With over 1200sq ft it was going to be quite the task and assuming heavy price tag. Ted Benson gave us the best quote of 5 other contractors and adjusted quotes at least 5x due to changing our mind on things over and over again. He was so patient. So attentive and a true pleasure to work with. His design and finished product blew our minds. Fred and Lee....I don't know where to start. These two men are true work horses. They brought all the lumber and decking up by hand. Keep in mind no elevator and no way to use a crane. Just pure muscle and patience. Not only are they amazing carpenters they were so friendly and informative. I guarantee you won't need to find another quote. Best pricing hands down. And their work speaks for itself. I could ramble on but I don't want to have this turn into a short novel. This is the first time I have reviewed on Yelp, since having the app for 4+ years. But this definitely deserves a review and 5 star status. Thank Ted, Fred and Lee!!!

John Watson helped us with our design decisions and was very involved with the building process. He also kept us informed daily during the weeklong building time.

I would highly recommend American Deck Builders!

John, the co-owner (Mike is gone), is fantastic to work with: knowledgeable, responsive / prompt, courteous, patient, always on time. He took care of everything from detailed plans, to getting the building permit, to arranging for the village's inspections. Miguel and his crew worked long days and did an excellent job: careful, precise, efficient, and we were always asked for our preference in the few instances where a mid-course aesthetic decision needed to be made. I'm picky, and an engineer, and I couldn't be happier with the result. Highly recommended.

Sam is the best. He recently finished renovating my new rental property and it looks spectacular…read more He renovated the kitchen, installed new porcelain tile floors with electric radiant heat, and created a laundry room in the basement. Apart from being very easy to work with, he is a true craftsman that understands good design and knows how to get the job done on schedule. As someone who works in the construction industry, I recognize and appreciate quality work. Sam is very professional and is not there to waste your time. The apartment had a lot of interest as soon as I posted the listing. The custom kitchen really made the apartment stand out in the increasingly competitive Pilsen neighborhood market. I just signed a lease for the apartment and could not be happier with the product and service that Sam has provided. This is the second project that he's done for me and, as usual, he didn't disappoint. I look forward to working with him on future projects. Do yourself a favor and give Sam a call for your next project. You won't regret it.

Sam is truly a Class Act…read more Having been through our fair share of harrowing and disappointing experiences with handymen and contractors in the past, we were extremely wary as we got started with our kitchen remodel planning process. As a matter of due diligence, we invited 10 contractors to propose a quote. For one, Sam's estimate was very competitive and reasonable (compared to other quotes). More importantly, he quickly grasped what our overall objectives were for the space, and proactively made some great suggestions that gave us the confidence that he was in sync with our requirements. As with most customers that go through a major remodel, my wife and I went back and forth on our choices for the cabinets and countertop, and not once did Sam flinch or pushback. On the contrary, there were certain additional items that were not part of our initial discussions (and estimate) that Sam voluntarily brought up and offered to do for us (at no additional cost) despite knowing that it would mean additional labor to him. Aware that we had wanted the remodel to be completed before Christmas as were hosting a party at home, Sam spent most of Christmas eve literally rolling up his sleeves and working non-stop for over 8 hours (without even meal breaks) and left only after he personally cleaned up the space. It is not always easy for small business owners to consistently put 'customer service' ahead of profits, but that is exactly what I observed of Sam, time and again. He did not accept the final payment until he was certain that we were 100% happy with the final outcome. I do not believe I have ever written such a long review for anyone, and that is hopefully a testimony to Sam's work. We cannot be more delighted with our new kitchen and I am happy to share some pictures. We look forward to working with Sam again on our future home projects.

Any concern I had read about to ask they already had covered- flashing, sealing joints, replacing wood. Everyone who has seen our new deck comments how beautiful it is!

This company refused to complete our three 3d renderings because we were so disappointed, shocked,…read moreand had safety concerns about the first rendering. Kristen, the wife of the owner, became belligerent, threatening us with a lawsuit if we reviewed them. They have only done one rendering, refusing to comply with a signed contract to complete the next two that are in the contract. They also refuse to reimburse any of the $699 we paid, even though they refuse to complete what was agreed upon in the signed contract. The BBB took this complaint, but as this company has done with the other complaints, they refuse to respond. I would stay clear of this company. The first rendering did not have proper posts that would even support the deck we wanted built. It looked like a kid did the rendering and they said it was because it was the first one. Well, I expected the first one to knock us off our feet since it was $699 and that it would only need a few tweaks. Instead it raised red flags. They should have been embarrassed to send it to us. Also, need to mention that Kristen inflates the price unjustifiably. Also wanted to note that it is not illegal to write a review of a company.

The next day, they arrived on time for the estimate (actually 5 min early which I didn't expect) and the gentlemen was very polite and gave us a great deal to restore both our front and back deck. I shopped around so I know what I wanted to pay. So we scheduled them to begin in a few days. A few days later on the agreed scheduled day they came out and pressure washed and cleaned the entire deck. When it dried, they came back to sand and then stain. They stained it with a beautiful rich cedar color! The quality of the work was fabulous! I can't believe how much of a difference it makes in our backyard!
