I waited for this company to get back to me again but never did. After shopping around for quotes I called them back, Bob gave me a ridiculous price on a garage for almost 32K. and I was told I would not find someone that was doing a garage for under 16k. Well I found someone that did the same garage that I had asked for for 16k. People shop around this company has ridiculous prices. read more

Was the garage built well, overall? Yes. Was everything else a complete mess? Yes. Down payment in April 2021. Project not completed until July of 2022. There were a couple occasions where absolutely nothing was happening for 2 months at a time. Numerous messages unreturned or returned very late, sometime until threats of getting a lawyer. At some point the excuse was covid, an other it was a death in the family, at another their office manager simply told me she "had not been feeling herself lately" and that was the cause of a couple of months delay. Survey took an insane 5 months. Not because surveyors were not available, they were, but they used *their* guy, who was apparently very backlogged. I was charged for the services of 2 people for the survey - It was an old man doing the work, while his wife sat in a lawn chair and read a book all day. I was quoted the garage when wood prices were at their absolute peak, and even though the lumber was ordered a year later they had the audacity to call and ask me for more money - despite them already denying me a discount for the obscene delays. When they initially told me they submitted plans to the village (after my numerous requests for status updates) I called the village and they had not submitted anything. First plans actually submitted to the village had multiple errors and I had to catch it to have them correct it. When the plans were finally accurately submitted and G4U were not responding to my requests for updates I called the village who said the plans were approved a while ago and G4U had not yet paid the permit or right of way. Go figure. By the time the permits finally came through it was now November with freezing temps, so the project now had to be pushed until early spring of next year. The demolition guy they sent, which is used by at least a couple of companies (saw him at a Blue Sky job last week) knocked over a wall of the old garage on my neighbor's fence, 5 minutes after I told him to please be careful to not do so, since it was clear that was going to happen. He also knocked over a wall of the old garage on my garden, wrecking my wire fencing and he couldn't care less about it. The cement sub-contract they used poured a terrible mix of concrete for the apron with awful seams and crumbling edges. I had to call them out on it and they came back to tear it out and repour it. The concrete work is not particularly great, with rough spots and out of plumb areas along the perimeter. I've also got a surface crack forming already, less 3 months after the pour. The concrete guys also splattered wet concrete on the siding of my house, which was an absolute pain to try and scrub off after hardened. Furthermore, the concrete guys had fried fish for lunch and they threw the bones in my bushes, which my dogs found and nearly choked on. The guys who did the framing worked quickly and professionally. However when the lumber was delivered they damaged my chain link fence and chain link gate. They later repaired the gate, but only after I discovered the damage a couple weeks later and called them out on it and noted it was on camera. Which by the way, from the security footage they clearly saw the damage when it happened and decided not to tell me about it. [This should be enough for you not to use them.] I told them specifically the brand/color of siding I wanted to use, which had 2 month lead time. They waited to order the siding until the day they started the framing, which led to another delay in finishing the project. The aluminum guy they used for the soffits, gutters, door frames was very good. I would hire him in a heartbeat. The electricians were good, however, not the installer's fault, I told the salesman Bob that I wanted to put a 100amp sub panel in the garage later for some EV chargers, so he up charged me to put a 3/4" line to the garage from the house - only to find out now that per code you can only run 60amps with a 3/4" conduit, so I'm stuck with that. Dozens of cigarette butts scattered through my yard during the project. Additionally... About the same time I made my down payment I recommended Garage For You to my neighbor because of the initial experience with the salesman. His project was also mired with delays and poor communication, to the point where I was embarrassed I had recommended them. At least his garage ended up getting finished in 2021. read more

Garage For You built our new garage and poured our new driveway. They did a great job on both. The garage is solid craftsmanship, put together by two veteran builders. They took their time and did it right (although it did not take long, about 2 1/2 days). The new garage foundation is solid and smooth. And the driveway drains to all the right places, and looks like it will last us a lifetime. Ivona was the manager who kept us informed of all the contractors coming and going. They did all the permits and oversaw all inspections. I don't expect to ever need another garage or driveway. We live just south of downtown Arlington Heights and would be happy for them to refer any new buyers to us. read more

