I have nothing but great things to say about Things 2 Fix. After a massive renovation project, we…read morewere left with two bathtubs that were leaking into the units below us. We had three different contractors come out to repair the leaks. All of them left us with outrageous bills, threats of litigation, and bathtubs that still leaked. After receiving payment, none of them would honor their "warranties" and come back to fix their deficient work. When I initially found Jon on Yelp, I was skeptical. I decided to give him a chance because I had no other options. They were extremely responsive and were able to come out in a few days. They fixed both leaks and honored their warranties for minor things I noticed after they left. Their prices are very reasonable. Furthermore, they are actually licensed, which is rare for most services that you find on Yelp. Most contractors will present a license, but have unlicensed workers do the actual work to cut costs. They are also extremely trustworthy and I would have them work in my home with no one present. If you have any issues, I highly recommend you contact them. They will not disappoint. As to the negative reviews left by Ryenne and Amy, all I can say is that Things 2 Fix was one of the most responsive contractors I have come across. They will be my first call if I ever need assistance again.

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!

First off Dave was very communicative up front on coordinating the timing, and him and his partner Gene were punctual when they arrived to do the install. I felt the price we agreed was very fair and the end result looks fantastic. All curtain rods installed very evenly (they used a leveler) and look very aesthetically pleasing. They were also patient with us as we tried to figure out the best height to mount off of the floor, and they used their own screws where the manufacturer provided ones were lacking. Highly recommend and I will definitely consider Dave & Gene for future projects around the house where my own handyman skills are lacking!

I could not have chosen a worse painter than Lanningham. I hired Jason and his "crew" (which turned…read moreout to be him and his wife) to paint a 40 X 80 machine shed for me. I was given a price quote which I agreed to, and I was given a time frame of 7 days depending on weather. We've had great weather and 5 weeks into the job it's still not done. Their workday consists of showing up around 9:30-10:00, taking lunch at noon, and then pulling out around 2:00-2:30. This is with several smoke breaks in between. I paid him half down over a month before the job started, but now he wants more money to continue working claiming that he's using more material than anticipated. The quote was for two topcoats, but he's only done one topcoat on the four sides of the building and has only done one topcoat on half of the roof. I refused to give him any more money until the job is complete, which was the terms in his contract. Now he's accusing me of "f***ing" him and pulled off my job. He's lied to me, made false promises, and has done mediocre work at best. I've been in the real estate business for 28 years and I've never had such an awful contractor work for me. Do yourself a favor and take the time to research this guy before hiring. I was fooled by a professional looking website and old positive reviews. This company is anything but professional.
