It was the first time I had ever done a remodeling job of this nature and was happy with the way Todd walked us through the whole process from estimate to final payment. Todd always let me know what time the service providers would be coming and came to introduce each one of them before they began their work. Each individual on the service team acted professionally and gave me no cause for concern, and our project was finished according to the projected cost estimate and the projected time frame of approximately one week. When there were little design concerns or tweaks to be made along the way, Todd was quick to take care of them. Aspects of this company that I found unique among others were that (1) they were able to begin our project much sooner than others, (2) they offered computerized drawings of the project to help us visualize it and know we were on the same page, and (3) they were always quick to respond to our calls and emails. We can highly recommend them!

The job is still not complete, a year into signing the contract. They have failed to establish timelines for anything. The only activity they have been prompt at is sending invoices. They have had countless errors, including making unapproved modifications to a structural wall because they failed to properly measure rough openings for our windows. This resulted in failed inspections and costly delays. They have attempted to cut corners at every turn. Their construction managers are rarely on-site and never send communication unless prompted and ownership has failed to compensate for their errors or improve the quality of their service

Watch Out Sub Contractors! Nea Maya does not pay or…read morenegotiate change orders. As a Plumbing Contractor in the Chicago Land Area, Nea Maya stuck us with over $20,000 in unpaid change orders. This cost was generously adjusted after we took into consideration of his undocumented grievances just so we could get paid, only to still not get paid for requested work performed. Nea Maya has problems with developing a schedule, understanding their own drawings and designs and trade scope of work. When issues and follow ups on change orders were requested for months went unanswered until time of final payment we were presented of back charges and suspect labor that were not backed up by invoices tickets or warnings. Just vague photos. In 20 plus years of being in this business, Nea Maya and Zach Joseph as the worst general contractors to do business with. If zero stars was an option I would choose a zero. 1 star gives them too much credit.

READ!!! IT MAY SAVE YOU A GREAT DEAL…read more If you need peace in your life, avoid Nea Maya business in general. I bought a home worth more than half a million dollars from Nea Maya but it has been the worst experience of my life. They are completely unprofessional. Once you close on the house, they will stop responding to you. They advertise luxury homes but used cheap products. We have been here since September of 2020 and they still have not completed our punch list. They will lie and give excuses about covid but covid is not stopping them from building new units beside our unit. They will tell you some of the items such as countertops that we chose have life time warranty but we noticed a crack in the countertop and notify them and they came back with it is not covered. This is my fault because we did not inspect before moving in. We just trusted Nea Maya blindly and we learned the terrible lesson from trusting this company. We live in phase two but one of the occupants of the phase one hard to get a lawyer involved before they could respond. First winter in the house, the whole house started leaking. I first noticed the leak on the third floor and notified Nea Maya in December but as usual, they did not respond until February when the leaks has gotten to second floor and first floor and the walls and ceiling are already saggy. Even the floors are bumpy. They blame bad weather and I understand but wondered how other houses did not leak even though they are older. Truth came out when a public adjuster came to inspect and showed us the cheap materials that they used to do a terrible job. Please see photos attached. They installed HVAC system wrongly and did not leave room for contractors to correct their terrible and they will argue with you even though instructions are clear from the HVAC manufacturer. After getting an HVAC company to inspect, they were clear when they said the HVAC system that is supposed to last 20 years can barely last for 5 years with the way it was installed. Your HVAC insurance will also not cover the damage because the builder did not follow the installation instructions. Finally, I am putting this out here in an effort to protect another American from going through this but if you think that this is from an angry customer, take some time to go and talk to other occupants of the so called luxury home that they built on Lincoln and Floral ave Skokie, illinois. If you are buying a property that expensive, I think proper investigation will be a wise thing for you to do. Don't make the same mistake that I made. Think about it, there is a reason that they are not a BBB accredited business.

We found All Star through our electrician, and I could not have been happier for the recommendation. They are priced extremely fairly, and they show up on time and are very good on their estimates. I have found them to be very responsive and instead of just doing something to get it done because I asked, they will tell me when I am asking for something that doesn't make sense, even though this may mean less business for them. They also will suggest a couple of ways to complete tasks, giving you options on how they can do something, elaborating on the pros and cons of each method. Chris and team have become a trusted adviser for us, and so when we had a leak due to hail damage on the roof, he took a look and advised me to reach out to my insurance agency as they may cover it. Thanks to this recommendation, I got a new roof courtesy my insurance company. Chris did not install the roof, but recommended the contractor who did, and all I can say is that not only did they come in much cheaper than other quotes we received, they did an excellent job, so we saved money and got the roof we can count on for 20+ years. I could go on and on about how much I trust and rely on this company, and I would tell anyone and everyone looking for a handyman who will tell you the truth and not try to do superfluous work just for the cash that this is the company for you. You will not regret using them, and once you do I have full confidence that you will not be calling anyone else.
