From email: "Text me pictures to _________" Dude got pretty upset that he wasn't asking the questions he needed to get me a quote and decided to make that my problem. "You're giving me just pieces all over the place. I got the photos now I need the address, name, phone email all in one text so I can give you a quote and pass it on to the tech." I'm not a linguist, but I'm pretty sure you could have just asked for all that in the first response. If you're into contractors with the conversational skills and organization of an angry 11 year old boy, he's your guy. PRO TIP: See the comment he posted below for further evidence of his wonderful communication skills!

We are so pleased with the results. It looks great! It has been a year since this project was…read morecompleted - I wanted to see how everything held up. Four other contractors assessed and quoted the project. Three quoted much lower (didn't actually address the problem), one higher (included rebuilding the our chimney?). First contact with Illinois Home Improvement/Best Brickmasters was Peter Zieba. His thorough knowledge of brick building structures and Chicago bungalows in particular filled us with confidence. Peter kept in contact daily (or every other day). He was easy to to find him via email or phone - no problems. His crew worked through some of the hottest weather in Aug-Sep 2013. In addition to their collective craftsmanship, they carefully removed and replaced our 6-foot, flower-filled window boxes (heavy and awkward). Our little bungalow is the house of our dreams. We wanted the best care and restoration we could afford. Illinois Home Improvement/Best Brickmasters provided that. Hire them for your project!

Be very cautious with IL Home Improvement. The owner, Eric, is professional, but will take your…read moremoney. I provided Eric with detailed architectural plans of a deck and mudroom addition, which were drawn by a professional. I received 3 quotes. Eric was the highest. I told him that we wanted to work with him, but that his cost was higher than his competitors. He said that he had been doing this for 30 years and had completed 100 projects like mine. His quotes were accurate, unlike his competitors who will raise their price during the project. I told Eric that we were willing to scale back our project to fit it within our budget, but needed him to tell us how we could adjust the quote. He said that he could look at the details, but would need $500 to cover the cost of producing an itemized quote (I received detailed quotes from the other contractors). When I met with him again, I very clearly communicated that the original price was over budget. He acknowledged my desire, and gave me his word that he would be within 5-10% of his original estimate. I reminded him (several times) that we would scale back our project to hit the budget. Eric's itemized quote came back 20% higher than the original, AND he removed several large items (finish carpentry, painting, electrical installation, tile installation, heated floor, electrical fixtures, exterior locks and hardware) from the quote that he led me to believe were in the original.* If you add all of these back into the quote, except for the finish carpentry and painting, his cost WENT up 40%. With the carpentry, it would have gone up even more. When I asked him why the big price increase, he didn't have a good reason. I asked him if he could get his cost down. He said he would cover the paint costs, and that I could change some materials and get rid of the mud room foundation, which would knock the costs down about 6-8%. In summary, this was a very frustrating experience. *In Eric's first quote, he wrote, "Having examined the drawings and the site for the project I hereby propose to furnish all labor, material, equipment, service and incidentals necessary to perform and complete the work for the project according to the drawings provided by (architect), dated 10/26/2016 (permit) and per Trade Descriptions outlined below. To be fair, I told Eric that I was thinking about doing the trim for our project to save money, and I may have another contractor do the electrical. It is possible that he misunderstood me and thought that I didn't want those costs included in his response; however, it is doubtful. Even so, his cost went up at a minimum 25%. I asked Eric for a refund. He would not give it.

I don't negotiate on my contract, and we are stretched pretty thin as it is right now. I wish you luck in finding the right person to complete your project." I wasn't even negotiating the contract, but rather asking for clarifications on line items. If a business wishes to turn down business because they are too stretched then don't send me a contract/proposal. Very unexpected.

I have been more than accommodating at every single step and now am being questioned 2 days after approval.

We started off with a consultation, me explaining what I need and what the expectations are for myself and the other homeowners in my condo association. Mike listened and provided an AMAZING quote with a payment schedule that was forward thinking because I was going to ask for a payment plan. When the team got started on the deck WOW they were awesome and made it look effortless. But prior to that, with the description that Mike provided he even laid out the plan of what I should expect and the milestones for payment, even estimated when the city would come out to inspect the deck and make sure that it is up to code. No surprises, well, besides the 7:30am construction time, LOL! BTW, our original deck was so old that spindles were falling off, the deck was pulling away from the building, our top floor residents were not able to use their decks due to missing planks, and the list goes on...Thank you JSitko Construction and if you were a company on Glassdoor that I could recommend you to other, I WOULD!
