Rafal 9 (Dream Home Owner ) has done several projects for us. Having worked with multiple…read morecontractors over the years, I can say he is the most honest, caring, thorough and professional one I have met. That is why we continue to use him and also consistently refer him to our friends. His communication exceeds his peers. From small projects to full kitchen remodels, he should be the one you call. His crew shows up on time daily, works hard and they do an excellent job of keeping the worksite clean. Any problem that arises, he calmly addresses it without any issues. If you have any project in the northwest or western burbs, Rafal and Dream Home Services should be your first call. Would be happy to speak to anyone who would want more info.

We were living in our basement during the gut rehab of our 100+ year old home second floor and our experience with Nick (Olympic Builders) was not what we expected. He was great. On time, on budget, courteous to our privacy and just a truly nice, family man. He worked well with our architect and had a solid team. He inspected the site daily and redirected his team if he was not happy with their progress for the day. I could not ask for a better experience.

The only silver lining in this pandemic has been the ability to work from home. This has allowed us…read moreto be present to get some much-needed work done on our house in preparation to sell it next year. That is where Uncle Nick's Construction comes into the picture. Nick took the time to help us ensure our upgrades would maximize the return on our investment. Once the kitchen and the bathrooms were completed, we even considered staying in the house because of the quality of the work. The upgrades definitely added value, and the cost was fair for the amount of work done. In short, I would not hesitate to recommend Uncle Nick's Construction to homeowners and landlords who want a construction contractor.

We bid to several builders , and John was the most responsive and professional by far . From start to finish he was very easy to work with, responsive, and has a foreman named Abe who is awesome . He was very transparent on things I wanted that he thought either wouldn't look great (he was right !) or would compromise other parts of the house . He even had the crew build a small house for our kids under the basement stairs which they are obsessed with . Timeline was almost spot on to what he had originally told us . I always hear of nightmares with building/builders , but truly from start to finish I had a great experience with John and would do it again.

Jim Gracia and his whole team were such a pleasure to work with. Jim is so professional and thinks…read moreof everything. He has remodeled a ton of kitchens, so he foresees most issues before they arise. He had a great relationship with our kitchen designer (Kitchen Design Partners - Nancy Jacobson), so the entire process was painless and often didn't require much effort on my part. Jim is also creative - he came up with the perfect solution to fix a weird nook that resulted from some demolition work. Jim was very quick to respond to any questions, and always made me aware of the work schedule. Jim's estimate broke everything down nicely allowing us to see how much some extra work would cost so that my wife and I could decide to move forward with some projects and forego others that were outside our budget. But most importantly everything looks amazing. The picture says more than I ever could. I will definitely work with Jim again in the future for any remodeling needs.

Update 7/18/23: B quality, D service and A+ (premium) pricing. We were given several promises and…read more"no, problem, we can do that" sort of talk, and later on as the project went on and invoices were paid (we always paid on time), some of those promises were magically no longer possible. We paid on time, always, but timelines by Jim were not kept. I do not mean timelines related to supply chain issues or them being busy....we totally understood that. What I mean is that he would say he would call/text at a certain day or time and we would never hear back. Sometimes it would take a MONTH to hear (no joke), it would take a MONTH to get an invoice. It took from June to November to address our punch list which just took 1.5 days of actual work on site. Most of the work was great and good quality, and they clean up after themselves well every day. However, some of the subcontractors would lean materials against newly painted walls and they did leave pizza boxes lying around and fast food containers at times when they left for the day. As the project came to a close, the response time was longer and longer. There's no excuse for it, but I think I would use them again as the work is good, as long as you are very patient when you don't hear back as promised. Also, we had our cabinets repainted and the subcontractor had to touch them up after we noticed several unpainted areas. Since the project we have also noticed that they did not move the refrigerator to paint the walls next to the refrigerator and you can see if you stand in front of the refrigerator the old paint color next to the new paint color on the wall. I will have to have someone to come in and fix that. Additionally, the tiles in the bathroom were installed with bubbles in the caulk. They did fix that. Jim also told me they could not remove the rust from the door hinges on the doors of the bathrooms without taking the doors off the hinges, and that it would be a huge undertaking. Since then, we've had the building superintendent take a look, and he was able to remove the rest from the door hinges in a couple of hours without removing the doors. Cost me $150. Easy. ***UPDATE: I would not use this company again. Jim told me point blank at the initial meeting they could move a thermostat from the middle of a wall (eye sore) to the corner so I could have a cleaner look. This was something I expressed wanted and was told it was no problem. After the contracts are signed, and after invoice after invoice was paid on time, I would bring up the thermostat being moved, and it was always pushed to the side in the conversation. Eventually, I was told by Jim that it would be too expensive to do and far too difficult. In the end, the thermostat stayed in the same location and they replaced it with a new thermostat of their choosing. The thermostat they chose and installed has poor reviews online. The thermostat has not been giving accurate readings since April and we reached out to some HVAC companies about coming by to check it out. Three companies came and all said our HVAC system was fine, but the new thermostat Jim installed was faulty and was the problem. There was no way for us to get an accurate reading. I texted Jim the situation and told him that the HVAC company we trusted and we have used before was on site and was willing to install a new thermostat including labor for $300. He texted me back saying that he was at a sporting event in WI and would call me as soon as he could. In my text, I asked him how he would like me to proceed, and if I should have the new thermostat installed since the HVAC guy was already here and if they would reimburse me or if they wanted to come by and replace it later. I never heard back from Jim, ever. Not a peep. So unprofessional. I have passed along his information to 3 designers as I'm in the industry. This is not how you treat customers. The HVAC company came back days later and installed a new thermostat - now everything is fine. I paid for this out of pocket. Still, nothing from Jim.

I wanted a new patio installed, the landing of my back porch replaced (which had broken off and left a hole) and extended to match the patio, the corner of the foundation patched, the front sidewalk slab replaced (that had broken away from the front porch and broken in half), and a hole in my front porch sealed so that the critters would stop using it as nest. My new patio is amazing - better than I could have imagined! The holes in my porch (front and back) are now sealed, I don't have to look at the missing foundation corner, and I don't have to worry about critters any more. :) I am VERY pleased with the work!
