Like many such bathroom-plumbing works, this is a complicated installation that can easily go wrong a hundred ways. The RR people planned it and did it at one go. Done right! Our compliments on the excellent work by the technician who visited us to install the shower door (apologies - I did not write down his name). He did an overall fantastic job, start to finish, earning a 100/100. He is competent, professional, and courteous. He answered all our questions patiently and stayed focused on the job without rushing it. Notably, the final cleanup was so thorough! Earlier, the person who visited us for the estimation and measurement was equally good- very knowledgeable! The office personnel who handle the scheduling are very responsive and understanding of our (customers') changing needs and priorities. At first, we were concerned about the high-end quote, but every cent of the price was worth it. Good job, Refreshing Renovations, and the management and support team. Feel free to quote me! - Sadagopan

Chris, I am not going argue more. I don't plan on hiring you and that was almost 4 years ago when…read morewe posted our review. You were not on site when Bryan was painting so you have no way to know if he added water or not. My contractor that fixed Bryan's horrible job, told me the paint you used was cut with water. We never asked for a "discount" from you, you offered a 10% returning customer discount. I don't recommend you to anyone. Anyone reading, please refer to the pictures. I regret not taking pictures of our lawn after Bryan cleanup his paint buckets on it. How unprofessional

Robert has been stringing us along on our window replacement project for over a year. We gave him…read morethe agreed upon deposit in December of 2022. When a start date that was agreed upon arrives, Robert comes up with excuse after excuse to postpone the project. After giving him ample opportunity to make this right, we decided to ask him to return our deposit so we could have another company complete the project. As of 2-18-24, we have not received anything from him. I will update this review if we ever get our deposit returned. Save yourself the headache and go with another contractor.

We had Robert & crew from Iron Rock D&B redo our kitchen recently. We went with stock cabinets that…read morewere painted a royal blue, white quartz counter-top with slight gold marbling, off-white back-splash, oak plank flooring and stainless steel appliances and the results are beautiful. There were challenges along the way, as with every project, but probably more so on ours because the house was 80 years old. The old kitchen was 50 years old so was totally gutted. Cabinet options were somewhat limited in our price range and we should have asked more questions regarding layout and functionality, which contributed to the slightly lower rating due to some of their limitations. Start to finish was almost 5 weeks. Workmanship was above average. They kept me informed of when they would be on-site and what they would be working on, so I would say communication was excellent in that regard. Bottom line, I would recommend Iron Rock D&B for your kitchen remodel. D&J Smith

I have never left an online review for anything in my life. However, Greg's outstanding service and…read morethe quality of his work compelled me to write this out of gratitude. I hired Greg to build a deck in my backyard after another contractor left the job half-finished and several other contractors refused to take it on. It was not only half-done, but done with the wrong materials, and the biggest headache was that the previous contractor had not dug the holes for the concrete posts deep enough and the city inspector ordered us to disassemble the entire frame, dig deeper holes, and repour the concrete. It was a nightmare of a job, but Greg agreed to take it on at a very reasonable price. He faced major setbacks that could not be predicted (for example, digging deeper holes was much harder than expected because of tree roots and rocks, there were supply issues with materials, etc.). However, Greg took these on without complaining and without charging much more than his estimate. I'm no expert when it comes to construction, and he offered plenty of advice and suggestions when making certain decisions. You can tell he truly cares not only about the quality of his work but also the people he is working with. He is always on time, polite, and takes on challenges without hesitation. I'm absolutely delighted with the quality of the new deck. I'm so glad that I found Greg during what was a very stressful time for me and my family due to the previous contractor, and I would use him again in a heartbeat as well as recommend him to anyone I know.

They managed my master bath remodeling job, plus a number of projects around my condo building. Greg and his team are very hard working, extremely knowledgeable, professional and have proven skillful at improvising solutions to address the many challenges we uncover when working on our 100-year old building. On top of that, they are always very reasonably and competitively priced and hold firm to estimates - and complete work as promised. We continue to use this firm for for my condo building work and I highly recommend Greg and BMGN for any home/building remodeling or construction needs.

