We are currently moving into our dream home built by Ed Saloga. From day one when we met with Ed we…read morehave been very impressed with his knowledge and talent. We told him what our hopes and needs were in our home Ed certainly delivered beyond our expectations. Throughout the process if he said I will take care of it he always did. He works with no one but the best I truly believe they all really cared about making us happy. If you are currently thinking of building a new home or taking on a renovation you need to meet with Ed Saloga. If you are like us you only want the best.

When you build a new home, you may not think that professional home inspection is needed, but…read morethat's exactly what you should do if Ed builds your house. We had several issues during construction that should have set off red flags, but didn't. I naively assumed, based on his reputation, that he values quality and would ensure a quality product. We trusted him and paid him well to do just that. The biggest problem we've had (so far; I now worry about what else was overlooked) is that most of our windows have rotted and had to be replaced. The windows were ordered with raw pine frames (aluminum clad exterior face, but the sides, top, and bottom, were unfinished) that were supposed to be painted on site. Of the windows replaced, none of the top or bottom edges were painted, so the raw wood sat on a flat aluminum sill. Every time it rains, water remains on the sill in contact with the window frame, so they began deteriorating from the day they were installed. A responsible builder checks carefully the work done by every sub-contractors and makes sure the work is done correctly. Unfortunately, this wasn't easy to notice and I didn't discover it until way beyond the 1 year warranty. Windows, when properly installed, are designed to last 50 years or longer. Ed took no responsibility for his mistake or the cost I incurred to replace the windows. A quality builder stands behind his work, rather than hide behind a warranty. Ed offers a 1-year warranty, but unless you have detailed knowledge of what to look for and the time to do it, the only things you likely will notice during the warranty period are superficial, paint, drywall, and trim. The serious defects will go unnoticed until much later when they are a much bigger problem. Some other issues we had further illustrate how product quality (and us as clients) were not a priority: - I discovered a portion of the roof at the peak was never shingled or otherwise protected. The roof framing was exposed to the elements. As a client, would you expect to have to climb the roof to make sure the structure was water tight? - A closet door was ordered with with the hinges on the wrong side (RH swing vs. LH swing). The door was installed without even asking us if that was acceptable. - A storm door for a screened porch had the same problem with the door hardware installed backward (so it locks from the outside). - Early in the project, I had given Ed a photo of the stone fireplace hearth that we wanted. On two other occasions, he asked for the same photo (presumably because he either lost or discarded the previous ones). But when it was built, it looked nothing like the photo - it was obvious that nothing had been communicated to the masons and Ed was perfectly willing to let it pass, until we complained. - A section of stamped concrete was done in the wrong color and pattern. It was not corrected. - A full tube of construction adhesive was left in the driveway. I drove over it and had adhesive covering the tire, wheel well, and fender of my car. When I complained, Ed just brushed it off. He did not offer to do anything to fix the problem.

These guys were fantastic. Special KUDOS go out to James & Sal as they were the primary team of guys on our job. They sweat the small details that most people would not even notice.

Our only issue with them on the kitchen project was with the can lights that were installed. We were not asked our opinion on size or placement before installation. Even with that, I would not hesitate to use them again on any future projects that we may decide to tackle.

When I called to inquire a few weeks later I was told Jim had been out of town but that he had a design ready to share. We never heard from them again. I never tired to call again. It's disappointing to waste time with contractors who seem to not want new business. The scope of my project was probably $60K or more and I can't even get a call back? I know it's Naperville and all but as far as I can tell my money is green. Oh well, we are happily moving forward with another firm who seems eager to work with us.

Our experience with the Kitchen Master has been fantastic. We had them rework our master bathroom…read more We couldn't be more happy with the results and the five year warranty is something you just don't find anywhere else. Several years ago, our house caught fire by a lightning strike and to make a long story short, the builder hired to rebuild it came up short on the quality and workmanship side of things. My wife and I were not happy with the results they left us with, so we hired a different company to come in and "fix" the bath. I won't name them, but they were even worse than the builders we originally had. So at this point we had an unusable master bath that was worked on twice and cost us thousands of dollars. We found the Kitchen Master and liked what we saw on their web page so we contacted them to help us with our hopeless master bath once and for all. From our first meeting with our designer, Anna, everything just went unbelievably smoothly. She guided us through all of our selection choices and helped us to pick out the items we were on the fence about, right in their showroom. The actual demolition and re-construction work was completed by Josh. We've dealt with quite a few contractors over the years and unfortunately, most of them we were not happy with but Josh was terrific. A professional through and through, he had the knowledge to get the work done quickly and at a high level of quality. Everything that was done, all the tile work, the custom glass shower and the installation of our new vanity counter looks absolutely amazing. His attention to detail was remarkable and the work he did to get things done right, did not go unnoticed by us. Tom our project manager, always kept us up to date with scheduling the work, and was in constant contact with us to let us know what would happen with the job at any given time. He was a great point of contact and never failed to answer our questions and return our calls or emails. We always knew what was happening with our remodel and never felt out of the loop in any way. Everyone we worked with at the Kitchen Master treated us with respect and put us at ease with their knowledge and level of professionalism. From the start we felt like we were in good hands. If and when we decide to remodel another bathroom, we will not hesitate to call on them. It's nice to finally feel like we've found a high quality team to work with that we can trust. Thank you Kitchen Master!
