Larry from Pappas Contracting came to my house to provide me an estimate on replacing a deck. I…read moreoriginally wanted composite but Larry convinced me that he preferred a Cedar treated wood that he assured me was better quality than the composite. He indicated to me that he has installed a lot of decks and convinced me that he would be a great company to hire. He also was able to start immediately. The day he started he showed up late and took a long lunch. The next day, he showed up and 1/2 later indicated he was going to breakfast. He came back 1 hour later and worked for an hour, then indicated he was going to lunch. He worked a total of an hour and by 1 pm, I texted him to ask if he was coming back? He finally showed back up at 2pm. Then left by 4. He completed the boards and asked me what I thought. He was going to leave a 6 in gap from the end of the deck to my fence. I told him that was not acceptable because someone could fall through that gap and get hurt. So I asked him to put in a railing. He then added he had to charge me extra for that and I said fine because I could not leave that gap open. The railing is 13 feet long. He put two 4x4 posts on the ends, but nothing in the middle to support the 13 feet. I didn't know what was compliment because I'm not a person who builds decks. We had a friend come over and let us know that was not compliant, so I called Larry to ask him to come and add the post to make the deck compliant. He proceeded to tell me that he didn't want to sound mean, but the whole deck was not compliant? I paid him to put in a deck and he was the professional so I wondered why he said that? I had additional wood and a full post left over that he did not use that I paid for in my yard, so I asked him to come back and install the post that should have been put in in the first place. He told me I had to wait two weeks until he was available. I said ok. On that day he was supposed to come, I texted and asked what time he would be coming. He gave me a bunch of run around and never showed up. This company is not reliable. They lie and do shady work that is not compliment and will not pass an inspection. I would not recommend this company to anyone. He also spoke to me as if he was doing me a favor. He kept coming up with reasons why I owed more money and even said I owed $100 extra for coming to put in the post he should have put in when he was here. I also asked him to replace two of the boards that have a glue like substance on top that is very sticky and cannot be removed, he told me to go tell Menards to replace them and see what they say? He hand picked the wood himself and I have no receipt from the store. Plus the boards are already installed?? The pictures show the railing with no support in the middle and the large gap he was going to leave open if I didn't pay extra for the railing that I had to tell him to put in so no one would get hurt falling in that hole. I found Larry to be rude and arrogant and very unprofessional. Hire him at your own risk.

Brian, the person who answered the phone, was polite and helpful. He actually acted like he valued my business. Imagine that! He sent Nathan out, (Very polite and thorough as well) who walked around on my roof, took pictures, and let me know that it was just a nail that had backed out of the siding. Then he fixed it with zero charge. Here we were expecting a HUGE bill, because really, we wouldn't have known the difference. I was so impressed by the honesty and customer service of Nathan and his company that I asked if they do anything else. FYI siding, gutters, windows, doors. I know this sounds like I work there, but I am just so sick of ignorant, unhelpful, and dishonest service people, that I feel companies like this deserve a great review. So, if want quick, honest service, I highly recommend TNT Roofing. Thank you, Nathan and Brian! I'll definitely call if I need something else.

Our DJK Dream home was completed in October of 2024. Since then, we have enjoyed moving in,…read moredecorating and living a more relaxed life because of the amenities it provides. The process took over a year and the most stressful part of the process was cramming our Frenchie, my husband and I into an apartment during the construction. I think the best compliment I can give the team at DJK is that I was sad when the home was complete because we thoroughly enjoyed working with their team, their processes and watching the progress. In fact, if we could, we would start building another home with them right now! With the above said, we want to share a little of our story. I have lived in the Chicagoland area since August of 2012. One of my first memories upon house shopping around the West Highlands and Downtown Naperville were the giant signs on various construction fencing with large green letters - DJK. I instantly investigated with some desktop research and was tremendously impressed with their transparent and thorough information on their website, djkcustomhomes.com. Let's just say that that initial curiosity led to my early decision that when the time comes, I wanted to build a DJK home. In 2016 I purchased what I could afford in the West Highlands, a split level built in 1959 that had been flipped in the hastiest way possible. No problem, my goal was to live there until the roof gave out and then maybe I would be blessed with the means to knock it down and build the dream home I imagined. No way - that was probably just a pipe dream, right? Seven years later I found myself to be newlywedded and my husband and I were looking for a larger abode to combine our two households. We did our due diligence to be responsible and look for a house we didn't need to knock down, but nothing seemed to fit. Elated and nervous, my husband and I walked into the DJK model home in Downtown Naperville not really knowing what to expect. I am sure you can imagine feeling out of your league. Would the salesperson even talk to us, and would we be able to get anything close to our budget? Do not be intimidated when you walk into their model home showrooms. Meeting Shannon at the model home was like running into a long-lost part of the family. We were welcomed and felt like this dream was going to be possible. Our meetings with the other team members felt just the same. Why? They listened, were compassionate and didn't make us feel like our budget was ridiculously small or that the dream house we wanted to build was unattainable. When sitting down with Cassy, she had solutions, ideas, and the expertise to work with the vendors and trades to deliver what we envisioned. She and the rest of the team wanted to be as proud of our brand-new house as we were. COMMUNICATION is what needs to be emphasized with DJK custom homes, because they have mastered it. If there was something of concern that we noticed, our project manager, Mark, was on the case before we could even bring it up. We found DJK's website portal to be perfect for communications and we were never kept out of the loop. Please choose DJK custom homes for your building partner. We want them to be around to build our next home and many other family homes in the future. They are worth the money. You will come out a long and exciting process, relaxed and ready to enjoy your dream home.

We recently built our home with DJK, and overall, it was a very positive experience. The quality of…read morethe work is strong, and the team was professional and committed throughout the process. That said, I did feel that some of the pricing on upgrades ran a bit higher than expected, and like with any large build, certain trades contacts were stronger than others. The standout of the entire experience was our project manager, Andy. He was truly fantastic--responsive, proactive, and always willing to go the extra mile to make sure things were done right. Andy made what could have been a stressful process feel much smoother, and he was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. If you are considering building with DJK, I'd recommend them--especially knowing you'll be in great hands if you're lucky enough to have Andy as your project manager.
