Coming from design backgrounds and based in Oak Park where most renovated homes lean heavily…read moreWestern, my wife and I were initially doubtful that anyone could pull off what we envisioned: an Organic Modern Asian aesthetic fused with Scandinavian calm, accented by our own art pieces. JRP removed all doubt. They first built our kitchen, which people often say looks like something straight out of a Japanese Michelin restaurant. A year later, we brought them back to rebuild the rest of our home including bedrooms, bathrooms, living room, family room, and backyard patio. We received every detail both JRP and I could think of, including things most people skip over like kerfed door jambs, mudded in vents, and trimless smoke detectors, and JRP delivered flawlessly. The result is beyond what we hoped for and honestly a bit inconvenient now because everyone keeps telling us to submit our home to Architectural Digest :) We are immensely thankful to the entire JRP team for their craftsmanship, patience, and commitment to making our vision a reality. I've recommended JRP to everyone who has asked and will continue to do so without hesitation.

We recently completed a full kitchen remodel with JRP, and we couldn't be more pleased. There are…read morea lot of things that we loved about JRP (and the people that we worked with), but I'll focus on a few highlights: Design Process: Our success started with the design. We spent a few months working with one of their designers, Danni Krueger. After we provided Danni with our ideas and inspiration photos, she created two different design options for us to consider. Her designs not only dramatically improved our kitchen's functionality (e.g., adding a lot more storage and counter space), they also were aesthetically beautiful. She recommended many things that we could never have come up with on our own. Danni is also super personable and easy to work with. Planning/schedule: Have you ever been frustrated about contractors starting a project and then having long periods of time where nothing seems to happen and your project grinds to a halt? That was the opposite of our experience. At the outset of our project, JRP provided a detailed schedule that we could follow on an app (Buildertrend). They had someone doing some sort of work nearly every day, so it always felt that we were moving the ball forward. They provided us daily updates (with pictures) to share what they had done that day and what they planned to do the next. Occasionally, when there was a necessary schedule change, they promptly communicated it along with the reason. Team: Day-to-day, we dealt mostly with Grant Walker (Project Manager) and Regin Wilson (Superintendent). At least one of them showed up every day to give direction and make sure the work was getting done right. These are highly professional, solid guys, and we completely trusted them with our home. If something wasn't done right (which invariably happens in every large project), they were usually the ones to identify it and make sure it was properly fixed. No arguments, and no headaches or stressful conversations that you might be used to having with a contractor. JRP seems to understand that this is the last thing you want to deal with. It's so refreshing. Finished Kitchen: Finally, we couldn't be happier with the final product. Our kitchen is amazing, and everyone who has seen it has been highly impressed. We plan to stay in our house for a while, and our new kitchen will make that time much more enjoyable. *** We have done several remodeling projects over the years, and we've worked with numerous contractors. We have never dealt with a better company than JRP. They might seem a bit pricier than some of their competitors, but that doesn't mean they are more expensive. That's because you are paying not only for the quality, but also for their professionalism and for your peace of mind. JRP is a one-stop shop, and they really delivered. We couldn't be happier with JRP.

I'll start with this: Hire Eileen Gould Design and Construction for all your remodeling projects…read more Years ago I saw Eileen win 2 episodes of the now long gone "Designer's Challenge" on HGTV and noted her contact information. She was local and most importantly a designer AND a contractor. I was pretty sure that would make the remodeling process pretty seamless. I was right. I, like everyone else, have heard the horror stories about contractors. No horror here! Just a professional and reliable experience. Friendly to boot! I told Eileen upfront, prior to hiring her, that I'm both very picky and want to be involved in the design. She pleasantly accepted all my feedback, changes, and sometimes issues. Eileen and her project manager, Kathy, were on top of things during my recent bathroom remodel. She and Kathy answered all of my many questions and were patient when I expressed some frustration. I will say that what made me the happiest was the communication as to when the sub-contractors would be arriving AND that either Eileen or Kathy would be there at the same time to ensure everything was on track. I was picky: pointing out some issues that were addressed immediately. Now that's good customer service. Krisie from Eileen's office was a delight to deal with and very professional. I'm so enjoying my newly remodeled bathroom and have been told it looks like a high end hotel bathroom and that it does! Thank you Eileen, Kathy, Krisie, and all the sub-contractors!

I'm not sure where to begin with positive superlatives about Eileen Gould. First of all, she's…read moreabsolutely amazing. She has twice the energy than I on my best day! From day one until the end, Eileen was available, supportive, honest, patient, and fair. I had lots of questions along the way and Eileen was always very responsive, even on weekends. When I told my friends what we were looking to do to our home and that we hired a contractor, the reaction they had was that their experience with remodeling was a nightmare. Well, they didn't know Eileen. This was the no-stress express. She handled EVERYTHING. This was completely stress-free for us. She hired all of the people and they were all amazing craftsmen, super nice and always accommodating. If, on rare occasion, we weren't happy with something, they came back right away and fixed the problem to our specifications. There were a few times when I needed a fixture or an item and I didn't want to go to the store to pick it out myself, so I said to Eileen, you pick it out, I trust your taste. I was never disappointed! She has excellent taste. With respect to price, if not for the things WE decided to add along the way and a few things that needed to be addressed that either weren't up to code in our home, or something that needed to be fixed, our project came in very close to budget. No issues there at all. If you or know someone who is looking for a contractor to work on their home, look no further than Eileen Gould. You won't be sorry.

Jo-Ann was one of many designers I reached out to, but she was the first to engage in a meaningful conversation. An appointment was set and Deidre came to my home for the initial consultation. She spent time getting to know me along with my likes and dislikes. The guidance and direction they provided was phenomenal. They both exude a calmness that helped make this all manageable.

The questions she asked me while in my new home made me think, and actually saved me money because she brought up a few things I would never have thought of and I ended up going in a different (better) direction. Her knowledge and experience, along with her kind and calm demeanor took a lot of my stress away as I was making these important decisions about my new (first) home!
