for any work that needs to be done on fences, roofs, gutters and siding, he won't disappoint with his excellent customer service and knowledge of the business. read more

Gloria in the office was always exceptionally kind and easy to work with. Dennis was very friendly for advice and helped us correct a few issues with our skylights that prior owners chose not to. He gave great counsel but even better than that fixed with the issue with a high quality product for a very reasonable price. When the work was done, the gentlemen were gone before we even knew they were there. We are very grateful! read more

We completed a brand new construction dream home and was very particular about who would be completing the roof. Capital was very responsive, professional, and completed the work in time. The owner personally helped us picked out the color and style of the roof as that would bring the exterior design of the house together and it was not an easy decision. He gave us addresses was to look at examples, etc. Would highly recommend. read more

Nothing but NIGHTMARES dealing with this company. Overall I found them incompetent, slow to respond, and the work unacceptable. The only time they reached out was when they were looking for their reimbursement from the insurance company. I cannot understand how a place that operates the way this company does (completely backwards) is still in business. read more

Dennis and Team were great to work with. They were very responsive and helpful especially with the insurance company. Dealing with roof damage can be stressful but they made it quick and easy. Not to mention, they guarantee their work! read more

This company replaced my roof in the fall of last year. They did an excellent job! But recently I had water come through my ceiling under my attic and called them to come take a look. Dennis came with 2 workers very quickly. They went over and above to resolve my issue which had nothing to do with the new roof. Dennis even drove to several hardware stores to get the parts needed to fix the problem. The cherry on the sundae was 'no charge' for the visit. Seriously?! It was not the roof that caused the problem! Very much appreciated! PS-I would highly recommend this company and Dennis to anyone needing a new roof. Dee / Naperville read more

I scheduled a small roof chimney project with Dennis. To my surprise they squeezed me in less than a week after my call! The team showed up on time, and were done in two hours. I highly recommend this easy to work with company, that will not charge you an arm and a leg. All of the staff was professional and worked efficient. read more

I was referred to Capital by a good friend of mine who had similar roofing work done in Spring 2016. In Summer 2016 I requested Capital to come out to give me a free estimate to reshingle my roof and also had a couple questions about a few problem areas. I called on a Monday and a Capital rep came out on a Wednesday to review my roof and all the questions I had. Informative, quick, competitive pricing and to the point without trying to sell me on additional "needs". My possible problem areas were simple and included in the scope of work. Additionally, the lifetime shingle warranty with additional 5 year workmanship guarantee made it a secure bet. Fast-forward 8 months and I have had no issues and am beyond happy with the work Capital performed. Much appreciated guys! read more

Phil and Capital Construction were nothing but professional throughout our project! Phil was so easy to talk to and helped me to understand the details of the project. He handled the insurance end of the project also, which was a big load off my shoulders. We had hail damage from a recent storm and CC completed a new roof, gutters, downspouts, window wrap and hung new shutters. All the crews were here on time and did great work. If there was anything that needed attention, Phil was right there to get it taken care of! The work was done in a timely and professional manner. Most of the trades went above and beyond and were very courteous! I would highly recommend Phil and the Capital Construction crews! read more

We used Capital Construction for both our roof and our siding this year. It was a huge project but they did an awesome job and got it done faster than we expected. Definitely recommend them and will be using them again for many more future projects around our home and for some work at the office, too. read more

My insurance company rejected my roof replacement claim for hail damage stating there is minimal damage and wrote me a check for 98.00 after my 1000.00 deduction. Gloria the office manager from Capital Construction said this is not right the way this insurance company is treating us. Gloria became my advocate and fought my insurance company and got them to paid for a new roof. Gloria pursued the claim adjuster and did not let them bully us. Gloria is very aggressive in negotiating with the insurance company. This went on for over 3 months until the insurance company agree to paid for a new roof. Unbelievable to this day what Gloria did for us. So, I highly recommend you talk to Gloria from Capital Construction if your insurance company rejected or low-ball your claim for damages to your home. Note I said Gloria is the office manager not a Public Adjuster. Gloria would make an awesome Public Adjusters negotiating insurance clients claims with insurance company. read more

Capital construction is the way all businesses should be. Their service and quality of work is top notch. I had an issue with my roof and ceiling and they came in the same day to fix it and I haven't had any issues since. They made my life so easy by helping me with my insurance company as well. They are very professional and it's difficult to find honest help these days. I referred them to all my neighbors. read more

Went with capital through a referral from a family friend and so glad I did. I worked with DJ. Being a first time homeowner, I didn't know much. He was really informative and patient with all my questions. He came out the day of my adjuster appointment and pretty much took care of everything. My roof has been damaged for awhile and I've been stressed out about having to fix it. The company literally did everything for me, and all I had to do was pick out a color. One of the best experiences I've had with a contractor. Highly recommend. read more

Capital Construction is exceptional. After the April 2020 hail storm, they did a lot of work in our neighborhood and worked with our insurance company to replace our roof, gutters, downspouts, and siding. This was a massive job, which had to be coordinated and done in stages with the different suppliers and workmen. Everything was done when promised and we couldn't be happier. Phil, in particular, went WAY above and beyond; he was always immediately responsive and the communication was excellent. He really treated our project as if he were working on his own home - everything, from initial contact to follow-up coordination to finished project, was done professionally and thoroughly. Lots of contractors promise you the moon, but fail to deliver; Phil was just the opposite - not only was he always true to his word, he also went the extra mile for us. Elijah also deserves a big shout-out for really holding our insurance company's feet to the fire to get them to pay what they should; insurance companies want to pay only the minimum, but Elijah kept going back to them to make sure everything was covered. Both Phil and Elijah were really there for us and had our back. We enthusiastically recommend them - two big "thumbs up" from us! read more

