We had some surprises along the way like finding some piping in the wall we opened up but Joe and Rene were able to reroute everything just fine. We also ordered a new window for the bathroom that we had to wait on and our window contractor kept delaying the install so Joe and Rene offered to pick up the window and install it for us. Really saved us a lot of time and hassle! Overall such a good experience-so easy to work with and great communication throughout. We are already planning on having them do more projects for us! Highly recommend! Great value and great service!!

Inviting strangers into your house to make a lot of dust and noise can be stressful, but the whole crew was very nice and trustworthy which alleviates a lot of stress. Hiring AC as our contractor for 2 bathrooms, demo, framing/finishing, floor refinishing, plumbing, electrical, tile, project management, and CAD and cleanup restoration was a great value. We're happy with the results and feel great. AC made lots of suggestions we hadn't considered which turned out to be very helpful. At the same time they consulted with us and digested our direction very well. The BUILDERtrend app was also a great way to communicate during construction. To all those considering, I think you can be confident in their professionalism, craftsmanship and responsiveness. Good luck!

From…read morestart to finish, Mike and the entire team was professional, communicative, and genuinely easy to work with. They took the time to walk us through every step of the process, making sure we understood what to expect in terms of timeline and cost -- no surprises, no stress. The quality of the craftsmanship speaks for itself. Every detail was handled with care, and the finished result truly transformed our home. They were respectful of our space, kept things as tidy as possible throughout the project, and stayed on schedule. If you're looking for a reliable, skilled remodeling contractor in the Chicago area, look no further. Kolin Group has earned a customer for life. Thank you!

I had designers working on that side of things and Michael worked very closely with them throughout the process to ensure that everything turned out beautifully.

I just can't recommend Mike and Kolin Group enough to anyone - great job and THANK YOU for everything. Just don't get too busy to take on my last step - guest bath remodel in 2020!

Sam is the best. He recently finished renovating my new rental property and it looks spectacular…read more He renovated the kitchen, installed new porcelain tile floors with electric radiant heat, and created a laundry room in the basement. Apart from being very easy to work with, he is a true craftsman that understands good design and knows how to get the job done on schedule. As someone who works in the construction industry, I recognize and appreciate quality work. Sam is very professional and is not there to waste your time. The apartment had a lot of interest as soon as I posted the listing. The custom kitchen really made the apartment stand out in the increasingly competitive Pilsen neighborhood market. I just signed a lease for the apartment and could not be happier with the product and service that Sam has provided. This is the second project that he's done for me and, as usual, he didn't disappoint. I look forward to working with him on future projects. Do yourself a favor and give Sam a call for your next project. You won't regret it.

Sam is truly a Class Act…read more Having been through our fair share of harrowing and disappointing experiences with handymen and contractors in the past, we were extremely wary as we got started with our kitchen remodel planning process. As a matter of due diligence, we invited 10 contractors to propose a quote. For one, Sam's estimate was very competitive and reasonable (compared to other quotes). More importantly, he quickly grasped what our overall objectives were for the space, and proactively made some great suggestions that gave us the confidence that he was in sync with our requirements. As with most customers that go through a major remodel, my wife and I went back and forth on our choices for the cabinets and countertop, and not once did Sam flinch or pushback. On the contrary, there were certain additional items that were not part of our initial discussions (and estimate) that Sam voluntarily brought up and offered to do for us (at no additional cost) despite knowing that it would mean additional labor to him. Aware that we had wanted the remodel to be completed before Christmas as were hosting a party at home, Sam spent most of Christmas eve literally rolling up his sleeves and working non-stop for over 8 hours (without even meal breaks) and left only after he personally cleaned up the space. It is not always easy for small business owners to consistently put 'customer service' ahead of profits, but that is exactly what I observed of Sam, time and again. He did not accept the final payment until he was certain that we were 100% happy with the final outcome. I do not believe I have ever written such a long review for anyone, and that is hopefully a testimony to Sam's work. We cannot be more delighted with our new kitchen and I am happy to share some pictures. We look forward to working with Sam again on our future home projects.

I've worked with Howard and Redstone Builders on a couple larger projects: a home renovation and an…read moreexterior brick project. Howard is very friendly and highly communicative. For both projects, he's been able to start work within a week of the proposal. He stands by the quotes he provides; we ran into some unexpected plumbing issues during one of the jobs and he provided a very reasonable change order. The work is very high quality and he is receptive to any feedback on the work. I would definitely recommend working with Howard!

After quite a bit of research I had Howard come to my rental property for a quote. The quote was good and I trusted Howard which would have been fine. As I moved throughout the entire process with Howard, here is what I found... 1) Howard is a really nice guy. He was compassionate to me and the tenants that lived through the work. Same with his employees. 2) Howard's team was always on time and communicated when there were changes. 3) Howard was very easy to work with and always kept me in the loop. 4) When I added on small jobs he was eager to take them. 5) In the end, he did great work. I hate posting this because I don't want to give away my secret trustworthy contractor who does great work and is a pleasure to work with. You can't go wrong with Redstone.
