This year same leak, so had a different roofer come out and fixed it properly. This time I went up with roofer and saw what was causing leak around exhaust box.

The original vendor gave a tap dance and on a subsequent trip put some sealant in a few areas. The leak had not been completely fixed. Dardon Roofing was recommended to me by a contractor who I have worked with over the years. The estimator came out and did a bid, which I accepted. When the repair guys came out a week or so later, they determined the scope of the work would be a bit less than they initially thought. The two guys who came out identified a couple areas where a seam had opened a bit, and a couple small holes. The two men completed the job in just over half a day, and to my amazement, the boss reduced the price as a result of the reduction in expected work. The men who worked were professional and polite and did not make a mess. The repair looks good, and I expect to get many more years out of it.

We gave them 7 opportunities over the course of an entire year to come out and fix the issue and each time their "fix" made the leaks worse. They gaslighted us consistently saying the roof wasn't the problem and had us chasing down other issues like tuckpointing, plumbing, sliding door replacements etc and nothing helped. The damage eventually got so bad that we needed a restoration company to come open up the ceiling in 3 rooms. We finally hired a second company to do another full replacement and haven't had a single issue since then. TAR refused to take any accountability or refund us any money. All told we are out over $40,000 thanks to TAR.

Just days after coming home with my newborn, the leaks started around the house--a bathroom, the…read moreroof, the garage. It felt pretty catastrophic. While the plumbers and garage repairmen gave us the runaround, Peter asked a few questions on the phone about the material and type of damage, then he set up the consultation and scheduled the repair within a week. I was afraid we'd need to replace the entire roof, but he offered a budget-friendly option to patch and seal it. While his team was up there, they also found loose and missing caulk around the gutters and repaired that as well. They have a guarantee to come out again if any leaks reappear, which gives me peace of mind, so I can focus on my family. On top of all this, Peter showed up with a touching gift for my newborn. I highly recommend.

We are so pleased with the results. It looks great! It has been a year since this project was…read morecompleted - I wanted to see how everything held up. Four other contractors assessed and quoted the project. Three quoted much lower (didn't actually address the problem), one higher (included rebuilding the our chimney?). First contact with Illinois Home Improvement/Best Brickmasters was Peter Zieba. His thorough knowledge of brick building structures and Chicago bungalows in particular filled us with confidence. Peter kept in contact daily (or every other day). He was easy to to find him via email or phone - no problems. His crew worked through some of the hottest weather in Aug-Sep 2013. In addition to their collective craftsmanship, they carefully removed and replaced our 6-foot, flower-filled window boxes (heavy and awkward). Our little bungalow is the house of our dreams. We wanted the best care and restoration we could afford. Illinois Home Improvement/Best Brickmasters provided that. Hire them for your project!

Be very cautious with IL Home Improvement. The owner, Eric, is professional, but will take your…read moremoney. I provided Eric with detailed architectural plans of a deck and mudroom addition, which were drawn by a professional. I received 3 quotes. Eric was the highest. I told him that we wanted to work with him, but that his cost was higher than his competitors. He said that he had been doing this for 30 years and had completed 100 projects like mine. His quotes were accurate, unlike his competitors who will raise their price during the project. I told Eric that we were willing to scale back our project to fit it within our budget, but needed him to tell us how we could adjust the quote. He said that he could look at the details, but would need $500 to cover the cost of producing an itemized quote (I received detailed quotes from the other contractors). When I met with him again, I very clearly communicated that the original price was over budget. He acknowledged my desire, and gave me his word that he would be within 5-10% of his original estimate. I reminded him (several times) that we would scale back our project to hit the budget. Eric's itemized quote came back 20% higher than the original, AND he removed several large items (finish carpentry, painting, electrical installation, tile installation, heated floor, electrical fixtures, exterior locks and hardware) from the quote that he led me to believe were in the original.* If you add all of these back into the quote, except for the finish carpentry and painting, his cost WENT up 40%. With the carpentry, it would have gone up even more. When I asked him why the big price increase, he didn't have a good reason. I asked him if he could get his cost down. He said he would cover the paint costs, and that I could change some materials and get rid of the mud room foundation, which would knock the costs down about 6-8%. In summary, this was a very frustrating experience. *In Eric's first quote, he wrote, "Having examined the drawings and the site for the project I hereby propose to furnish all labor, material, equipment, service and incidentals necessary to perform and complete the work for the project according to the drawings provided by (architect), dated 10/26/2016 (permit) and per Trade Descriptions outlined below. To be fair, I told Eric that I was thinking about doing the trim for our project to save money, and I may have another contractor do the electrical. It is possible that he misunderstood me and thought that I didn't want those costs included in his response; however, it is doubtful. Even so, his cost went up at a minimum 25%. I asked Eric for a refund. He would not give it.

I had a 2-flat flat roof completely redone by them in 2021, and 2 weeks later the 2nd floor living room ceiling sprung a leak and started dropping plaster. They came to patch the leak on the roof, but it was up to me to fix the interior damage?? Wtf?? It's now 5 years later and I had another roofer to tell me inadequate sealing at the parapet is likely responsible for more moisture damage on the 2nd floor ceiling (again) Reid came in at $17K, whereas Matthews was $18.5K. I should have gone with Matthew's roofing, in spite of the higher cost. They've been at it for much longer.

I kept Stuart Nyberg's business card for years. I wasn't quite sure why, but the only cards that I…read morekeep are for companies that do exceptional work or people who have great integrity. Nyberg is both. When I needed a new roof, I got three estimates. Stuart's price was in the middle, and, mainly, I felt that he was trustworthy, so I chose him. Stuart was the best from beginning to end. He recommended a roof color that I would never have considered on my own, and he showed me how the color enhanced the trim on my house. It's the color I went with, and I am so glad he went the extra mile. The roof was completed in one day, and my neighbors were amazed at their efficiency, and the excellent job his men did in cleaning the whole area before they left. I would say that you could not do better than hiring Stuart Nyberg for your next roof.

I will say unequivocally that my 2 experiences with Nyberg were the least-stress inducing, easiest repairs I've ever had. A few years ago, we had our bungalow's roof replaced. Everything about the experience was seamless. We received an estimate, they came at the appointed time, protected our plants, and the were finished before we knew it. This year we replaced the roof of our 4 car garage. I wish we would have had the money to have done it at the same time as our home roof for financial reasons, but we couldn't at that time. They fixed our roof and replaced gutters and were as efficient and skilled as with our home's roof. I'd recommend Nyberg to anyone!
