AFTER board and batten was installed
Patrice H.

We hired John AGAIN because his work is absolutely impeccable and his communication and commitment to his clients is unmatched. He works fast and carefully, making sure every detail is perfect. His prices are fair and competitive, and he is great at making what i consider a difficult project seem easy. So it's a completely stress free experience for clients. I will be hiring him for even more projects in the near future for building out closet spaces and my main bathroom. I would trust him with any project you're thinking of doing in your home or exterior. Wonderful experience all around! Can't say enough good things about John and his company.

John removed the old gate and fence, and set the new one further back so I now I have a place to set my city garage bins

I needed the front and back gates to my super old chain link fence replaced, and well as the top rails straightened. I messaged for an estimate and John responded immediately. We arranged for him to come by that evening. A few days later I had a detailed written estimate and we scheduled the work to start. He's a great communicator. I'm more than happy with how it all turned out. John's work is meticulous. I'll definitely be calling him again for more projects.

I hired John to build a brand new deck on top of a patio that was a half hazard job maybe 5yrs ago. He did the job in less than 2 weeks timeline, an excellent job, that exceeded our expectations and a neighbor in awe. Very solid construction, even corrected mistakes from previous contractor that renovated the house. Value was competitive of what's around, but no monetary value can replace his quality of work. Our gates front and back was also replaced look so great. John and his team, delivered what I want. Steve did great job installing lights. Thanks so much, my family and the dog is loving it!!

After

Our house has a lot of "DIY" work that we inherited as buyers, and our deck was one of these less-than-ideal parts of our home. It was quickly decaying and urgently needed addressing. We contacted multiple vendors to receive quotes on updating the deck, and John at JEP Construction was not only the best quote, but also provided a lot of clarity as to our options in terms of design, details, and materials of the new deck. When it came to the actual work, John and his team were efficient and professional. They were done within a week from start to finish, and the final product looks FAR and away better than what we started with. John also went out of his way to point out some other prior-owner DIY fixes that needed attention and how we could address them. As first-time homeowners, his expertise and generous knowledge-sharing was very appreciated. We are delighted with the result and would definitely recommend JEP and would happily work with John again in the future!

The finished deck floor!

Excellent Experience - Highly Recommend! As someone who knew…read moreabsolutely nothing about fencing before starting this project, I couldn't be happier with my decision to go with Americana Ironworks. Here's why they earned my enthusiastic recommendation: Fair and Competitive Pricing: I got quotes from several companies, and Americana's estimate was very reasonable - not the cheapest, but definitely fair for the quality they delivered. No hidden fees or surprise Top-Notch Installation Team: This is where they really shined. The crew that came out was professional, courteous, and detail-oriented. They actually LISTENED when I explained what I wanted, double-checked measurements, and even made helpful suggestions I hadn't considered. When I had a small concern about the gate alignment, they adjusted it on the spot without any fuss. If you're like me and feeling overwhelmed by fence options, contractors, and pricing, do yourself a favor and give Americana Iron works a call. They made the entire process painless and delivered exactly what they promised. Bottom line: Great value, excellent communication, and quality workmanship. What more could you ask for?

We gave them a drawing of what we had in mind and they completely nailed it. Mike, Jessica and their team gave us a beautiful fence in a very short time. They painted it and cleaned up everything.

I had a tight schedule while I was in town to get a 50+ year old deteriorating wood fence and gate…read moreremoved and replaced. After getting several quotes and recommendations, I went with Michael Kelly, owner of Mr. Fence, to remove the 60 ft long wood fence used to separate 2 adjacent properties and replace it with a more economical chain link fence. I chose Michael because he was responsive and willing to readjust his work schedule to meet my short time frame. His pricing was also very fair and competitive for the scope of work. After the site visit and getting his formal quote, Michael and his crew was able to start work within 2 days on a Saturday. David did a great job in removing the wood fence, installing the new support posts in concrete, and cleaning up afterwards on the first day. Michael came 2-3 days later after the concrete had time to fully cure to install the chain link to the support posts and install a new gate. Throughout the process, Michael was open and accommodating to my thoughts and ideas to ensure the finished product met my expectations. He also helped me with some related minor "handyman" type repairs that was well beyond his scope of work which were much appreciated. Michael made sure the work was done right and to my satisfaction. I highly recommend Mr. Fence for your big or small fencing needs. Mr. Fence has become my preferred fence company and I have no hesitation in simply calling them and using them again.

This was one of the strangest and most disappointing interactions I've had with a contractor in…read moreChicago. I reached out to Welds on Wheels because I needed gate boxes and locks installed. I explained the job, sent photos, and spoke with Kandy. I was told Jerry would review everything and get back to me. What came back was not an estimate. It was a message saying that they "prefer not to work in certain areas in Chicago due to high crime" and that they had previously been assaulted in "bad neighborhoods." Excuse me? I've owned my home for more than 20 years. I work out of state, regularly have contractors perform work at the property, and have never had a contractor respond to me this way. There was no incident at my house, no specific safety issue raised about my property, and apparently no effort to learn anything about the location beyond whatever assumptions they had already made about the neighborhood. My house is also not in ill-repair. I did speak with Kandy on the phone, also. Of course a contractor can decline a job. What bothered me was the manner in which this company did it and the sweeping characterization of me and my neighborhood that accompanied the refusal. After speaking with Kandy and then receiving that message, I was left seriously questioning what assumptions were being made about the neighborhood and the people who live there, including whether race and neighborhood demographics factored into the decision. That is not how I expect a professional business to communicate with a prospective customer. I also did something I should have done beforehand: I went back and read more of their reviews elsewhere. The complaints I found about missed appointments, changing prices, reliability, and service certainly did not make me feel as though I had missed out on anything. Thankfully, I found someone else to do the work. Chicago is a city of neighborhoods. If your business serves Chicago, professionalism should extend to customers throughout Chicago--not just the neighborhoods you have decided are acceptable. I would not recommend Welds on Wheels based on my experience. One star because Yelp does not allow zero.
