I beliv they are running a Ponzi scheme of a company, or at least that is what it appears to be with the amount of work they are getting done around here. It seems like they used our money to get their bigger clients' jobs done and not our job. The amount of work they have finish in the past five months could have been done in 4 or 5 weeks. There have not shown up to work for muliple weeks, and when the do show up it is one or two days and they only get one thing done. Don't fall for the "you need to pay us money at differen phases" and then they don't show up. They claim this doesn't usually happen but they are NOT doing anything to get things done any faster. They continue to tell us someone is coming to do such and such work and NOBODY shows up.

We worked closely with many All Quality employees and contractors including the company owner, manager, designer and the craftspeople who did the actual work. Our project took months and, as a result, the All Quality team almost became like family. The men working in our home were always kind, helpful and hard working. Martin and his crew were consummate professionals, and took great pains to be sure we were happy with the result. They did a wonderful job and we couldn't be happier with our kitchen and basement. Dave, the project manager, walked us through every step of the process and maintained an open line of communication. Overall, All Quality was terrific to work with and provided us with exactly what we were hoping for in a renovation.

***UPDATE 11/20/25*** After posting this review, Florin sent a message implying retaliation -…read morescreenshot attached to this review (similar to the lien threats mentioned below). This message was perceived as intimidation rather than an attempt to resolve the issues. *Another update (post Florin's reply) - Even Florin's reply to this review shows his retaliatory nature. His comment confirms exactly why I felt compelled to warn others. It is clear his reply is not intended to clarify facts but to retaliate after I posted my experience. Steer clear of Florin. He is an excellent salesperson upfront, but once the job starts, everything changes. He repeatedly emphasized how "honest" and "transparent" he is, yet my experience was the complete opposite. He missed deadlines, cut corners, and insisted on doing plumbing work himself that was far below acceptable standards. The issues started on day one. Despite assuring me he would protect all flooring, he placed his tools and bathroom demolition debris directly on my newly finished hardwood floors. That should have been the first sign - especially considering he had already collected a significant down payment. As a professional contractor, he structures his billing so he is always far ahead financially, making it extremely difficult for customers to stop work and hire someone else once issues appear. Things worsened when he improperly removed a radiator, causing a major flooding event that resulted in water damage from the upstairs bathroom through the main floor and into the basement. The drying and repairs dragged on for over a month, repairs that were only necessary because of his mistakes. The project ended up being more than six weeks late from the timeline we originally agreed upon. Even after all the delays, he still could not get the plumbing functioning. The vanity, faucets, and shower were all left incomplete and unusable. Despite this, he demanded payment and went as far as threatening to place liens on my property for work that wasn't even finished or functional. Looking back, a red flag occurred at the very beginning: Florin strongly encouraged not pulling permits so he could "expedite" the project and get started immediately. I now understand why. His work repeatedly failed to meet even basic standards, and it's clear he would not have passed a village inspection. This was one of the most stressful contractor experiences I've ever had. I would strongly advise anyone to avoid working with Florin. If you want more details or have questions before hiring him, feel free to reach out to me directly: rkline90@gmail.com.

I highly recommend Mike Bambouyani with Yamane Development LLC. Mike is a top notch highly detailed…read moreand knowledgable professional contractor and licensed plumber. Mike went above and beyond to help us when our previous contractor completely botch the job, took our money and left the job site a complete disaster. Mike takes the time to review all aspects of the job. He went with us to pick out finishes, he is knowledgable with every product available and is able to walk you through the pros and cons. He has a great eye for finishes and product detail. Mike does a large portion of the work himself, his long time crew is incredible clean and conscious of being in your home and treating it with the upmost respect. Mike helped finish our kitchen remodel, he had to demo and redo 2 bathrooms, a primary bathroom and a 2nd bathroom, he had to fix a lot of plumbing and electrical work along with tile and trim work. He has an excellent fabricator as well. Mike has been in the business a long time and it shows through his extensive knowledge on construction and material. He uses a detailed construction app that helped him and us track every step of the project. Mike makes himself available even after the project is complete to check on things and make adjustments when needed. I would recommend him for any construction project you are considering, large projects and small, he does the job correctly. A+++. Thank you Mike!!!!

Arete Renovators was completely wonderful to work with. You hear a lot of horror stories about…read moreChicago contractors, and I can say with 100% certainty that working with Arete is the exact OPPOSITE of those horror stories. My contractor, Ned, and his team saved my sanity this year, as my initial bathroom remodel turned into a bathroom remodel PLUS gut rehab of the kitchen due to a flood in my high-rise building. More details below, but the tl;dr version is the Arete team, led by Ned, was easy to communicate with; had great systems in place for keeping track of everything that was going on; deftly navigated the challenges of working in my high-rise condo while a major riser project was under way at the same time; and gave me a fantastic finished product in exactly the time frame they had promised. I honestly cannot recommend them highly enough. I initially hired Arete just to update my small bathroom in my 1-bed, 1-bath condo in a high-rise. From the minute I met Ned, I knew he listened to me, understood what I wanted and knew which questions to ask to make sure the end result was exactly what I was hoping for. Arete's initial estimate came in a little higher than the other companies I got estimates from, but I had a good feeling about their systems and their great communication, and I am SO GLAD I went with them. When the Arete team came out for the initial walk-through of the bathroom after I hired them, Arete's owner was with them. While he was in my unit, he noticed a significant amount of damage in the kitchen from a flood a few weeks earlier, damage that had been completely missed by a vendor sent out by my insurance company. He encouraged me to contact the insurance company again and request the proper insurance vendors come out on site to investigate. Those investigators eventually discovered a huge amount of water damage and mold behind the walls, which necessitated a gut demo of the kitchen. If the Arete team had not noticed the telltale signs of this damage, I would have never known to push back on the insurance company for additional services, and I would have been living in an unsafe environment as a result. Then, when the insurance vendors gave me the runaround and claimed they couldn't rebuild the walls in my unit for at least three months, Arete agreed to step in and complete the work, and it was done within a week. Then they helped me upgrade my countertops as well. At the same time, they were diligently completing the bathroom remodel (the initial reason I hired them). Throughout that process, they effectively communicated the timeline, contacted me with any hiccups, made sure they got approval for any changes, talked me through the choices, handled all the logistics without my having to do anything (they even picked up some of the the supplies I ordered and stored them for me until they were needed!). They were just generally fantastic to work with. They finished the bathroom in the 5-week timeline they had initially anticipated in their estimate to me. I am SO happy with how the bathroom turned out. Their work was impeccable. So, so grateful for Arete, and for my beautiful new kitchen and bathroom!
