Ken did a fantastic job. When I initially met with Ken, I had a very disorganized entry closet, a…read moregeneral idea, and a picture off the internet of what I thinking. From just the picture Ken came up with a plan and was able to design and build a custom entry bench and storage. After the initial meeting and design, Ken came back onsite a couple weeks later with most of the materials built out, and assembled and installed everything. Could not be happier with how everything turned out. He leveraged every bit of functional space, which we need with small children, and also made a beautiful entry piece. Ken was super professional, kept me updated along the way and clearly went over options or any ideas I had for changes. Will definitely use him again for future jobs.

Ken is very nice to work with, honest, and fair in pricing. He is very good at what he does and his craftsmanship is excellent. He took the time to understand the job and do it right. Hard to find a good contractor these days, and I was lucky to have found him. I will hire Ken again whenever I need custom woodwork done.

We found Brian and Carpentry Connection through HomeAdvisor for our deck re-build project. When he…read moregot our information through Home Advisor, he called promptly and came to our house that night to estimate the new deck costs. We were tearing down a very small/old deck and wanted to replace it with one that went the length of our home. We had 3 other contractors come for an estimate and gave us some obnoxious pricing for a plain rectangular deck with no bells or whistles. When Brian came over, he listened to what we wanted and then asked if he could design something different. He drew up a rough design on a napkin and it blew our minds. In addition, Brian offered to build us a pergola, a privacy wall and a bar table included in our price. No other contractor offered anything different than a plain square design. Once the project started, his crew worked fast and the quality of design was way more than we expected. All the corners were rounded and he framed out the exterior portion of the deck for a nicer look. What impressed us the most is that Brian offered us upgrades that would have a better look and without seeing it, he was able to imagine things that we couldn't even think of. We took the extra upgrades even though it cost more and Brian was right, every upgrade we did made the deck look so great. Brian worked with us throughout the process and when we requested something, he made it happen. He figured out how to make it work. We could not be happier with his customer service, his craftmanship and the overall experience. We have had friends and family over and everyone was speechless when it came to his design and quality. We were very satisfied and he will be our first call for any future projects!

We recently had our kitchen and master bath cabinets resurfaced by ReNu. Erica was a joy to work…read morewith and helped us choose the style, color and cabinet hardware. In addition to refacing the cabinets, ReNu converted an outdated desk area into a much needed pantry. They also raised the cabinets above our current refrigerator in anticipation of future models that are several inches taller. Erica continually updated us on both the manufacturing and installation dates, always meeting their timelines. The installers, Beto and Marlene, were punctual, friendly and neat. Their craftsmanship was top notch. Upon completion, Erica contacted us to make sure we were satisfied with their work. Needless to say, we were more than happy! If you are looking for a reliable, friendly, skilled and reasonably priced resurfacer for your cabinets, we highly recommend ReNu!

From the initial sales talk to, to the office staff, and finally the finishing touches, RENU was an amazing company to work with. The Crew working on the kitchen arrived promptly each day, worked efficient and impressed us with how experienced and highly skilled they were each and every day. They planned each days tasks, divided them and worked in conjunction with each other to complete the project in the time promised. From tile floor to finished crown molding on the cabinets, everything done so beautifully and professionally. KUDOs all around, I highly recommend them when considering a remodel.

My wife owns a two multi-unit buildings in Pilsen Chicago and has a long time plumber with whom she…read moregrew up. He is an incredible tradesman and always our preferred choice where his services are warranted. We, however, live in Winnetka and this is outside "Armando's" service area. He, however, recommended HT Strenger to us and we are extremely happy that he did. We experienced a leak behind a kitchen wall that another vendor purported to fix yet to no avail so this was a re-do. David of Strenger reported precisely on time and opened the wall as if he was instead a laproscopic surgeon, unlike the previous failed vendor whose access hole/port was four times larger and created a mess that required the acquisition of a drywaller and several hours of collective inconvenience. The first failed plumbing contractor billed in 15 minute increments and, if I am not mistaken, so did Strenger, with the difference being the former's "efficacy coefficient" was zero. Stenger's work lacked the haphazard, sloppy and careless inputs of the first acquistion, one of those "always on the radio" suppliers whose name a collegue supplied, and who regretfully I called, as the job seemed perfunctory to say the least. Unfortunately, my belief of the strong inverse correlation that exists between a company's propensity to run obnoxious radio ads and its tendency to screw up the simplest job remains. Neither my wife nor I believed it necessary to ask a real plumber for a more proximate recommendation ("Armando, who would you hire if you lived up here" was indeed the targeted vernacular) but such is the world in which we now live. Another reviewer apparently thought it strange that the company requests "five star" reviews post completion. David made the same request but I construed this not as a plea of desperation inasmuch as affirmation that one would be forthcoming IF and only IF, we felt comfortable rendering such. Strenger's management, unlike the radio advertisers, seemingly understand that loyality, and the ability to thus eschew spending thousands of dollars or whatever these others pay on psychobabble laden. platitude filled ads, comes from telling customers what you will do and for how much, doing it as promised and then billing appropriately. We now have two favorite household plumbers with Strenger being our preferred provider up north. It's just a shame, however, that it takes typically two suppliers, both requiring remuneration, to acquire one good outcome. Strenger made write all that was wrong and I am very grateful for its excellent work. You will be too.

Similar to the review from August 2025 - Had HTS rod my main sewer line. Was told that the charge…read moreis $275 for first 30 minutes plus $105 for each succeeding 15 minutes (2 man crew - again, seems excessive for simple rodding). From the time they arrived to the time they left was 1.5 hours. Somehow an "extra" 15 minutes was added on though my doorbell cam clearly shows when they arrived and when they left. I called the office and they said that time starts when they arrive, not when they start work. I disputed the timing and was told they could pull the GPS records from the trucks and the tech's phones. I asked them do so to justify the extra charge. No response - 3 weeks later. I used HTS on complex work in the past and they always did good a job, but I would never again ask them to something of this nature. They're over market priced, shady time keeping practices and poor customer service. Update: Didn't mention that somehow they slipped in a $75 "camera fee" that wasn't mentioned when I called before the service. HTS did call me (left a vm) and stated that they checked their records and the "timing was slightly different" from what I reported. It was enough to run into the next 15 min. window because they start the clock when they arrive, not when they start work. Wholly unsatisfactory all around for me. As stated above, they're not the right contractor for this kind of work.
