My wooden door with side windows had begun rotting away due to the rough Chicago winters and the…read moresalt being splashed against it for the past fifteen years. So I ordered a new one. Tom from TGM arrived the day after delivery of the door and frame. He removed the entire frame of the old door with side windows. The new door was one inch too tall, so he had to make it fit in. He then secured it, filled in the gaps with insulation to prevent drafts. He added the inside and outside trim. He painted the door on both sides and he even transferred the locks from the old door to the new door. He then attached a new steel frame door on the outside. He worked very hard for three full days on this project and he did an excellent job. I highly recommend him.

Overdue review of Andrew and Anla Construction here. I could not recommend a company more than I…read morerecommend Anla. From the quality of work, to the prices, to the reliability and timeliness of each interaction, Anla was top notch. We also trusted Andrew and team completely and frequently left them alone in our house while they worked on updating both of our upstairs bathrooms. When we had a miscommunication on paint colors, Andrew and team never questioned the outcome, they immediately came back over and repainted the bathroom. To top it off, I also asked Andrew if he could help me to notch out a portion of my basement ceiling to so I could fit something downstairs. This had nothing to do with my bathroom remodel, however Andrew immediately came over with his crew and helped do it at no cost. If you're looking for a remodel, I highly recommend Anla.

He is talented, helpful, and reliable. He showed up every morning on time and finished the projects a few days earlier than quoted. He is client focused.

I had a wonderful experience working with Andrew and I highly recommend Anla Construction for any of your home remodeling needs.

We were referred to Chris from a couple that had his company do their basement remodel and I have to say that our experience with them was fantastic as well. He and his partner Tom were detailed and professional in their proposal, spent time with me to ensure I understood the scope of work and the costs associated with it. They started the work on time, they showed up every day on time and never lost their patience with me when I had asked them to made modifications or to add additional items into the scope. Highly recommend this company!!

We have been wanting to move to downtown Naperville and out of our subdivision home for many years,…read morebut didn't want the burden of a stand alone house with all the yard work, snow removal and inability to just leave when we wanted to travel. Charleston Row I was the perfect concept...location, quality of construction, endless choices...truly a custom project. Each home is individual. No two are alike inside. We loved having the ability to choose each and every detail, guided by the Charleston team, and truly love the end result. From start to finish, the process was pretty painless. Starting with a design concept that we could tweak along the way, to the quality of materials used, it was evident we were all on the same page....to build a beautifully well built classic townhouse!

From our first meeting with Charleston Building and Development, we knew they were the right people to trust to build our new home. Charleston Building and Development is a family-run business - dad, Larry and sons, Erik and Adam Van Someren - who do quality work and are true to their word. With the help of their designer, Nicole, they made the daunting process of building a home doable. We had never built before, so we were a bit overwhelmed at first, but they took us step by step through the process, (almost) making it easy! Nicole is amazing and spent hours upon hours patiently helping us as we picked cabinets, countertops, tile flooring, paint colors, light fixtures, etc. Charleston Building and Development also has reliable and skilled people who they work with - electricians, plumbers, painters, cabinet makers, trim guys, etc. - they did beautiful work! We love our new home and we love the location near downtown Naperville. The building is beautiful and unique, thanks to the vision of the Van Somerens. We would, without any hesitation, recommend Charleston Building and Development to anyone planning to build. You will have a wonderful experience from start to finish!!!

As it turns out, after waiting for the cabinets to be built, one was almost four inches too short. The owner seems a bit surprised that we would want the cabinet remade in the right length. My biggest beef is that after the doors arrived (repainted beautifully) the owner did not intend to paint the areas of the older cabinets that were in view and those areas were a completely different color. He agreed to provide paint so that we could paint those areas ourselves, took full payment and never provided that paint. Consider using this very nice man to do your project, but do not pay in full until you are completely satisfied and the job is completely done.

Tony did absolutely amazing work on the kitchen and entryway of our home. These areas of the home…read morehadn't been updated since the house was built in 1987 (just look at the before pictures). Tony touched essentially every part of our kitchen and entryway: cabinets, countertops, flooring, painting walls, adding recessed lighting and under cabinet lighting, painting ceiling, relocating utilities, adding an island, painting a bay window and our front door, replacing our exterior back door and two closet doors, and then trim and baseboard for the whole first floor. Tony's attention to detail, affordability, cleanliness, and communication were all exceptional. He went above and beyond and never nickel and dimed us. We paid for him to paint our bay window, and he threw in painting our front door for free since he knew it would look great if it all matched. He also widened the doorway leading into the kitchen free of charge. Tony gave us a fair estimate upfront, was always on time, is an expert in his field, and is a true craftsman that take great pride in his work. There is very little that Tony cannot do. The materials are all of very high quality, and Tony gives great recommendations. The project could not have gone much better, from the planning stage all the way through the finishing touches. Seriously, just call Tony if you are looking to remodel. He came out the same day we called him a few months ago, and we never looked back. We will definitely be using him in the future for our other remodeling plans.

We hired Tony to remodel our kitchen.  His experience, pricing, and timeline were the key factors…read more  We also liked the fact that he's a 'one-stop shop'--the guy who sells to you is the same person who is going to execute the job end-to-end.  Our existing kitchen was previously done about 40 years ago, but the home itself is well over 100 years old.   One of the reasons we hired Tony was that he learned the trades himself working on such old homes, so we knew we would need that experience for our project. Tony and his team carefully stripped out all the existing cabinetry, and then staged it in our garage for Habitat for Humanity to come pick up (which they did...they took everything thanks to the job by Tony's team to keep all the antique cabinetry intact!).  When he stripped out part of our walls, he uncovered the need for additional electrical work to properly prepare the new kitchen, which in turn led to more drywall work.  He was able to promptly get an electrician onto the project.  His team went on to drywall, sand, and paint the kitchen to prepare it for the new cabinetry.   Tony had also designed the kitchen and placed the cabinetry orders in advance, which minimized delay although there were a couple swaps which we negotiated through the project as the bare kitchen revealed the true dimensions.  The Northpoint cabinetry which Tony uses is very high quality...real wood, made in the USA, built to last.  Our kitchen floors and walls were not always level/even, so he used his exceptional craftsman skills to find unique ways to ensure the ceiling, wall, and flooring would not prevent us from having our dream kitchen from floor to ceiling, wall to wall. His team members were excellent at implementing his plan.   While working in our house, we were impressed with Tony to the point where we asked his team to take on a couple other side projects (bathroom, painting) which his team was able to work into the existing timeline at a reasonable cost. Overall, this was a complex project with some unexpected hiccups along the way.   Tony absorbed the cost on some of the 'surprises', and in other cases he charged us for additional work.  I should also add that he fixed some other things in our house without charging us, just because he had all the tools/materials available and could quickly hammer things out.   I can't say enough about Tony's carpentry skills, and his constant drive to make things look as good as they can possibly be.   His craftsmanship is his standout trait, and the passion shows in his work.
