I should have guessed when I tried to schedule with him, and he asked me to remind him the…read moreafternoon before. I sent him pictures of the jobs we wanted him to do, which he acknowledged, saying that it looked like a full day's worth of work. I reminded him the afternoon before, as requested, and he then told me he had another job in the morning. He then texted me the morning of and asked if he could bring a helper, doubling the hourly rate but getting more done more quickly. I approved (stupidly). He then showed up and asked me if they were going to be working inside or outside (all of the jobs I had texted him about and sent pictures for were obviously inside). I walked him through it, and he told me he could do all of the work. Fast forward to when the work was completed (poorly). My wife called him to complain about the way his guys left things, and he started trying to pit my wife and I against each other. He changed his story several times--despite the fact that most of our communication was via text, so I had records of it--and tried to paint me as the bad guy to my wife. To his credit, he wound up coming out to try to fix some of the problems himself. However, he wasn't able to fix much of it the day he came, and he offered to get us a discounted quote on fixing the rest of it. We declined. He explained on this last day (after the fact) that it is difficult to exactly match paint colors (for covering patches he did on the walls) and that he wasn't able to tack down the area of carpet we had asked him to on the first day because he isn't a carpet-layer. Had he explained these two things upfront--and had he not engaged in all of the emotionally manipulative b.s.--this review may have been different. As it is, I wouldn't recommend hiring him for any more-involved work. If you need a cabinet fixed or bathroom hardware mounted, he's probably a fine candidate. For anything more complicated, my experience leads me to recommend going in a different direction. Photos are of "completed" work.

Taylor, Karin, Jonathon, Rick, Brent, Jose, G, Marion, Paul, Joe and Juan did a great job, thank…read moreyou. I missed a few people, I think. Sorry. Inviting strangers into your house to make a lot of dust and noise can be stressful, but the whole crew was very nice and trustworthy which alleviates a lot of stress. Hiring AC as our contractor for 2 bathrooms, demo, framing/finishing, floor refinishing, plumbing, electrical, tile, project management, and CAD and cleanup restoration was a great value. We're happy with the results and feel great. AC made lots of suggestions we hadn't considered which turned out to be very helpful. At the same time they consulted with us and digested our direction very well. The BUILDERtrend app was also a great way to communicate during construction. To all those considering, I think you can be confident in their professionalism, craftsmanship and responsiveness. Good luck!

I do NOT recommend Ron and his company R-Deco…read more OVERPRICED Ron provides quotes that are extremely overpriced, at about 2x the price of any other company. A recent example was for a siding replacement project where he quoted almost 2x the nearest 3 companies who were all licensed, insured, and bonded (more on that later) and over 2x the lowest priced company who was not. And this was on a project in an HOA that he'd been working on for over a decade, so his bid should have come in the lowest of all because he'd already done the work for numerous other homes/units. UNCOMMUNICATED SCOPE CHANGES For the two projects I received a quote from Ron, both had their scope so drastically modified from what was requested by me that the projects and their prices were incomparable to what was actually needed. On the first project I asked for one door and 1/4 of a window to be recaulked, and he came back with an extremely expensive quote that was actually for caulking basically the entire exterior of my home/unit. On the second project I asked for all the siding to my rooftop penthouse to be replaced and he came back with a quote for just 4 of 12 panels to be replaced, without ever mentioning the scope change, perhaps so he could have me blindly sign the contract thinking I was getting what I wanted at a reasonable price when I would really only get 1/3 of what I asked for. EXCESSIVE DEPOSIT Ron charges a 60% deposit at contract signing and 50% of the remainder a week before the project begins, essentially requiring he is paid 80% of the already 2x overpriced job 1 week before any work even begins. This leaves absolutely no negotiating power to the buyer as Ron has already made all his profit and can just walk away or do a terrible job as he pleases. This kind of deposit is also completely out of line with industry standard, where companies require deposits of 50% or less, not 80%. RELUCTANT TO PROVIDE CREDENTIALS Ron won't provide you with either his license (which he doesn't seem to actually have, later on that), his insurance, or his bond information upfront like any other legitimate contractor. He requires that you sign his contract before he will provide you any of this. That's like someone claiming they're an airplane pilot but requiring you to commit to flying with them and only offering to show you their "credentials" when you're already on the plane and the doors are locked. This is unacceptable and unprofessional. LICENSING NOT FOUND Perhaps the reason Ron doesn't provide his credentials like licensing is that he in fact is NOT licensed, at least certainly not as a roofing contractor per the IDFPR website, though he advertises these services. He also cannot be found in the Chicago contractor database, even though he wanted to perform such General Contractor and/or Electrical license requiring tasks like swapping out an electrical exterior GFCI outlet during my siding project. Apparently he has been working in my HOA for over a decade, with the only reason that I've found so far being that he's the only one that's offered as an option for work by the HOA and Owner's just go with him to avoid the hassle of finding someone else. Of the 5 Owners that I've talked to though, all have negative experiences with him, including for overpricing and bad/not complete work. I will be recommending my HOA never work with Ron and his company R-Deco again and I would recommend you avoid him and his company as well.

