The worst painter I ever had in all my 5 houses. Beware like the one review said. I wish I would have listened but I was recommend Dave by Tony the owner of premium cabinets that said dave is also a contractor. I gave dave 4 thousand dollars to paint an empty 800 square foot condo with no furniture and he didn't finish painting kitchen or hallways or closet shelves. It was an easy job. But it was a nightmare. I have a list a mile long. The straw that broke the camels back was him doing something simple like putting a rod in my closet to hang my cloths. Well I put my last piece of clothing on rod and the whole closet rods and brackets came out of wall on top of me. He came back after his vacation 1 week later and fixed it then he measured wrong and I couldn't open the drawers from dresser inside of closet that he knew I had to open the drawers. So that being said I couldn't trust Dave installing my cabinets for premier. He can't even hang a closet rod let alone cabinets. Hit or miss kinda a guy. Live and learn. Reviews are for a reason. Next time I will listen. That was a lot of money for me Beware. read more

We were in the process of both remodeling our condo kitchen with new cabinets, and replacing our complete condo flooring and therefore in need of a contractor we could trust. Our cabinet company salesman put us in contact with Dave Pike, and we will be forever grateful he did! From our initial meeting to go over the project, our vision and expectations, and timeline, Dave's professional approach, support and suggestions told us straightaway that we could trust him and his work. Not only did he finish our project in time and on budget, we are so pleased with the high quality of work and his follow through to complete a few minor lingering issues. We appreciated his level of communication and follow through whenever we had questions. This is by no means our only renovation and we thus know how difficult it is to find a contractor who does what he says he will do, with expertise and consummate professionalism, and by someone you can trust to complete the project to your specifications. Dave Pike did that precisely, so we highly recommend his services. Our building manager was so impressed, he asked us for Dave's contact information so he can forward it to others in our building! He's a gem! read more

I had a great experience with David. From the moment I contacted him for a quote, he was quick to respond. He was easy to communicate with via e-mail and text message. He and his team re-did my bathroom and it looked great. He helped me bring the tiles up 4 staircases and was also amenable to picking up and bringing up the toilet for us which was great. He was very flexible and friendly. The work they did was efficient and he left everything clean. I would definitely work with him again. read more

David and Juan at Pike Remodeling & Painting were a true pleasure to work with. I had a minor kitchen remodel in which I needed old cabinets replaced, appliances/plumbing re-hooked up, and a back splash put in. In my experience, a lot of my friends have had horror stories when it comes to contractors, but I did not experience that with David and his team. From the moment I reached out and asked for a quote, David was super responsive. He came to my unit to provide a free estimate of the work. His quote was very fair, and was very open to some suggestions I had about things I could complete prior to the demolition phase to get the price down slightly to meet my budget. David took about a half day for the demolition, one day for new cabinet install, and then half day for grouting/tiling along with plumbing/electric re-hookups. David was very flexible with time frames that would work for my schedule, and was always very responsive via text/phone. Another thing I appreciated about David, is he went out of his way to make suggestions that would make the things look better in the kitchen. For example, I had dark cabinets but white electrical face plates for the outlets. He went to home depot and picked up some brown face plates and then asked me if I would prefer the brown, to match the cabinets. I most definitely did. Not only does he do a great job with the major work, but he also does a fantastic job with the little things - and those little things matter! Probably the best part of working with David, is that his price quote was all encompassing of what he anticipates the work will entail. He is NOT a nickel and dime type of guy. For example, I had a small clog in my bathroom faucet, and I asked him if he could look at it while he was in my unit for the kitchen. He was happy to take a look, and he unclogged the trap under my sink without tacking any cost to the final bill. This is what I call TRUE CUSTOMER SERVICE. In my experience, you can go for the cheapest contractor, but when push comes to shove, something will not go as expected, or your will need something minor, and the price just goes up dramatically from what was originally quoted. This was not the case with David, which I TRULY appreciated. David's quote was fair, and did not deviate. Last but not least, David also provided great recommendations on where to find the best prices for tiles, and other things we needed for the kitchen. He also gets a discount at some tile shops and offered to pass that discount on to us, as well as pick up the items for us, if needed. David also worked very seamlessly with our Cabinet provider (Premium Cabinets) and took time out of his day to pick up little items such as cabinet clips, a new kitchen door (which cam damaged from the Cabinet provider) etc, so that we wouldn't have to worry about it. Again, you can't beat the quality and service from David. I've already recommended David to a couple of friends and recommend him highly for any remodeling and other contracting needs you may have! Thanks so much for your hard work, dedication, and fantastic customer service David. I most definitely will use you again! read more

Pike Remodeling & Painting - Painters Near Me

David from Pike Remodeling (Elmhurst, IL) was recommended to us by Premium Cabinets (943 N. Crosby Street, Chicago, IL) to install the cabinets and overall kitchen remodeling in our condo. He did a reasonably decent job while working on the kitchen project. He was also pretty reliable, which enabled us to not only trust him, we thought we were developing a mutual, respectful relationship. WHERE AND HOW WORKING WITH THIS COMPANY WENT WRONG? Please continue reading......Three months after David completed the kitchen project, my husband and I were comfortable enough to hire him to remodel the 2nd phase: two bathrooms, foyer, one master bedroom and a den. Initially, he was so attentive, responsive to our two requests to meet in person, to discuss the project, the scope of it and the projected completion date. Phone calls, emails and text messages went answered. He stated that he was going to put four guys to work on our project full-time to "knock it out" and "be done very shortly." He was so nice, sweet as pie. After signing the contract and giving him a deposit in the ($) thousands, our phone calls, emails and text messages went unanswered. He resurfaced about 13 days later, indicating there was a family emergency, preventing him from responding to us. ?? Taking into an account that we had worked with him previously with barely any issues, we let it slide. The start date of the project got delayed by four days. He did not show up on the start date. He explained he did not have all the materials, so he had to start later. Finally, David and his team started the first week of June. Due to fact they were going to do a full demolition work, we were required to move out. (David assured us that the whole project would take roughly four weeks, no more than six weeks). After the team demolished our place in a day and half, leaving behind piles of cancerous-producing dust, scraps and debris, David ghosted. Again. No one was on site to either remove, clear out the debris and/or start on ANYTHING of substance for 18 days after bashing our place into Ground Zero zone. The place was inhabitable. BTW, what did I mean by "anything of substance"? David and his team quickly put up a drywall during that time. The drywall work was a serious joke, appearing to us to be some kind of a dog-and-pony show so he (David) could claim he did some work. The wall was uneven and way too thin! It was so awful that it had to be torn down to put up a whole new drywall later on. He did not respond to our phone calls and blew off our text messages. He became responsive after our attorney contacted him. David became all sweet as pie and cooperative. Again. He was removed from the project early July. We were forced to live in a hotel for 5 1/2 months as opposed to projected 6-weeks, bleeding money. So, why 5 1/2 months? Try finding a qualified, reputable contracting company to take on your "botched" project the 2nd week of July. Peak time. We had to wait until mid-September for the new crew to start. To date, as I am writing this, my husband and I will be moving back into our place this Tuesday. Finally. Beware. Of David and the company, Pike Remodeling and Painting. If you decide to hire David, I highly recommend that you have an attorney review the contract. My experience with David, my perception was he would twist words and even split hair to manipulate the contractual agreement to benefit him. Also recommend inserting "LIQUIDATED DAMAGES" in the contract. My overall experience dealing with David and his company was akin to interacting with a carnival con artist. Again, BEWARE, CAUTION. read more
