Our project involved both exterior and interior work--including replacement of exterior stucco on 3 floors, water intrusion mitigation, and interior repair work. Their crews were prompt and professional and the project was completed within the proposed timeline. They responded to all concerns during and after the project was completed, and even returned several times to ensure that both the unit owner and the Association Board were completely satisfied. They even gave us a credit when the project didn't require some anticipated materials! We would definitely consider using their contracting services in the future.

We wanted newly constructed rear porches and Myl General Contracting over delivered. Kareem was…read moregreat to communicate with and was present during the building process. While we were in the contracting phase, we decided to replace the whole roof in addition to porch roof, and Kareem took care of that too. He facilitated permits, architectural plans, demo, construction, electrical, windows, and siding. Throughout the process, Kareem was very positive and supportive which is what we needed during the pandemic. We would work with him again.

In February 2021 I called around to a few places trying to get quotes on having a deck built onto…read morethe back of my house.  Unlike most of the other companies, Kareem quickly returned my call and showed up at the agreed time. He kept that level of professionalism throughout the process and kept everything moving along on schedule. I ended up getting my cement walkways replaced as well as the deck built, and I was happy and relieved that MYL was also able to take care of that project. The crews he works with are respectful and took extra measures to protect my landscaping and clean up at the end of each day. I highly recommend MYL and plan to use them for other improvements in the future.

Overdue review of Andrew and Anla Construction here. I could not recommend a company more than I…read morerecommend Anla. From the quality of work, to the prices, to the reliability and timeliness of each interaction, Anla was top notch. We also trusted Andrew and team completely and frequently left them alone in our house while they worked on updating both of our upstairs bathrooms. When we had a miscommunication on paint colors, Andrew and team never questioned the outcome, they immediately came back over and repainted the bathroom. To top it off, I also asked Andrew if he could help me to notch out a portion of my basement ceiling to so I could fit something downstairs. This had nothing to do with my bathroom remodel, however Andrew immediately came over with his crew and helped do it at no cost. If you're looking for a remodel, I highly recommend Anla.

What I enjoyed most about working with Andrew from Anla Construction was he was so professional and…read moretrustworthy. We recently ended up doing 2 projects with him. He is talented, helpful, and reliable. He showed up every morning on time and finished the projects a few days earlier than quoted. He is client focused. This was the first time we did a bathroom remodel and he helped guide me in making decisions for function and design for our bathrooms. I had a wonderful experience working with Andrew and I highly recommend Anla Construction for any of your home remodeling needs.

Omar and…read morehis team were amazing to work with on our basement project in Barrington, IL - they were punctual, responsive, talented in their work, and accommodating to our design changes. They were instrumental in coming up with the design to begin with, then were involved throughout the entire process. Their contracting team is outstanding and detail oriented - every part of the renovation was impeccably done. They showed up 6x a week and stayed on schedule to get it done on time. Their crew was also respectful and cleaned up to minimize the dust, which we really appreciated as a family with young kids. Overall, a great experience with Northwest and highly recommend them. We definitely plan to reach back out for future renovation projects.

That is why we continue to use him and also consistently refer him to our friends. His communication exceeds his peers. From small projects to full kitchen remodels, he should be the one you call. His crew shows up on time daily, works hard and they do an excellent job of keeping the worksite clean. Any problem that arises, he calmly addresses it without any issues. If you have any project in the northwest or western burbs, Rafal and Dream Home Services should be your first call. Would be happy to speak to anyone who would want more info.

Jim Gracia and his whole team were such a pleasure to work with. Jim is so professional and thinks…read moreof everything. He has remodeled a ton of kitchens, so he foresees most issues before they arise. He had a great relationship with our kitchen designer (Kitchen Design Partners - Nancy Jacobson), so the entire process was painless and often didn't require much effort on my part. Jim is also creative - he came up with the perfect solution to fix a weird nook that resulted from some demolition work. Jim was very quick to respond to any questions, and always made me aware of the work schedule. Jim's estimate broke everything down nicely allowing us to see how much some extra work would cost so that my wife and I could decide to move forward with some projects and forego others that were outside our budget. But most importantly everything looks amazing. The picture says more than I ever could. I will definitely work with Jim again in the future for any remodeling needs.

Update 7/18/23: B quality, D service and A+ (premium) pricing. We were given several promises and…read more"no, problem, we can do that" sort of talk, and later on as the project went on and invoices were paid (we always paid on time), some of those promises were magically no longer possible. We paid on time, always, but timelines by Jim were not kept. I do not mean timelines related to supply chain issues or them being busy....we totally understood that. What I mean is that he would say he would call/text at a certain day or time and we would never hear back. Sometimes it would take a MONTH to hear (no joke), it would take a MONTH to get an invoice. It took from June to November to address our punch list which just took 1.5 days of actual work on site. Most of the work was great and good quality, and they clean up after themselves well every day. However, some of the subcontractors would lean materials against newly painted walls and they did leave pizza boxes lying around and fast food containers at times when they left for the day. As the project came to a close, the response time was longer and longer. There's no excuse for it, but I think I would use them again as the work is good, as long as you are very patient when you don't hear back as promised. Also, we had our cabinets repainted and the subcontractor had to touch them up after we noticed several unpainted areas. Since the project we have also noticed that they did not move the refrigerator to paint the walls next to the refrigerator and you can see if you stand in front of the refrigerator the old paint color next to the new paint color on the wall. I will have to have someone to come in and fix that. Additionally, the tiles in the bathroom were installed with bubbles in the caulk. They did fix that. Jim also told me they could not remove the rust from the door hinges on the doors of the bathrooms without taking the doors off the hinges, and that it would be a huge undertaking. Since then, we've had the building superintendent take a look, and he was able to remove the rest from the door hinges in a couple of hours without removing the doors. Cost me $150. Easy. ***UPDATE: I would not use this company again. Jim told me point blank at the initial meeting they could move a thermostat from the middle of a wall (eye sore) to the corner so I could have a cleaner look. This was something I expressed wanted and was told it was no problem. After the contracts are signed, and after invoice after invoice was paid on time, I would bring up the thermostat being moved, and it was always pushed to the side in the conversation. Eventually, I was told by Jim that it would be too expensive to do and far too difficult. In the end, the thermostat stayed in the same location and they replaced it with a new thermostat of their choosing. The thermostat they chose and installed has poor reviews online. The thermostat has not been giving accurate readings since April and we reached out to some HVAC companies about coming by to check it out. Three companies came and all said our HVAC system was fine, but the new thermostat Jim installed was faulty and was the problem. There was no way for us to get an accurate reading. I texted Jim the situation and told him that the HVAC company we trusted and we have used before was on site and was willing to install a new thermostat including labor for $300. He texted me back saying that he was at a sporting event in WI and would call me as soon as he could. In my text, I asked him how he would like me to proceed, and if I should have the new thermostat installed since the HVAC guy was already here and if they would reimburse me or if they wanted to come by and replace it later. I never heard back from Jim, ever. Not a peep. So unprofessional. I have passed along his information to 3 designers as I'm in the industry. This is not how you treat customers. The HVAC company came back days later and installed a new thermostat - now everything is fine. I paid for this out of pocket. Still, nothing from Jim.
