I do NOT recommend Ron and his company R-Deco…read more OVERPRICED Ron provides quotes that are extremely overpriced, at about 2x the price of any other company. A recent example was for a siding replacement project where he quoted almost 2x the nearest 3 companies who were all licensed, insured, and bonded (more on that later) and over 2x the lowest priced company who was not. And this was on a project in an HOA that he'd been working on for over a decade, so his bid should have come in the lowest of all because he'd already done the work for numerous other homes/units. UNCOMMUNICATED SCOPE CHANGES For the two projects I received a quote from Ron, both had their scope so drastically modified from what was requested by me that the projects and their prices were incomparable to what was actually needed. On the first project I asked for one door and 1/4 of a window to be recaulked, and he came back with an extremely expensive quote that was actually for caulking basically the entire exterior of my home/unit. On the second project I asked for all the siding to my rooftop penthouse to be replaced and he came back with a quote for just 4 of 12 panels to be replaced, without ever mentioning the scope change, perhaps so he could have me blindly sign the contract thinking I was getting what I wanted at a reasonable price when I would really only get 1/3 of what I asked for. EXCESSIVE DEPOSIT Ron charges a 60% deposit at contract signing and 50% of the remainder a week before the project begins, essentially requiring he is paid 80% of the already 2x overpriced job 1 week before any work even begins. This leaves absolutely no negotiating power to the buyer as Ron has already made all his profit and can just walk away or do a terrible job as he pleases. This kind of deposit is also completely out of line with industry standard, where companies require deposits of 50% or less, not 80%. RELUCTANT TO PROVIDE CREDENTIALS Ron won't provide you with either his license (which he doesn't seem to actually have, later on that), his insurance, or his bond information upfront like any other legitimate contractor. He requires that you sign his contract before he will provide you any of this. That's like someone claiming they're an airplane pilot but requiring you to commit to flying with them and only offering to show you their "credentials" when you're already on the plane and the doors are locked. This is unacceptable and unprofessional. LICENSING NOT FOUND Perhaps the reason Ron doesn't provide his credentials like licensing is that he in fact is NOT licensed, at least certainly not as a roofing contractor per the IDFPR website, though he advertises these services. He also cannot be found in the Chicago contractor database, even though he wanted to perform such General Contractor and/or Electrical license requiring tasks like swapping out an electrical exterior GFCI outlet during my siding project. Apparently he has been working in my HOA for over a decade, with the only reason that I've found so far being that he's the only one that's offered as an option for work by the HOA and Owner's just go with him to avoid the hassle of finding someone else. Of the 5 Owners that I've talked to though, all have negative experiences with him, including for overpricing and bad/not complete work. I will be recommending my HOA never work with Ron and his company R-Deco again and I would recommend you avoid him and his company as well.

I can't say enough great things about Ron and his team at R-Deco Painting & Home Improvements. I…read morehave now worked with Ron and his team on remodeling 2 houses. They continue to deliver great results in unprecedented timing. I was on an incredibly tight schedule and Ron made all adjustments needed to make sure we hit the timeline and didn't sacrifice quality of work. I couldn't be happier with the result. They took down a wall and opened up my kitchen, installed all new cabinets and lighting, installed new flooring, put in a new staircase, re-did my laundry room, updated a bathroom, and many other smaller items throughout the house including putting in new toilets, re-staining hardwood floors, putting on new closet doors, etc. I would absolutely use R-Deco Painting & Home Improvements again!

He has showed up…read more1.5 hrs late every day, barely gets anything done and then leaves without a word, not even telling his new hire that he left at the residence. He sprayed some product on my walls (busy work) and then left the remnants all over the floors. He told me he always cleans up after himself. He claims "he takes care of his customers" but if tardiness, unproductive and unprofessionalism is how he gauges his customer service, then he is not your guy. He refuses to give me my $1250 deposit back and just get paid for the supplies and the minimal amount of work he did, so he basically stole money from me. Do you do diligence and really research the people you hire.

I first wanted to say this company has no address in Westchester, no brick and mortar…read morebuilding/office. They don't give written estimates, and I never got a receipt when the work was completed. I asked for a receipt and he said he was out of invoices. The estimate changed after the work was done, the initial estimate for the living room, kitchen, and 1 bedroom was $1400 labor only, I paid for paint.. Then when they were finished, the price went up to $1950. I didn't know what to say. And the man spoke broken English and I felt we were getting nowhere and then, I didn't want an altercation so I wrote out a check for the full amount. I put a stop payment on the check until we can get things worked out. And he's not willing to work things out. Even though there is no written estimate to the effect that I agreed to almost $2000 for a tiny 1 bedroom apartment, I would've never agreed to such a price, not including paint. I have been in business myself for almost 24 years and carry an invoice booklet with me, So as to write everything that I'm going to do. And then I get a signature for agreeing to my price. That is the way business is always done. Especially when you get your car fixed just for example. Now he expects the police to come after me with no written estimate, No receipt and no signature. I would NEVER HAVE AGREED to such an outlandish price!!!!. I called the Westchester police and they have no idea that he is running a business in their town. ON a lighter note, They did excellent work, and I am very happy with the results. Unfortunately, I feel like I'm being fleeced.. It wasn't worth $2000 plus $435 in paint. Would I recommend them? Yes but get a written estimate!!!!!!!

Their price was also very reasonable compared to the other places we shopped, and if they can't do the job themselves, they'll help you find a great subcontractor. I look forward to chipping away at our laundry list of projects with them!

Handy Fellas was hired on May 11, 2019 for a $23,800 project quoted for completion in 3-4 weeks…read more After many delays Jacob agreed to finally "wrap" the project on September 23, 2019. He has been paid 90% of the project amount to date and left behind inferior workmanship, debris from demolition, and zero communication of how he plans to resolve this despite multiple attempts to contact him. We were willing to come to a resolution with Jacob so long as he provided satisfactory work, but due to his unresponsiveness, we have since hired a replacement and are looking at another $9,100 to FIX + COMPLETE the work that he was initially hired for. Our experience with Jacob & Handy Fellas was incredibly disappointing. In the end, the project is costing us far more money and time than expected because of our decision to hire this contractor. -------------------------------- In response to business' comments: Feel free to choose any of the texts or emails sent to you dating back to September 24, 2019. Looking forward to hear how you plan to resolve this.

Jacob was able to do the entire job in one day (running a conduit from the floor to behind tv, setting up new electrical outlet behind tv, mounting tv, etc.) Working with Jacob was awesome.

He was straight forward, and looked for the best way to do a quality job efficiently. We are so glad we reached out to him. We look forward to continuing to work with Jacob and Handy Fellas on future jobs.
