Worked with Patrick on a remodel job in Antioch. Gave him the price for the repair, he agreed and…read morewe did the work. All was fine until he decided not to pay the invoice. This has been going on for over 5 months. When he did accept a phone call he said he was in a bit of a bind and would make an effort to get the bill paid. Told him that I would work with him in any way to help him out and now he refuses to answer calls or reply to E mail. Stay away from contractors that don't pay their bills!

Patrick and Chris were recommended to us by Rob (owner of High Caliber Electric), as we need some…read morecarpentry work done on a house that we had just purchased. The scope of the project grew as we realized that we needed more things done in the house before we could move in, which included: installing several interior and exterior doors, removing and reinstalling a built-in set of drawers, installing and fixing flooring, removing a built-in wet bar in the basement, doing some work in a bathroom so we could put in a new vanity and bathtub, removing a wall between two rooms so one could be turned into a walk-in closet, making a small alcove into a closet, stripping down a door to be refinished, making shelf supports for our long pantry shelves so they don't bow from the weight, and helping fix a basement leak that was due to the prior owner not properly fastening his deck to the foundation. I am sure there some things I am forgetting, but the bottom line is that Patrick and Chris were always up to doing what we needed done. They were on time, professional, friendly and easy to work with. Patrick was great about providing quotes for all of the work, and had very reasonable prices. In addition, when I needed a contractor for something that he couldn't do, he knew someone in the area he could recommend, and those recommendations (of which there were several for: roofing, plumbing and tile work) worked out great. My wife and I appreciate the great work that Patrick and Chris did, and would highly recommend them for any type of construction project - whether it's big or small.

DreamMaker of Southern Lakes is fantastic. A++. We wanted to remodel a bathroom. The entire…read moreprocess was painless. We worked with Mary on our design. Once that was completed and agreed to, we worked with Andrew, the installer. These two are beyond professional. Andrew would show up each day at the agreed upon time. Not early, not late...exactly on time. He was polite and very neat. This was a bathroom on the second floor and there was no mess anywhere. Floors were covered. Carpet was protected. Work proceeded quickly. After the first day, Mary followed up to make sure there were no issues that we were concerned about. She did the follow-up a few more times over our project just to make sure we were happy. When necessary, other DreamMaker employees would help Andrew with the heavier objects. Riley and Jay were very nice, personable and professional. Their plumbing sub was again very good and he did some upgrades to make sure our plumbing was protected from freezing. No extra charge...they just make sure everything is done right. We are so happy with how the process went that we are working with Mary on remodeling our kitchen. The biggest positive with DreamMaker is they do 90+% of the work with their own employees, so we did not have to deal with a bunch of different subs. No tiling sub. No electrical sub. No painting sub. That makes the whole process very easy and smooth! Jack & Gayle G Burlington

I've always been a big fan of Le Creuset for their quality and excellent warranty, so when I…read morespotted their outlet, I had to stop by and check it out. Walking in feels a bit like being in a candy store, all the beautiful colors, cookware, and displays make it such a treat just to browse. I'm happy to see this location in Kenosha. Even though I didn't buy anything this time, it was still nice to admire the collections and do a little window shopping. I own 5 Le Creset pots and don't think I need another one anytime soon.

The bathrooms included a steam shower and a large shower with floating marble benches that he installed.

He left the job areas clean and worked quickly coming every day including weekends to complete the job. His company is definitely the one to use for any tiling work.

I am NOT RECOMMENDING DrSawdust…read more. Please see below for the email I sent to this business and the attached screenshots... Drsawdust, We had a contract for which you charged me 19k for the work in my basement. The work was not done right and I reported to you via text (March 24) & email (April 4) with evidence from pictures showing the issues, and you promised to return this morning April 8 to repair and complete the work. However, you pretty much came this morning to harass me in my home - when I was showing you the issues with your work in the basement and you (especially Frank) kept saying you did "free work" for me and continued yelling after I asked you to stop saying that since I paid you in full for the agreed contract you provided for the work. Your behavior in my home this morning was very rude and disrespectful, and good thing I have it all on my home video cameras. At this point, I am demanding you return to complete the unfinished painting, drywall, and other work in my basement you were fully paid for - and without Frank this time, because i don't feel safe having Frank coming around my house disrespecting and harassing me. Otherwise, as stated on my previous email I will escalation this issue not limited to but including disputing those charges with my credit card companies for the uncompleted work, and will publish my negative experience on reviews of your business online via various social media platforms. And you have 24 hours to let me know what you want to do, that is which option you prefer, before I take any action(s). Very Respectfully Dr. Ogbomeh
