    New vanity mirror and lighting
    Alek O.

    I hired Michael for a bathroom renovation. My master bath had awful stone tiles and fixtures that were installed probably when the building was built in 2006. He was quick with responding and great with taking my direction of how I wanted this to look. Attached are my before and after pictures. Needless to say, I'm very happy with Michael's work.

    This is our 2nd project with Michael. Just like the first bathroom remodel, the work was quickly done and looks beautiful! This time Michael and his team replaced drywall and repaired water damage from an extensive leak on our 2nd and 3rd floor bay windows. They look as good as new! We also had Michael install additional outlets, a new dining room pendant light and a ceiling fan in our bedroom. All the work was beautiful and up to code. Additionally Michael speeded up the work to accommodate our need to visit a family member. Great service, great work, and competitive pricing! I am excited to work on our list of future project with Michael Remodeling!

    Walk in shower with niche

    Michael did a fantastic job on my bathroom remodel in my condo! It was a full gut tearing out the flooring and existing tub and replacing it with a walk in shower with all new flooring and vanities ect. From day one he was responsive and did what he said he would, when he said he would. When I requested a formal quote he got it to me within 24 hrs. Many of the other top rated contractors on the yelp list never sent me the quote or ever even followed up. He was much more price effective than some of those other contractors who quoted me on the spot but never sent it in writing. Make what you will of that. The job took a little longer than expected but it wasn't his fault. Overall I am very happy with the work and would definitely use him again in the future!

    From closet to full bathroom!

    We cannot say enough about how pleased we are with the project that Michael and team completed. We had the wild idea of turning a closet into a bathroom to create a guest suite, and they brought that to life quickly and easily. Our project consisted of creating a brand new full bathroom (plumbing and all) out of a closet, then rebuilding a new closet in the guest room, plus updating all of the tile in a separate bathroom. They completed the project faster than expected, communication and estimate were clear along the way, and the team was clean, respectful, punctual, responsive and extremely hard working. They cleaned up after each day and made the process smooth and easy for us. We highly recommend Michael Remodeling.

    Removed the counters, moved an electrical outlet down, leveled the wall, and removed my sink.

    Contracted Micheal and his team for a partial demo of my kitchen counters. I had reached out to a few remodeling companies in the area and he was the only one to respond and set up a prompt estimate evaluation. Within a week he was able to come out and take out my old counters and do some electrical and plumbing work too. It was all done within a day. It looks good and saved me some money compared to the big box store. It's going to be very easy for the rest of the job to get done now! Thanks for everything!

    Small bathroom renovation.

    Michael and his colleague did a fantastic job on our small bathroom renovation. The work was reasonably priced, they were always punctual, and best of all, finished within the timeframe I was told. He was also able to start essentially a week after I signed the contract, as well. The renovation was mostly cosmetic, as we originally thought we had a plumbing issue, but Michael was able to figure out that we didn't without having to destroy our downstairs neighbor's ceiling. Everything was taken out except the tub (it's cast iron!), and they put new tile on the shower wall and floor, new plumbing fixtures, installed a new vanity light, toilet, and hardware, as well as new drywall and paint. Michael and Edward also took great care in installing the floating vanity, as our two kids primarily use the bathroom, to ensure it is securely on the wall. Michael even helped me assemble the vanity I ordered. Overall, I'm very pleased with the quality of the work and would definitely hire and recommend Michael Contracting again.

    Michael and his team remodeled both of the bathrooms in our condo. He and his team were fantastic! We didn't know what to expect with our first renovation experience, but Michael gave us a quote quickly that was close to half of what we got from others. Plus, they were fast! No one else said they could do the job by the time we'd have guests, but Michael and his team started the job only two weeks after the quote and worked at our place every weekday until it was complete (and even one Saturday). He was very responsive to our many questions and even suggested some things for us to buy we wouldn't have known about (or bought them himself and saved the receipts). We got the quartz countertop for the master bath through him, too, and he handled everything. The bathrooms look great, and we'll certainly have him back for our next project.

