Getting new gutters and downspouts is like getting new tires for your car - not super exciting. But, I am thrilled with our new set up! It's also hard to get super excited about working with Chicagoland contractors these days, but Lester is truly one of the best contractors we have ever hired. I liked him from the moment I spoke with him on the phone and liked him more after each interaction. And his crew is just as likable, professional, and respectful. They were not the cheapest, but the quality is unmatched. We like things done right and they exceeded our expectations. You can believe the hype - Lester and his crew are the real deal and I would recommend them to anyone who cares about their property and wants things done right. read more

Hetman Enterprises - Work of art! - Siding Near Me - Schiller Park, Illinois

There is good reason Hetman Enterprises is awarded with 5 star ratings. I had my gutters replaced from storm damage and the job was performed professionally by a crew of workers that treated my home and landscaping as if it was their own. They only work with high quality materials. Their response to my inquiry was fast and getting a estimate for the work to be performed was detailed. The company gives you a good feeling that your repairs will be done correctly and within the contract terms. I highly recommended this company the ratings don't lie. read more

I can't imagine our project could have gone any more smoothly than it did with with Lester and his teams at Hetman Enterprises. And we did it ALL - new siding, new gutters, a new roof, new windows and new doors (front door is not in the picture). Not to mention a new, front-door entry/overhang. All in the span of 4-6 weeks. Lester and his guys are straightforward and knowledgeable at a decent price. I've dealt with contractors in the past and had some bad experiences. Lester knows his business, and stands behind his product. He's not trying to get the project done so he can move to the next paycheck. He's gets it done right with a lot of the great characteristics I look for in a contractor: a)  Lester had a good price, and there were no surprises in his quote compared to the final cost. b)  He's a strong communicator. He almost always responded immediately. And for the couple true concerns I had, he wasn't suddenly missing in action for a few hours. Also, his guys are not the type of team bothered by your questions. Most questions are not too stupid. And trust me: I don't know what I'm doing. I had some dumb questions. c)  Of course, there were a couple hiccups as there are with any project of this size. He and his guys identified them quickly and handled them without begging to get it done. He has high expectations, so there were very few instances where I needed to point out something that wasn't up to my expectations. d)  There isn't BS selling with Lester. He's not pushing anything, but he knows when you need a suggestion and a nice touch to your project. And when he wants to recommend something, there isn't a single option. He provides choices with a good explanation of the differences. e)  He's not killing himself to increase his margin on every aspect of your project. There were a couple upgrades where he could have easily added to his profit, and he didn't. f)  Our village inspectors are notoriously - let's generously call it - stingy. He handled them like a pro. There were no problems and I didn't need to get involved. This is the second house on our block Hetman and Lester completed. Both look great and, we're getting all sorts of great compliments. The best is, "It looks like aliens landed, took away your old house and replaced it with a different house." Thanks Lester. read more

Hetman Enterprises - New Look! - Siding Near Me - Schiller Park, Illinois

Lester and his team did a great job with our new siding. House looks wonderful and pricing is totally fair. He kept us apprised on status, often asked our opinion on certain designs, and provided quality work. I will certainly work with Hetman Enterprises again and would certainly recommend them. read more

Had a great experience with Lester and his team. He is very responsive, my job was scheduled quickly and the team did great work. I would definitely recommend Hetman Enterprises. read more

I did not end up selecting Hetman. However, they were responsive to providing me with a quote and their pricing was very strong. I did not select them because I wanted a window exterior/interior color combination that was not offered by their preferred window manufacturer (Alside). However, based on my experience with previous Alside window purchases, Hetman provides much better value than the dealer that I previously used. read more

From the start to finish, Lester and his team were great! Very reliable. Cleaned up after each day. I would highly recommend this company. read more

Once again (our second time using Hetman) a superb job. We had gutters installed on our garbage and a corner of our siding fixed. Quick to schedule, responsive in communications, great price, quality work. Lester is always a pleasure to work with, he makes the jobs so easy to get a quick estimate and then get the work done. A very smooth process from start to finish! read more

