If we'd have known our bathroom remodel was going to turn out like it did, we'd have done it…read moreourselves. After having spent over a month in our "new" bathroom, all we can see are the mistakes and items left unfinished. Very early on concerns were raised about the poor installation job done on our tile and we were assured it would be remedied once it was grouted. We knew that would not be true and it was not. After all, how was grouting a bad installation job going to fix it? it isn't, it's just going to make it more permanent. When the installers ran short on our custom ordered tile, we were assured that even though it was going to be installed wrong, the tile seam in the shower corner would be matched up and that we wouldn't notice that it was installed incorrectly. It does not match up and it is very obvious it was installed incorrectly. In fact, it is the most common question asked: "Why did you have them do your new tile wrong? Wasn't it custom ordered?" The installation company came out to look and agreed to "fix" a few issues, but both Mike and the owner commented that we shouldn't look closer. We already had and we knew the tile installation job was chock-full of mistakes we will never unsee. Even the installer that was sent to "fix" the few items out of many, commented that he didn't know why they installed it like they did - confirming it was a bad installation all along. We hired what we thought was a professional to remodel our bathroom including new tile. We waited 10 weeks for custom-order tile only to have it installed very poorly and nobody willing to admit that it was a bad installation job or take responsibility. We're not the only ones that have noticed it. We've had plenty of comments like, "Why is the tile like that?", "Oh, did you do the tile yourself?", or "Did you have it installed like that so it looks old?" Nope, just got duped into paying for a poor installation job. And that's just the tile. To put it as kindly as possible, all-in-all this has been nothing short of a nightmare.

Our DJK Dream home was completed in October of 2024. Since then, we have enjoyed moving in,…read moredecorating and living a more relaxed life because of the amenities it provides. The process took over a year and the most stressful part of the process was cramming our Frenchie, my husband and I into an apartment during the construction. I think the best compliment I can give the team at DJK is that I was sad when the home was complete because we thoroughly enjoyed working with their team, their processes and watching the progress. In fact, if we could, we would start building another home with them right now! With the above said, we want to share a little of our story. I have lived in the Chicagoland area since August of 2012. One of my first memories upon house shopping around the West Highlands and Downtown Naperville were the giant signs on various construction fencing with large green letters - DJK. I instantly investigated with some desktop research and was tremendously impressed with their transparent and thorough information on their website, djkcustomhomes.com. Let's just say that that initial curiosity led to my early decision that when the time comes, I wanted to build a DJK home. In 2016 I purchased what I could afford in the West Highlands, a split level built in 1959 that had been flipped in the hastiest way possible. No problem, my goal was to live there until the roof gave out and then maybe I would be blessed with the means to knock it down and build the dream home I imagined. No way - that was probably just a pipe dream, right? Seven years later I found myself to be newlywedded and my husband and I were looking for a larger abode to combine our two households. We did our due diligence to be responsible and look for a house we didn't need to knock down, but nothing seemed to fit. Elated and nervous, my husband and I walked into the DJK model home in Downtown Naperville not really knowing what to expect. I am sure you can imagine feeling out of your league. Would the salesperson even talk to us, and would we be able to get anything close to our budget? Do not be intimidated when you walk into their model home showrooms. Meeting Shannon at the model home was like running into a long-lost part of the family. We were welcomed and felt like this dream was going to be possible. Our meetings with the other team members felt just the same. Why? They listened, were compassionate and didn't make us feel like our budget was ridiculously small or that the dream house we wanted to build was unattainable. When sitting down with Cassy, she had solutions, ideas, and the expertise to work with the vendors and trades to deliver what we envisioned. She and the rest of the team wanted to be as proud of our brand-new house as we were. COMMUNICATION is what needs to be emphasized with DJK custom homes, because they have mastered it. If there was something of concern that we noticed, our project manager, Mark, was on the case before we could even bring it up. We found DJK's website portal to be perfect for communications and we were never kept out of the loop. Please choose DJK custom homes for your building partner. We want them to be around to build our next home and many other family homes in the future. They are worth the money. You will come out a long and exciting process, relaxed and ready to enjoy your dream home.

We recently built our home with DJK, and overall, it was a very positive experience. The quality of…read morethe work is strong, and the team was professional and committed throughout the process. That said, I did feel that some of the pricing on upgrades ran a bit higher than expected, and like with any large build, certain trades contacts were stronger than others. The standout of the entire experience was our project manager, Andy. He was truly fantastic--responsive, proactive, and always willing to go the extra mile to make sure things were done right. Andy made what could have been a stressful process feel much smoother, and he was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. If you are considering building with DJK, I'd recommend them--especially knowing you'll be in great hands if you're lucky enough to have Andy as your project manager.
