Michael's team built our garage in 2024 and we still get compliments. It's served us well and I still appreciate how he worked to make sure it would meet our needs. I'm posting a follow up review to share that Fisher Garages really stands by their work - We had a recent issue pop up and I was amazed and appreciate of how Michael and Sam were so responsive and helped us sort it out right away. read more

Fisher Garages did an absolutely outstanding job on my detached alley garage project, in every stage, from upfront planning, to demolition and hauling of my old garage and concrete, to pouring the new slab, carpentry and installation of the new structure, roofing, siding, gutters, trim, doors, window, opener, new electric service + 220V/60amp for an EV, and clean up. All materials and construction methods are top notch. Michael and his project manager, Sam, were nothing but responsive, thoughtful, respectful, and friendly, with excellent communication from start to completion. The personal touches and oversight made me feel confident that I made the right decision! And it didn't take long at all! I was thoroughly impressed with the various crews, who were insanely hard-working, professional, dedicated, experienced, and again fully respectful and friendly with me and my neighbors. I have never witnessed such a flawlessly smooth operation, and I have never been happier with a major residential project. I highly recommend Fisher Garages if you're in the market. And thank you, Michael, Sam, Konrad, and everyone else involved-- you guys should be very proud of the businesses you have built and the work you do -- truly excellent in every way! read more

My first interaction with Fisher Garages was late fall of 2022. My old garage door went off the hinges. I knew I needed a complete tear down and rebuild. Unfortunately it was near winter and no longer a good time. Thankfully Michael had his team (Sam) fix my door and it worked smoothly. I should add that the old garage door was a DIY hack job from the previous owner. That person purchased a door that was too big and manually cut it down. So the fix by Sam was an expert level miracle and I did not need a new door. The very next spring Michael and his team led by Sam were proactive in contacting me with dates for demo and rebuild of a 2.5 garage. Everything was timed perfectly so I was back parking in my new garage within 6 weeks. I hate to say it but as a woman, there are too many times that contractors try to take me for a ride, creating unnecessary stress and overthinking. From my first interaction with Michael I knew he was a man of integrity and it just felt right. He explained the entire process, materials being used, color options, etc in a way that was east to understand. I say this to say that sometimes contractors will just throw out a number with no explanation of what that includes. Details matter. I had several other estimates but when I got an estimate for Fisher Garages, I knew I could stop stressing. If you're looking for a good team with strong work ethic and people that take pride in their work, go with Fisher Garages. read more

We could not be happier that we went with Fisher Garages to build our new garage. Our lead manager, Sam, was very responsive to calls/emails and quick to get things done. Every group involved (architect, demo, concrete, framing/roofing/siding, electrical, and aluminum/gutters) was just top-notch. It was a pleasure to watch them work as you can easily see experience and skills come through. Sam's leadership led the group to finishing everything much earlier than we had expected. As with any large home renovation, it's hard to write that first check. But seeing a considerable improvement in quality-of-life for us, it's been very much worth it. read more

if I could give these guys a 0 review I would. Do yourself a favor and run the other way. Very unprofessional and full of lies. Only time he showed up was to collect a check other than that crickets. and now that I have problems all he says is I didn't say that I didn't promise that. Pathetic and unprofessional way to do business. read more

It was a real pleasure to work with Mike from start to finish. From the beginning Mike was flexible and worked to understand what we wanted and offered suggestions and feedback along the way. From the permit process to the inspection, everything was handled with class. All of the tradesmen were high quality and I am impressed with their work. We had a minor issue a few months after the project was completed and Mike was super responsive to make sure the job was done right. It's comforting to have someone who stands behind their work like that. At the end of the day, I have a garage I can be proud of! read more

Fisher Garages did an excellent job putting in my new garage. Michael Fisher does an excellent job of starting the process following up every step of the way I was informed of when the process would begin and who was going to show up and what was required when they got there he showed up at each stage of the installation to ensure everybody was on board and was there in the end to confirm that everything was completed to my liking. I would recommend him to anybody who is looking to install a quality garage at a reasonable price, and I certainly would come to him again if I ever had the need for another garage read more