We just had Lester and his crews come out to replace a couple of windows and the gutters for our house and garage. We are repeat customers. Back in 2011 they replaced our front windows. Lester was quick to come out and give us a fair and reasonable quote. I didn't bother to contact any other companies for additional quotes. As expected his employees are well trained, detail oriented and very courteous. After the work was completed, they did a Great Job in cleaning and picking up all work debris. I would not hesitate to contact Hetmen Enterprises in the future for other projects. read more

Lester was honest about the time table throughout the whole process. We received 3 quotes and Hetman fell right in the middle. They replaced siding, gutters, fascia, 4 windows, adding 2 more windows. He offered trim options and was clear about any additional expenses that could come up as the tear off began. The two employees that completed the project were professional and skilled. We absolutely LOVE our new siding! Thank you Hetman Enterprise for our new castle. Please feel free to use us as a reference! Erin and Ralph B. read more

Lester and the team at Hetman Enterprises were an absolute pleasure to work with. Our project couldn't have gone any smoother. We received a few quotes for new gutters and went with Hetman's. Their pricing was competitive, but included extras that some of the other quotes did not. Up front and honest company. Great crew, on time, clean and very professional. Would highly recommend this company. read more

When we were looking for a company to replace our siding, we received a recommendation from a contractor to go with Hetman Enterprises, and we were impressed with all of the positive reviews online. We contacted Lester, and he was very friendly and responsive over the course of a few months (because we were indecisive about when to replace our siding and the color/s we wanted). We had confidence that his company would produce high-quality work, and his quote was competitive as well. I was ready to move forward and hire Hetman Enterprises. At the last minute, my husband ended up getting one last quote from a relative's friend that does siding. We decided to go with our family member's friend, but if we hadn't, we would have chosen Hetman Enterprises for our project. read more

I wanted to replace the gutters and some windows in my home, so I contacted Hetman Exteriors because of the very good reviews. Lester came out two days later and gave me an estimate on the windows and gutters. I had already received window estimates from three contractors and he was right in line with those quotes. I also liked that Lester's group could also do the gutters rather than use two different companies. Lester kept me apprised all the way as to the status of everything and he even suggested delaying obtaining the permit by about a week and a half so that it wouldn't expire at the Village's fiscal year end and I may need to get a new one. Since the windows had to be fabricated, they did the gutters first and did a great job. As soon as the windows were ready, they were out the next morning to install them. I was completely satisfied with their work and highly recommend them. read more

Lester came out and gave me price to do some work on soffit, facia, and gutters. He was very courteous and professional.

Installed new gutters. Everything about this company was fabulous. They were prompt. The invoice matched the estimate. The workmanship was first class. Very professional from start to finish. read more

I needed new gutters on my garage. Lester was immediately responsive on the phone, came to my house early before work for an estimate, and gave me a professional written estimate quickly by text message. No funny business, honest, and respectful. He acts like he actually wants the job, unlike a lot of contractors. The work was done within a few days, earlier than expected. The gutters look great. Payment was easy, as he has an app for everything! I would highly recommend Lester and Hetman Enterprises for any work that they can do. read more

Lester's guys replaced our fascia, soffits, and gutters. Our wood frame Chicago bungalow is old with lots of sags and off angles making the job a little more difficult I imagine. They got the job done in a week and it looks great. Gutters had a hardy test this morning and they performed very well. Lester was easy to get a hold of and he did not try and up sell or hide costs. From my experience I think he runs a very honest business. I highly recommend Lester and Hetman for exterior home work in the Chicagoland area. Based on our experience we'll use him for windows and siding next year. read more

We hired Hetman Enterprises to replace and remove our old gutters as we were getting water in our basement. Lester from Hetman quickly connected with us when we reached out asking for quotes. He guided us on the right gutters and placement. Lester stayed in contact with us throughout the entire project and even moved us up in the schedule as we kept having water issues. After the first rain with our new gutters - NO WATER in our basement! We'll be working with Lester and Hetman going forward for anything related to roofing, siding, etc. Awesome Job! read more

Lester and his team replaced my garage gutters, repaired a "critter hole" in the fascia board on my house, and added a downspout because my gutters were not draining properly. They did high-quality work, and Lester's price estimates were hard to beat. Highly recommend! read more