Summary: Absolutely horrible experience - BEWARE - I urge you to find someone else to do your…read moreproject so you don't end up like us - booked our project, wasted weeks/months of our time getting set up, did DEMO on our living room and then, after destroying our living room, informed us that they do not have the skill to complete the project and refuses to return our deposit and refuses to respond to requests to speak for weeks. We now have a torn up living room and will have one for months while we wait for another company to come in and finish the job - will be seeking all legal remedies. __________________________________ As new home owners, we were excited to complete a few projects. We found Arpan and Louie online. We were looking to have a closet system removed in the living room and to install built-ins. Arpan assured us multiple times that the business was looking to expand into the built-in industry and that they do much larger projects so this would be easy for them. They sold their services as a package deal - from design to execution they would have us covered. We spent a few weeks/months working with their designer (who I will not name because I think she is also an unwitting victim of the Arpan/Louie operation). Once the designs were complete, we went ahead and scheduled a final measurement appointment. Louie (the carpenter) did not attend but Arpan decided to keep the appointment. Within about 10 minutes of being inside Louie noticed that the designs prepared did not actually match the measurements of the closet in at least one place - the closet had an uneven depth that Arpan and the designer failed to measure at our final meeting that they decided to have without Louie (the carpenter). Louie did come up with a solution that we were comfortable with but would result in part of a window being covered - our thoughts were it happens and we would be lucky if this was the only hiccup. Louie then did demo work for 2-3 days. On the LAST day, he disappears for a while and when he comes back mentions that he is trying to figure out from Arpan where the doors for our built-ins are. Later that day he says that Arpan didn't order any doors and they do not have the capability to build doors. We call Arpan and he says they are looking into solutions. A day or two later - Arpan TEXTS to say "Our solutions would take weeks as we wont be able to create the doors...we would return half of your deposit". The deposit was $1500 - you read that right, Arpan wanted $750 for doing partial demo and then abandoning the project because of the negligence of his team. We asked Arpan to discuss on Aug 12 - no response. On Aug 16 - we followed up and he agreed to speak. Arpan told us that he needed to confirm returning the full deposit with Louie. The following week Louie came to collect his tools - which, as decent people, we allowed him to enter our home to take. Louie told us that Arpan was the decision maker on the deposit and its return. We sent messages to Arpan on the 23rd, 24th, 26th, and 29th of August to Arpan without any response. I really try to not write negative reviews because I understand mistakes happen and look to companies to make it right - but I couldn't let this sit. I am now out $1,500 and have to hire someone to come finish the demo work and then someone else to put in built ins - in this environment it will take months. I would be willing to work with Arpan and team if they had realized their errors before doing demo on our house (and tearing out thousands of dollars worth of closet systems etc. - which would have been OK if something was going in to replace it!) but this is inexcusable and the lack of professionalism from Arpan and team is really daunting. Please go with someone who knows what they are doing.

In a desperate panic, I called at least 20 contractors in Chicago via Thumbtack and other websites. Gustavo was the first to actually pick up! HOW LUCKY AM I THAT HE DID!?! Not only did he SWOOP in and quote us exactly what the other contractor quoted, without prior knowledge, and could start immediately. He said he could handle up to 50 houses a year, had guys for everything, and HE WAS BEING HONEST! I am a full-time Realtor, landlord, real estate investor, etc. When I say I am also PICKY, I am PICKY. Gustavo has truly exceeded all my expectations. I will say, he is best on the phone/text versus email, but he is a true hero in my eyes. The job was done. The tenants were back in. HE COMMUNICATED. He cared. He updated me. He was ON IT. He pushed, he accepted everything I threw at him, and everything is working out well a few weeks later. I'm giving him everything I have from here on out. THANK YOU, GUSTAVO. You, your son, your team, and your professionalism really really saved our investment. Hire this guy! The best!