I can't say enough great things about Ron and his team at R-Deco Painting & Home Improvements. I…read morehave now worked with Ron and his team on remodeling 2 houses. They continue to deliver great results in unprecedented timing. I was on an incredibly tight schedule and Ron made all adjustments needed to make sure we hit the timeline and didn't sacrifice quality of work. I couldn't be happier with the result. They took down a wall and opened up my kitchen, installed all new cabinets and lighting, installed new flooring, put in a new staircase, re-did my laundry room, updated a bathroom, and many other smaller items throughout the house including putting in new toilets, re-staining hardwood floors, putting on new closet doors, etc. I would absolutely use R-Deco Painting & Home Improvements again!

My enclosed porch roof had a single leak. I hired Dave at DWD Renovation to do a tear off and…read moreinstall new rubber roofing on the flat portion and new shingles on the sides. After Dave/DWD finished the job, there were other problems and several leaks: 1. Dave/DWD didn't seal the rubber roof seams. I could put my hand right under the membrane. (See pic) 2. Dave/DWD didn't use any insulation. The rubber was installed directly onto the plywood. 3. Because of all the water damage, I now had to replace the interior porch ceiling. When I tore it out, I discovered that Dave/DWD used a thinner plywood for the decking and not the 3/4" specified in my contract. 4. Dave/DWD did not replace all the old roof decking. My contract specified 100% replacement. The difference in thickness between the old and new roof decking formed a roof buckle. (See pic) 5. The roof flashing Dave/DWD installed incorrectly, or not at all, caused water damage to the plaster walls of two of the interior rooms. (See pic) 6. Dave/DWD didn't use braces on their ladders. Instead they leaned the ladders directly onto the gutters which crushed them and the downspouts no longer lined up to drain into the gutters. Dave's guy screwed the downspout to the gutter as a "fix." It didn't work. The rain ran down the side of the house into the foundation. I had to install all new gutters and downspouts on the porch. Most of the problems surfaced after Dave/DWD was paid in full. I hired Dave/DWD because he lives in my neighborhood. I thought that would be an incentive for him to visit the job more frequently and be less likely to do a poor job and rip me off. The last time I saw him in person, I asked him again about my roof. He always agrees to "fix it," but when I ask him if "fix it" means starting over and repairing it correctly like he should have done the first time without breaching my contract, he just shook his head and walked away.

