Per Cook County Public Records, Custom Built Fence has been involved in a civil suit, with a Karen…read moreT (I am redacting the last name, but it matches the owner's name on the certified letter I was sent) listed as a representative of the business. Edit: to be clear, I am stating this as to why I believe the "Karen T." who contacted me through Yelp (who has no reviews but has posted oodles of photos to this business) is not a random stranger, and is, in fact, associated with the business. This means business employees contacting me after I asked they not. I'm not going to be snarky and point out that all the conversations between Jan and I were posted via screenshot, by me. Including Karen's unredacted email. I posted about my experience and added the facts so others may judge for themselves. I included unedited screen shots, Jan commented with edited copy/paste data. Use that to determine what you will. End edit. I am being contacted, again, after I requested they leave me alone. To Jan, Karen, and Custom Built Fence - I request that any further communication be through your lawyer (as stated in the letter). I refuse to allow you to intimidate me, and maybe you'd have been able to offer a reasonable fence repair estimate (under $23k) if you weren't wasting $7 to send me a certified letter threatening to sue me. Or maybe not.

I worked with Corey to replace my wooden deck that had seen better days. He came over to take…read moremeasurements, talk about what I wanted, and within the day gave me options to consider. Seeing both material samples as well as previous projects was super helpful in my decision making process, and I really appreciate Corey's quick response time and friendly demeanor. Daniel and Merrick who did the work were immaculate professionals. They worked quickly and cleanly, and they kept me informed of the progress along the way. I would highly recommend this team if you want a good deck built to last

Ken did a fantastic job. When I initially met with Ken, I had a very disorganized entry closet, a…read moregeneral idea, and a picture off the internet of what I thinking. From just the picture Ken came up with a plan and was able to design and build a custom entry bench and storage. After the initial meeting and design, Ken came back onsite a couple weeks later with most of the materials built out, and assembled and installed everything. Could not be happier with how everything turned out. He leveraged every bit of functional space, which we need with small children, and also made a beautiful entry piece. Ken was super professional, kept me updated along the way and clearly went over options or any ideas I had for changes. Will definitely use him again for future jobs.

Ken is very nice to work with, honest, and fair in pricing. He is very good at what he does and his craftsmanship is excellent. He took the time to understand the job and do it right. Hard to find a good contractor these days, and I was lucky to have found him. I will hire Ken again whenever I need custom woodwork done.

5/5 - Highly Recommend!…read more I had such a great experience with "His Hands " Handyman Mr Carlos Barbaro and couldn't be happier with the results! He helped me mount a stained-glass window I've been wanting to display and he handled it with so much care and precision. It looks absolutely perfect--secure, level, and beautifully showcased. He also installed two new toilets for me, and the whole process was seamless. He was professional, efficient, and clearly knew exactly what he was doing. Everything was cleaned up afterward, and he made sure I understood how everything work before he left. Reliable, friendly, reasonably priced and skilled--exactly what you want in a handyman. I'll definitely be calling him again for future projects! Highly recommend.

Ismael came out to do the free estimate and was super friendly and helpful. Tina was wonderful to work with and made the process smooth and easy by even getting the permit (at a fee but made everything easier). The crew took down our old fence and put up the new fence in one HOT day right before the 4th of July when they were supposed to come out the week after (which was a wonderful surprise and worked out great) and they did a fantastic job!! They cleaned up after themselves and cleaned up around the fence so it looked great. The main reason why I chose The North Fence was because the quote we received was very reasonable compared to the other companies we met. The other reason was because of the really good reviews and they held up to the reviews! Highly recommend!
