This person who is the first and now final impression that represents your company has hung up on me several times (five times) is adamant that I give her my name which is no consequence beneficial to her. Rather, and rest assured, I am not being difficult just trying to connect to whom I may concur as to the type of installations I desire and need to have! I don't feel that this person who refuses to identify herself and give ME the information I request for whom I need to speak with but would rather be indignant to pursue her stubborn pursuit of my name and no other info. Meaning, as she stated, no name, hung up!!!!!! Just thought you should be aware of the consequences of the image this woman portrays of your company. Wonder what would happen for services paid for if something went wrong! Have to think twice when there is no one to contact except this loser who keeps on hanging up! IT'S HER WAY OR NO WAY! ===========================================================

My wife and I were very disappointed with our experience with CHR. While the subcontractors they…read morehired did a good job, the way Chris and Maria treated us was unprofessional and disrespectful. The project started out well, but as the renovation progressed, the relationship deteriorated and became increasingly hostile. We initially chose CHR based on Chris's expertise, but he often left the subcontractors to work unsupervised and would only return at the end of the day. On multiple occasions, I had to identify errors myself and ensure they were corrected. If I hadn't caught these mistakes, I doubt CHR would have noticed or addressed them. We always made our payments on time and genuinely tried to make the arrangement work. In the beginning, we were optimistic about working with Chris and Maria, as they seemed like a solid Christian couple. However, as the project went on, their behavior did not reflect the integrity or professionalism we expected. Before hiring CHR, we interviewed some of their past clients, but in hindsight, it appears they only directed us to those who were satisfied. The fact that they have been in business for over 16 years yet have very few publicly available reviews should have been a red flag. Also note that CHR is not BBB accredited. At this point, I don't wish CHR ill will, as it has been over a year since the renovation was completed. I do, however, hope Chris and Maria take the time to read reviews like this carefully and use such feedback to improve their business practices.

I rarely write negative reviews, but I was disappointed with my visit to the Kitchen Studio. I was…read morelooking to install new countertops in my kitchen and bathroom. The Kitchen Studio popped up in my google search as being a local dealer of the specific higher end material I wanted. Upon arrival, an employee told me "they don't do just countertops". Okay. That isn't clear on their website. Then she went on to tell me she can't think of anywhere in the area to refer me that "just does counters". First, of all, there are at least 10 countertop fabricators within a 10 mile radius of Glen Ellyn. Someone in the industry should know this. Second, I'm sure the Kitchen Studio has an in house fabricator or they subcontract it out to someone local (most likely) and thus, why on earth would you not give this person my business??? I have a fairly large kitchen and master vanity. My quotes from the other local fabricators, who do, in fact, exist, are coming in at $120/sq foot and up. I'm giving 2 stars instead of one because all their kitchens on houzz are truly lovely and I'm sure if you hire them they would design a beautiful kitchen.

We signed a retainer to remodel kitchen and small bath and powder room with the kitchen studio of…read moreGlen Ellen that clearly specified their design and project overseeing fees as % of material ( I had to buy everything from them except appliances) and their labor cost. However when cost estimates were developed for contract signing for the project implementation phase, her personal fees were 3 times of what they should have been per our retainer agreement. When I pointed out the retainer terms, instead of correcting, they sent me a new retainer document and told me their process has changed. The change is permanent and sometimes there is a little fallout like this. These were Susan's words in her email to me. I took them to court ( case#2019SR000483 in Dupage county) to get my money back which I did. Susan herself is talented and personable but her business partner and company co-owner's dealings are disappointing and ignorant of basic business ethics. Susan kept saying he handles all money and pricing aspects. I had to walk away! Update 1/10/2020: I stand by my comments and the fact that you completely disavowed the terms of retainer and when I pointed out the pricing terms that we agreed to In the retainer, you emailed me a new retainer document with all pricing terms removed from it. I would have never signed anything or paid you $7k based on that new retainer devoid of any specifics. This was an act of complete lack of integrity. If you are serious about building reputation, practicing integrity will help. Good luck

