He is super knowledgeable and has ideas for things that would've never even occurred to me. The product itself is awesome and looks amazing. We've had them do very simple supply closets to a front entrance bench/cabinet that was literally the first thing visitors would see, and it was just beautiful. Raul, who does the installation, is accurate and exacting. He takes great care to make things look clean and professional. I can't say enough good things!

Long overdue review for great design, solid craftsmanship, and great customer service! I had Philip…read moredesign 2 walk-in closets (coat closet/guest room). I had Elfa in installed in the primary closet many years before this, but for both form and function, these closets were easier to adjust and looked nicer in my opinion. The price point was also so solid, no premium pricing for a brand name. Almost 8 years later, my condo flooded and the units were damaged. Philip provided a prompt estimate to replace the damaged parts and the work was completed quickly and is like new again! I appreciate his kindness and the way he was able to offer a solution without completely charging for a full closet replacement. Truly, my only regret is not having him do the closets in my new condo, but the builder was using another company and it definitely ended up costing me more for a similar product-- with less ability to move shelves/hanging rods around after install.

I am speaking from my experience and this is definitely not a custom-made closet. The material was…read morepre-made and they made it custom fit as close as possible to the size of my closet or the designer who came out definitely miss measured my closet. When I hear custom made, I would expect my design to go wall to wall and floor to ceiling and utilize every inch of my closet space or as close as possible. This definitely did not come close. I have an 8" gap at the top of the ceiling of my closet that allows dust to be collect up there. That really is a waste of good closet space. That could have been used for shelf space. These closets pieces are pre-made. There is no way you can possibly short me 8 inches on a closet when that much space could have been used for the shelves. I feel like I've lost so much space. I was against having someone come in and close off that 8-in space but I'm going to have no choice because I can't really use it for anything and all it's doing is collecting dust and it's hard for me to get up there to dust it off. That is just a dumb move to leave all that dead space up there and I would like an explanation of why that space was not used for my closet . Then there is a 1" gap on the right side of one closet that could have been used up for additional length for the closet and a 1 1/2" gap in the other closet. That's what makes me suspect that this isn't a custom closet but rather an already just pre-made closet material that's just laying around the warehouse that they just had that was as close as possible to the space that fit my closet. Why wouldn't you utilize all of the space in my closet wall to wall? That one inch gap that you left, I had to have someone come in to close up that one inch gap so the shelves would no longer collapse in the closet. Someone had to basically put shims in between the gaps of both closets for the shelves to stop pulling away and collapsing as you can see in the pics. Those metal pegs are not secured to anything so those over time on the right side just weakened and the shelves collapse. The shims had to be put up against your custom-made closet to secure it and hold it together so it would not collapse again. That's pretty sad for something that cost me a couple thousand dollars. This was not a nice experience. Your installer was late, your cranky old lady who answered the phone was rude when I called and then she claimed that someone had called me and said your installer was going to be late and nobody had ever called me. At another point I had spoke to someone and I believe his name was Ed, I spoke to him about a situation with those little metal pegs that don't hold those shelves in place and he told me I'm sure you can figure something out so they don't slide off. Nothing about your company is professional at all. And I would just suggest that everyone goes to California Closets because I have dealt with them after I dealt with your company and everything about that company was wonderful and I did not have a single issue with the closet that they installed. I am just sorry that I did not start with them because I would have saved myself a headache.

In 2024 a friend of mine, a 1985 World Champion Chicago Bear--Shaun Gayle, with an assist from my…read morelaw partner, Dan O'Brien, surprised me with a placement of a beautiful teak wood park bench along the Chicago River by the Centennial Fountain in memory of my mother, Angeline Winters, who passed away at age 93 in October, 2023. I have lived at my condo about a block away and for the last 30 years and for the last 15 years of my mother's life she lived with me as she was handicapped and used a wheelchair. Well, the spot where my friend placed the bench was exactly where I would wheel her out for the fireworks every Wednesday and sometimes on Saturday. Well, because it is a beautiful bench and had a plaque with my Mom's name it is used quite often and sometimes people do not respect the bench and so it was wearing down and I needed to have it sanded and retained.... I talked with friends and searched the internet quite thoroughly and found Chicago Wood Refinishing. I saw the website and the work that they displayed and decided to give them a chance and met with Kevin....actually, Kevin came to me at the site of the bench and surveyed the bench's condition and told me what they would be able to do to restore the bench to its original condition. Kevin came out a second time and removed the bench planks and took them back to their business offices, where he and his father did a phenomenal job in bringing the color and quality of the bench back to its first day it was displayed to me in July 2024. Kevin and his dad are fine craftsmen when it comes to wood....any kind of wood. Now my Mom's bench is back in use for those who want a place to sit and think....or to watch the fireworks on Wednesday and sometimes, Saturday night. If you do, you will not only see the quality work they performed, but you just might meet me...watching the fireworks with my Mom. Thank you Kevin and father at Chicago Wood Refinishing.

