Don't EVER use these people. They used to be excellent years ago when my relatives used them at our…read morefamily home but recently they've gone completely down hill. I got them out for two different relatively small projects on two different occasions to the tune of $2000 and $1500. Here's what happened: Virtually all the repairs were TOTAL JUNK. In one cracks came back within less than a month - and that was after the decorator had painted the room and I'd moved all the furniture back! Other repairs bulged and broke away from the walls, again after I painted! I've had to have somebody else repair them. (And of course pay for them a second time!) The subsequent plasterers commented that the original repairs looked like they were done by a total amateur. McNulty didn't dig out the cracks. They didn't treat the surface properly so the plaster didn't bond to the wall (hence it bulged and fell off). With the really bad cracks at the corners of doorways, they should have dug out and put in metal mesh before plastering. All they did was slap some plaster on the surface. I did ask them to redo the first few cracks that reappeared - which they did. (Big deal they were on the premises anyway for the second job.) But then the second repair failed as well in short order so I gave up on them. The subsequent repairs done by other people are holding up so there isn't an underlying problem with my house. I happened to mention all this to a realtor friend who said "don't ever use them - they have a really bad reputation in our business". I don't know what happened to this company but PLEASE NOTICE THAT THE GOOD REVIEWS ARE A FEW YEARS OLD. They used to do good work but something happened awhile back. Too bad because it is really hard to find good plasterers.

Very neat--full cleanup at the end of every day. They were also very responsive and did more than they had agreed to, as we kept finding new areas that needed touch ups. Thomas Restoration came in about 20% cheaper than the other Oak Park premium painter (Ronbo). We tried to get a proposal from another "Oak Park" firm (which is actually just an Oak Park mail drop) and they never even came back with a proposal. Twelve years ago, we had the house painted and went cheap and regretted it. We definitely got our moneys worth with Thomas Restoration. Highly recommend.

After 3 months of completion of the job, the building discolored, cracks appeared, moisture was coming into units and mushrooms growing on outside of building.

Have looked into litigation as well. Please see photos below in what they did to our building. I have heard there are several cases against them for faulty work. I would give them a negative score if I could. interviewing new companies to fix that will be excessive for something we already paid for and caused a worse problem then before the repairs were completed.

I found JJ Construction through Yelp…read more I would highly recommend JJ Construction. They provided an honest quote. I actually went out and received 4 quotes. While JJ wasn't the lowest, they were the most comprehensive. For example, all of the other quotes quoted the shingles and work, but JJ Construction quoted shingles, tiles, gutters, and all hardware (new fans/vents/gutters). They are highly skilled. They did not rush the project (who wants a roofer who rushes?) and cleaned up every day. Communication was excellent. They installed Class 4 shingles, which lowered my home owners insurance by 20%. The work quality was top notch. I was highly impressed by JJ Construction and I would recommend them to anyone. Thank you Matt, for a great job.

They have seasoned professional carpenters that showed up early and finished in one day. I can't recommend them enough. My wife and I are extremely grateful we found Jacek and Kacper on Yelp.

The second pic is the copper the new roofer installed (the same work that Lorenzo was referring to in the text message string). The new roofer also confirmed that was one source of water leaking in my attic. He also found another leaky section where the roof was caulked instead of flashed. More cutting corners. These resulted in water leaks in my attic, entry way and garage. And in response to Lorenzo's comment on what's included in the 30-page insurance estimate - flashing is on the list, including step flashing, which my new roofer commented was completely original and not replaced when Mr Reliable replaced the roof. Another thing he was paid for that didn't get done. READ YOUR ESTIMATES CAREFULLY - I didn't and Lorenzo took full advantage. Bottom line, my out of pocket cost to fix what Lorenzo didn't was $2,700. This doesn't include the dry wall repair and painting still needed in the interior. Not to mention potential mold remediation. If you're read this far - move on. Find someone else.
