Everyone who works at the firm is either related or has worked there forever and they take extreme pride in their work. It shows when you visit one of their homes- they feel solid and you can tell the home is exceptional quality. Building a custom home is difficult and challenging but the team made it as seamless as possible. They were communicative, thoughtful and kind throughout the process. It's not cheap but you get what you pay for- which we appreciate greatly having come from a home where the builder cut corners. The team, software and tradespeople were best in class. The vendors they use are excellent and they are open to clients using their own. Our site superintendent was absolutely fantastic and ran the site like a tight ship- helping us deliver on our timeline even in the middle of a pandemic. We have been in our home for about a month and could not be more happy. A Perry has been over to fix any outstanding issues quickly. It's been a long process but well worth it. Happy to chat with anyone considering A Perry. I recommend them to everyone I know who is considering building a custom home.

Perry we contracted with them to finish our basement shortly after we moved in. The basement is now complete and we love it. Would highly recommend them for your build/renovation and would definitely use them again.

They found multiple investment properties for us, advised us regarding bidding strategy for the one we wanted, and stayed on stop of it even after the seller went with another buyer.

She has also been helpful in determining which renovations are essential, gauging optimal rent based on the current market and actually finding tenants for our vacant units.

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!!!

After interviewing many architectural firms, Bill was the only architect that asked us what we…read morewanted in our home and listened. That immediately impressed us. We knew what we wanted, we just did not know how to incorporate it in the existing home. We were not looking for an architect to control the entire project. We have been doing the general contracting on our own and Studio 21 was the perfect firm for us. They drew out the plans and submitted for permits once that was all approved we took off flying with it. We did run into a unforeseen bump on the road with the crawl space foundation where and an existing addition was done in the 1940's, three cinder blocks deep. Gregg was able to amend the blueprints for us to get us back up and running. We now have a 100% full basement instead of 5% crawl space for the addition that was existing. We have yet to finish our total gut rehab/addition but we could not have envisioned working with any other architect firm other than Studio 21. As busy as they are, they took the time to answer our questions and go above and beyond anything we could have imagined possible in our home. Words cannot express their attention to detail, knowledge and creative minds. Bill and Gregg did an excellent job. We cannot wait to move in and finally enjoy the home. Studio 21 can tailor the project for your needs. They can go as much as doing everything for you to letting you fly on your own. If you are looking for an architectural firm definitely add them to the list of the potential candidates. We highly recommend them.

As first-time home builders, we relied heavily on Henry's experience and insight into home design and building. All of the decisions and necessary considerations and selections can be overwhelming coming from previous limited condo finishing experiences, but Henry simplified that process and actually made the home building experience fun and exciting, as opposed to stressful and overwhelming. In addition to Henry's own creative and practical ideas, he also valued our input and enthusiastically accommodated our proposals when possible. We couldn't have been more pleased with our custom-built Coyle Construction Company home! Henry's attention to detail and constant home site supervision resulted in a beautiful, comfortable house we were proud to call home for 12 years. We were so happy with his original work that seven years after moving in, we rehired Henry to finish out our basement. Henry truly takes pride and cares about putting his name on every project he starts, and as a result our "lower level" was completed with the same top quality materials and workmanship of our original home. Just as important, the job was completed on schedule and with the utmost respect for our family's privacy and home life during the build out process. After 12 years in our first beautiful Coyle home, our family's needs changed and we wasted no time consulting with any other builders when we were ready to build again. We contacted Henry and he helped us find the perfect floor plan to fit our lifestyle needs and wants. We moved into our second Coyle Custom Home in July 2016 and are extremely happy with the upgrades in both finishes and technology, and extra efficiencies Henry was able to incorporate into our new home. Having now completed 3 major building projects with Henry and Kim, it's easy to highly recommend Coyle Construction Company to anyone considering building a custom home!

That said, I did feel that some of the pricing on upgrades ran a bit higher than expected, and like with any large build, certain trades contacts were stronger than others. The standout of the entire experience was our project manager, Andy. He was truly fantastic--responsive, proactive, and always willing to go the extra mile to make sure things were done right. Andy made what could have been a stressful process feel much smoother, and he was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. If you are considering building with DJK, I'd recommend them--especially knowing you'll be in great hands if you're lucky enough to have Andy as your project manager.
