Colleen was able to schedule Steve to come out to provide an estimate very quickly and then to get me scheduled within a short period of time. Steve really walked me through what they were going to do and why. They did a great job and left the space in great shape.

A stunningly professional service from beginning to end…read more Our initial contact with Steve presaged the good things to come. He was very informative about the process, and he responded to our needs with a quick visit to survey the items we wished to donate. He also put us in touch with an appraiser. The three workers were equally professional. They worked hard, treated the job site (i.e., my home!) with respect, and kept me in the loop as questions arose. The lead worker, Mike, is a retired general contractor) with an incredible knowledge of the construction and deconstruction trades. On the first day, they were a bit late because of an ongoing snowstorm. They called twice, updating us on the ETA, which was only 20 minutes or so behind schedule. The deconstruction was finished on time, and we could proceed on schedule with the renovation work on our condo. A great experience for us with Blue Earth. And a great experience for the planet, as about four tons of material was kept out of the landfill. Our renovation is in two parts. When it comes time to remove and deconstruct the other part of our condo, I need to make only one call. Bob C Chicago/Lincoln Park

Jim and his team at Independent Remodeling did an amazing job on our first-floor renovation,…read moreexceeding our expectations. From the start, Jim was responsive and easy to work with. He has great ideas and isn't afraid to tell you if something you want to do isn't necessarily worth the expense (which we very much appreciated). They delivered high-quality work that leveraged their knowledge and expertise to ensure our new space was functional and beautiful. Some things you look for in a general contractor and rarely find are the ability to stay close to budget and timelines, and Jim and his team did both of these! Jim does a thorough of a job putting designs/estimates together, and the only change order we had (that wasn't scope creep on our part) was for some poor electrical a previous owner did that Jim couldn't have anticipated. In addition, Jim keeps your project moving. We rarely went two days without someone at the house making progress on our project; there were no extended delays due to materials or labor issues. Jim and his team also excel at problem solving. Every project has hiccups along the way, but every issue is tackled and Jim won't stop until the solution works for you. As an example, we were having trouble matching the color of some new hardwood floors to older, existing floors in the house. He helped us put down 16 stain samples and promised we would keep trying until we got it right (and we finally did!). It was very clear our happiness was extremely important to him. If you are looking for a contractor who is honest, knowledgeable, responsive, efficient, affordable, and fun to work with, Independent Remodeling is who you should work with. It's hard to find a company you would want to use a second time, but Jim will be the first person we call for future projects in our house, and who we will recommend to friends and family if they are looking to complete a project in their home.

Jim and his team at Independent Remodeling were fantastic to work with and we love the results…read more Jim was flexible and worked with our schedule to help us put together what we needed in our basement. He helped provide advice and answered questions quickly throughout the process. Our project was completed on time and within budget. His staff was very friendly and easy to work with as well. Very professional throughout the experience. I would definitely recommend his services for anyone looking into a similar project.

Terrific Job! Renzo…read morereally knows his stuff and explains what is needed now and what can or should wait. I have a lot of trees on my new property and they had been a little neglected. His crew and equipment were first rate and they really worked the trees until they looked great. They removed two trees and three large boxwoods and it looked like nothing was ever there. Left the yard neater than it was to start with, and nothing damaged despite all the heavy work. Highly recommended.
