After interviewing many architectural firms, Bill was the only architect that asked us what we…read morewanted in our home and listened. That immediately impressed us. We knew what we wanted, we just did not know how to incorporate it in the existing home. We were not looking for an architect to control the entire project. We have been doing the general contracting on our own and Studio 21 was the perfect firm for us. They drew out the plans and submitted for permits once that was all approved we took off flying with it. We did run into a unforeseen bump on the road with the crawl space foundation where and an existing addition was done in the 1940's, three cinder blocks deep. Gregg was able to amend the blueprints for us to get us back up and running. We now have a 100% full basement instead of 5% crawl space for the addition that was existing. We have yet to finish our total gut rehab/addition but we could not have envisioned working with any other architect firm other than Studio 21. As busy as they are, they took the time to answer our questions and go above and beyond anything we could have imagined possible in our home. Words cannot express their attention to detail, knowledge and creative minds. Bill and Gregg did an excellent job. We cannot wait to move in and finally enjoy the home. Studio 21 can tailor the project for your needs. They can go as much as doing everything for you to letting you fly on your own. If you are looking for an architectural firm definitely add them to the list of the potential candidates. We highly recommend them.

After a pretty lengthy search we finally decided on A. Perry to build our forever home. From the…read moreinitial meeting with Anthony to the preliminary design to the build and the ultimate move-in we were very happy with the entire experience. They were very responsive, had every base covered, made sure we were kept current on progress and, most importantly, provided us with peace-of-mind. We were so happy with A. Perry we contracted with them to finish our basement shortly after we moved in. The basement is now complete and we love it. Would highly recommend them for your build/renovation and would definitely use them again.

We were in London when Martins did the rennovations on our home. We didn't know exactly what we…read morewere coming back to. We opened the door . . . and walked into paradise. We felt like we were in someone else's home. Someone who had a lot more money than us! Martins isn't just a builder, or a designer. He's an artist. When you bring someone into your home to change it forever, you have to trust that person. When Martins came by for our first free consultation (something other people had charged us for), he stayed for two hours. He wanted to get to know us, and figure out exactly what kind of home we wanted. To say he cares about his work is an understatement! Other people we looked at charged us for that first visit, came in, took measurements, were out in 30 minutes, and then provided some cookie-cutter recommendations. Besides his off-the-charts talent, he is honest, flexible, responsive and easy and fun to work with... not to mention reasonable. He even provided us with guidance and recommendations to bring the overall costs down. If you're looking to do renovations on your home, that not only are beautiful, but also unique and specific to you and your family, your search is over. Martins Buka will not only deliver, but exceed your expectations!

Charleston Row I was the perfect concept...location, quality of construction, endless choices...truly a custom project. Each home is individual. No two are alike inside. We loved having the ability to choose each and every detail, guided by the Charleston team, and truly love the end result. From start to finish, the process was pretty painless. Starting with a design concept that we could tweak along the way, to the quality of materials used, it was evident we were all on the same page....to build a beautifully well built classic townhouse!

From our first meeting with Charleston Building and Development, we knew they were the right people to trust to build our new home. Charleston Building and Development is a family-run business - dad, Larry and sons, Erik and Adam Van Someren - who do quality work and are true to their word. With the help of their designer, Nicole, they made the daunting process of building a home doable. We had never built before, so we were a bit overwhelmed at first, but they took us step by step through the process, (almost) making it easy! Nicole is amazing and spent hours upon hours patiently helping us as we picked cabinets, countertops, tile flooring, paint colors, light fixtures, etc. Charleston Building and Development also has reliable and skilled people who they work with - electricians, plumbers, painters, cabinet makers, trim guys, etc. - they did beautiful work! We love our new home and we love the location near downtown Naperville. The building is beautiful and unique, thanks to the vision of the Van Somerens. We would, without any hesitation, recommend Charleston Building and Development to anyone planning to build. You will have a wonderful experience from start to finish!!!

Anton is a great listener and communicator, and he took the time to understand our vision for the space and provided flexible options for our budget. He also has a great eye for design elements, and he made some helpful suggestions that really added to the overall look and function of the bathrooms. Anton also works with a team of highly skilled subcontractors, and everyone was professional, courteous, and respectful of my home. They also cleaned up after themselves every day, which was a huge plus. The bathroom remodels were completed on time and within budget, and we are absolutely thrilled with the results. Cypress Hill exceeded our expectations and we highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and skilled contractor. Tracy & Jen VanHoutan

My home is without a doubt the highest quality construction anyone in my family has ever seen. I thoroughly enjoyed working with Dan and everyone associated with Cypress Hill. Dan is creative, enthusiastic, organized, and experienced. I was so impressed with how he was able to advise me given my limited budget. He guided me so that I spent money in a way that added to the lasting value of my home. He took the time to educate me. You will not need a designer -- Dan's design sense is spot on. My immediate family was so impressed with the quality of the construction and Dan's ability to manage the financial end of construction that they are also going to build a home with Cypress Hill. If you are in the market for a builder, this is the one you want. I enthusiastically and without reservation recommend Cypress Hill Development.

Where do we begin? From the moment we were introduced to Henry and Kim Coyle in 2003, we were…read moreconfident we were in good hands for making the transition from city-dwellers to suburbanites! As first-time home builders, we relied heavily on Henry's experience and insight into home design and building. All of the decisions and necessary considerations and selections can be overwhelming coming from previous limited condo finishing experiences, but Henry simplified that process and actually made the home building experience fun and exciting, as opposed to stressful and overwhelming. In addition to Henry's own creative and practical ideas, he also valued our input and enthusiastically accommodated our proposals when possible. We couldn't have been more pleased with our custom-built Coyle Construction Company home! Henry's attention to detail and constant home site supervision resulted in a beautiful, comfortable house we were proud to call home for 12 years. We were so happy with his original work that seven years after moving in, we rehired Henry to finish out our basement. Henry truly takes pride and cares about putting his name on every project he starts, and as a result our "lower level" was completed with the same top quality materials and workmanship of our original home. Just as important, the job was completed on schedule and with the utmost respect for our family's privacy and home life during the build out process. After 12 years in our first beautiful Coyle home, our family's needs changed and we wasted no time consulting with any other builders when we were ready to build again. We contacted Henry and he helped us find the perfect floor plan to fit our lifestyle needs and wants. We moved into our second Coyle Custom Home in July 2016 and are extremely happy with the upgrades in both finishes and technology, and extra efficiencies Henry was able to incorporate into our new home. Having now completed 3 major building projects with Henry and Kim, it's easy to highly recommend Coyle Construction Company to anyone considering building a custom home!
