They sent someone out quickly and with no hassle even though it has been over a year since they completed the initial work.

My outside bottom front step coming up to my house came apart a couple of days ago and I asked Matt to look at it. Much to my dismay, my stairs were rotten!!!!

I'm so happy we chose them, we will not go to anyone else for home projects! They spent a good amount of time for the estimate. We needed a full gut rehab of the main level bathroom plus the stacks and water lines run up to the attic for a future attic bathroom install. Matthew and Stanley were 1 of 2 contractors who considered the whole picture, and they came in at almost half the price of their competitor. Work ethic is on point. They were here at 8am every day and gone by 5pm. Everything was clean and organized after each work day. They taped everything so we didn't get dust in the rest of the house. The project was done timely, even though we had quite a few snags (rusted pipes, painted original woodwork, etc). They even called their woodworking guy to make me a custom vanity! Piter, the plumber, is incredibly skilled and an all around nice guy. As soon as they started, we asked them to help with a basement bar project. Electrical and plumbing were completed simultaneously while they were working on the bathroom. These guys are licensed, insured AND give you a 1 year guarantee on all labor! None of the other bids offered that. Honest, reliable, detail-oriented, and all around good guys. Get a quote, I promise you won't be disappointed.

There was always a team member working - even on weekends - which was really impressive during the labor shortages due to Covid. Americraft also installed a new back, patio door and frame for us because our old one was rotting (after only eight years). It was very handy that they are a Pella dealer, and we were lucky to have the materials come in just in time for winter. Needless to say, we are extremely pleased with the work Americraft did for us to make our home truly our dream home. Highly recommend!!

We found Rite-Way to be outstanding and could not be more pleased with their quality of work. With the work having been completed over two years ago, we have lived in our new space and are very impressed with the ongoing quality of their work and the craftsmanship of their cabinets. Marv and Walt worked with us and addressed all of our questions and concerns. Remodeling is never problem-free and unanticipated issues always arise. Marv and Walt were very open and understanding as issues arose. Our village building inspectors were also aware of Rite-Way and once they discovered Rite-Way was our general contractor, the inspections went very smoothly. We had only one issue arise during our warrantee period and Walt followed through on a timely and professional basis and resolved it quickly and professionally with the subcontractor. I highly recommend Rite-Way and the team we had, Connor and Miguel.

I wish I could share positive remarks similar to other's experience with this company but to be…read morehonest, the experience with our kitchen remodel was awful. The positives were the initial consultation, and the cabinet quality. Once the build started; however, everything went downhill very quickly. Our project was suppose to be from June 5th-July 28th and ended up "finishing" in December. First, we were given a calendar to follow the progress of our kitchen and know what was happening on what exact day; however, that itinerary was never accurate. There were more than two weeks of accumulated days where people were suppose to work and no one showed up. When a lonely soul would show up, he would be wandering around the house or sitting outside in his truck waiting for the project manager because he said he has never done a task like framing. Good to hear as a client :( Second, we had scheduled in advance ABT to install and panel our appliance. We chose this date based on this calendar we were given. When it came close to the install date, we had demo remaining and still down to the studs. We hounded the project manager about the timeline, he would reply with the same response that they were on time. This wasn't the case because they were far from being ready and thus we lost our spot for install. Finally and weeks behind we got dry wall up, and low and behold, we had walls off by 7inches. The worst part of it all was that I had to get my tape measure out, check their work, and point this out. We had to harass the higher up's and they gave us a new project manager. They had to tear down all the incorrectly measured walls and because of this incorrect measurement we had to decrease the size of our pantry. Installation day for my appliances came and we had to use their recommended company Wehrli because we lost our ABT spot. This ended up being $700 more than what ABT charged us. We asked if this would be covered because of how delayed they were and we got a whopping $250 credit...Our backsplash still has holes in the grout, one of our cabinets were sanded down when they sanded our drywall, there were seams that I had to caulk myself, and when their cabinet medics came to touch up the imperfection of our cabinets they missed many spots we flagged. We have under cabinet light rails that are not even, and still have small holes in our walls. This is the finished product we will have to live with because there was never a final walk through and there never will be. Looking back, our experience felt like we chose any ordinary contractor but paid a kitchen design company price for it. We waited a year for this company to be available because of they sold us on how we can trust them that they would manage this project in a timely manner as my wife and I are both busy with our own lives; but in the end, it ended with us managing, checking, and following up constantly only to be disappointed with the final result. Wish we had a better experience.