Bob was super responsive in meeting with us and helping design the garage. They will make custom garages. We wanted a room built into our garage to shelter some feral cats we take care of, and they were willing to do that. They also installed a cat door that we purchased. They build good garages. Our old garage was falling apart, as are many others in the neighborhood. We wanted a garage that would last. The quality of work at every stage was excellent: preparation of site, concrete pour, framing, roof, finishing/gutters. They took extra care to do things right. They use plywood instead of particle board for the walls, not that common anymore. All of the crew were highly-skilled and tremendously courteous. They were as quiet as church-mice too. We were hardly aware they were there a lot of the time. The job did take longer than expected. Part of that was due to issues with the site (excessive mud under the old garage that had to dry out and additional site preparation) but it seems the COVID pandemic generated a lot of home projects - we were in a work queue. Demolition started mid-September and work was completed early January. (Our furnace guy had a similar situation with a different garage builder, so it isn't just this company.) We didn't always know when people would be there, but since we're working from home with the pandemic, it wasn't a big issue. We learned to be Zen about the timeline - it was less stressful that way. In the end, we have a beautiful garage that should last for years. Very pleased. read more

This company doesn't answer emails, calls, texts. They don't update about the process of the permits. Horrible experience! Still waiting for them to return my deposit or send me a full description of what was paid with my deposit! read more

Good experience working with this company. They built us a 20' x 22' two-car garage with an extra wide 18' door for ease of parking. The sales rep, Bob, has years of experience and was able to answer all our questions. The garage was built exactly to our specifications, including some special details we requested. The company will customize in any way you like--they don't just do cookie-cutter garages. We were impressed by the quality of the sub-contractors (demolition, foundation, aluminum trim and gutters, and electrical). The carpentry crew that does all the framing, roofing, door/window installation, etc. is in-house, and they were fast yet meticulous in attending to every detail. Also, unlike some of the companies we talked with, Garage for You uses brand-name, quality materials (not "builders grade")--yet their price is highly competitive. They did not cut corners, and the final project is sturdy and pleasing to the eye. read more

We have been looking at a run down garage for years! It is so exciting to have it done. It looks really great. I appreciate all the help thinking through the details, like windows, and the overhang on the eve, etc. Thank you so much Ivona and all. It was on budget, faster than we thought and everything is so perfectly completed. If I can post a picture here I will, but FYI we haven't put sod in yet, so maybe in spring I'll remember to put up a better photo. read more

Although they took awhile to get started becauses of permits and such, Garage For You did an excellent job on our garage. Unfortunately, their follow up has not been great. Some of the siding is buckling and slipping and they don't want to come out to fix it. The garage also floods with heavy rain which it didn't do with the previous garage that was literally fallilng down. read more

Very well built garage, above standards in our village. Dealing with the office was another story. Too many people doing too many different jobs so they get confused with time lines. I've gotten tons of compliments from passer Byers. read more

If you want a simple, new garage, this is the place to go. We spoke to all sorts of contractors but when the salesman for Garage For You came by and told us he has worked on tens of thousands of garages, we knew we were in good hands. We designed a simple two car garage, picked complimenting colors to our house, and the price was reasonable. There were some delays getting started due to subcontractor scheduling, but within three months we had a new garage and are very happy. It was easy to communicate with the office via phone or even text. Am going to watch the siding as the previous poster has warned but so far so good. read more

Garage For You was a life saver. I started my garage project with another contractor (a so called "friend") after they screwed the me over on the job and I had to fire them I had to find another contractor. That's when I found Garage For You. I had quoted with 7 contractors and Garage For You gave me a price that was competitive with all of them even with some great upgrades such as insulated doors, gutters and tyvek wrap. The construction was done very professionally and quickly and the end result is an excellent new garage. I had a friend who is a building inspector in another town come look at the job before making my final payment and he was very impressed with the job they had done. During the final inspection from my city they raised a few picky issues regarding the electrical and hurricane tie-down straps. I called Evana in the office and she sent the electrician and construction crew back to resolve all of the inspectors concerns. Inspection passed no problem the second time. I've had the garage now for about 4 months. A few weeks back I had a small issue with a GFCI outlet that kept resetting. I called Evana and she sent the electrician out again and he replaced the outlet. No charge. Evana was great to work with throughout the entire process. She called or texted almost every day to let me know what was going on with the job. She responded to any questions or concerns I had throughout and she did an excellent job of managing the job. I can't express how impressed I am with Garage For You in quality, value and service. I would recommend them to ANYONE looking to build a garage. read more
