We spent a bit of time discussing the job, its basic details and cost, and Tom stated he'd complete the job this coming Saturday morning. Instead, Tom requested to come a day earlier a few hours later, and arrived on Friday, finishing all of the tasks that we'd discussed without issue. We're thankful for his services, expertise and candor, and would readily hire him again and recommend him to Yelpers looking for smaller, punch list-oriented tasks.

I Always paid him on time and never gave him a reason to get upset. Since then, he has been harassing my tenants and me, threatening to call the city inspector to come to my buildings, sending my tenants ideas how they can sue me trying to force a Tennent to go on a date with him for smoke and drink in a very aggressive way, and many more... He seems to be very desperate for work and claimed that no one wants to hire him and kept asking me for more work, and when I said, I'm not willing to work with him, he get upset and start threatening again. I would stay away from this guy and will never let him in my house or any of my properties. I also filed a police report against him and restriction order together with a few of my tenants that has been harassed I attached a few screenshots to show the type of service you will be dealing with working with this company. Update to the owner comment: I added a screenshot on this page, showing the phone number, matching the phone number. I was texting with plus I found you on the Yelp through this page

Al even walked me through a couple additional items that made a huge difference in the remodel. All the work is extremely high quality including some of the best tile work I have seen. We had 2 Bathrooms remodeled by Al. We are not very good at designing, so Al provided a few options for each bathroom to choose from. Once the design was finished, Al did a excellent job managing the work. He was extremely responsive and quickly answered any questions we had. The final product was excellent. We are very happy with both bathrooms and highly recommend Al. Thank you, Al, and his team!

Read this review before contacting Chicago Custom Remodeling!!…read more Wait. Before you read this review, first go schedule some time to meet with Al, because his schedule fills up quickly...FOR GOOD REASON. He is hands down the best contractor you could hire for your home remodel project. I really wish there were a better way for me to explain to you how good he is. Just put it this way: I am currently looking for a holy candle with his photo on it. Too far? Come on. I have seen them even with local celebrities and this guy saved my life. Still too far? Let me tell you the story. My wife and I bought our DREAM HOUSE. Well, maybe not hers, but it was for sure mine. I had always dreamed of buying a house to gut rehab that I would do with my dad. That was this house. It was a perfect prospect for a gut rehab. The only thing I thought I couldn't do myself was remove a load-bearing wall and replace it with a beam. That is how I met Al. I called him for a quote on the beam. Our first meeting was awesome. He walked me through how he would replace the beam and it was great. He then showed me that I would probably want to replace the main beam running the length of the house. At the time I didn't know how he knew to go check that beam. Soon I would learn that his years of experience serve his customers in many different ways. As he was wrapping up the first visit, he asked me about the rest of the project. I told him that I was taking care of it myself. He asked me what I thought it would cost and then he told me what he thought it would cost. His number was much higher than mine, but it made sense that it would cost that much more if I left it to a professional (remember this for later). I felt good that I could get this done, so I stuck with Al for the beams and decided to keep the rest for myself. So we moved ahead in the project and then things got a little tricky. My dad got sick. Thank goodness he is still with us and funnier than ever, but he was in no shape to be my driving force through this project. I had no clue what to do. I was working on the house on my own and dealing with a couple of contractors that weren't the best. Without my dad (who is a carpenter and had been for 40 years), I was lost. Then I thought of Al, and I remembered how great he had been with the beam and how he seemed pretty confident with how he would approach the project. I sat down with him and asked him to take on the carpentry work that my dad would have driven. He gave me the quote and how he would work the project, and light came back into my life. While he was working on carpentry, he gave me some great ideas on how we could make this project even greater. He also worked well with other contractors that I had hired. Although I didn't hire him as the general contractor, he guided me through the silly mistake I made in trying to GC this thing myself (DO NOT MAKE THAT MISTAKE). So the weeks and months passed, and the project is clipping along, but we are behind the schedule I had wanted (all self-imposed). Al knew how much my wife, kids, and I wanted to get moved into our new house. Then Al put his cape on. He worked hours that I have never seen a contractor work before. He put our project on his back and brought it home. He saw me cry when I didn't know what to do, and he saw me cry when the drywall went up and I saw the light at the end of the tunnel. I now live in the house that I had always dreamed I would have. My wife and kids love everything about the house. Many of the things that they enjoy on a daily basis would not even be here had Al not said, "how about we do this?" He has an eye for all things no matter how small or how large. The dream house that turned into a nightmare that turned into my forever house would never have been possible had I never dialed the number that I hope you did before you read this. If you have not, please call Al right now! He will treat your home as if it was his. I have actually heard him tell his team that. "Build this like you would want to live in it" Oh right, back to that number I asked you to remember. Outside of a little variance for my silly missteps. Al was dead on with how much it would cost to make this dream a reality. Finally, I would like to say thank you to Al. You changed my life. You gave me the place that I am proud to walk up to every day and call home and the place in which I will raise my kids until I send them to college. You are truly the best around.

You dont find contractors like Irek anymore!…read more From the first time meeting Irek he was very respectful of our house and explained the whole process clearly. Price was given a day after the inspection and it didn't change. We turned a old 1/2 bath into a full bath. Adding a shower to a bathroom without a shower. Irek did it all from electrical, carpentry, plumbing, everything! The work came out really good and you can tell he pays attention to detail. Did exactly what we wanted. Also one big plus is he doesn't jump around from one job to another. Once he starts the job he works on yours until it is completed. Took him less than 2 weeks from start to finish. Highly recommended Irek if your looking for a great contractor that does it all and gives you a great price.

Mixed bag. His electrical work was good and his carpentry work was good for the most part. He did…read morea decent job extending the square footage of our laundry room and reframing everything. However, I cannot recommend his services for plumbing or painting. He doesn't believe in using spray paint or paint sprayers so a lot of his paint job on rounded things like stair railing are shoddy. Furthermore, he doesn't use enough tape or plan painting in a way to avoid dripping. For example, he will install baseboard PRIOR to painting rather than just paint first to avoid dripping. But the worst is plumbing. He is not a licensed plumber and cannot work well with plastic tubs or PVC. He broke several pieces of PVC while doing a bathroom and used the wrong type of adhesive which caused further leaks and damaged drywall. The worst is he KNOWS this and uses drip pans under drains to cover up his leaks. Don't use Irek unless you are ok hiring more plumbers/painters to fix all his shoddy work.
