I wanted a bathroom remodel and some other work done so I contacted Norbac. Rick came out and…read morelooked at what I needed. I had a good feeling about him from the first meeting. To date he has done a full bathroom remodel, including shower, another bath spruce up, all new flooring throughout the house, painted the entire house and new counter tops. More to come as I have a few things in mind and Rick said, "No Problem". Rick and his crew did an amazing job. Helped me pick out a lot of the finishes and were the nicest, most polite and friendly people I could ask to work with. I won't use anyone else. The work was amazing and I can't say enough about them. All high quality materials and workmanship. I still think he undercharged me!! Every one of them is great. If you have any doubts, I'll let you come see the finished product. I can't say enough how happy I am to have met them. If you need anything done call Norbac, you'll thank me later.

This is my second project with Rick at Norbac Remodeling, and I'm very pleased with the results.

Rick exceeded my expectations as he used cedar rather than pressure treated lumber and trimmed the boards nicely at 45* angles rather then just cut them off on each end. Fine little details that make a difference and shows you the quality craftsmanship that are a part of all his projects. Rick and Norbac Remodeling are my go to guys for all my projects, big or small. They do great work for a fair price.

Our DJK Dream home was completed in October of 2024. Since then, we have enjoyed moving in,…read moredecorating and living a more relaxed life because of the amenities it provides. The process took over a year and the most stressful part of the process was cramming our Frenchie, my husband and I into an apartment during the construction. I think the best compliment I can give the team at DJK is that I was sad when the home was complete because we thoroughly enjoyed working with their team, their processes and watching the progress. In fact, if we could, we would start building another home with them right now! With the above said, we want to share a little of our story. I have lived in the Chicagoland area since August of 2012. One of my first memories upon house shopping around the West Highlands and Downtown Naperville were the giant signs on various construction fencing with large green letters - DJK. I instantly investigated with some desktop research and was tremendously impressed with their transparent and thorough information on their website, djkcustomhomes.com. Let's just say that that initial curiosity led to my early decision that when the time comes, I wanted to build a DJK home. In 2016 I purchased what I could afford in the West Highlands, a split level built in 1959 that had been flipped in the hastiest way possible. No problem, my goal was to live there until the roof gave out and then maybe I would be blessed with the means to knock it down and build the dream home I imagined. No way - that was probably just a pipe dream, right? Seven years later I found myself to be newlywedded and my husband and I were looking for a larger abode to combine our two households. We did our due diligence to be responsible and look for a house we didn't need to knock down, but nothing seemed to fit. Elated and nervous, my husband and I walked into the DJK model home in Downtown Naperville not really knowing what to expect. I am sure you can imagine feeling out of your league. Would the salesperson even talk to us, and would we be able to get anything close to our budget? Do not be intimidated when you walk into their model home showrooms. Meeting Shannon at the model home was like running into a long-lost part of the family. We were welcomed and felt like this dream was going to be possible. Our meetings with the other team members felt just the same. Why? They listened, were compassionate and didn't make us feel like our budget was ridiculously small or that the dream house we wanted to build was unattainable. When sitting down with Cassy, she had solutions, ideas, and the expertise to work with the vendors and trades to deliver what we envisioned. She and the rest of the team wanted to be as proud of our brand-new house as we were. COMMUNICATION is what needs to be emphasized with DJK custom homes, because they have mastered it. If there was something of concern that we noticed, our project manager, Mark, was on the case before we could even bring it up. We found DJK's website portal to be perfect for communications and we were never kept out of the loop. Please choose DJK custom homes for your building partner. We want them to be around to build our next home and many other family homes in the future. They are worth the money. You will come out a long and exciting process, relaxed and ready to enjoy your dream home.

Posting this so other homeowners in Naperville know how DJK Homes handles damage to neighboring…read moreproperties. During construction on the lot next to mine, their grading and equipment work damaged a section of my fence and 2 of the 4 mature trees along our shared lot line. I raised it early and I raised it politely. I was told it was weather-dependent, that the excavator understood the urgency, and that it would all be handled once the ground was graded and stabilized. The fence eventually got repaired -- but only after I chased them for it, repeatedly, over months. Nothing about it was voluntary. The trees were never addressed at all. Not repaired, not replaced, not even discussed in any serious way. Two mature trees damaged by their equipment, and the answer was silence. Meanwhile, they laid fresh mulch and sod across their own new construction. So the landscaping budget existed. The crews were on site. The work got done -- just not any of the work they owed a neighbor. That's the whole story. They finished their property and walked away from the damage they caused to mine. Mature trees take decades to replace. I asked for the same species at comparable size, which is what any reasonable person would expect if the situation were reversed, and I got nothing. If you own property adjacent to a DJK project: document everything from day one. Photos, dates, every text message. Assume nothing will happen unless you force it, because that has been my experience exactly. I'll update this post if they make it right. See less

Mark examined the step, took careful measurements, told us exactly what he would do, and quoted us a fair price. He completed the work with skill and precision in a timely manner, and cleaned any mess up before he left for the day. Now our once-dangerous step is safe to walk on again. We are so pleased with the result that we've already hired Mark for another backyard project. If you need a skilled craftsman who takes pride in his work and strives hard to satisfy his customers, Mark is the guy to call.

This is a story of a leaky shower. After literally years of hiring various well regarded plumbers…read moreand handymen to try to remedy it, it always leaked again - usually in less than a year. When mold showed through the ceiling of the room below the shower and the mold remediation contractor cut through the ceiling it was clear we needed to consider replacing the shower and much of the subfloor. Serious perusing of reviews on yelp led me to JRW. Just one phone call made me hopeful. First they re- grouted the shower pan/wall connection so it could be used until they had an opening in their schedule a few weeks away to replace the shower. Finally the big day came. Joel (the owner) sent me photos (it was a tenant occupied home) everyday and explained every step of the way what needed to be done and how much it would cost. He respected my decisions. He also picked out materials subject to my approval - and I always said yes because his choices were excellent as well as in budget. I had been concerned of the impact of a big project with workers in and out every day for a week or so on the tenants. I needn't have worried, the day after it was complete the tenant emailed me unsolicited and said that the workers did a great job: excellent workmanship, seemed trustworthy, respectful of the tenants and house, cleaned up everything and though they hope no more issues arise, they said if workers are ever needed there again they would hope it's the crew from JRW. Two small issues arose unrelated to this project (sticky door and gutter issue) and Joel took care of them for a minor charge. Most mom and pop landlords will tell you- the dreaded call from a tenant that something is broken causes you a few minutes of angst trying to figure out who to call to get it fixed. Now that I know about JRW, I won't feel that worry anymore.

At that time, they also repaired our ceiling which was damaged when our roof leaked. Earlier this year, they replaced a shower surround and kitchen sink. I recommend them!

Daniela and Raymond were the first people to understand and support my desire to both repair the house and preserve some of its original charm. I cannot believe the amount of work they were able to get done in just a few months. We originally hired them to do insulation and drywall, but we ended up letting them do the whole house. They finished the entire kitchen, bathrooms, windows, and trim in addition to drywall and insulation--they practically built this house. I cannot recommend them enough. As a woman who met with dozens of contractors, Daniela and Raymond were some of the only people who met me with patience, understanding, and enthusiasm.
