We recently had Andres Roofing & Construction replace the roof on our classic Chicago two-flat, and…read moreI can't say enough good things about the entire experience. After speaking with three different companies, we chose Andres Roofing because Sergio was by far the most knowledgeable and transparent. He explained every detail about the job, including the materials they'd use, and ensured that everything would meet State Farm's requirements, which was a huge deal for us, as we were forced to replace our roof just to keep our insurance. Here's what was included: they installed 2 inches of insulation and a fully-adhered 60mil white energy-efficient TPO roof membrane from GAF EverGuard. They also swapped out our old gutter for a new 6" galvanized commercial-grade gutter, put in a new 5" round galvanized downspout, replaced two 8" roof vents, and installed a new wooden roof hatch. Everything was explained clearly, and we got to see photos and videos of every step, thanks to Sergio's drone and camera work. The project ended up costing a bit more than we planned--$28,553.50 in total--because once the old roof was off, they found 130 linear feet of rotted decking, three sheets of plywood that needed replacing, and 21 pieces of coping that were in bad shape. Sergio didn't just spring these costs on us; he showed us exactly what was wrong and explained why the extra work was needed. I really appreciated the honesty and the way he kept us in the loop. The crew was fantastic. They showed up early, brought their own portable restroom so they didn't have to come in and out of our building, and cleaned up every day (three truckloads of old roofing gone!). They were polite, respectful to our neighbors, and even helped someone carry a heavy item up the stairs--totally above and beyond. We also got all the paperwork up front--licenses, insurance, everything--which made us feel secure. Payment was straightforward: half up front, the rest when the job was done, and we got a detailed invoice. Best of all, we now have a 10-year warranty covering all labor and workmanship, so we know we're protected moving forward. If you own a traditional Chicago brick two-flat or need a commercial roof replacement, I can't recommend Andres Roofing & Construction enough. They made a stressful situation so much easier with their professionalism, communication, and quality of work. I'm genuinely grateful for how everything turned out.

I contacted Andres Roofing through Angi. They were one of several roofers that were sent my…read morerequest. Several of the roofers were extremely overpriced, but as a homeowner I wasn't aware until I received a reasonable price from Andres Roofing and Construction. I was contacted two days after my initial request from Angi's and they left a voice mail. I returned the voicemail and so Sergio arrived and provided a very reasonable quote for my home (899 sq. ft). I checked the BBB and they have an A+ rating as of this review. I checked all the reviews and all of them were very good so I decided to go with the financing they provided which is 12 months same as cash or a 5 yr low interest loan. All my responses with Mayra (receptionist/,project mgr) were all timely. After going back and forth with questions I pulled the trigger and decided on GAF Architecture Shingles. Unfortunately the supplier in the area didn't have that particular shingle so they recommended the CertainTeed Reshawk Shingle which is comparable. The tuckpointed my chimney and added a cap as well. Outstanding work! Needless to say I wasn't disappointed. They arrived on 9/29/23 to at 8:20 AM. They finished at 4:40 PM. Everything was done and completed without issues. The old roof was removed and replaced in 8 hours! After they were done, they cleaned up the area including the neighboring homes on both side. They were Professional, Competent and courteous. Absolutely a great job!!!

I hired A-1 PAM Plastering & Remodeling to perform drywall installation and paint work totaling…read moreover $7,000. Unfortunately, the experience was characterized by poor workmanship, incomplete repairs, and egregiously sloppy finishing. All of the labor was performed by a subcontractor, and at no point did the owner return to inspect the work. After initially claiming the work was complete, multiple significant issues remained unresolved. These included visible drywall seams, unpatched or poorly sanded corners, baseboards that were improperly cut and reinstalled, trim that was left broken and unpainted, dropped paint splotches left on flooring, doors, and fixtures, and a black door incorrectly repainted without consent. Furniture was also moved back against wet paint, causing damage. I gave the company *two additional opportunities* to correct these issues. Each time I was pressured to make full payment before the paint had even dried or a final walkthrough could be done. Despite these return visits, many problems remained completely unaddressed. At that point, I had lost confidence in their willingness and ability to complete the work properly. I ultimately accepted a 15% reduction (a $1,000 discount) from the total in order to bring the matter to a close. I now face the cost and hassle of hiring someone else to correct a long list of remaining problems that will certainly exceed the cost of the small discount. I would also like to point out that Yelp has filtered 17 reviews as "not recommended," which it has deemed less reliable, written by friends of the business, or sent from the same computer, compared to the reviews that made it through the filters. Combined with their poor work quality and intimidation tactics (see below), it leaves me questioning the legitimacy of many the other reviews. Worse yet, within minutes of posting this review, I received a call from the owner. Rather than take any responsibility, he began by sarcastically thanking me for the "nice review," then proceeded to yell, insult me, and claim it was unfair. I asked him whether he thought anything I had written was inaccurate or untrue. He did not say that it was. Instead, I was told that I shouldn't have posted it after we had "settled." That call reinforced everything I had already concluded about the company. My review is not about a disagreement over money--it's about warning others of the shoddy workmanship and unprofessional conduct I experienced. I cannot in good conscience recommend A-1 PAM for any home renovation work.

Tom of A-1 PAM was the second person to call me back and he came the following Monday morning with the owner Greg to see the space. They both took pictures and measurements, had some great suggestions, and we developed a layout. A-1 PAM was the first company to send me their proposal. I was super impressed by the level of detail. It was well thought-out, precise with materials and supplies checklists, and the cost was reasonable. Included with the proposal was a floorplan and computer-generated visuals of the vanity and linen cabinet. We signed with A-1 PAM and we are so happy we did! Tom helped me every step of the way via emails the month before actual construction began and continued to provide contacts, recommendations, and tons of information throughout the process. He was always immediately responsive to my numerous emails and texts. The work started February 17, 2020, and lasted 3 weeks. The 2 installers Peter and Adam came everyday, rain or shine, very punctually at 8 am and could not have been more polite and respectful of our space. They always cleaned up at the end of each day. The craftsmanship is phenomenal. Peter in particular amazed me with his carpentry and electrician skills. The end result is absolutely breathtaking especially the sliding shower doors and much needed storage/linen cabinet. The master bathroom has been transformed in ways I only dreamed of in the past. I go in everyday and can't believe how beautiful it turned out. The dream is real thanks to A-1 PAM. I wholeheartedly recommend Greg and his team and I will be contacting them again for future projects.
