After getting quotes from 3 different companies, we ended up going with Scalise based on their product, service and pricing. I was able to take samples home and make sure it was the exact product I wanted. Additional bonus is that they are a local, family-owned business, which is always great to support. Highly recommend them for all your stone needs!!

Adam S. is absolutely right - BC Construction deserves the highest praise for their remodeling…read morework. My husband and I moved into a 2-bedroom condo in desperate need of an overhaul, and our designer recommended Mike for our major renovation projects. Mike came in, listened to all our needs and took copious notes. We had a complete estimate for everything within a few days of our meeting, including cost and time frames for: - hardwood floor install in 2 rooms; - hardwood floor repair for the rest of the apartment; - tile install for the foyer; - fireplace tile surround plus fireplace repainted; - entire condo repainting, including ceilings and exposed ductwork, and; - complete kitchen remodel. The work was done on time and within budget, even with the inevitable surprises that always come up during reno projects. The crew was punctual, efficient, always respectful and very neat. Zack came in to manage our tile projects, and both he & Mike were obsessive about details; our foyer has a concrete column that required a curved cut on our tile floor - and it is literally perfect thanks to their attention. We're planning our bathroom remodel in the next year, and I've already got Mike on speed-dial.

We recently remodeled our master bathroom and at the recommendation of the interior design firm we…read moreused, went with BC Construction as our General Contractors. We did meet with a couple other contractors initially just to be thorough, but were very impressed with Mike and Zack at BC at our first meeting, and continued to be throughout the entire project. We live in an old victorian and have practically remodeled the entire interior. BC has by far been the best contractors we've used in the 9 years we've been here: - The final budget was very close to their quote; - When there were discrepancies, they explained why and always asked permission beforehand to do the work; - They updated us weekly on ongoing costs (Mike is a former financial analyst so I received a nicely formatted Excel spreadsheet each week :) - Their sub-contractors were all very good (they mentioned they've "curated" their subs until they've found the best ones and I believe it - from painters to electrical, they were excellent) - They were obsessive about a clean work site, especially at the end of the day when they left - Very trustworthy; we left them alone in our house extensively, gave them a key, and never had an issue And most importantly, the quality of their work is fantastic. With other contractors, it has always felt like 80% or 90% of the work was good, but there were these little issues at the end of the job that gnawed at you later. Not with these guys. They either do the work beautifully the first time, or if there is an issue, they correct it. They're a little OCD themselves, so you don't have to be all over them constantly. And when they don't feel like they have clear direction, instead of making assumptions and moving ahead, they always asked what to do, which was appreciated. Mike and Zack and their entire crew were also just good guys and a pleasure to be around. Overall I obviously can't say enough about BC. They're not for your handyman type projects, but if you have major renovations like bathrooms, basements, kitchens, custom decks, etc. I would strongly consider them.

Michal and his team replaced our aging wooden roof deck with Trex. We contacted multiple…read morecontractors for quotes and he was very responsive and able to get the job done much quicker than others quoted. He was also able to work with our HOA to get the docs they needed quickly. The crew he brought did all the work in the time they originally specified and did an excellent job at removing the old deck, refinishing the existing base structure, and then adding on the new Trex. I would certainly recommend Michal and team for any future projects.

He was quick to reply with our initial request for a quote and came by the next day to check out the projects. He priced the work reasonably - was quick to complete the work (stained the roof deck, tore out the carpet on the other deck and installed new decking, even dog-proofed it, to boot!), he paid great attention to detail, and did an overall awesome job. We would definitely recommend him to others and would absolutely use him again!

But at the next meeting, only one Tom showed up (the other Tom was confused by this, and said that it seemed perhaps his partner had "slept late").

So needless to say, I didnt move forward with them, but perhaps if I had they would have been more profiessional, and done good work.

3/12/2020 Update...I've worked with this company before and…read morethe electrician they sent out was fast and efficient and got a ceiling fan installed in my wonky condo. Things don't always go as planned & repairs aren't always as simple as when you start from scratch. A faucet repair I had done didn't go as planned. Joe, the owner reached out to me & made things right. He truly seems like he wants to make his company the best it can be. I appreciate that kind of integrity and honesty in a company and will work with them again in a heartbeat. It's not easy finding people you can trust for home odd jobs. If my mom lived in Illinois, this is the company I'd call to help her. Initially, I had a snag with this company after scheduling them to come out and they cancelled at the last minute on the day of the appointment. The owner worked with me and after listening to my mini-tirade agreed to set up an another appointment. They seemed open to constructive criticism to set them apart from other companies. The fan was installed pretty quickly (it wasn't a straightforward install) and I felt the service was reasonably priced. I'll be happy to recommend them and use them in the future for other home repairs.

Instead, I was asked to pay nearly $3,000 more--before anything had even begun. I canceled the contract per its own terms and requested a refund. Since then, I've sent multiple emails, certified letters, and even a legal complaint draft. No response. No refund. Nothing. I see from at least one other post from March 2025 that I'm not alone-- Mike W. on Yelp described almost the exact same experience. Same timeline, same silence, same result. This is no longer just my story--it's a pattern. I've tried every private channel to resolve this. Posting here is a last resort. I'm still open to resolving this professionally, and I'll gladly update this review if that happens. But for now, I want other homeowners to know what I experienced.

My husband is an architect by trade, so he has incredibly high standards--and Ned's team exceeded them all. Trivic previously remodeled our downstairs bathroom beautifully, so we were confident that this was the team for our upstairs bathroom rehab. Why they stand out:Flawless Trade Skills: Exceptional work across plumbing, electrical, and structural prep. Even the hidden pipes behind the walls were perfectly straight and true. Master Tile Work: They beautifully matched and laid out a challenging, veined marble-look porcelain tile. The final aesthetic is perfectly balanced and relaxing. Meticulous Work Ethic: The crew arrived on time every day and kept a clean, organized job site.Above-and-Beyond Service: Ned proactively communicated throughout the job and even offered to pick up the finish tiles and towel bars I ordered myself.The pricing was very reasonable for a high-end, extensive project.

I could not be happier with my finished product. One of Ned's contractors, Wes, was amazing and was so particular on every project he did, I appreciate his work as well.
