I was given the opportunity to work with Habitar Design specifically working closely with Mitch Newman and designer Hannah Tindall. My boyfriend and I had just moved into a stunning downtown condo where we were excited to make it our own in terms of design, constructing modern built ins in the family room/living room, adding custom cabinets to our existing kitchen, new hardwood floors, updating two bathrooms and desired a new design layout. And let me say in all honesty, we are excessively demanding with details and obsessive with mundane details....and yet Habitar Design still exceeded our expectations! With many downtown condos, our space was small, but Mitch Newman and his design team allowed us to capture the feeling of "home" and express our taste in our new place. We were immediately drawn to Mitch Newman's attention to detail, level of professionalism, brilliant visionary work, and his craftsmanship is truly an artist's work. His background as a physician demonstrates a level of commitment and knowledge, and all his life experiences really allow him to be magnificent in his craft. I cannot stress enough, the level of quality in his craftsmanship---gorgeous, it was beyond beautiful and better than I had imagined! Our friends & family had no idea we had customized and designed our own built-ins with Mitch, they truly thought we had ordered them from one of the high end Italian stores in Chicago. He was a true visionary from his design of the plans, execution of the construction, selection of materials, even down to the choice of a cabinet or drawer fixture. We also loved working with Hannah Tindall as our designer. She was able to keep us organized with our design ideas and encourage our own creativity but allow us to showcase our design aesthetic in a tasteful, functional, and cohesive manner. Hannah Tindall worked tirelessly to make sure our experience was delightful and inspiring. I would highly recommend Mitch Newman, Hannah Tindall, and Habitar Design, and will definitely use them again in the near future. Unfortunately, my relationship with the boyfriend did end after 6 years, but the most difficult part was walking away from my beautiful home. I didn't want to leave my gorgeous home where Habitar Design inspired and captured my perfect aesthetic combination of personalized palette colors, room balance, modern comfort, and my love for the space. Thank you for the amazing experience and look forward to seeing you soon for a new project!

Everyone at Stratagem from the owner, Mitch, to each person that works for him is helpful, thoughtful, and committed to doing good work. Having worked with them twice, I can confidently say that they are a delightful company to work with their work delivers beautiful results.

Ordering windows took a few weeks and teams on install day moved swiftly and kept the area clean after! I also want to note that we live on the 3rd floor of a condo building and many contractors said they could not install and/or needed additional materials, external infrastructure and costs to do the project, but Jacob made it seamless with bringing windows up the stairs, and doing an internal install, which incurred no extra install costs. This was also great as it did not impact our neighbors and kept the project contained and clean. Jacob really cares about being transparent and has earned our trust, and I would 100% recommend him and his team to anyone looking to install new windows in their home. Overall, we really highly recommend Jacobs 1 Construction! I cannot say enough great things about the quality of their work, competitive pricing, and their dedication to their customers.

Caution Advised: Disappointing Experience with ICA Cabinets / L2 Supply Corp - Significant Product…read more& Service Issues I am sharing my experience with ICA Cabinets (also operating as L2 Supply Corp) regarding a kitchen cabinet and quartz countertop project totaling nearly $10,000. The outcome was unsatisfactory due to concerns regarding product quality, communication, and unresolved service issues. All dealings, including payments, paperwork, appointments, stone supplier selection, and material procurement, were handled exclusively through an ICA representative named Leon. The primary concern arose with the "Cemento Gray" kitchen countertop. This countertop exhibits an inconsistent finish, with noticeable variations between shiny and matte areas. Additionally, a persistent sticky residue remains on the surface that has not been removed despite using quartz-approved cleaners. When I inquired about the quartz brand to pursue a warranty claim, ICA informed me they could not identify the manufacturer and stated they suspected it was a generic import without a discernible warranty. ICA sourced the stone from a supplier in Melrose Park. Upon contacting this supplier, I was informed that the inconsistent finish was attributed to errors made by ICA's subcontracted fabricators/installers. However, as all dealings and payments were made directly to ICA, the supplier declined further involvement and advised me to resolve the matter with ICA. ICA refused to accept responsibility or contact their supplier to address the issue. The selection of this stone supplier was made solely by ICA. I repeatedly requested that ICA send their installers back to address the visible flaws on the countertop. I was informed that the installers had already been paid by ICA and would not return. My multiple requests for the installers' contact details eventually yielded only a name, but I could not find a listed phone number or email. Furthermore, ICA failed to document the subcontractors' information on my condo building's official paperwork, despite specific instructions on the forms they completed and signed (photo attached). During the countertop installation, the installers arrived without a professional vacuum for on-site cutting. Both the installers and an ICA representative asked if I could provide one. After an unsuccessful attempt to acquire one from building staff, an ICA representative drove me to Target, where I purchased a small Dirt Devil vacuum at my own expense. I expressed concerns about its adequacy, but was assured it would suffice. It proved ineffective, resulting in dust and debris spreading throughout my newly renovated apartment, including over the new countertops. Following the installation, I discovered that the kitchen sink (purchased through ICA) was damaged, and the countertop had numerous scratches. A week later, a white bathroom countertop (also from ICA) was installed. Upon completion, a large yellow stain was discovered on this countertop. The installers unsuccessfully attempted to remove it and confirmed it would require replacement. ICA did eventually replace the stained bathroom countertop and the damaged kitchen sink. They also buffed out the kitchen countertop scratches using strong solvents. These scratches were identified shortly after installation (marked with blue tape in provided images) and attributed to the ICA subcontracted installers. Regarding the kitchen cabinets, initial appearance was acceptable. However, upon closer inspection, numerous cracks were identified (photos attached). ICA initially stated they would send someone to address these cracks, but subsequently reversed this decision and informed me they would not follow through. My requests to speak with a supervisor or the company owner were repeatedly denied. This situation has resulted in undue stress, wasted time, and unforeseen expenses. I am sharing my detailed experience to assist others in making informed decisions when considering ICA Cabinets / L2 Supply Corp for their home improvement projects.