And i can say with no shadow of a doubt, working with Home Carpet One (Jonathan Carey in particular) comes out at the very top of my positive experience list. For background, I purchased 3 rooms of wool carpet, 2 custom-made large rugs and 3 flights of stair runners with landing carpet. Firstly, their work is unbelievable - Jonathan's guidance and knowledge was so helpful, and gets you your quote quickly and scheduled for install even faster. The installation team are easily the best I've worked with. They come prepared to do a completely custom job that's tailored exactly to your needs, right down to sewing on stair runner edging on site to make sure the colors work once the carpet is laid. They happily resized a rug (on site) for me once i realized I'd ordered it too large, and redelivered the product in 3 days. Today, they installed our stair runners (less than 2 weeks after i ordered them) and the whole way along they checked that i was happy with the look, and offered sage advice on lines and patterns that i never would have thought of. Honestly, don't waste your time going anywhere else - i wish i never bothered with the horrible salespeople i experienced over at the Mart! Great value, fabulous product, and truly excellent service.

The lack of professionalism and inability to apologize for their shortcomings is staggering. The…read moreonly way I can rationalize their 5 star reviews, is that they must have been paid for. From start to finish, which was very short lived, they were rude, delayed, and disorganized. I tried to set up an appointment via their online booking form. It took them 2 days to get back to me. No worries, I understand, they are busy. The woman finally gets back to me at 5 :30 p.m. on the weekend of Xmas. I respond with a confirmation first thing Monday morning and she notifies me that someone else has my appointment time already. So apparently, they give out the same appointment time to many people and it's first come first serve. This is where is all goes down hill. I let her know I think this practice is unprofessional and tell her that that 9 a.m. (one of the other appt times she offered) will work. No response. Nothing, nodda, zip. Day of appointment: Door bell rings 30 min early and it's some guy (who knows what his name is because he never introduces himself). We inform him that he is early and we aren't ready yet. He tells us that our appointment is for 8:30 (nope, it's 9) and then tells us that he has other appointments and can't accommodate our time. Then, he looks through his phone for the email chain and sees that it's actually set for 9 a.m. because he backtracks and finally says that he can do 8:45 a.m. Fine, I'm not happy about all of this, but fine. Through all this he never apologizes. He rolls back up at 8:55 a.m. and when I answer the door, I explain to him that I'm confused by the mixup and let him know about the email exchange with the lady behind the email. He says, "Well, I'm here now so we can move on". Um, no, we can't. This is just getting worse and worse by the second and I tell him so. He comes in and as I'm letting him know that I'm upset by their unprofessional behavior and disorganization, he just stares at me. Doesn't say a word. At this point, I'm fed up and tell him an apology would appropriate. He then starts blaming ME for their unprofessionalism and horrible customer service saying that I took too long to get back to them in the first place. At this point, I told him to leave and escorted him out. I have no idea if this was Mike, the owner, or not, but this was one of the most appalling customer service experiences I've had in a long, long time. This was NOT 5 star service as suggested by the other reviews on here. I guess, your mileage may vary with these guys? So, I'll be using another company to make my spare bedroom into a walk-in closet. In response to Mike's rebuttal, I wish he would have apologized for any of the mix ups at any point, however, he never did. Despite his completely inaccurate account of the story, much of which I have emails to prove. If he finds it insulting to know that I found the email exchange and early arrival to be rude and unprofessional (the "insults" spoken to him), then so be it. Hopefully he will learn from his mistake and provide more professional service to his future clients. And yes, I am the one that booked the appointment, and emailed with him the entire time. My fiancé opened the door.

I can't compliment this business enough. I received two quotes - one from a company I'd used…read morebefore in my condo and one from Mike. Even though I'd used the other company in my last home and was satisfied, I went with Mike because he was a lot more responsive and his quote was more competitive. I couldn't be happier with that decision! Mike went way above and beyond my expectations. Our closets are tricky - very old house that has been rehabbed, but still with difficult closets. Mike assured me it was no problem for him to give us great solutions. He even discussed some of the construction aspects of my home showing an understanding for why the closets are the way they are in contrast to the other guy who complained about the 'developer.' The icing on the cake, though, was after Mike beautifully completed the job, I had a handyman over to change the door from inward to outward swinging. He completely wrecked one side of the closet! I called Mike to ask about how I could fix it and at NO CHARGE he offered to come out to replace the broken part!! He came within a week and fixed the botched panel in less than 10 minutes in a courteous and professional manner. That is way above and beyond the call of duty. I would absolutely recommend Mike to anyone. Having organized closets is life changing and Mike is such a pleasure to work with, from start to finish to fixing other people's mistakes :)
