They took the time to listen to what we wanted and offered helpful suggestions that really elevated the final design. The quality of the work is outstanding -- the tile installation is flawless, the drywall and flooring look perfect, and everything was completed on schedule. They kept the workspace clean each day and communicated clearly throughout the entire process, which gave us total peace of mind. Our bathroom looks absolutely beautiful and feels like a brand-new space. We couldn't be happier with the results and would highly recommend Speedy Gonzalez to anyone looking for reliable, high-quality remodeling work. We will definitely be using them again for future projects!

The work that they did was great! Our bathroom is beautiful!

The first days with decent weather in late April the deck was washed, and by early May the deck was finished. A crew of 2 worked a full day power washing and bleaching the deck and 2 sections of yard fencing. Every part of the deck was thoroughly cleaned, including areas not normally visible, and all areas of the deck that were surrounded by bushes. Within about a week, as soon as we had a few sunny days and warmer weather, a crew of three worked a full day sanding and staining the deck and fence. The deck floor was power sanded, and all other surfaces were hand sanded, before all sawdust was carefully blown away and stain was applied. Deck Doc did an outstanding job, and I would not hesitate to recommend them. Communications regarding scheduling were excellent, work was done competently and on the days and at the times promised. The area around the deck was left completely clean when work was completed. Thank you for making my deck look like new.

We were so impressed with his work that we hired him to paint our duplex when we were ready to put it on the market. The color he chose made the duplex look so nice. We also hired Donchris Designs for several projects for the Highland Park home we purchased. They remodeled two of our bathrooms, put in a kitchen island, resurfaced the fireplace, installed screen doors, put down carpet in the master bedroom, and installed recess lighting. He did such a wonderful job. The "designs" part of Donchris Designs is invaluable to us. My husband and I are not very creative when it comes to designing our renovations. We basically told Don what we general like (colors, styles, shapes) and he designed the bathroom, fireplace, kitchen, etc. based on our feedback. Then he brought samples for us so we can visualize how the finish product will look like. We went with all his suggestions and were very pleased with the result. It was nicer then we can imagine. At all times, Don was meticulous, professional and very knowledgeable. Most of all, we really feel that they genuinely care. We were so pleased with Donchris Designs that we recommended them to my sister and brother-in-law a year ago when they were looking to remodel their bathrooms. Since then, Donchris Designs remodeled three of their bathrooms and recently finished their basement. My family and I wholeheartedly recommend Donchris Designs.

He lives and breathes kitchens and baths, and will help you realize your vision -- he is absolutely phenomenal.

Adrian discussed any issues that came up, while also giving us great solution options. They were clean, organized, fun to work with and meticulous in their work. Always on time and on schedule with the whole project. Along the way we had additional needs, and Adrian & ChiChi were always willing to help us with a smile!!

I had made all the measurements but was afraid it wouldn't be exactly precise. It seems no one wants to install Ikea, go figure... ha. Anyway, I had started out with a different company (a friend of a friend) and that job ended with the demo because they had literally walked in and doubled the price they had quoted me, not to mention they said they'd worked on Ikea projects but it was obvious they hadn't. So I called Artisan and was able to set up a date right away. They honored the price quote they originally gave me months ago, minus the demo, which I greatly appreciated. Great start! There were a few snafus due to the nature of my space (a loft in an old building), but Adrian always came up with a solution to solve the problem. They were efficient and pleasant to have around. Always on time, made sure they cleaned up, and kept me in the loop regarding everything they were doing. I'm very happy with my kitchen and really appreciated the dedication and obvious attention to detail Adrian and the team provided. I highly recommend and wouldn't hesitate to contact them again for any home improvement project.
