The price was right within my budget, and there were no unexpected surprises! The owner (John) is very involved in the process, and when the builders start the job, they don't play around!

The final product was better than I ever expected! I will be adding wind screens next, and I will definitely use these guys again!

Pawel came out and priced it our worst case scenario (as requested) to include the veneer and retaining wall. Once we started and saw the retaining wall was intact, he adjusted the price down accordingly. He communicated with me the entire way, giving his opinion and how it would look if we do it this way or that. He wasn't pushy at all, with the exception of the retaining wall adjustment, the price never changed. I've been in construction and facilities all my career, I had Zero issues with Pawel, never thought he was trying to take advantage of me and now have him redoing my back patio which is pavers.

I expected a better experience from Urban Rooftops after having a private terrace built in 2024…read more I invested in a fixed roof for an ~800 square foot terrace that included steel beams and formal permitting, etc. process. Spending ~$40,000 along the way, I would have expected Urban Rooftops to be more responsive and aligned to my project. There was an initial site visit from the project manager who designed my terrace however I don't recall him ever coming back post initial consultation. The lack of project management and execution is where my frustration lies. I don't believe the fit and finish of the project aligned with the proposal. I have beams that still have their measurement markings on them, a roof I can't access that is littered with their chemical / glue footprints and overall there are final steps I expected to be taken (i.e. clean up after yourselves and leave me with a finished product) that were not taken. I've requested multiple times to have the concerns addressed and have gotten no where (after 3+ months). All I've requested to date is to have someone clean the roof I can't get to where the crews' shoe prints are throughout. I thought they would have better pride of their end deliverable and interest to leave projects better than when they found them.

Highly recommend Chicago Porch Authority! We got several quotes and they were significantly less…read morethan the rest. We were able to upgrade to the higher end Trex and still pay less than what we would have paid with other companies using a lower tier Trex product. I was almost tempted to go with a more polished company with lots of samples and flyers on hand, but I'm so glad we didn't. Frank was incredibly easy to work with - very timely, communicative, friendly, helpful, and honest. He saved us money where he could and made sure we got exactly what we were looking for. Peter (foreman) and team were very professional, speedy, tidy, and meticulous. We uncovered a rotted support beam and a roofing issue during the deck rebuild, and Frank took care of all that as well with his roofer, and took care of the additional Trex materials that were needed after we uncovered the issues and added to the project. The extra unexpected work only took about an extra week or two to resolve. The team even poured some cement for us to fill in cracked stairs while they were pouring cement to secure the deck posts. All paperwork was handled professionally through their admin contact via email, and Frank was always accessible by phone or text if we had questions. We would definitely use them again and can't recommend them enough!

Arlington Heights, IL (Not San Francisco, CA)…read more Reds Custom (Brick) Pavers did a fantastic job on our front porch brick pavers after they had to be removed to fix a plumbing issue. "Red" removed all the pavers without damaging a single one. Then replaced all of them exactly as they were after the plumbing work was completed. In addition he removed all the sub standard support material (crumbling concrete slabs, dirt, clay & sand) and backfilled it all with a generous amount of the proper (crushed rock?) materials to properly support the pavers. The before and after pictures we took are identical because he is a master craftsman and a perfectionist when it comes to his work. Thank you Red for an incredible job at an affordable price.

Overall, we're happy with the quality of our new fence. The workmanship was good, the finished…read moreproduct looks great, and we felt the pricing for the fence itself was fair. Our only concerns were with communication and project management. Our signed contract included replacing the fence as well as demolishing and removing a concrete step. A few days after the project began, we were told the concrete removal would cost extra because the step was concrete. We didn't mind paying the additional cost--we understand unexpected situations can come up--but it was frustrating that this wasn't identified and communicated during the initial estimate or before the work started. The concrete step was identified on the day work began, and he mentioned the extra charge 3 days later. Once the fence was completed, we were asked for full payment even though the contracted work had not yet been finished. We ultimately agreed to pay the remaining balance because we didn't want to go back and forth. It also seemed like multiple jobs were being worked on at the same time, which delayed completion. We were told a jackhammer needed to be rented to complete the concrete removal, but it wasn't arranged until later, adding to the delay. Overall, we're pleased with the final product and the quality of the work. I would hire Danny again because the workmanship and pricing were good. However, I would make sure the contract had more detailed terms regarding change orders, payment milestones, and project completion timelines to avoid any misunderstandings. Better communication throughout the project would have made the experience much smoother.