The first was due to their new faulty lock which made me late for work -standing outside in the cold and the second was just prior to the end of my lease when I was in the process of moving out. Cindy (office manager) lied to me about needing in the unit and had the lock changed before my lease was officially ended. Overall working with John was great until he merged and became part of NXT. Under new management it was one issue after another. Right after the merge, NXT demanded I provide proof of renters insurance despite it not being in my current contract. This was fine since I had it anyway except NXT wanted to be listed on the policy in a way that allowed them to make changes on my personal renters policy which I was uncomfortable with. Additionally, I had to put in multiple maintenance request for the same things (mostly the garage door and the washing machine) because it was never fixed all of the way or correctly. Cindy would call and want me to be there to let maintenance in which is her job, not mine. Cindy is the worst to work with, she lies and is very pushy. She tried to tell me I could not sublease my unit with parking despite parking being included in my current lease. Even my attorney was stunned by this after reviewing our lease documents and emails. After the illegal things Cindy had done, it was a nightmare working with her and I am happy I never have to deal with her again. I'm adding an edit to this review because I previously mentioned how great working with John was. Well when I wrote this review 2 days ago I truly believed that, but now that he does not have the audacity to call me back despite multiple complaints about how his property manager is doing illegal activity that is not in compliance with my current contract it makes me believe he truly does not care how his business is run. I do not recommend renting from NXT Realty because they are only focused on how to take advantage of people.

John Yousef was my landlord for a little over a year before we were so frustrated we terminated our lease early. Well worth the money it cost too. A few of the more memorable violations of tenant rights we endured under John, were: a broken furnace in the middle of winter that took 4 estimates and 3 weeks before it was finally "repaired." Now when I say repaired, I mean 3 of the 4 mechanics said there was no way to fix it, until a 4th mechanic managed to get it "working" and limping along for the rest of winter. Our ROOF started leaking when there was too much snow. The fix to this was of course...shoveling the snow off the roof and declaring it fixed.....until the next day. Our chimney started leaking during even small rain storms, which was never repaired. The advertised 'fully functional fire place' was nothing more than a leaky brick tube that held a plastic bowl to contain the leak throughout our entire lease. I can only imagine the black mold that must be EVERYWHERE.... These were just a few of the things that were unlawful, I dont have time to delve into the lies, lack of communication, unannounced apartment showings, and SHADY practices that skirt the law...

We were doing a kitchen remodel and during the process wanted to add some built-in cabinetry to make our rather small main living room/kitchen space more functional. We live in the city and anything to increase our storage space, while looking damn good in the process, is a YES PLEASE!!!! I contacted about 4 other contractors to get quotes on our cabinetry and William came back the quickest with his auto-cad renderings and a good quote to boot. We desired a desk space with upper and lower cabinets and 2 areas with floor to ceiling cabinetry with molding on top. In addition, we wanted to paint our kitchen cabinets from a cherry wood to white and preferred the cabinet fronts to be sprayed as opposed to hand painted. We wanted the new cabinetry to match our existing kitchen cabinetry (with the color change to white) seamlessly. William came out and took measurements and helped give me a better understanding of what would work in our space (i've never done this before) and gave very helpful suggestions (i.e. adding molding to the top of our kitchen cabinets that would match what he was doing to our built-ins). We decided to go with him and i haven't regretted our decision in the least. Oh, i forgot to mention that my girlfriend had used him for their built-in entertainment center and we loved the quality and how awesome it made their living room look. They had gotten Will Product's name from their neighbors.... So, it was nice to know that you were getting someone who had been "vetted", so to speak. I can be a bit detail-oriented and OCD about some things, and William was amazing. He responds to emails almost immediately and was quick to address any issues that i had.
