The Good: There were responsive in providing an estimate to take my money. The Bad: Basically everything else. The work was obviously sub-par given that grout is failing after only 9 months. The project started 2 weeks after estimated start date and finished 8 weeks after the estimated finish date. In fairness to the contractor, the building engineer caused 3 weeks of the finish time delay. At the final inspection we created a checklist of 6-8 items that needed correction (damaged paint, poor drywall work, damaged glass on the shower door, etc.). The next final inspection corrected 5 of the items and caused 2 new items worth of damage. Rinse and Repeat at least 2 more times.

He appeared extremely professional, came into the unit to give estimate with a clipboard. Asked me what I wanted and then it went all downhill. It was quite an extensive amount of work that needed to be done. He immediately starting questioning my funding in front of the seller. It got so bad I had to say, We can discuss your financial concerns, but the seller doesn't need to be privy to this level of my business. We leave out and he seems ok again, just wanted to be sure I could get the funding. I'm like no problem can you put the bid in tonight. He says ok. I call him the next morning because the bid hasn't been submitted and he is like Oh I was really busy yesterday. Ill TRY to get to it by the end of the day. Again he did not, After a week goes by. I ask do you want this job... He says to be honest I would have passed if I knew it was all this work that needed to be done. At that point I was done. We no longer need to communicate.

My remodel project began several months ago with an idea I had to turn my laundry area from an eye-sore to a clean open space. My first thoughts were to have a barn door installed to enclose the entire area. But as I played around with various room design apps, I realized a barn door would close off a lot of space. Once I created a general image via image editing apps, I sent out several requests for quotes on Yelp. Many of the requests wanted me to call them so they could come give me a quote. None of them gave me much to go on unless I would agree to an appointment. From the beginning, Matt was different. He was personable and asked additional questions to be able to answer my questions the best he could without me having to commit to a future appointment. He responded immediately and offered a few options for me regarding next steps. He was very knowledgeable and did not have a pushy approach. For these reasons, I decided to move forward with Vision Remodelers. After I had Matt come by to give me a more accurate quote other than him just going by the image I created, I hired Matt to begin this project. Matt and his crew were exceptional while they completed my remodel. They were professional, polite, & timely. His workers even took the time to have my spoiled, skittish dog warm up to them! My only regret is that I didn't meet Matt & team months before to do all my home projects/renovations! With the utmost confidence, I would gladly recommend Vision Remodelers for any home project! This company is a 5-star company across the board!!

The scope of our project included redoing all siding, re-design of main entrance, changing windows, painting inside, and fixing ceilings since we also updated lights in the house, and removing all big bushes in front and back yard. All was done in around 4 weeks (which was less than planned) with multiple teams working at the same time, but all coordinated for not affecting other team's work. Everything was within planned budget, which gave us margin to solve couple issues found during the project since this is an old house. Nelson was with us the entire team, giving lots of ideas about the design, and materials to use considering our personal taste, preferences, and budget. He always kept a straight and open communication and we always felt protected, and didn't have to deal directly with other contractors involved. The result was just amazing and we highly recommend. Thanks Sonin!

If I could give Nelson 0 stars I would. I typically don't write reviews but this man is pretty…read moremuch a scammer. He was pretty pleasant through contract signing for completing a basement with laundry room, bedroom, bathroom, family room & kitchenette. We were told the process would take 4 months. It took 8 with many days of him and his crew just not showing up. If you questioned him on anything he did, he would just not show for a while. He literally cut a 2 x5' hole in my upstairs family room hard wood without discussing it with me ahead of time to make headroom for the stairs. We are now a few years down the road from his work and paying over $10K to have the leaking shower totally torn out and redone. The new contractor discovered all the short cuts Nelson took from not overlapping the membrane, screwing holes through the membrane, not using treated wood, not even gluing in the quartz window ledge. We also discovered after the fact that he installed PVC for our dryer vent (which is not code). ABT will not hook up a new dryer until we get that replaced which will involve ripping out another wall. Our ventilation in the basement was not done properly either and have paid over $1,000 to try to remedy that but haven't been able to fully resolve the issues. These are just a couple of the major things but there is definitely more. We would have been happy to pay more to NOT deal with all of the headaches Nelson caused. Save yourself the hassle and find another contractor.

We hired George and his team for a full renovation, and the experience was completely different from any contractor we've worked with before. From the start, he approached the project with a clear plan, realistic budgeting, and a structured preconstruction phase that helped us understand exactly what we were getting into before any work began. What stood out most was the level of organization and communication. Every decision was explained, timelines were clear, and we always knew what the next step was. There were no surprises, no guesswork, and no disappearing acts--just steady, professional progress. The craftsmanship was excellent, but more importantly, the process felt controlled and thoughtful from beginning to end. George was on site, involved, and detail-oriented. He treated our home with respect and made sure everything was done the right way, not just the fast way.

Guided us to help make the best decisions for ourselves throughout the renovation of our home in Lakeview. Never once did I feel as if my project and my needs were not prioritized. When I called, George always answered. No matter how many questions I had for him he never allowed us to feel as if we were out of line. His approach on site began with direct oversight which lasted consecutively until the completion of the our renovation. He managed the material/equipment logistics within our building, cooperating with building management, and inspected his team's work daily. He ensured that the overall environment was always clean and organized. They came up with a plan and worked their plan to a successful finish. I came home one day to a completely transformed space of new paint colors, kitchen, bathrooms, ceilings, and flooring. Lastly, I have to mention that George was driven by the vision we all came up with and executed it with our own personalized intentions- top of mind. Thank you George and team! You guys rock!

Our experience was so positive, we will never work with any other contractor! Project One: restoration and rehab of a significant National and Chicago landmark: The Krause Music Store in Chicago, Louis Sullivan's last commission. Jake inspired trust and confidence in us from the beginning, patiently and thoughtfully answering all our questions. The project was barely 1% over budget, that too mainly because of changes we requested. This project won several awards, in no small part due to GGC's flawless execution: AIA, Dreihaus Foundation/ Landmarks Preservation etc. Was published in Architectural Record, The Tribune, on WBEZ, etc. Project Two: We loved working with GGC and the architects so much, 5 years later we hired the same team to design and build us a new contemporary home. This meticulously designed and constructed home gives us such pleasure and joy daily. Even today we turn to Jake/GGC for references and advice on any resources and maintenance questions. He has never failed us yet, however busy he is!! He even recalls all the constructions details, all the subs who worked on these older projects. Thats completely invaluable to us. Its not the norm to have a literate, communicative contractor who sticks to a budget and schedule. We consider ourselves fortunate to work with Jake Goldberg/GGC after hearing of other hellish contractor stories. There was complete lack of any conflict in the whole process. Freddy and Jason GGC are the most amazing foremen, we had complete trust an enjoyed working with them. Hard working, going above and beyond to produce a stellar product and maintaining a super relationship with their client [us]. Some of the words we'd use to describe Jake/GGC are: ethical; experienced in quality construction; provides a super high quality and solid product; quality conscious; fair minded; impeccable aesthetics; resourceful; adherence to a schedule; great honest skilled subs; value driven; calm and calming. We recommend them unreservedly. Working with this stellar company on our next project is a no-brainer!
