I cannot recommend Rooftopia enough! We finished our roof project this Spring 2020 and have been enjoying the space nearly on a daily basis ever since. Jenn and team came out strong with great ideas that needed very little tweaking following an in person meeting to discuss our needs/wants and budget. We truly received a one of a kind pergola and rooftop space. The open communication throughout the process was key as they were navigating bad weather along with COVID and still delivered high quality work in our targeted timeframe. Rooftopia has a fantastic team! read more

After meeting with four other general contractors regarding our project during the Fall of 2021, we landed with the Rooftopia team and could not have been more pleased with the craftsmanship, communication, design and troubleshooting. The team created a design that fit both our budget and our vision. Through myriad supply chain issues (no fault of their own btw), the team consistently communicated next steps in the project. There was one point during the project where the team came together and rectified an unforeseen issue without additional cost or delay. Tony, Catherine, Jenn, and Hayley are leaders in their craft and great human beings to boot. read more

Rooftopia worked with us to find a design that worked for our needs- they listened to our priorities and quickly came up with the perfect design.

The project was done on time and on budget, and the entire staff was personable, professional, and easy to work with. We would highly recommend them to anyone. read more

Jen and Marcin, and their amazing crew, completed a very challenging balcony deck for me. It was challenging from a political and engineering perspective. I have a townhome with a balcony deck that has been sitting unused for 5 years, because of the complicated process of getting an HOA approval. I went through numerous contractors but they were all immediately discouraged by the HOA process. I was also looking specifically for contractors that can use pedestals for the flooring, in order to preserve the roof membrane. Jenn and Marcin accepted the project without a single doubt and were very enthusiastic in helping me with the challenge. They had to work with the HOA engineer and my architect in order to get the HOA and city permit approval. Their talent doesn't stop with maneuvering challenging political roads, but they are also incredibly creative thinkers and problem solvers! The city required the existing balcony parapet wall to be raised in order to meet current code, and the HOA required that no penetrations be made to the existing structure. Rooftopia's metal working crew is top talent! They were able to engineer a custom metal railing that didn't require securing to the existing parapet wall and it looks absolutely stunning. The pedestal system and pavers they recommended are both incredibly practical and beautiful. It is rare to see so many different talented people in such a small company, but Rooftopia is the one place that gets really close to being a true utopia. read more

We have a side patio in our duplex down condo in Uptown on the North Side of Chicago. When we purchased our property, the patio was a dated-looked exposed aggregate nightmare with a drainage problem. When we began looking for companies to remove the concrete and re-design the space, we contacted nearly 20 companies. We ended up choosing Rooftopia because of their sterling reputation and the ease of communication, as well as their innovative ideas and respect for our budget limits. I literally cannot praise this company enough. They completed the project on time, on budget and kept us consistently updated the entire time. They pay great attention to detail and dealt very well with some last minute changes in the plan and complications. If you are having an urban landscape or patio completed, don't let the name Rooftopia make you think that they just do rooftops. They did a better job with our outdoor patio space than I could imagine and better than what we would have gotten with a typical landscaping company. Our patio is literally the envy of all of our friends and people keep telling us it looks like something out of an HGTV television program. The difference between what it was before and what it is now is remarkable. On top of everything else, they are very honest and ethical people and truly want to do a good job. I could tell that they actually wanted us to be happy with our space and wanted us to have exactly what we wanted. They were very flexible and very, very easy to work with. I would recommend this company to anyone. They are AMAZING. read more

My wife and I bought a condo with a large outdoor area. We spent several months meeting with various outdoor design firms and ended up selecting Rooftopia to build our privacy screens, pergola, planter boxes, and benches. Whereas most firms spent a majority of our meetings taking measurements, Rooftopia spent their time getting to know us, our preferences, and our space. The extra time and attention showed in their designs. After each meeting we received updated 3-D drawings of the design and updated itemized budget. They were always on time, always prepared, and always respected our budget. We also liked the idea that the people we were meeting with were the same people who were designing and would eventually build our outdoor elements. During the construction Rooftopia always followed through on build dates and kept us posted on the budget. Each of the elements are not only beautiful but they are sturdy and well built. We had total confidence in every member of the Rooftopia team and appreciated their craftsmanship and respect of our home. Our outdoor space was completed about a month ago and we've hardly been inside since. We're happy with our decision to work with Rooftopia each time we look outside and see our beautiful outdoor area. read more

Rooftopia is a true gem in the Midwest. I met Jenn through a friend who had used Rooftopia for their rooftop garden. Rooftopia has innovative ideas, beautiful design work and are fast and efficient in getting your space ready for the season. They've built their business from the ground up and truly have the customers best interests in mind, using quality materials and unique plants. Our backyard patio area is our main hangout, and we highly recommend Rooftopia to all of our admiring friends! read more

Rooftopia built and installed a new awning, balcony rail, and gate door for us and we could not be more happy. They did an amazing job. We wanted something industrial and modern but still feel like home. They came up with a clean look using both a warm cedar and heavy steel. Their communication was always clear and punctual, and their crew was very pleasant to have on sight. The experience and results from Rooftopia get five stars! read more

We live in Skokie and decided that after 17 years it was time to redo our deck. We wanted something that was different and had some ideas about a two tiered deck/patio with a pergola and a fire pit. Friends of ours had found Rooftopia but did not end up meeting with them. We decided to meet them and see what they could do. The results are outstanding ! We could not be happier. The deck has two levels, a pergola over half of it. The floor is the most beautiful tiger wood and the railings and pergola are painted white. They built a cabinet for our grill with a beautiful treated wood counter top. We were very specific about our wants and out needs and they were able to satisfy both. Attached we did a patio made out of blue stone with a fire pit in the middle. Everything turned out beautifully. Really the best thing we can say about Jenn and Marcin is that they are a pleasure to deal with. They are professional and creative and the kind of people you want to invite over to sit on your new deck and enjoy a bbq! Their workman were amazing, in particular Danny who is so careful and meticulous. He's an amazing carpenter and an all around nice guy. It was a pleasure doing business with them and we would not be afraid to use them in the future if the need arose. read more

Amazing! I was referred by a friend who had a great experience with Jenn & Marcin - so I hired them to revive my patio space. The result was amazing. Jenn is an incredibly talented designer and super patient with a great attention to detail. Marcin can literally build anything and is a great problem solver which was invaluable since my patio space is small and my expectations were big. Plus, they're both just good people. They did the whole job - initial concept, design renderings, purchasing or building from scratch all the components, construction, clean-up, and follow-up. Kept right on budget and communicated openly throughout. I will hire them again for sure and now my neighbors are asking who did my patio work. read more

We have had the distinct pleasure of working with Rooftopia on a few projects to beautify our Bucktown home. Both Jenn and Marcin were not only knowledgeable but also personable throughout the process. They were able to bring some much needed "green" space in to our urban living space. The plants and containers that they used are sustainable and add value to our property. I often see people walking by and pausing to check out our amazing front yard - that is all thanks to Jenn and Marcin and the wonder that is Rooftopia. It is without hesitation that I recommend them read more
