I had my closet redone and ordering a custom door took longer than it should have (not their fault), but the communication while waiting for was lacking. I assume this is because they are a small shop and pretty busy not out of malice or incompetence. THAT BEING SAID. I had a great experience with DBR; the crew was considerate, kind and clean. They worked hard and did a good job. They completed many tasks adjacent to what I had asked for in the remodel. Overall I am very pleased with the work they did and I would use them again. I also was satisfied with the price of the renovation -their price came below another quote I had gotten.

They do not return phone calls or emails and do not explain their plans. Yet, they are extremely on the ball when it comes to requesting payment. Also, I felt the contractors were condescending toward my questions, and did not seem concerned or take responsibility when things were not done right the first time. Unfortunately we still have leaks in some areas but we are going to cut our losses and try to address these with a different contractor in the future. I will say, the actual construction workers contracted by DBR, were respectful, hard working, and did a great job (although they were sometimes not directed correctly by DBR...) hence the 2 stars! I wish I had the knowledge to just hire these teams and get the supplies myself, and skip the very expensive middlemen.

My wife and I selected Chi Renovation to do a complete remodel of our primary bathroom and to add a…read morehalf bathroom to our basement. We have nothing but the highest praise to give to them for delivering such a fantastic end result. The team we worked with was fantastic. We really enjoyed the hands on process of working with Elizabeth, our designer, who helped guide us through the entire process of creating our dream primary bathroom. We had a fair bit of back and forth throughout the design process but it resulted in some highly detailed and thorough design plans, which included realistic renderings, all the selected hardware and finishes, and overall layouts. We felt like we got great advice from Elizabeth, and she really listened to what kind of look and feel we were going for. We then got with Daniel, our project manager, who helped turn the plans we received into reality. He was also a pleasure to work with and always provided very clear project updates via text and phone. The teams he assembled for electrical, plumbing, and carpentry were all very professional and did great work. Daniel was also a great problem solver who was able to come up with clever solutions to any issues that came up. In summary, we are very happy owners of two completely new bathrooms spaces designed and built by the lovely team at Chi Renovation. We would highly recommend them for anyone looking for a remodel in the Chicago area.

We first worked with Chireno in 2020 when they remodeled our kitchen, and we loved the results so…read moremuch that we didn't hesitate to use them again for our bathrooms. We recently had our bathrooms remodeled, and we couldn't be happier with the results. The scope of our project included a full renovation of primary, kids and guest bathrooms, and the quality of craftsmanship really shows in every space. From the tile work to the fixtures and overall layout, everything feels high-quality and thoughtfully done. We especially appreciated the unique elements incorporated into the design, like the wall-mounted faucets, recessed vanities, heated floors, and heated bidets--features that truly elevated both the look and comfort of our bathrooms. The team was excellent to work with from start to finish. Elizabeth, our designer, and Eric, our project manager, were both fantastic and communicated clearly throughout the entire process. Elizabeth helped bring our vision to life with thoughtful design choices and a great eye for the overall look and feel, while Eric kept everything running smoothly and on schedule. Our contractor, also named Eric, did very high-quality work, and it really shows in the finished product. Everyone we interacted with was professional, respectful, and clearly took pride in their work. Communication was consistent, and we always felt informed about what was happening next. The team's level of care and precision really stood out--they made sure everything was done right. The entire process, from design to construction to the final finishing touches, was smooth and well-managed. They helped guide us through design decisions without pressure, kept the project moving on schedule, and made sure the final result matched (and even exceeded) our expectations. The end result is a set of bathrooms that not only look amazing but feel built to last. We're extremely happy with the quality of work and the overall experience, and we would absolutely recommend them to anyone considering a remodel.

The install went well but several of the step-boards have significant cracks in them, some 2" deep. We did ask if we should wait until Spring to install them, but were assured that the wood would be fine through the winter. The company does have a caveat in the estimate that some shrinkage, twisting, warping, and cracking may occur. We aren't concerned about the numerous cosmetic cracks, but the deep ones are too much of a head start for deterioration and should be replaced. We are being ghosted by Damien after several attempts over the past 30 days to resolve the situation.