I chose Capital Renovation and Construction based on the BBB rating initially. I needed repair to…read morea guest bedroom due to a water leak so it was an insurance repair. I called 3 contractors. One never called back, but Carlos from Capital was very prompt in his reply to my inquiry and we scheduled an estimate. In the meantime, the second contractor came out and gave us an estimate but it didn't include replacing the carpeting, painting or any work other than repairing/replacing the wall board. Capital is a full service contractor--floor to ceiling, carpet, fixtures, painting, you name it. And Carlos found repairs which needed to be done from the water damage the other contractor didn't. The room turned out fantastic--better than before--and I added some repair to the adjacent room--basically a mud room we call the dog room--which now looks fantastic. Communication on scheduling work, how long it would take was great. Carlos came out and checked the work and sent the crew back for a few touch ups. For all the work they did and the quality of the work I feel we were charged fairly. I highly recommend Capital Renovation and Construction.

Our real estate team has worked with Julie to stage multiple properties and she's as good as it…read moregets (not to mention just a general pleasure to work with and be around!) Not only does she have a keen eye for this stuff, but she's incredibly flexible in the type support she provides. If clients have the budget and need for full-on staging, she can do that (and she does it WELL!). But for those who just need a little help refreshing their properties with a more modest budget, she also provides really valuable home styling services, using the stuff they already own. And whatever service she provides, the results are beautiful/fresh/on-trend/welcoming/and all those other good things. Our clients are happy, which makes us happy, and it's why we continue going back to Julie again and again and again!

So, I assumed no interior designer would be interested in me (and my budget). Then I found Julie! Julie came to our home and helped us figure out a very functional and sophisticated use of our space - one that is kid and pet friendly. She charges hourly for her services, so she can work with any budget - and found some really incredible new pieces for my home from Ikea, Target, Wayfair and Macy's. She also incorporated as many of our old pieces as she could into the design to help us save money. Julie does anything from basic design (sending you a floor plan design with a link to the items she suggests you purchase) to full service (accepting deliveries at your home, installing, constructing, styling, etc). She also does home renovations. With Julie's design, our home feels brand new and we have gotten countless compliments on how beautiful it looks. I am happy we were able to stay in budget and felt very comfortable buying the nice, but not over-top-expensive, pieces that she selected. Her styling was excellent and gave it all a really polished look. I just wish I would have hired Julie sooner!

I strongly urge you to avoid working with Chip! We hired Chip to replace our kitchen countertop…read more When he came to give the estimate, he also offered to install a backsplash to help complete our project. We were excited to move forward with working with him. Fast forward to a month later, he came to install our countertop and we were happy with his work. There was a miscommunication and we overpaid him by almost $1500. He said he would bring our refund the following week when he came back to install our backsplash. For 3 1/2 weeks he kept giving us excuses as to why he couldn't return to finish the job and also why he couldn't Zelle us our money back. He finally came to install the backsplash and it was very obvious he had no clue what he was doing. He left our kitchen with crooked backsplash tiles covered in clumps of grout! We tried for weeks to get a refund from him, both for the overpayment as well as the fraudulent backsplash job. He claimed for a month that his bank account was hacked and the bank had his accounts locked. It has now been 2 months and we've been complete ghosted by him. Do yourself a favor and hire somebody who knows what they are doing and who won't steal money from you.

Now we are out the $500 and had to start over with another company. West Chicago Counter tops, who have been amazing. His BBB Rating is an F, and the reviews all say the same thing as my review. I wish we would have done more research. Now time to file a police report, because this guy is a scam artist!!

This is a long overdue review of a major kitchen remodeling project Rite-Way did at our home in…read moreOctober 2022- March 2023. We found Rite-Way to be outstanding and could not be more pleased with their quality of work. With the work having been completed over two years ago, we have lived in our new space and are very impressed with the ongoing quality of their work and the craftsmanship of their cabinets. Marv and Walt worked with us and addressed all of our questions and concerns. Remodeling is never problem-free and unanticipated issues always arise. Marv and Walt were very open and understanding as issues arose. Our village building inspectors were also aware of Rite-Way and once they discovered Rite-Way was our general contractor, the inspections went very smoothly. We had only one issue arise during our warrantee period and Walt followed through on a timely and professional basis and resolved it quickly and professionally with the subcontractor. I highly recommend Rite-Way and the team we had, Connor and Miguel.