    We absolutely love the work Michael did with our bathroom. They lay our new shower floor and put in the shower wall tile in a professional and quick manner. It looks even better than we'd hoped. We would definitely hire this team again.

    Michael and his fantastic team remodeled the only bathroom in our condo. When we were initially searching for contractors, we were getting outrageous quotes if we were even lucky enough to get a response at all. Michael, on the other hand, was incredibly responsive, gave us a super competitive quote, and committed to finishing the project in one week. Ambitious. We gathered up all of the materials and work started within three weeks of our initial conversation. Michael and his team showed up every morning promptly at 8:00 AM and worked until 5:00 PM every evening. They were clean, quick, incredibly professional, and provided a high-quality result. This was our first time doing a project like this, so Michael actually helped us through the whole thing, explaining everything that he was working on and even providing some items that we missed and saved his receipts. He finished the project as quoted and even did a little extra work for us within that timeline and the results speak for themselves. To say that we are pleased with him and his team's work would be an understatement. 10/10 would recommend him and WILL be using him again for our future projects.

    Highly recommend Michael to anyone. After having a handyman attempt to hang a tv unsuccessfully, needed to hire a real professional. Michael & team took down the drywall, reinforced and did a superb job w/ cleanup, painting and hanging the TV. I also had them replace a cracked pedestal sink that was in extremely tight quarters in a small half bathroom which they also did extremely well. Michael and team are perfectionists and already making a list of other projects for them to complete.

    Bathroom remodel - tub and vanity

    Michael and his team provided very good value and quality results for work on kitchen island, master bath full remodel and interior painting. He went above and beyond to bring to my attention bad plumbing and remediated the issues. Once the work schedule was confirmed, they were prompt and ensured to clean up before the day's work was done.

It all made sense when I found that they have a design area upstairs. Downstairs they have various kitchen items and gadgets. An appointment is required to talk about cabinetry and get some estimates. I met with Marnie, and she was fantastic. I had Opinions on what I did and did not want and she seemed pleased with that and that I had actually done the research on the cabinetry options she'd sent, so I came in knowing precisely which ones I wanted. It definitely made the appointment go more quickly since I already knew which door styles and colors I was interested in. She talked with me about some of the technical aspects (e.g., framed vs. frameless vanities, top mount vs. under mount sinks, etc.) and they had various examples on display. They also had most of the door styles to have a better idea of what they'd look like. For the bathroom in which the vanity would be installed, the options here were more than we wanted to spend. I'd like to consider an update for the main bathroom, though, and would look to AKB for that job. The companies they work with have really beautiful products. Honestly, it makes me want to do more remodeling (main bathroom! Kitchen!) because wandering around the showroom made me want everything! I'm probably not quite that much of a masochist given the construction that would entail, but....

I have been able to upgrade a closet, open packages, soda bottles, and fix an award plaque, and more, all thanks for my trusty Victorinox Swiss Army Knife. I am of the age when many friends are getting married, and I often see knife sets on wedding registries. Here's a $100 cash and a tip that will save you $150 more: just get a good chef's knife, and keep it as sharp as reasonably possible. You may need a bread knife and maybe some steak knives if you plan to do some bbq-ing, but still cannot beat a trusty chef's knife. True to form, both my pocket knife and chef's knife get a fair amount of work. I have a pull through sharpener at home (though it technically hones more than it sharpens). This one is good for some regular 'maintenance' when the edge starts slipping instead of gliding through a tomato, but every now and again, having a professional but a proper edge does wonders. Now, as much as I would love to have a kitchen knife sharp enough to shave with, I also know this would result in a brittle knife that would break as soon as it met cartilage. At the same time, I have seen many reels of knives that can cut paper on the fly. While I found out there is a certain technique to do so, Northside Cutlery was able to get my knives sharp enough to glide through paper. The rates are reasonable at $7/knife, and the turnaround time is fast. Everyone working the shop was kind and friendly as well. While professional sharpening is not something I do on a regular basis, I can absolutely see myself returning to Northside Cutlery for all my sharpening needs.

