    a blue house with white trim
    Keri K.

    I cannot say enough great things about Chicagoland Builders. I got my 100 year old siding replaced with Hardie and wow wow WOW! is all i can say. The crew was amazing, cleaned up every day, worked their butts off and got the job done in 12 days. The siding looks amazing and i know it was all done right--Frank and Oscar made sure of that. The whole experience exceeded my expectations and i truly can't believe how well everything went. The owner Mike was very professional and helpful and makes great muffins and cookies. Truly, i never would have expected this big job to go as smoothly as it did. I now have neighbors jumping out of their cars and taking photos. It looks like a new house! Thanks Chicagoland Builders!!

    Hardie Siding Project

    Chicagoland Builders did an awesome job on the Hardie siding for our addition. Mike came to our house a few days after I called to give an estimate on the work. He outlined the entire process for us and followed up with a formal quote the same day. They were extremely easy to work with from start to finish and completed the project within the timeline provided. We are very pleased with the results and would highly recommend using them based on our experience.

    The gap between the brick and the trim

    Chicagoland builders inc were recommended to me by the James Hardie company but as I later found out, this company is not a James Hardie preferred contractor. The company came in with an aggressive quote and advised they were able to handle the project. I quickly realized I studied and had a greater knowledge when it came down to installing the product. Let's start from the beginning... -when installing the styrofoam insulation the workers failed to tape any of the joints and some of their cuts/craftsmanship looked as if they did not have a straight edge -next came the Hardie wrap (vapor barrier), the workers did not feel it was important to tape any rips and holes in the material. Furthermore, I had to explain the foreman and the owner the importance of overlapping the Hardie wrap over the trim flashings so the moisture collecting under the siding would exit onto the flashing vs inside the wall (btw the installation instructions were printed on the Hardie wrap)...this leads me to the debate I had with the owner about the condensation created between the difference of the exterior and the interior temperatures and the importance of the Hardie wrap. At one point the owner and the foreman told me James Hardie instructions were incorrect and the James Hardie customer service which I called multiple times were wrong as well. -in some areas the workers used starting strips to set the proper angle of the siding, in other areas the starting strips were not used which btw is a REQUIRED practice when installing James Hardie siding, causing loose planks in rows above. -the workers sided over dryer vents, over exhaust vents, failed to box out the exterior lighting, exterior outlets, and some of their caulking skills looked like were done by an unskilled 5 year old. -some of the gaps in the soffits and facials were over 2 inches wide, some of the planks and trim pieces were banged up and cracked by the workers who did not handle the materials with care (still installed damaged items) -most recently, had a contractor come in to do some interior drywall work, to my surprise I was notified that there was a leak along the chimney and siding joint. I was advised the Chicagoland Builders never caulked the gap (in some places over an inch wide) between the Hardie trim and the brick. My contractor pointed out an actual gap (exterior light and wind coming in) in my attic where the water was getting in, running down the wall, and damaging the drywall on the inside. I emailed the owner only not to get any response. I would not recommend Chicagoland builders to any of my family or friends. I would not recommend this company to a complete stranger. Terrible experience!!!

    I found JJ Construction through Yelp…read more I would highly recommend JJ Construction. They provided an honest quote. I actually went out and received 4 quotes. While JJ wasn't the lowest, they were the most comprehensive. For example, all of the other quotes quoted the shingles and work, but JJ Construction quoted shingles, tiles, gutters, and all hardware (new fans/vents/gutters). They are highly skilled. They did not rush the project (who wants a roofer who rushes?) and cleaned up every day. Communication was excellent. They installed Class 4 shingles, which lowered my home owners insurance by 20%. The work quality was top notch. I was highly impressed by JJ Construction and I would recommend them to anyone. Thank you Matt, for a great job.

They only use the OwensCorning Duration which is the only one I wanted because it's rated the best by Consumer Reports and many other reviewers. They have seasoned professional carpenters that showed up early and finished in one day. I can't recommend them enough. My wife and I are extremely grateful we found Jacek and Kacper on Yelp. Wonderful service, quality products at the best, fair, reasonable price.

Derrick helped me navigate a very challenging situation to rebuild the entire back wall of my home and attached deck due to water damage. Scope: New insulation, plywood sheathing, composite siding, soffit, and fascia for back wall. Replaced rim joist, headers, and other structural wood as needed from water damage. Re-installed windows and sliding glass door incorrectly installed by previous contractor. Rebuilt pressure treated wood deck with improved layout. Derrick's attention to detail and pride in his work translated to a solution that addressed all of my goals and helped me understand mistakes made by previous contractors. He spent hours reviewing options and brainstorming with me as more damage was uncovered and the scope had to expand as we went. Overall, could not be happier with my experience and would highly recommend.

I needed a contractor that will get the job done right and Im so glad that I hired Pulse. Derrick came out and measured the deck in minutes, provided samples and suggestions. I knew composite was the way to go so I don't have to worry about maintenance. Within an hour we had a plan. I had a hard time narrowing down colors but helped by offering his suggestions. The colors I picked were some newer options Trex released and Derrick said he was excited to see how it turns out. Derrick and Luke came out and when I watched them work I was highly impressed. They worked like machines; measuring and communicating like a good team should. Luke is clearly a highly skilled carpenter. I had an idea for angled steps and even though it's a bit complicated he took on the project and built some really cool stairs that make my deck unique. Their attention to detail really showed and they kept me informed of their progress through an app with daily updates in what was complete. Communication was top notch and thats important to me. Pulse wasn't the cheapest company, but the value was great. You get what you pay for and Im glad that I finally have a beautiful deck to enjoy. I only wish the rest of my house was as nice as it puts the rest of it to shame. If you're looking for a job done right call Pulse.

