It promised to be a big job to build back, and after collecting quotes from several Chicago-area contractors for the project, we went forward with Miro and Homewise Remodelers. They were the most responsive out of our vendor list, and priced their work fairly, sensibly, and realistically. And we're so glad we went with Homewise on this project. They were clean, consistent, easy to work with--and they liked our cats, too! The project was delivered mostly on schedule and mostly on budget (the only overage was the purchase of additional bags of cement for fixing the floors--but this was explained early and clearly and was not a surprise cost). And now we have a functional basement again. Thanks Homewise!

He helped us select cabinets and worked through several versions of the kitchen layout until we were happy with it--we were easily able to swap out cabinet layouts and finishings, like adding a farmhouse sink. His crew were reliable, on-time, and respectful of our property throughout the remodel and we appreciated their attention to detail. They solicited our input on decorative details and were quick to fix things we didn't like, e.g., the location of kitchen cabinet pulls. We felt they treated our home as they would their own. The project even wrapped up a few days early. We would absolutely recommend Homewise Remodelers and choose them for future projects.

Outstanding experience with Fix It People!…read more From start to finish, everything was smooth, professional, and efficient. Scheduling was incredibly quick (they were able to get me in the very next day), and communication from the team was clear and proactive throughout the entire process. A special shoutout to Miguel, who handled the work -- he was fantastic. He arrived right on time, was extremely professional, kept the workspace clean, and clearly knew exactly what he was doing. This wasn't a simple install -- it required mounting hardware into a brick wall with proper anchors and sealing -- and Miguel executed it perfectly. The quality of the work is excellent, and everything feels solid and secure. You can tell they take pride in doing things the right way, not just the fast way. Also appreciated how organized the whole process was -- from quote to scheduling to final invoice, it all felt very well run. Value for money, this was worth it. Highly recommend Fix It People, and if you can, ask for Miguel! Will definitely use them again.

I truly wish I had nicer things to say. Crest has been a Chicago staple and when I finally was…read moreready to upgrade my lighting again I went back to the place that had been tried and true for me years ago. But it seems that era has ended. I came in a hot mess, I have no design skills. I relied on the sales person to help me and I thought she was amazing. She was kind, patient and seemed to really get me and my condo style - benig "vintage" and wanting to modernize was beyond me. She was super helpful and made me feel like she knew exactly what I needed. That was until I left the showroom. I ordered two ceiling fans from her that day, it wasn't cheap. I also ordered one I'd found on my own online. I hired someone reputable to install them for me and I was all set. But then they left and within days the two I purchased from Crest (different manufacturers) were both on the fritz. Hard to believe for sure, but both manufacturers agreed this was a fluke and they both had inherent issues requiring replacement. And then I had to replace them, which meant I had to pay for the labor again. One of the fixtures is in a room I hadn't needed the fan for in the first year. But then I did, and it didn't work. At that same time I noticed the on/off switch wasn't working properly either. I called the manufacturer and they agreed it was a warranty claim and to call Crest to replace the wall switch. Not something I feel comfortable doing on my own. When I talked to Crest, they said they'd order me a part and well... they did but never called to tell me it had come in. I called on my own three weeks later and they said it was there waiting for me. I verified I could wait for the weekend to get it. Of course they are closed on Sundays so It had to be during the short Saturday hours. I raced to get there in the window only to find a lot of confusion. It wasn't waiting for me at all. The woman who said she'd call me was there and surprised I was asking questions. She said she hadn't heard back from the manufacturer to answer my question about paying for labor, and they all just threw their hands up and said they couldn't help me because the manager wasn't there. Let's just say it's the end of an era and I won't be back for business in the future. Good luck with your purchases after you leave the store.
