Not long after I moved in, part of the stucco ceiling on the front porch crashed to the ground. I think it goes without saying that it was a revolting and unexpected development. I requested quotes from the usual North Shore/north suburban firms. I received mostly eye-watering quotes that seemed completely unreasonable to me as a commercial property manager and real estate broker. Insurance and industry estimates were around a third of what many of the quotes were. Lilian Touch came out and quickly drafted a quote. They respected my desire to do a patch since we are undecided regarding how long we intend to stay and what we ultimately want to do with the exterior. Once we decided, Rafael was able to get me on the schedule quickly and they were able to complete a stellar job in just two days. Rafael and Lilian were not the least expensive quote, but I felt entirely comfortable with their estimate and I trusted them to stand behind their craftsmanship. The repair looks amazing and blends in near-perfectly. Lilian Touch far exceeded my expectations and should we decide to move forward with the entire house or additional contract work, they will be our first phone call! Highly, highly recommended!

He's meticulous and does a fantastic job! He also cleans up extremely well, so nothing is left for us to do. We also loved that he moved the furniture and took care of the prepping for us. We are a busy family, with kids, so anything to help us with these projects is greatly appreciated. We love that he also educates us on process, and what to expect after, he answers all our questions, and is happy to help!

I reached out to the guys over at Marksmen Painting and explained what I wanted to keep and restore in my American Four Square. They patched and skimmed the old plaster in my foyer making it look like glass was installed. Talk about a tight finish. Along with my formal dining room, which they did a gorgeous 3' wainscot and restored the crown moulding, they hit it out of the park with all the accent colors I had picked. They were truly professional and transparent when it came to pricing. Highly recommend them to anyone looking to spruce up their home or take on a huge endeavor such as mine. Good job guys!!

After agreeing to an expensive contract price and approximate start time, which we were told would be in the first part of August (weather permitting), we mailed our $900 deposit June 27th. We are disappointed Mario Guerlin the owner did not keep us posted about our project and schedule. After a number of calls and emails he said our garage refinishing project would not be done until the first week in September. This time has past and once again we have not heard from him.Since he still has not started the project, we find it necessary to give him one star. Maybe this posting will motivate Mario??

As we planned, Brendan approached each decision thoughtfully, and he explained my options with an eye toward both cost and durability and advised me when I needed it. As he executed the work, he did a great and on time job. As we encountered additional needs, he was always ready to solve problems thoughtfully and flexed to address them. Throughout all of it, Brendan communicated consistently and in detail both on the phone/in person and in writing. I would highly recommend Brendan (and have). Having worked with a number of contractors over the years, for the first time I can say I'm excited to work with one again in the future.

I contacted Ray on a Sunday via Yelp and to my surprise, he replied within the hour and we made a plan to touch base on Monday. I told him what I needed, sent photos of the space, and he offered to have one of his team (David) come out to do the job that same week on Thursday! I couldn't believe the turn around. He offered a fair and very reasonable price for the entire job. Ray and David were prompt at the time they said they'd arrive. Ray pointed out yellowing in one of the bathroom ceilings and since I had the ceiling paint in the condo already, he offered to add this to the job without extra charge. David brought one other team member with him and they were exceptional. Very professional, super friendly, and clearly took significant pride in their work. David checked in with us periodically to make sure that everything was exactly to our specifications. He was even done an hour early! Ray came back at the end to make sure everything was good to go. I am so grateful for Ray and his team because now I can keep prepping for baby's arrival and not worry about these half finished bathrooms. Even for small projects like mine, I highly recommend Ray and his team!
