We went with a complete overhaul of the building including many custom elements that we didn't even know existed. The team and ownership group was very hands on from the start, kept us informed and delivered on their promises. They have an actual office that we consulted at which is not always the case with other companies. We were able to see their work first hand before committing. With other companies in the past, you almost have to go off of their word, which can be risky, but this made us much more comfortable signing up with them. Remodeling and new construction is never easy but when the end result looks this good, it's definitely worth it! Give them a try, you won't regret it,

We needed to repaint multiple rooms on multiple floors of our Skokie home... but what we originally…read morethought would be a small project blossomed (to our delight) into a moderate remodel that's completely transformed our living space thanks to Payam and Optim Design. To give you the punch line first: we highly and completely recommend Optim Design for your remodeling needs. You cannot go wrong for work ethic, vision and creativity, clear and straightforward proposal and billing, staff professionalism, staying on schedule, and the thing that ultimately matters most: results. I met with 7-8 potential contractors for this project. Payam was the clear winner. Optim Design was one of the only companies that really understood our vision, who was able to augment that and make additional suggestions, and who provided a professional and transparent bid for the work. Take, for example, one of our day one requirements: the installation of a Murphy Door hidden bookcase door. Payam was the ONLY company we talked to who had experience installing them--frankly he was the only contractor who knew what I was talking about. The other companies either looked at me like I was nuts (big red flag) or nodded along, clearly just pretending to understand (bigger red flag). Optim Design undertook a 7-week project that almost to the day nailed the milestones and timeline. Payam's staff were extremely hard-working and completely professional. Payam himself was on-site every day if not multiple times/day. I would trust Optim Design staff to work in my home if we were not there. Among the work we had done: Three floors of painting and plaster work Multiple light fixtures installed Ceiling fan installation Glass block window repair Window casement repair Wall construction Carpet tear out Vinyl flooring installation Dry bar tear out Drywall and plaster Murphy Door hidden bookcase installation Gas fireplace door/insert replacement Design consultation As noted at the outset, we unconditionally recommend Optim Design for your remodeling needs, be they large, small, or in-between.

Payam Bahrami PHD of architecture "The House Doctor", saved…read moreour lives! We (husband and I) had a horrible experience with another "contractor", that "contractor"destroyed our home and took our money. It was nothing but a shell with a ton of work to be done. I was so disenchanted with the whole process after I fired the first "contractor". In my despair, I decided to look on Yelp. I could not find anything that told me about Optim Design LLC but I decided to leave a message anyway. Payam called me back not once but three times! He was not sure Yelp had provided the correct information. He comes to my home very jolly and genuine. We go see the house and then discuss the business. He was willing to take on a complete gut rehab where he had to go backwards and fix stuff the other guy did not do correctly. We negotiated Payam and I. He worked with me in a time frame that was comfortable for my family. He accommodated my thoughts and designs, answered all my questions and did not try to tell me what to do or gaslight me. Always listened and if there was room he made suggestions. A lot of time women have difficulty with male contractors, we know that females everywhere! Not Payam! He looked at me as a design equal (I am a color theorist, a designer in my own right) we did the house together. Payam had a core crew of 3 guys some days 5 (sometimes I would sneak up on them and they were always working) that worked Sun up to Sundown. All the guys, Johnathan, Betto and Octavio (forgive me, I forget the other 2 names) are disciplined, trustworthy, kept their heads down and worked! Love that.. A person in charge, running his business instead of his business running him. Payam was always available to me in a matter of minutes. He texts you back the fastest I have ever seen! Answers the phone if you call him, imagine that? Someone answers the phone still. Fantastic! Payam installed new everything! Doors, windows, rewired entire house, brand new gas and water pipes. Built an additional full bathroom in the basement and assisted me with designing a Master Bathroom of my dreams. Never mind how the kitchen is FABULOUSLY MAGNIFICENT!! Custom built cabinets, quartz countertops. The house is gorgeous!! I will say this.. Dr Payam is not cheap.. That is okay with me! In the long run what was most important is how fair, more than fair, More than fair Payam is with his honesty in pricing. All you can do is ask someone to do a good job and treat you and your hard earned money with respect. Payam could have charged me more money and taken longer, done stupid "contractor" tactics. No not Payam Bahrami PHD He is a good stand up man, aren't many of those floating around now a days. Icing on the cake ? ALL of his work, anything his company does work on in your home or commercial property comes with a one year peace of mind guarantee! What?! That's unheard of unless, you are certain you are good at what you do! Here we are, done 6 weeks later . You get what you pay for and we won!! We won!! Thank you My house Doctor. I cannot wait for our next project together! M and S :-)

We hired Chris and his team for a home renovation project that included a new kitchen cabinet under…read moreour breakfast bar, home theater setup and custom built-in shelving around our fireplace. From the start, the pricing was very reasonable and completely transparent. Even when additional work or extra care was needed, there were never any hidden charges. Any added costs were discussed with us beforehand and only moved forward with our approval. It feels rare to find a contractor who is genuinely trustworthy and stands by their quoted pricing. The entire team was friendly, professional, and a pleasure to have in our home each day. They took the time to talk through decisions with us and shared their decades of experience whenever we felt stuck, helping us make choices we were confident in. One moment that really stood out was when Chris arrived extra early one morning just to inspect a specific section of our built-in shelving. He told us the alignment had been keeping him up at night and wanted to come back with the right tools to make a cosmetic adjustment. It was one of many examples that showed how much he genuinely cared about the quality of the finished product rather than simply getting the job done as quickly as possible. It's hard to overstate how valuable that level of craftsmanship and pride in their work is. We couldn't be happier with the final result and would gladly recommend Chris and his team to anyone looking for a contractor they can trust.

I would give these guys twice the number of stars if I could. All deserved. From the very first…read moremeeting, I loved Chris' energy and creativity. He was the first person who understood my vision for gorgeous, handcrafted walnut cabinet and drawer fronts. Everyone else in the market was trying to sell me on laminate or a faux wood fabrication. Chris invited me to visit the company's shop before making my final decision. He welcomed me in, proudly shared their work, and even had a walnut sample made for me! That sealed the deal. They are true artisans. Long story short, I ended up hiring them not only for the cabinets, but for the entire kitchen remodel from countertops to lighting, electrical, painting, and appliance installation. They brought great ideas to the project -- and did it all in less than 3 weeks! The whole crew was so thoughtful, talented, and detail-oriented - and they kept my place as clean as possible during construction. I'm hiring them to remodel my bathrooms next!

That's just one example of the lengths to which he and his team will go, they built us a temporary kitchenette while the work was going on, sparing us the expense and hassle of having to move out or order delivery throughout the process. All in all, Just Builders is wonderful.

We had water issues before so we added drain tile, aluminum wall studs, water resistant drywall, ect. We upgraded to an energy star hvac system. We moved the laundry room. We put in four large egress windows. We added two legal to Evanston code bedrooms. We added a family room. We added a full bathroom. It came out beautifully!!!! We also have not had a drop of water this whole spring or summer. (Even through those huge storms!) Response time was fast. Explanations were thorough. And in regards to Natalie......I think that she was new to having projects done in her house. Seeing as she did not have a time table, yes, it is logical to finish roof construction and framing and other such projects. Ron was showing respect for his crew. Oh, and regarding Ron's appearance? He is a Mennonite carpenter. So.....yeah.....he has a pretty big beard.
