We hired Jerry and his crew to refresh our dated 90's bathroom and were impressed with his work along every step on the way: from planning to completion. He was able to replace tile, plumbing, electrical, paint, hardware and more in just under 8 days this past December. His pricing was fair and work turned out great! We're already planning our next project with Jerry we loved working with him so much. read more

He installed laminate flooring with a cork backing in my kitchen that wasn't the best choice for that room, and asked me to remove a negative review. The following contractor wouldn't have used this flooring for that room. read more

Jerry and his team just finished a master bathroom remodel for us. We chose Jerry because he was very interested in the details of the project. He asked many key questions, prompting us to consider things we had not thought of. He made suggestions that we'd have never come up with on our own. Was very organized, easy to get along with, and respectful of our home. read more

I would recommend Jerry to anyone that is looking to have work done in your home. He and his crewput in flooring, tiled a bathroom and laundry room, replaced my sliding glass door after finding the floor had rotted all the way through, and put all new trim around doors and floor. His work is wonderful and will let you know if something has to be changed regarding your project. He was very responsive when I was asking any questions. Went above and beyond to make sure everything turned out like I wanted. My home looks 1000 times better after the work was complete! read more

We have used Jerry in the past to help restore several floors damaged by weather events. He has always been on budget/estimate and the quality of his work is fantastic. He is genuinely "pickier" than we are in details and has raised our expectations of home improvement. This year we really needed to redo a bathroom/shower. Tear ours completely down and redo it all. We got an estimate with clear instructions of what we needed to shop for (so we would get proper colors and styles to our taste). He is busy, so he gave us a start date that was 60 days out and on that morning he showed up early with his team (family too). He also contacted prior to start to make sure we had properly got the items he instructed (tile and colors) and he also verified choices so he could purchase items like shower hardware etc. He did a FANTASTIC job, on budget and finishing on schedule. The quality and attention to detail (replaced the door hinges because they looked too worn for our new bathroom, no charge - just ONE example). Every time we use that room, it feels wonderfully new, and not just remodeled, it feels like we upgraded our home. Jerry thank you for an 11 out of 10. Will chat soon for our next project. He's the only person we consider for any work. The attached photos don't do this justice. read more

Jerry recently completed our fireplace surround, installation of a new mantle, closing off an old TV cabinet and installation of TV mount and soundbar, and some other touchups around the fireplace (flooring). This may not seem like a lot, but he is very meticulous so that every edge is perfectly aligned without odd cuts in the stone veneer. He completed the project in 5 days as originally estimated. We have used Jerry for 3 projects in the past 3 years and he will continue to be our go-to handy man for big and small renovations in our house. We love his work, work ethic, and fact that he sees the project through from start to finish. read more

As I mentioned in a previous post, I would be calling him again when I had another home project, this time an entire kitchen remodel. That's got to be the best compliment YELP readers are looking for... someone you can trust enough you will use them over and over. Jerry met with us to discuss our remodel early in 2021 so we could plan ahead, order cabinets etc, and begin June 1st. Overall, he and his team gutted the entire kitchen including removing wall tile that went to our 9ft ceiling, and took out all our main level flooring, carpet, and tile. They installed our new engineered hardwood in just a few days and then kept them covered for the duration of our remodel so they didn't get damaged. Our kitchen was a major renovation simply because we have some odd angles in our kitchen and purchased cabinets from Lakeland Building Supply that were ceiling height with crown molding. The end product looks amazing and we are so pleased with the professionalism and attention to detail of Jerry. Jerry is a delight to work with, a great communicator, pays attention, onsite everyday, and made sure we were happy with everything. We had some permit inspector difficulties due to updated Gurnee city codes, but Jerry addressed everyone of them so that we could pass inspection. Everyone who goes through a major remodel is always worried about their budget and unanticipated costs; Jerry was reasonable with all the adjustments needed and at times went out of his way to make sure the job was done right. Just one example is that during demolition, our ejector pump in the basement became unplugged because of all the banging. This resulted in a minor water seepage that he cleaned up excellently. He also installed a battery backup to that ejector pump so that if anything ever happened in the future, we wouldn't have similar issues. This is the attention to detail everyone needs. read more

Jerry is awesome. He's asked him to do a basement remodel at a lake house. We gave him our high-altitude vision and his mind just started to fill in the specifics. He's super creative - in coming up with ways to accomplish what we want, in making things better than we would have come up with on our own, and in solving the inevitable issues and surprises that come with a job like this (none of which were of Jerry's making - but every home has it's unexpected quirks).

We used Jerry for bathroom remodel. Great job, fair price, and as trustworthy as they come.

We called Jerry being in a pinch to quote completing the backsplash in our kitchen which was in the process to be remodeled. Timing was critical since we had a major event planned, and needed to complete our kitchen remodel with the backsplash being the last item that needed to be done. Jerry arrived and was professional, knowledgeable, and worked us through the final material selection and decisions, and scheduled the job within a few days. Upon his arrival he was well prepared and completed the job beautifully, on-schedule and within budget. While working on the backsplash he jumped in without hesitation and assisted us to troubleshoot an electrical switch issue that had nothing to do with the backsplash project. Bottom line is Jerry goes above and beyond, and worked on our house as if it was his own. Highly recommended!! read more

I can't say enough good things about Jerry. He took our old lousy bathroom with our busted shower and turned that room into a beautiful, relaxing oasis of peace and tranquility that I, frankly, never want to leave. Throughout the construction, Jerry was extremely professional and communicative and also provided lots of helpful suggestions in terms of bathroom layout and selection of fixtures and tiles. On top of all that, he and his talented team busted their butts to get the job done right before I was about to have a house full of people -- I really appreciated that. I would hire Jerry again in a HEARTBEAT and have already started recommending him to our family and friends. read more

I called and left a message for Jerry to discuss my flooring needs. He returned my call and informed me that he was quite busy with current projects but that he would provide me some dates and times of his availability to come out and provide me an estimate. He never provided me the information nor did he follow-up with me to simply state that he could not take on the job due to availability. I would not recommend him simply because it takes two seconds to let customers know that you cannot meet their needs. read more

I had a strange problem involving a bay window that extended out onto a brick patio, with rodents and water somehow getting into my basement. I wasn't sure how to solve this problem or where to start, but when I called Jerry, he listened to my problem and basically solved it over the phone, telling me about a kind of hard foam insulation I could use. I never met him or had to hire him, but I was so grateful that he answered his phone, listened to my problem, and immediately had a great solution- all for "free."
