He has lots of great ideas and does all of the extras that really finish off the deck. It's beautiful! He also replaced my front porch railing, shutters and trim as well. Another great job and all the finishing touches look amazing. He has an eye for detail and kept me apprised of what he was doing and what was next. His pricing is more than fair and he knew ways to keep the cost down. He really updated everything and my house is in good shape to sell. He is very professional and works hard to keep the project on schedule. Thanks for everything Jarred!

Each shelf can hold substantial weight and it is really solid. Huge improvement. We also had broken bi-fold cabinet door hinge and the door had been off for months. I found Square Root Carpentry after doing a lot of searching online and the reviews looked good, so I gave Ken a call. Within a couple of weeks, we now have a fully functional corner cabinet. Ken also went above and beyond and tuned up all of our kitchen hinges so they are hanging straight. Could not be happier with the work. Highly recommend Square Root Carpentry.

One because the job was too difficult and not big enough to "make it worth the hassle" and the other whose flat roofer "ghosted" them during the pandemic and they couldn't find a replacement person. Vito was AMAZING!! Completely saved me and my home. He was empathetic to my situation, walked me through every step, and finished everything from start to finish in no time! (insurance claims, new roof replacement, new rooftop deck, windows AND interior!!) Was honest and didn't try to oversell but made great suggestions for upgrades that made sense. The work was impeccable! Finally no more leaks. I can't recommend them enough!

This review is not about work as we were unable to hire Chicago Porch Experts…read more We called and someone came out to our house to review our screen in porch and go over work we wanted done. The person spent time going over the work and left, saying he would have quote in few days. Waited till end of the week and no quote. My wife reached out on Friday and was told they would work on the quote and have by Monday. Well this was few weeks ago and no response. I don't understand why you guys waste my wife's time looking at project, then don't follow up. If the job is not big enough just tell us, don't waste our time. I would say if you have big job they deem it is worth their time, give them a call, otherwise find contractor that actually wants to do the work.

I do NOT recommend hiring Chicago Porch Experts…read more I'm the president of a condo association for a 6-unit building; we have a three story deck for all six units. We recently hired Chicago Porch Experts by Emtrak Construction to redeck the third floor and then power wash and stain the entire porch. We had a terrible experience. The primary issue is with communication and organization. The actual work, primarily the redecking, is good, which is saving them from a one-star rating. But they lack the organizational skills to work on a project of this scope. I'm not going to list out every single incident, but there was a lot of miscommunication throughout the entire process that caused a ton of strife for the building. Lots of my emails went unanswered, and they refused to schedule anything, even when I'd ask for tentative dates, in favor of either showing up unannounced or only giving me 12 hours notice of when work would start. I have to give ample heads up to the building so that they can move their furniture and so that they know they won't have access to the deck for the day. Despite telling them this, Chicago Porch Experts would not/could not accommodate this. They tried to make things right, I'll give them credit for that, but it was not sufficient for the amount of issues created. Out of all the contractors I've worked with in my role as president, this is the worst of them by far. I don't recommend using Chicago Porch Experts if you're a condo association or anyone looking to have larger work done past simple decks for single family residences.
