I'd highly recommend Olympic builders. Nick was extremely communicative before during and after our four month renovation that included an expanded kitchen, moving and expanding a bathroom and expanding a bedroom on the second floor. My house is 100+ years old and we had an unexpected structural issue that Nick handled like a pro. We were never surprised by any financial issues. He kept us informed at every step of the way about the progress and how our decisions might affect, timeline, cost, etc.. our project finished on time and passed oak park inspections quickly. read more

Olympic Builders - Renovated kitchen. - General Contractors Near Me - Oakbrook Terrace, Illinois

See all

From everything we were told, our expectations from general contractors were late starts every morning, costs going above and beyond our estimate and delays after delays resulting in the project lasting weeks to months later that estimated. 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. read more

We have used "only" Olympic Builders over the last ten years...Why? Dependable, affordable, quality workmanship, flexible, trustworthy (to access your house when not home) and reasonable to work with on every and each project..they did our major addition, remodeled our kitchen, did our basement....and now with the recent flooding...came out immediately, assessed the damage and after two weeks, have redone and restored our basement, with great and valued suggestions. A big thanks to Nick and Roland!! Angel and Cindy H. read more

Our experience with Olympic builders was the best we've ever had. Nick was professional, friendly, and very helpful in guiding us through our kitchen remodel. He knows the business, and his experience helped us get a great remodel that was within our price point. His crew, lead by Roland, were always friendly, professional, and so easy to work with. Everything was accomplished on schedule and without hidden additional costs. Were so happy! Thank you Nick and Roland for restoring our sense of trust in the home improvement world! read more

This year we decided it was time to put on the addition we'd planned on our modest 1-1/2 story cape cod. We did some due diligence, looked at Better Business Bureau, Yelp, and other references, and selected a few firms to give us an estimate. We contacted Nick at Olympic Builders largely based on the before/after pictures on his website. Several looked just like what we wanted: cape cods that didn't become a "box" with the addition, but which flowed gracefully with the existing architecture so the whole was greater than the sum of the parts. That's exactly what we wanted and after getting Nick's quote, which was lower than competing ones, we went with Olympic. Needless to say, we're thrilled. The project is just now wrapping up and we love our "new" home. Neighbors have been stopping by to compliment us on the exterior, and the interior is - if anything - even more beautiful than the exterior. We've converted a modest 1200sqft 3bd/1ba into apprx 2000 sqft with a lovely master bedroom, 2nd bath, guest rooms with walk in closets, new HVAC and mechanicals, and hardwood floors. As the project proceeded, whenever there was anything that needed a little extra care, Nick and Roland were there to fix the problem. The original 60 year old hardwood floors were stained and could not be salvaged in some sections? Nick came up with the fix. The south facing window in the guest bedroom would not fit as we wanted it? Nick found the solution - a beautiful east-facing double window even better than the original plan. The trim on the staircase needed to be redone after the demo? Roland repaired it as good as new. Nick and Roland and their subcontractors are the best, and we have no hesitation recommending them, and we plan on doing our future renovations with them. read more

We are beyond pleased with how our project with Olympic Builders turned out. We put a brand new kitchen addition onto our 1892 Victorian farmhouse. Nick and his team did everything they could to keep the style and details as true to the style of the rest of the house as possible. Nick is extremely knowledgable, well organized, and professional. He remained exceedingly patient with me throughout the project as I needed extra time to make decisions about the particulars of the project. Roland is an expert carpenter who made every detail perfect. Nick and Roland make a great team! In addition to the incredible work they did, Nick was always upfront and honest about cost and time. We would wholeheartedly recommend Olympic builders to anyone looking to make improvements or additions to their home! read more

These guys are the best. We purchased a single-floor brick house, then hired Olympic to re-arrange the basement (including stairs and structural posts), gut/frame the first floor (moved some doors and windows), and add the entire second floor (framing, siding, windows, roofing). Occasionally a sub-contractor missed the mark, but Olympic stayed on them to make sure things got done. We also hired Olympic back to do our new detached garage. I'm a picky customer (designed these jobs and did electrical myself) but Olympic has always been easy to work with, timely, and honest. They gave me options to meet my budget and did not mind me taking awhile to decide on colors, etc. Looking forward to working with them again sometime. read more