We had two condo units in our building update windows as well as two back hallway windows, and Jacob provided a highly competitive quote. He was kind and patient when we waited for other unit owners in the building to decide, and did not push us to move quicker or make a decision when we were not yet ready. Ordering windows took a few weeks and teams on install day moved swiftly and kept the area clean after! I also want to note that we live on the 3rd floor of a condo building and many contractors said they could not install and/or needed additional materials, external infrastructure and costs to do the project, but Jacob made it seamless with bringing windows up the stairs, and doing an internal install, which incurred no extra install costs. This was also great as it did not impact our neighbors and kept the project contained and clean. Jacob really cares about being transparent and has earned our trust, and I would 100% recommend him and his team to anyone looking to install new windows in their home. Overall, we really highly recommend Jacobs 1 Construction! I cannot say enough great things about the quality of their work, competitive pricing, and their dedication to their customers.

    PROFESSIONAL, QUALITY MATERIALS, QUICK, QUALITY WORK…read more We had our garage resided in Wedgewood gray. The company is family-owned. They are professional, provide quality materials and were quick in completing the job. The workmanship is high quality. Excellent. From the moment I contacted the company until the job was completed I was kept in the loop. As a woman they dealt directly with me. I was treated with respect, integrity and professionalism. The 3 gentlemen who worked on our garage did an excellent job. The job took 2-1/2 days. They worked very, very hard. At the end of each day they cleaned up everything. They never left a scrap of materials or trash in our backyard or front yard. They were very conscientious about cleaning up at the end of each day. We were informed this job would take 3 full days. They wrapped it up in 2.50 days. We were also informed the job would be started the week of Thanksgiving (Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday). Instead, they came 2 weeks earlier which worked out perfectly. We also appreciated having our garage done 2 weeks before Thanksgiving. They installed white facia, gutters and downspouts. They installed 2 new lights (which I purchased myself) at no extra cost. The trim around the window and doors looks fantastic. They installed plywood all around as well as Tyvek. We are very, very satisfied with the end result. I rarely give 5 star reviews on Yelp, but this company did an excellent job from beginning to end. They made it very easy. They were professional and courteous. We were kept in the loop at every step. Also, the price point was excellent (a bit over $5,000) -- compared to having a new garage built we saved over $3,500. The quality of materials and excellent quality workmanship coupled with excellent communication and professionalism are reasons I highly recommend this company. If you are in the market for having your home or garage resided (new vinyl siding which is maintenance free and high quality) contact A&D Home Improvement. I will post Pictures later.

I'm usually not one to spend time getting a bunch of quotes and just rely on Yelp reviews to make a purchasing decision, but this was pricey enough purchase that i figured I should do my due diligence.' Siding & Windows Group was one of the 4 companies I had come out for a quote. We ended up with them for a few reasons: - Their quote was competitive - They were able to spray paint the interior trim with our existing paint color - They were able to match the exterior trim as closely as possible to our windows outside - Anthony at Siding & Windows Group was very responsive We placed the order on August 22nd, which is my bday. I can't say new doors was what i wanted for my bday, but i guess this is being a homeowner in your 40s. The new doors weren't installed until November 6th and we just hoped for no big storms and got lucky. Anthony checked in a few times on when they'd be installed and pushed it back a few days due to other projects. The actual installation took about a day, which wasn't too bad. A week later they came to spray paint, which honestly seemed like a much bigger project than installing the doors. That took 2 days and went smoothly, although there was a little confusion about them not knowing what color to paint, etc. It turned out beautifully and while the doors look very similar to our old doors I like the look of these even better. The exterior finish isn't a perfect match, but i think a big part of that is our old paint on our windows as faded. One day we'll touch it all up, but for now we're looking forward to a break in paying for anything for the house. I learned there are a lot of companies in the area for new windows/doors, but we were satisfied with this one and would use them again.

It's a big purchase, but they made us feel confident in our decision by their actions, and we LOVE how the siding looks, and what it's doing for us since the install (Alside Ascend vinyl). We went ahead and replaced soffit, facia and even had new gutters formed and installed - and not once did they pressure us for those additional items. Just a great experience and we're so glad we went with SWG. Thanks!

He was responsive to my concerns re my previous gutters (mismatched colors, undersized downspouts, clogging, leaking, and continual upkeep). The owner saw that I needed a solution to an area where there was only one downspout for two levels of my roof, and added another downspout (one for upper; one for lower) and routed one downspout in another direction, per my request not to flood out my lower lying neighbor as previous). He was responsive to helping me attach loose pieces of vinyl on my siding and he had his crew even caulking and painting some trim for no extra charge to make sure my house is waterproof. When they came out to install everything, there were 8 men in the crew and the owner, and they were in and out, in 3 hours, with zero mess left behind. They even took a magnetic roller over my yard to make sure no loose nails were left. His crew made sure everything I wanted had been completed before leaving. They even did extras that I had never seen before like adding aluminium guards in particular areas like around the chimney to make sure the water is directed off the house. All in all, I'm very impressed! They definitely go above and beyond and there was no bill, until every last thing was done, and the owner returned and reinspected the job. When I gave the owner the payment, he went over each part of the gutter system to explain how it works and put in writing a workmanship guarantee of one year, and 20 years for parts. He told me to call if I wanted anything changed, since I had made a change to his original plan in one area. He was very flexible about telling me, if I wanted it to his original specs, just call and they'd change it. I'm excited about how beautiful my new functional gutters look on my home!! I'm continually admiring how pretty my house looks now. I can't wait until it rains!!
