Tom Parker, owner of Advance Deck & Sunroom, was the most professional businessman with whom we…read morehave ever had the pleasure of working. We give him and his company 6 out of 5 stars for providing the highest quality of work w/top notch customer service & kindness. Prior to working with him, we researched several highly rated companies for our deck repair/remodel. He was the only one who responded within 24 hours and came out personally to our home to provide a bid (and a competitive one at that) within the week. He provided suggestions for our project without trying to upsell materials or unnecessary add-ons. He is one of only a few TrexPro specialists in Illinois, which was a high priority for us, knowing the unparalleled quality of the Trex brand. His anticipated start time for the project was exactly as predicted and he completed the work in record time. He and his team are highly skilled and show genuine care and pride in the quality of their final product. They even came back a day after the work was complete because it had rained, and they wanted to clean off any mud or leaves that had covered their work. We cannot say enough good things about their professionalism, skill and customer service. We will only work with Tom and his team for any similar work in the future. Thank you for such a beautiful addition to our home!

From the estimate forward, he did a great job communicating with us about pricing and process, and he offered a much more reasonable quote than many other contractors in central Illinois.

Our final invoice was right in line with our estimate and we felt that he was honest and straightforward with us throughout the remodel. He was also very considerate being in our home and maintaining masks/distancing during covid-19.

Yikes!!!! STAY AWAY FROM THIS CONTRACTOR…read more We contracted with them to do a very simple job of installing trim on our kitchen cabinets. However, when they were done they left a very large and unsightly gap at the top of the trim that was installed. I was told this was due to the unevenness of the counter tops. Normally, irregularities would be discovered and addressed when the field measurements are taken. But apparently there were some miscalculations, so we ended up with the gap. I offered to compromise and provide some additional trim to cover this gap in lieu of tearing out the newly installed trim and starting over. Unfortunately, when I brought this proposal to New Prairie Construction's attention, I was told it would cost me over $200.00 to repair their mistake. I'm unsure how this became my fault, but I'm very disappointed. In addition to the workmanship, we agreed to a not to exceed, time and materials contract. However when I got the bill, it was hundreds of dollars in excess of their original not to exceed limit. They eventually adjusted the bill, but it took several e-mails and discussions for then to own up to their mistake.

Jill and Julie are very customer-oriented and extremely competent. They helped us flesh out the basic design, which was a great start. Their crew did great work and the whole process was pleasant. My husband picked out all these non-standard fixtures but they adapted beautifully to do the correct engineering to make it all work. After the work was completed, we found one issue, which they came back right away and fixed for free. We look forward to working with them on our kitchen remodel this year.