We're genuinely surprised to see any mixed reviews for Revive. We can't recommend them enough! It's…read morerare to find a contractor you trust completely, along with all their subcontracting teams, but Ohad and his crew have earned that trust across multiple projects in our home. Ohad is an honest thought partner when it comes to design and overall project management. He'll tell you straight where it's worth spending and where you can save. And his team is hardworking, honest, and reliably on schedule (and mostly on budget!). We have also had the opposite experience of some of the warranty comments below. The team has ALWAYS come back promptly to finish final details/punch list items until we're happy with the project. And, they stand by the quality of their work. For example, after refinishing our floors, we noticed some marks that weren't quite right. Ohad agreed immediately that it wasn't up to his standard of work and sent a team to fix it, no pushback at all. The team tried a "quick" fix at first which was better, but not perfect. Without us even asking to fix it again, Ohad said it still wasn't to his standard and the solution was to rework the entire area. Due to some personal scheduling conflicts that made it hard to have workers in the house, we asked to delay for a few months past project completion and he was completely understanding... told us it would happen on our timeline and just asked for some notice before we'll be ready so he can schedule the team. That kind of accountability, owning a mistake and working around our needs to fix it, is exactly why we trust him so much. Plus the incredibly high standard of work on everything that went perfectly smoothly! We won't risk anyone else working on our home at this point.

Honestly, my experience was completely different from some of the negative reviews I've read. From the very beginning, everything was smooth, organized, and professional. Ohad, Lloyd, and the entire team were fantastic to work with. They were responsive, professional, and genuinely cared about making sure everything was done right. Any questions I had were answered quickly, and they kept me informed throughout the process. The project stayed on schedule, the work was completed as promised, and the quality exceeded my expectations. My bathroom was finished about a month ago, so I've had time to live with it and evaluate the work, and I couldn't be happier with the result. I honestly don't understand some of the criticism I've seen because it simply doesn't reflect my experience. The entire process was smooth, stress-free, and the finished bathroom looks amazing. The photos speak for themselves. I would not hesitate to recommend Ohad, Lloyd, and their team to anyone considering a renovation project.

Stanley came out and gave me an estimate within 48 hours. After going through numerous other…read moreestimates for our insurance companies, we chose to go with Global Home Improvement. Stanley gave me the timeframe and was honest about the timeframe for our bathroom job, but he also guaranteed that the job would be done in the timeframe we needed. We had to go with a new tile because the tile in the bathroom before was outdated and unavailable. He kept the price in the range that we needed it to be. Looking at the finished product I can't put into words how good of a job they had done. Redoing the wall, the bathroom tiles, and the tiling by the shower was all done correctly and they made sure to clean up everything when they were done. I will be calling Stanley for all of our home needs moving forward.

After a previous remodeling project that was expected to take eight weeks but stretched into four…read moremonths, I was understandably hesitant to start another renovation. That changed when I found Mako Renovations on Yelp. Andre and the Mako team delivered exactly what they promised, making them an easy recommendation. The quality of my kitchen renovation was excellent, but what stood out most was how smooth and stress-free the process was. Communication was clear and consistent, responses were prompt, and Andre was proactive in addressing concerns. When an unexpected plumbing issue arose with the raised bar area, Andre quickly reassured me and handled it without disruption. The project stayed on track, moving efficiently without compromising quality or attention to detail. Andre kept everything organized, provided regular updates, and consistently followed through on commitments. The finished kitchen exceeded my expectations, and the experience was a complete contrast to my previous renovation. I am thrilled with the result and would gladly hire Mako Renovations again. Highly recommended.

I hired Mako Renovation to install cabinet handles at my property. We agreed on a price of $350…read more Before starting the job, he came to the property to check everything and said the installation could be done. Once he started, he realized the screws needed for the handles were missing. He ended up making two trips to the store. After the second trip, he suddenly told me I owed him an additional $100. I felt pressure to accept before he left the work incomplete. What bothered me most was how he handled the disagreement. Instead of dealing with me directly, he texted my tenant and told him I had until the end of the day to pay him; otherwise I would "pay much more than $100." My tenant had nothing to do with our agreement and should never have been placed in the middle of a payment dispute. I paid the originally agreed price of $350 plus the $100 he later demanded. Because of the unexpected additional charge and the way he communicated afterward, I would not hire Mako Renovation again.

Mike listened and provided an AMAZING quote with a payment schedule that was forward thinking because I was going to ask for a payment plan. When the team got started on the deck WOW they were awesome and made it look effortless. But prior to that, with the description that Mike provided he even laid out the plan of what I should expect and the milestones for payment, even estimated when the city would come out to inspect the deck and make sure that it is up to code. No surprises, well, besides the 7:30am construction time, LOL!