Lester is the greatest. Our whole neighborhood had a bunch of hail damage, and became a hotspot for door-to-door visiting companies asking to take a look at our roof. It felt a little predatory, so we contacted Lester based on the good reviews here. He had to do a lot of haggling with our insurance company, which initially said there was no damage to the roof (based on a drone visit). Lester took photos, and then when the roof was finished submitted whatever proof was needed to get the additional reimbursement for depreciation. Lester was responsive, easy to work with, timely and he never tried to up sell us anything we didn't ask for. Thanks! read more

Had Lester replace 6 windows in one of our rentals homes. We personable and easy to work with. Prices and work was great. We are now planning on having him do some more windows on our home. read more

I had Hetman Enterprises install new gutters on my house. I got four bids and Hetman's was the lowest. Dealing with Lester was a very pleasant experience. He is a genuinely nice guy. Lester was very patient with me as I took a few months to make up my mind and kept coming back to him with questions. Once we picked a date and figured out the details, his crew came over and finished the job in two days. Before the install, Lester came by three times to measure, discuss details and pick the color. He was never pushy and gave his professional opinion. The quality of the install was very high. They positioned the downspouts in a very smart way. All the gutters look to be level and secure. The work comes with a seven year warrantee if anything should go wrong. I highly recommend Hetman Enterprises for gutter installs in the Chicago area. read more

Lester is amazing - really spectacular. He is knowledgeable, beyond helpful, trustworthy, and personable. He answers every question with true expertise. His prices are very competitive and he is honest in everything he quotes and does. His team is detailed and tidy and there is no debris left at the work site. Their workmanship is stellar. We had aluminum wrapped over our existing car port, trim, soffits and window frames. The team replaced rotted wood as needed and his team took photos prior to doing so. As Lester put it - "once and done". We are relieved to never have to paint these areas again. The work is just beautiful - we feel that our home had a face lift. Our duplex partner also had her side done (windows only as she had the other wrap work done previously by someone else). She is also raving about Lester - we are overjoyed at his work plus he finished the project exactly when he said he would. Lester is who we will be using for any future work such as roof, gutters, new patio doors, etc. He is a gem and we are recommending him to our friends and family as the company to use. We have had many repairs done over the years that we have lived here and Lester is a shining star among contractors and a truly wonderful person. read more

Lester's crew put up new gutters, soffit, and fascia on my house. Before they came, I was getting leakage in the basement, and had to walk through a waterfall to get in my back door. The fascia board was disintegrating in some places. I could stand under the gutters and see gaps between the gutter and the roof, and I could stand in the neighbors yard, and see that the gutters were sagging, and not properly routing the water away from my head :( Lester and I discussed this and worked out a way to get the water away from the house and properly routed so that it did not cause leaks or unplanned hair wetting. There are 2 roofs and the higher one was routed badly onto the smaller lower roof. Lester figured out a way to fix this so the larger roof drained directly into the downspout, and not into the gutter of the lower roof. He also suggested wider gutters on the lower roof, which I did. In addition, he changed the gutter color, and was able to wrap the corner pieces of the aluminum siding to give an updated look. He also fixed my leaky back door. The price was reasonable and comparable or a bit less than others I had quote the job, and he was willing to do the trim wrapping which another provider was not willing to do. I felt that Lester was always straight with me, and I never felt like he or his crew was doing a shoddy job. Note that Lester has moved to Gurnee, IL, but services the Chicago area, and is a great choice for Lake County residents who need new exterior work. I would be glad to have Lester do additional work on the exterior of my house, and probably will have him do something about the windows next year. read more

Saw a Hetman sign in my neighborhood and gave a call. Lester Galecki came out in a few days. Prompt. Knowledgeable. Fair. Not pushy and did not come off as a "salesman."

Lester and team did a great job. It's rare these days to find an honest, quality, reasonably priced crew that starts strong and finishes even stronger.

I would definitely use them again and recommend them. read more

They did great work and were very pleasant to work with. You will be happy you chose them for your next job. read more

My fiancé and I live on a third floor condo and needed four windows and one sliding glass door to be replaced. Lester and his team were great to work with in order to get this project completed. He was very responsive, which you don't always get with a lot of contractors out there. He provided a fair quote for the work that needed to be done. The finishing product looks great and we could not be happier. Living on the third floor and having to go through an HOA, this was not an easy job, but they were able to complete this with no problems and no damage. Definitely recommend. read more
