However, they ghosted after that. I never got a quote, nor did they reply to my message following up.

Left me wondering if they would disappear once work started if I had ended up moving forward with them.

Chicago southwest side single family house built in 1948 and nothing has even been renovated,…read moreoriginal guts and tub. The bathtub almost killed my elderly mother when she slipped and fell trying to step out, so I decided to kill the bathtub before it ended her. Prior to the job, the tub always had drain issues and the water would pool up - due to old/poor drain design. I shopped around for quotes and I will tell you exactly why I went with JoBre Design and Renovation: -JoBre was the most knowledgeable of all the quotes I recieved prior, even from as big as Kohler, and other small contractors - JoBre impressed me with the extensive knowledge when coming to my house and examining everything. -JoBre identified issues and possible issues that were completely missed by other contractors. -The estimate wasn't the most expensive one, but not the cheapest. It was also clear that there could be other issues due to what they find behind the walls. The estimate did not skyrocket, as all additional work and recieipts of sub-contractors brought in were presented at the time issues were found such as: Rotted wood window frame from water damage due to loose tiles. Plumbing/drain issues from out of compliance old plumbing. My priority was SAFETY FIRST, then functionality and design. I am not a design person what so ever, so I asked JoBre to make all of the decisions and choose all of the supplies. JoBre just checked with me on colors and basics before proceeding, which I was fine with. The time estimate to complete was 1 week or less. Because of the unexpected issues that came up, it took approximately a week and a half, and JoBre was literally working 10-12 or more hours a day working to make everything PERFECT and flawless, weekends, weekdays. Just doing demolition on the old tub took an entire day with a sledgehammer, because the tub was old pure cast iron that weighed in excess of 500 pounds. I had a junkyard put me in contact with someone to pick it up - I didn't want to pay extra to have a dumpster outside the house for such small pieces. As you can see the shower is now amazing and JoBre perfected the tiling work one piece at a time. Soft close shower door, drains fast, sprays more water - it is 100% better than what it was. I highly recommend JoBre if you want the job done right and to perfection. If you're looking for a "quickie" express job, JoBre may not be for you - but I can tell you that JoBre will do everything right and keep you informed every step of the way to make sure everything is done right. To add more safety, after these photos I added a Gorilla Grip bathmat and a Stone mat for when you exit the shower.

We really appreciated a courtesy call ahead of the scheduled appointment. The guys showed up on time, had booties ready to go and generally took extra care to keep things neat, tidy and not scuff the walls or dirty up the floor (which sometimes happens.) The cost of the repair was clearly communicated as 2 possible options depending on the discovery, we got lucky and the cheapest option won! With that said, the crew didn't take any shortcuts and made sure that the task was completed properly and in a very timely manner. Bonus, when requested, they also gave us an on-the-spot estimate for future improvement work. Very reasonable and no surprises. Looking forward to future projects and service calls. I think we may have found our new plumbing service!

BEWARE - HIRE AT YOUR OWN RISK!…read more ZERO STARS! I recently hired Frank Giannese from Frank's Remodeling and Handyman Services in Oak Lawn, IL, to fix a minor bathroom sink clog. I initially trusted Frank to resolve the issue, but after multiple failed attempts and repeated requests for more money, it became clear that he was taking advantage of my willingness to give him the benefit of the doubt. I always try to support businesses I've worked with before, which is why I gave Frank the opportunity to handle this simple repair. However, after three unsuccessful attempts, I decided to hire a local family-owned plumbing business instead. They resolved the issue in just 20 minutes--whereas Frank spent hours over multiple days with no results, even suggesting the absurd idea of tearing down a wall. Since the issue was never resolved, I requested a partial refund for the incomplete service, but my request was denied. Given this experience, I believe the Better Business Bureau should be contacted regarding these questionable business practices. After looking further into this business, I noticed a pattern of similar complaints, including one from another Yelp reviewer, Karolyn J., who experienced nearly the same issue. This leads me to believe that my previous positive experience with Frank's business was due to Steve, who is no longer with the company. Given my recent experience, I can no longer recommend this business to anyone--family, friends, or even strangers. Save yourself the time, money, and frustration by looking elsewhere. A minor problem shouldn't turn into a major headache.
