Our new screen enclosure is a haven! We are out there every day, with 3 cats, music, twinkly lights…read moreand nature all around (bundled in layers with temps now dipping into the 30s). Affordable Screen and Patio Enclosures made our wish come true, something we thought was out of reach. After meeting with several contractors--so many design options, techo-features, price tiers to choose from--we sat down out on our deck with Dave Maloney and knew Affordable was our choice. It wasn't because of price, folksy sales-speak, flashy literature, big promises. It was because our gut told us: integrity, commitment to quality. That was our introduction. With each subsequent interaction, whether it was Affordable's Jen on the phone answering our questions, in-person with Dave at the Kenosha showroom, emails and banter with installation crew led by Eric and Dan on-site, every exchange reinforced that these people know their stuff. Any job is going to have its peculiarities and ours was no exception. When a hiccup arose with code, Affordable quickly resolved the matter. When something unexpected arose with the deck foundation, a creative solution was deployed and work continued uninterrupted. There may have been other wrinkles along the way, things homeowners are blind to, but this team is proactive and delivered to us a living space that feeds our soul after a long day at work. The crew was professional, friendly, respectful of our property--and our neighbor's. I've already recommended Affordable Screen and Patio enclosures to two people and will continue to sing their praises. Integrity. Commitment to quality. Thank you, Dave, Jen and team!

Work began in February 2026 and was halted by the building inspector on the second day of construction because Affordable had not gotten a building permit. although the contract had been signed back in November of 2025. Now it's May 2026 in the company has not made any of the corrections that were requested by the building inspector, nor has anyone from the company ever contacted me. All contact has been from me to them and only with the office person. I'm sitting here with an eye sore in the front of my house.

This experience was great from beginning to end! Joe, from Shading Solutions contacted me, we made…read morean appointment. He was accommodating with my schedule and showed up on time- actually early! We talked, he shared the history of the company (30 yrs in business, I remember correctly) and reviewed what we were hoping to replace- he showed me what Shading Solutions could do- measured, twice, and we were on our way. The date he told me to anticipate our awnings should be delivered and one week before, contacted me to say we are on schedule! The awnings were delivered and we set a date for installation. The day before, Kurt Lamothe, the installer, came to look at the awnings and to check out the job site, impressive! Not waiting for 'day of ' - being proactive shows professionalism ~ so appreciated in this day! The installers show up, again, professional and friendly and EARLY! Again, I was impressed because as they're installing, Joe, my sales guy, shows up just to make sure all is going well and that I was satisfied. He even texted me after to say there is a windy storm rolling in so make sure to roll up the awnings as they were just installed. The guys picked up all the wrappings and left not one piece behind. Oh- and the price was fair, no hard sell or upsell. Will post pics later ~ but we are VERY satisfied to find a company and people who are professional and are great at their jobs! Thanks Joe, Kurt, Kurt Jr and Cliff (?) I apologize if I got the name wrong!

At around 8:15am, I pulled up to my parents' house and no work was going on, but Daniel was there. He said he's going to have to leave this project for the next one due to the reason that he couldn't get the material for today. He said he could do it the following week, but needed a $1,000 down payment. I gave him a $1,000 deposit check, and he gave me a receipt. Wednesday, 10/30/24, at 10:26am: I called Daniel to check in about the driveway project, and that's when he informed me that he's too busy to do the job. I told him to just rip up the check. At 1:23pm: I texted Daniel, "I see you already cashed the $1,000 check. Please refund the money." Daniel texted, "yes of course tomorrow afternoon I will return them to you" I texted, "Thank you." Friday, 11/1/24, at 2:47pm: I texted Daniel, "Daniel, please refund the $1,000 I paid you for a deposit on my parents' driveway." "I need to pay a deposit to another contractor." I got no response. After a few more attempts to contact Daniel Villegas, he ghosted me and never refunded the $1,000. The registered address of this corporation is 1025 Shoreland Ct., Round Lake Beach, IL 60076.

They came once to repair it, never finished, and we've had a partially functioning pergola ever since. As we prepared to sell our home in 2025, we hired them to fix it for the new owners. After two service visits, the pergola went from half working to not working at all. They couldn't locate the wiring they had installed themselves and still billed us for both days. Never have we had a service come to our house, be completely unable to help, bill us, and leave it worse than before. When we asked (multiple times) to speak to Jacob, the owner, he refused to email us back, refused to call us back, refused to come out to fix what his guys left unusable, and said our emails were "less than friendly," even though they were perfectly polite and representative of a frustrated customer. I would be happy to share the emails with any potential customer. Overall, we found the company unreliable, unresponsive, and completely unprofessional. We would not recommend EDG (or Midwest Arbor) to anyone looking for lasting work or dependable customer service.

Jim Mueller is extremely knowledgeable about plants and has very good ideas about how to do landscaping, hardscaping and drainage projects. Many "designers" or "landscape architects" from fancier outfits in North Shore had to look up their iPad for information on obscure or native, but rarely used, plants and bushes. Jim seems to know everything about just about every plant imaginable for this area. Because it is a relatively small outfit, one has to get in line to get his or her work done. But, Jim and his crew do very good work. We are very happy with the outcome of the work that he did for our house over the course of 2 years.