Our experience was so positive, we will never work with any other contractor! Project One: restoration and rehab of a significant National and Chicago landmark: The Krause Music Store in Chicago, Louis Sullivan's last commission. Jake inspired trust and confidence in us from the beginning, patiently and thoughtfully answering all our questions. The project was barely 1% over budget, that too mainly because of changes we requested. This project won several awards, in no small part due to GGC's flawless execution: AIA, Dreihaus Foundation/ Landmarks Preservation etc. Was published in Architectural Record, The Tribune, on WBEZ, etc. Project Two: We loved working with GGC and the architects so much, 5 years later we hired the same team to design and build us a new contemporary home. This meticulously designed and constructed home gives us such pleasure and joy daily. Even today we turn to Jake/GGC for references and advice on any resources and maintenance questions. He has never failed us yet, however busy he is!! He even recalls all the constructions details, all the subs who worked on these older projects. Thats completely invaluable to us. Its not the norm to have a literate, communicative contractor who sticks to a budget and schedule. We consider ourselves fortunate to work with Jake Goldberg/GGC after hearing of other hellish contractor stories. There was complete lack of any conflict in the whole process. Freddy and Jason GGC are the most amazing foremen, we had complete trust an enjoyed working with them. Hard working, going above and beyond to produce a stellar product and maintaining a super relationship with their client [us]. Some of the words we'd use to describe Jake/GGC are: ethical; experienced in quality construction; provides a super high quality and solid product; quality conscious; fair minded; impeccable aesthetics; resourceful; adherence to a schedule; great honest skilled subs; value driven; calm and calming. We recommend them unreservedly. Working with this stellar company on our next project is a no-brainer!

Arete Renovators was completely wonderful to work with. You hear a lot of horror stories about…read moreChicago contractors, and I can say with 100% certainty that working with Arete is the exact OPPOSITE of those horror stories. My contractor, Ned, and his team saved my sanity this year, as my initial bathroom remodel turned into a bathroom remodel PLUS gut rehab of the kitchen due to a flood in my high-rise building. More details below, but the tl;dr version is the Arete team, led by Ned, was easy to communicate with; had great systems in place for keeping track of everything that was going on; deftly navigated the challenges of working in my high-rise condo while a major riser project was under way at the same time; and gave me a fantastic finished product in exactly the time frame they had promised. I honestly cannot recommend them highly enough. I initially hired Arete just to update my small bathroom in my 1-bed, 1-bath condo in a high-rise. From the minute I met Ned, I knew he listened to me, understood what I wanted and knew which questions to ask to make sure the end result was exactly what I was hoping for. Arete's initial estimate came in a little higher than the other companies I got estimates from, but I had a good feeling about their systems and their great communication, and I am SO GLAD I went with them. When the Arete team came out for the initial walk-through of the bathroom after I hired them, Arete's owner was with them. While he was in my unit, he noticed a significant amount of damage in the kitchen from a flood a few weeks earlier, damage that had been completely missed by a vendor sent out by my insurance company. He encouraged me to contact the insurance company again and request the proper insurance vendors come out on site to investigate. Those investigators eventually discovered a huge amount of water damage and mold behind the walls, which necessitated a gut demo of the kitchen. If the Arete team had not noticed the telltale signs of this damage, I would have never known to push back on the insurance company for additional services, and I would have been living in an unsafe environment as a result. Then, when the insurance vendors gave me the runaround and claimed they couldn't rebuild the walls in my unit for at least three months, Arete agreed to step in and complete the work, and it was done within a week. Then they helped me upgrade my countertops as well. At the same time, they were diligently completing the bathroom remodel (the initial reason I hired them). Throughout that process, they effectively communicated the timeline, contacted me with any hiccups, made sure they got approval for any changes, talked me through the choices, handled all the logistics without my having to do anything (they even picked up some of the the supplies I ordered and stored them for me until they were needed!). They were just generally fantastic to work with. They finished the bathroom in the 5-week timeline they had initially anticipated in their estimate to me. I am SO happy with how the bathroom turned out. Their work was impeccable. So, so grateful for Arete, and for my beautiful new kitchen and bathroom!