We had Capital construction install a new roof in our rental unit and they did a great job, the roof was done perfectly and the quote was the lowest we could find anywhere, we will definitely use them again. We worked with Phill and he was awesome! read more

Needed some roof repairs done (old house), but didn't know where to start or where to go. I was referred to Capital Construction by a friend of a friend and was relieved that they offered simple and honest guidance on what I needed and how to get it done without unnecessary costs. They worked with urgency and was responsive when I had questions. Overall, I trusted the guys working on the roof and to me, that was most important, Would definitely recommend. read more

We did our roof , gutter and downspouts replacement with Capital just this summer. They used two days to finish the job and they did a clean nice job. The team is very responsible with a good attitude. We had some specific requirements, they managed to meet our expectations and did the roof nicely. Their customer service guy, Phil, was there for us from the beginning to the end. He was very helpful and good to work with. I would recommend this company to my friends and relatives moving forward. read more

I had water leaking from my ceiling and needed help right away. Even though Capital Construction's expertise is outdoor work, they were the first company to respond and sent over a person right away. They immediately assessed the problem and was able to take care of the leak on the spot. They came back in a timely manner to finish the job. I couldn't be happier with the service and quality of the work. Thank you! read more

If I could give a zero star I would!!!! Dennis and his team were awful! If your reading this DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!!!!! Dennis and his team are extremely disrespectfully towards woman!!! Allen was are "LEAD" contractor for the job and let me tell you he is the the worst person to have as your lead. He came and did the estimate for the job on our bathroom June 28th and when he asked how soon we needed the job done we we understand there is a holiday in there so some time after the 4th of July. that we are hoping to start either the 5th or the 6th of July. He told us that it wasn't a problem to just call the office and schedule a date. When we tried to call to schedule the date Allen was out of the country on a personal vacation. STRIKE ONE: IF YOUR GOING ON A PERSONAL VACATION WHY WOULDN'T YOU TELL YOUR CLIENT THAT!!!! So we waiting for him to get back from vacation to start the job. The job didn't even start until the 14th of July!!!!!! when the team came on the 14th of July Allen came dropped the stuff off and left! we didn't even come to the door to explain anything to me just dropped off the stuff and was GONE!!! about 2 hours later the group of men showed up and Allen wasn't even with them. The team that was here Dominic, Jean, and Carlos were great. They argued a lot and didn't come prepare but they are friendly and polite. On the second day that this team came out to finish they didn't have any of the tools needed for for job and had to go t Home Depot, which I had to go with one of the crew members because he didn't know where he was and wasn't going to find the place. When the dry wall was finally installed Allen had left out painting in the estimate, which we had said we needed done before we signed and started. Well because this was a 3rd party claim threw insurance we couldn't ask for more money to cover the cost of paint. So we got stuck painting ourselves. But before we could start to paint we had to clean all the mud that was left everywhere from the drywall job because the team came in installed and left. The walls were not sanded there was chucks of mud all of the tile and wood work. STRIKE TWO: WHY AM I PAYING FOR A JOB TO DO THE FULL WORK OF A BATHROOM AND HAVE TO FINISH THERE JOB OF SANDING, CLEANING AND PAINTING????? Once we got the painting done in the bathroom Allen came back out to install our toilet and vanity. When Allen finally got to our place he was over 2 hours late!!!!!! WITH NO CALL TO INFORM US THAT HE WAS LATE. He got the toilet hooked up and started to work on he vanity. STRIKE THREE: ALLEN HAD RIPE OFF THE BACK OF OUR BRAND NEW VANITY WITHOUT ASKING ME IF IT WAS OKAY TO REMOVE THE BACK! Finally he came out and said so I think we need to remove the back off the vanity it will be a lot easier for me to install after he already had taken if off!!!! our vanity draw also had to be modified as well and so Allen had cut the corner out of it completely leaving the back exposed so now anything we put in that draw falls out! When I told him that that is not what we wanted done he laughed in my face!!! then he checked his watch and said " yeah it's a Friday night and its 7pm I'll have to finish the job some other day. AND HE LEFT!!!!!!!! When I call the company and demanded to speak to someone higher up that we could have help us with the shity job done to our bathroom I was directed to Dennis the owner of the company. At first Dennis was extremely polite and was all yes we will do what needs to get fixed and make this right. and I will not allow some "punk kid" destroy my business of 10+ years. A few days had gone by I had to call and Dennis finally made arrangement to come out to see the damage done. Dennis wasn't even in my home for 4 mins and he was ready to leave and trying to buy me off. He told me that he hate to have to throw away a "perfectly good" vanity but doesn't want us to feel like he wasn't doing anything about it so he told me he'd give me $200. I had toward him that he needed the job done right and fixed properly. We didn't hear from him for two weeks!!!!!!!!! My husband had to call and find out what was going on. Finally today, AUGUST 14TH over a month late the team showed up to fix the vanity. when the team came in and I showed them the bathroom they are surprised to see a vanity already there and didn't want to replace the vanity. They argued with me and told me they didn't have the stuff to do the job and would have to come back a different day. While I was on the phone with Dennis the team loaded the vanity back in the truck and LEFT!!!!!!!!!! When I called Dennis back to find out were they went he argued with me and told me that is wasn't his company that did the job in the first place and that I he was trying to do what we wanted done but he didn't "understand me". He continued to blame others and talk over me so I couldn't speak! WARNING WARNING WARNING THIS COMPANY DOES NOT KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING!!!!! PLEASE SAVE YOURSELF THE TROUBLE AND DONT USE THEM! read more