DWD did a gut renovation of our bathroom and a partial reno of our kitchen. While we are delighted…read morewith the final result and the place really looks beautiful, there were quite a few issues with the construction managing that made our review go way down. First, there were 3 separate equipment/fixtures that were wrongly installed and we needed to bring this up to their attention so they would re-install, from the kitchen sink in which the drawers didn't close because the piping wasn't installed correctly to thw microwave that wasn't allowing proper ventilation - all of those are items that were shown in the instructions which I believe weren't read. Secondly, the amount of tile that I was asked to order was 1/2 of the amount that we actually needed! And they told me that I needed to get more the day we ran out, so this caused 1 week delay, around 400$ in shipping fees and we had to extend our lease since wr couldn't move in to the place without the bathroom finished, so one more month worth of rent. Of course none of these expenses, nor part thereof, were deducted from the final fee. Finally, and most importantly, there was an issue with the shower not draining properly. I brought this up to Dave's attention immediately and his reaction was to deny there was a problem for days, saying that the problem was the tile that I chose (as a designer I've used this tile before with no issues so it was just poor craftsmanship) then proceed to tell me that he "didn't get what the big deal is, just squeegee the shower like most people do (??)". Eventually and after lots of pushing and some unpleasant phone calls he agreed to fix the issue, but he had already moved on to other clients and took 2.5 weeks to schedule the work. All in all we are happy with the way the place looks, and Dave was always responsive, but I know as an architect what things are acceptable or not and the shower incident and the way it was handled was definitely not. That being said, he is very fair priced, so if you have a tight budget like we did and are willing to be very much on top of the construction then DWD would be the right place for you!

We are on the third floor of a walk up condo, and we have a private rooftop deck. We started…read moregetting leaks in the ceiling in two places in our kitchen, and called about a half a dozen places in and around the city to come out and assess. The proposals were all over the place. Some companies said it couldn't be done without ripping off the rooftop deck and repairing everything. Some companies said it wasn't the roof at all, it was condensation inside the house? Jeff at Rollin Contracting was way more honest and practical in his assessment. He pointed out where he suspected the two leaks were coming from, but said that you never really know until you rip up the roof and move the air conditioner and take a look. He told us that roof repair was tricky, that the guys who said we might have to replace the whole roof could be right. But he wouldn't start with that, he would start with the less expensive approach. Granted, there was the risk that if it didn't work, we would have wasted that money when they re-did the whole roof, but we decided to gamble on a $2000 repair rather than jump into the $12,000 repair of the whole roof. Rollin Contracting was the only one who was honest and open and gave us options. He was also the one who was most confident in where he thought the leaks were coming from. It has now been one month since they repaired both potential sources of the leak, and neither of the leaks have come back. And in case you haven't been paying attention, we've gotten absolutely drenched this May. Meaning there is no doubt in my mind that they successfully fixed the leaks. The contractors that came to do the work were great, they didn't even enter the house. I offered to let them come inside to get to the rooftop, and they said they preferred to just go up and over to keep our house clean. While taking up the wooden boards on the rooftop deck to do the roof repair, they accidentally broke one of the boards. They went to Home Depot and replaced the board that day. Not a big deal, and super quick to fix it. Also, at the last minute (after we had signed the contract), I realized that I had forgotten to ask them about the fireplace, which also occasionally drips water during bad storms. I asked Jeff if he would have his guys look at the chimney to see if they could identify the source of the potential leak and to let me know what his recommendations were to have that fixed as well. He went ahead and had his guys caulk it while they were up there without even charging us. I know that's probably not a huge expense, but it was still a nice gesture to just throw that in. So across the board it was a great experience. Would definitely work with these guys again and recommend them with confidence.

We filed a compliant with the BBB for Rollin's failure to obtain necessary permits, workmanship…read morefailures and lack of professionalism. Please think twice before hiring this contractor - it will not be worth it if there are any uncertainties re: your project and they will say anything to get your job. We hired Jeff to perform some deck work for our three flat. Jeff quoted us $6K to replace certain posts and railings. One year later, additional work was clearly required because railings were loose and Jeff performed an additional $3K worth of work. At no time to Jeff represent himself as anything other than qualified to perform the work. Turns out he never even got a permit for the work. We were cited by the city for non-compliance shortly after his second round of work. He complied with fixing some of the issues identified. When he met with the inspector to review the work and confirm compliance, he essentially yelled, screamed, stormed off and refused to fix any of the additional work. We are now left with a deck that still needs work, $12K later. Jeff continues not to respond to emails/requests for him to finish his work. Jeff misrepresented his ability to do deck work according to city law and code. His unprofessionalism in resolving the issue that he created (he should have just said his people didnt do deck work maybe instead of doing a poor job and then getting upset when someone challenged him to do the work properly) was so disappointing. Do not work with this contractor.