He had offered to come fix the water gauge, but after coming to look at the issue, he has not gotten back to us in 5 weeks.

After the purchase was completed, I was contacted and told that their supplier had increased pricing and that I would need to pay an additional $183.40 for them to fulfill the order. When I declined, they stated they would not honor the original price and refused to complete the transaction. This is not a pricing issue from the customer's perspective -- it is a failure on the seller's side to properly manage inventory and supplier pricing before charging a customer's credit card. Once an order is confirmed and payment is taken, the expectation is that the seller will honor the agreed price. Attempting to pass along post-sale cost increases to the customer is not an acceptable business practice. I offered multiple reasonable solutions, all of which were rejected as "non-negotiable." The company ultimately chose not to honor a confirmed and paid order. Buyers should be aware that pricing shown at checkout may not be honored after payment is processed. I would not recommend doing business with this company.

Follyn created a "duplex down" turning a previously unfinished part of the basement into a family room, and remodeled the offices for our family business. The project also involved removing and rebuilding our rear porches and enclosed stairwell, as well as remodeling a bathroom, adding a powder room, and gutting and relaying our kitchen and our daughter's bedroom. We used an architect who created great plans, but John's vision and creativity have given us so much more usable space, and beautifully carried our dreams to fruition. We are so glad we entrusted our project to John. His honesty and work ethic are rare. Our architect recommended him initially. Her words were "I think you will find him quite capable." She was so right. We have this old house, and any unusual findings were nothing that gave John pause. To create a legal duplex, we needed to separate our stairwell from the 2nd floor apartment, and move all electrical panels out of the basement. Our gorgeous custom iron spiral staircase and rolling-shutter door concealing electrical panels and meters accomplished this. He tore off our old frame, vinyl sided, 2-level back porch and stairwell structure, and rebuilt it with a brick base and durable Hardie Board siding. The former crawl space was excavated to give us a mud room, huge coat closet, and an under-the-stair storage room. Our porch, which we use quite a bit could not increase in size, but still needed to make better use of the space. This was achieved by eliminating a door and suspending the grill off of the custom iron rails. Our basement was dug down to give us another 12-14 inches of ceiling height-- not easy to do with our shared driveway, no alley, and horrible parking in Lakeview East. This involved supporting our home with temporary columns and putting footings deeper and extending our iron columns to meet the new footings, adding radiant floor heating-- and then pouring concrete. John's expertise in sewers, drains, and a pumps will keep us safe from flooding. All structural elements of our home were inspected and repaired where necessary. Our home is over 100 years old, and is poised to last at least that long going forward. Our kitchen was completely remodeled-flipping the old cooking and dining areas. This gave us two new beautiful and better functioning spaces. All of the cabinets are customwood and were very competitively priced. Follyn Builders has a vast list of excellent sources that they go to for materials and custom work. Their sources offer sharp pricing for quality work. John selects and works with a wonderful team of subcontractors. They are all pros whom I enjoyed being around when I was home. Even still, if something wasn't quite right, John would point it out to us first and then have it corrected. He had our backs every step of the way. Ann does an incredible job with materials management and all of the behind-the-scenes action like parking permits, etc. On the very rare occasion where John is not available, Ann is also very capable on-site as well. Whether she is supervising an installation, or prioritizing the tasks of subcontractors to keep the work flow efficient, she is an experienced pro. I could go on... I checked references before hiring Follyn and heard similar praise. Then, I walked a Follyn project that was nearing completion and was totally sold. I was completely blown away by the level of craftsmanship from the multi-piece molding and custom built-ins to the state-of-the-art technology that today's homes demand. Friends have asked me if the stress of construction got to me. My answer is always that I had the time of my life, and although I am excited to have our home completed, I miss the activity, and the excitement of seeing the conversion at the hands of people who are so talented. Five stars is not nearly enough for Follyn Builders and Developers!
