This review is not about work as we were unable to hire Chicago Porch Experts…read more We called and someone came out to our house to review our screen in porch and go over work we wanted done. The person spent time going over the work and left, saying he would have quote in few days. Waited till end of the week and no quote. My wife reached out on Friday and was told they would work on the quote and have by Monday. Well this was few weeks ago and no response. I don't understand why you guys waste my wife's time looking at project, then don't follow up. If the job is not big enough just tell us, don't waste our time. I would say if you have big job they deem it is worth their time, give them a call, otherwise find contractor that actually wants to do the work.

I do NOT recommend hiring Chicago Porch Experts…read more I'm the president of a condo association for a 6-unit building; we have a three story deck for all six units. We recently hired Chicago Porch Experts by Emtrak Construction to redeck the third floor and then power wash and stain the entire porch. We had a terrible experience. The primary issue is with communication and organization. The actual work, primarily the redecking, is good, which is saving them from a one-star rating. But they lack the organizational skills to work on a project of this scope. I'm not going to list out every single incident, but there was a lot of miscommunication throughout the entire process that caused a ton of strife for the building. Lots of my emails went unanswered, and they refused to schedule anything, even when I'd ask for tentative dates, in favor of either showing up unannounced or only giving me 12 hours notice of when work would start. I have to give ample heads up to the building so that they can move their furniture and so that they know they won't have access to the deck for the day. Despite telling them this, Chicago Porch Experts would not/could not accommodate this. They tried to make things right, I'll give them credit for that, but it was not sufficient for the amount of issues created. Out of all the contractors I've worked with in my role as president, this is the worst of them by far. I don't recommend using Chicago Porch Experts if you're a condo association or anyone looking to have larger work done past simple decks for single family residences.

Four Seasons Design & Remodeling Proprietor Kurt & General Manager Kirk J Kusmiz…read more In 2003 we asked Kirk Kusmiz to design and build a sun-room which would replace our back deck. Today, it looks like the day he built it for us. If you decide to use Mr. Kusmiz to build a sun-room, you will find he is upstanding, meticulous, and scrupulously honest. He was patient and careful in everything he did. Being Marvin users, we asked him to use Marvin windows and doors, instead of the ones supplied by Four Seasons. He did that without a murmur. They hauled away the decking, and worked carefully around our existing plants. Of course, one must accept some wheelbarrow damage, but that was slight. In looking back over 13 years of fantastic pleasure we have had in this room, this addition was the wisest thing we have done. We spend winter looking at the birds eating at the feeders & at the Koi in the pond directly outside the sun-room and love to hear the snow slide off the roof like mini avalanches! This room has become the centerpiece of our home. First-time visitors exclaim delight and invariably make a bee-line for it. Old friends and neighbors, on the other hand, when they first saw it, felt it added a totally new dimension to our home.. The room is cozy in the winter and cool in the summer because we put in separate heating and cooling, instead of pulling it from our central AC/H. Do this definitely. Finally, we have to say Kirk is a gentleman, and responds graciously to the same treatment we would like to receive when dealing with others. He works at a pace which ensures the best in workmanship. He is eagle-eyed in seeing to every detail. In all the project managers we have encountered, he remains singularly at the top in all ways. We would recommend him without any hesitation.

A friend suggested Four seasons and we couldn't be happier. Kirk did an amazing job at a fair price. We love being able to sit outside in the bug free area or just leave the slider open for a cool breeze.

The attention to detail was outstanding -- the surface came out unbelievably smooth and even, setting up the perfect foundation for my new flooring. They also handled the installation of a new toilet and vanity, and both were done with precision and care. The team arrived on time, kept the workspace clean, and were extremely professional and courteous throughout the process. It's rare to find contractors who combine skill, efficiency, and great communication, but Alpha Two absolutely delivered on all fronts. I highly recommend Alpha Two Contractors to anyone looking for quality craftsmanship and a team that truly takes pride in their work. My bathroom looks brand new, and I'll definitely be calling them again for future projects!
