Truly impressed and grateful for the craftsmanship and originality of the custom piece Graham…read morecreated. I was looking for a unique home office installation that could function as a workspace while also housing my library of music, photo albums, and books. I also had some specific wish list items such as a "hiding" bourbon nook. While the functionality of the piece was crucial, I would dare to say the aesthetic was even more important to me. My hope was that the space would be so inviting and inspiring that even after I'd hang up ye ole' work hat, that I'd still want to linger in the room to unwind with a good book, some good tunes (and maybe a tumbler of good bourbon too...). I've dropped in some photos of the finished product as well as my original crappy doodle of what I was looking for and will try to upload a few photos once I get everything settled. Graham and his small but mighty team were amazing to work with from start to finish. Graham was highly collaborative and offered phenomenal suggestions. My favorite was his suggestion to situate the bookshelves above the desk at an angle. This provided more of an ample workspace and also added to the artistic flare of the piece. I plan on hanging up a canvas print in between the bookshelves, so the orientation of the shelves will also guide the eye to the print. Because Willson Woodworking is pretty much a one person show, it took a few months from when I gave the green light to when the finished product was installed. However, Graham and team were upfront from the beginning about how many projects were queued up prior to mine. It is beyond worth it to have a one-of-a-kind piece that is of the highest quality rather than something that is mass produced and can be found in every other home. One other note on value: I did reach out to two other contractors about the project before deciding on Willson Woodworking. One was a local handyman, and one was a closet solutions company. All three quotes came in at roughly the same price. I think this speaks volumes about just how reasonable Willson Woodworking was in terms of pricing. This was definitely an investment regardless of which contractor I chose, but there was no comparison between the three in terms of the finished product. Shout out to Kevin, who professionally painted the shelves (regent blue). Like Graham, Kevin was kind enough to stop by my house and talk through thoughts on color choices. Plus, he helped Graham install the finished product! Another shout out to Raychel, who coordinated the administrative components of the project. Full disclosure: I'll be posting this same review on other platforms as I want to be sure to champion this local vendor!

They were extremely professional from the design to the execution and installation of the project. When we ran into an issue with the size of the drawers they were quick to correct the problem. We were consistently updated throughout the process and the timeline they provided at the beginning was accurate.

We can't wait to work with Wade Brothers again on a future project, and would recommend them to anyone looking for high quality, custom pieces for their home.

If only we had learned about how great Mr. Handyman of Naperville is earlier, we would have been a…read morelot happier with repair and installation experiences. We recently had a different "fix it" company here for two days. We gave up on them in frustration. They made a lot of errors and were very slow. ***Then we switched to Mr. Handyman and everything turned around for the better.*** Kevin and Ray got more done in half a day than the two other workers accomplished in two days. And Keven and Ray did a much more professional, higher quality job. Our activities included electrical (over 40 switches and outlets replaced!), painting, basement ceiling track replacement, painting and installation of a basement handrail, sump pump work, exterior caulking, and duct replacement and sealing. Their hourly rate might be a little higher than some of their competitors, but their total cost, due to their expertise and work ethic, was far less. I have absolutely zero hesitation recommending this firm.

I can't say enough great things about Daryll. He came in after a very bad experience with a…read moreprevious contractor and completely turned things around. He not only corrected a long list of poor workmanship, but also did beautiful, high-quality carpentry throughout my home. Daryll framed and installed multiple new windows, built a new front window bump-out to replace an old bay window, and widened the entrance to my living room by several feet--each project done with incredible attention to detail and craftsmanship. Everything feels solid, well thought-out, and professionally executed. Beyond his skills, Daryll is truly a pleasure to work with. He's kind, friendly, honest, and clearly takes a lot of pride in what he does. You can tell he genuinely cares about doing things the right way and making sure his clients are happy. If you're looking for a carpenter you can trust, I highly recommend Daryll. I'm so grateful I found him.

The top portion of an exterior trim window on my second floor was starting to rot and peel away, so…read moreI was looking to have someone to be able to remove and replace it. It was a bit of a tricky job due to the trim being arched, which meant it had to be traced and cut appropriately. I had the pleasure of contacting David, whom I asked several questions of how he would go about the process and I felt very comfortable with everything he walked through. He scheduled the work for a couple weeks out, text notifications let me know when he would be arriving and he was able to complete everything within a few hours. David cut the replacement beautifully using PVC so there is no maintenance on it in the future and caulked / sealed up all points of exposure to rain. He was very efficient, kind, and answered all the questions I had since I'm learning to do these kinds of tasks on my own. The pricing was extremely competitive and there's no question that I'll have David back pretty soon for other jobs around my home that I'm not comfortable handling. Highly recommended, thanks again David! Best, Charlie

Well Mike did get back to me right away saying it would be best for me to go into their website and fill out the form they have there to give them a better idea of what I needed and I fill out the form and basically if you don't have top $$$$$$$ they won't take on your project! They give you the option of the lowest Estimate Budget of $50,000 up to $750,000+ if it's not high enough i guess they just say no to you! He basically email me telling me, "We are super busy right now and won't be able to get over there anytime soon I'm sorry to say" He could of just told me that he was busy through the yelp add and not wasted my time on going into their website for nothing! So if you are able to pay top $$$$$ then contact this company! It's sad they couldn't even come look at my project and see if they were able to help out!

Mike's crew is the best in the business: friendly, hard-working, trustworthy, and true craftsmen. As for Mike himself, he's detail-oriented and hungry to grow his business based on actually being good and delivering a good product. A great bonus for me was Mike's usage of modern web-based project tracking and collaboration tools; he always had all the answers and there was never a miscommunication. My wife and I had a non-trivial renovation planned: removing a wall, relocating the entire kitchen, staircase carpentry replacement, hardwood floor refinish on the first floor, and replacing carpet with hardwood on the second floor. Almost everybody you talk to has some kind of contractor horror story that ends in a protracted lawsuit or the contractor skipping town with the down payment, or worse! My research led me to Ambrose Builders, and I'm glad it did; the process couldn't have gone smoother for such a large and varied project. Special shout-outs to the general carpenter (also named Mike) for doing tons of big projects plus all the little finishes that really tie everything together, and to the flooring guys, they went ham and finished their part in less than 2 weeks. Electricity, plumbing, and HVAC was done accurately and passed (notoriously fickle) building codes easily. Mike puts his name on the sign because he rightly stakes his professional reputation on his work. You won't find a better contractor, so you might as well stop looking now.