Michael was such a welcome change from the other garage builders we spoke to, as all the others seemed like their plan was just to get inside your house open their giant binder, talk through the design elements for each and every aspect of the garage (do you really need to know the shingle color when we just met?), and then finish up with a giant price tag. Michael was always very upfront, honest, and open to discussing options with my wife and I. When it came time for the work, his team was professional and did a fantastic job. We'd highly recommend Fisher Garages to anyone interested in a new garage in the Chicagoland area. read more

When my husband and I first met with Michael Fisher he told us he loves garages. I thought he was kidding, but he was completely serious! Michael is passionate about making sure his customers get exactly the garage they want and need. Buying a new garage is a big financial commitment, so when it became clear we had to build a new garage, I wanted it to be something we'd enjoy for many years. My dream was to have a little patio built on the back of the garage. Other builders either couldn't provide a patio (because they don't like to do something custom as it takes too much time), or they told me that wasn't what I really wanted! Michael listened to our wish list for our new garage and made it a reality! He was extremely responsive whenever we had questions and the crews he uses are professional and top notch! Michael even included the removal of an ugly old tree stump on the property line between our yard and our neighbors. It's such a relief to have that problem taken care of so that nothing detracts from our charming new garage. If I had to choose one word to describe Fisher Garages, I would say: Professional. My husband and I love our new garage and recommend Fisher Garages without hesitation. read more

Contracted a new 1-car garage with Fisher Garages after talking with several companies, including some of the 'big guys' in Chicago-area garages. Michael presented me with a garage plan that was better than the competition, because he listened to our needs and was willing to customize the build to our site. The price was modestly more than other quotes, but the quality of materials and finishes was worth it. Michael kept in contact throughout construction and was always responsive. Highly recommended! read more

Michael came highly recommended by our neighbor and he didn't disappoint.  We hired him to demo our old garage and build a new one.  He spent a lot of time helping us understand our options and think about different ways to build storage into our garage so it would function exactly as we needed it to. We were very impressed with all the subcontractors he works with and, outside of some weather related delays, it came together quickly and the steps to get there were well-planned. read more

We had a great experience! Michael Fisher was wonderful to work with, and we got a top notch garage out of it! He gave us guidance when we asked for it, and he was willing to negotiate a price when we got a lower price elsewhere. We definitely recommend Fisher Garages! read more

Fisher Garages was a pleasure to do business with. From demolishing our existing garage to building and wiring a new one they were on top of the process. There are a lot of details involved - permits, new concrete foundation, etc., and it was nice to have a contractor who kept me posted every step of the way. His price was fair but I've always been guided by the saying "The bitter taste of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of low price has been forgotten". That saying definitely applies to Fisher Garages. read more

My husband and I were originally looking to have a garage built with roof deck, but after multiple calls to many companies, Mike was the only one to take the time to explain why garages with roof decks aren't really built anymore in the city of Chicago. We chose to move forward regardless, as a new garage was needed. It was easy to schedule an appointment with Mike. The best part was-EVERY step of the process was done with or through Mike. This meant- for the estimate, it was Mike that came out. The main point of contact- was Mike. Any contractor that was coming out- we would hear about it from Mike and Mike would come out every day that a contractor was working. This made the process SO much more personable and enjoyable. We appreciate how much Mike was willing to work with us. My husband is a civil engineer and VERY particular- Mike took on the challenge in great stride and was eager to listen to my husband's concerns or comments. Throughout every step of the process, my husband could call Mike and discuss any concerns and Mike would happily come out to chat with him and rectify any situation to cater to my husband's many specific requirements. Finally, we had a very short time frame to complete the project and Mike was phenomenal at making sure everything stayed on schedule and was completed in a timely fashion. We now have a beautiful new garage that we can enjoy thanks to Mike at Fisher Garages. read more
