When I decided it needed an update, I went back to Tithof, because they had done such a good job the first time. I was not disappointed! Beginning with the product selection process in Northbrook right down to the final clean-up after the installation, everything was done efficiently and professionally. Rayna helped me with the product selection. She was knowledgable and responded to my requests in a timely manner. She was also very pleasant and very nice to work with. Brett did the measuring. He, also, was very professsional, answered my questions, and made some good suggestions. The installers were great, too. They worked quickly and carefully, and did a very nice job of clean up. The final result is beautiful, and I am very happy with it.

I got a very good feeling for this company right away. A gentleman came to take a look at my granite. He said he wasn't too hopeful about the stain being removed. He put something on it that he left overnight. When he came back the next day and took the material off, the stain was still there. Then he cleaned the granite and resealed the granite. A few hours later when I returned from an appointment, I was happy to see that my granite was perfect! The stain was completely gone. I am so happy. And as an aside, the gentleman's name was Bob and he was a very nice man. Thank you! Happy

Roman Klecha is the boss at Great Stone and he and his team just completed a quartz kitchen…read morecountertop project for us.  We are very pleased with the overall product quality, installation, and friendly and excellent customer service for our project.  Great Stone is basically a small but reliable family business that we learned of through a word of mouth referral, often the best kind of referral you can get.  Daughter Marta was our main contact through most of our shopping and selection process but kept close contact with da boss Roman.  She was very responsive in providing speedy quotes for a few quartz selections of interest from a couple of their numerous stone/quartz suppliers.  Upon request, because of some visual variation we thought we saw, she also helpfully arranged for us to see specific slabs of Calacutta Leon quartz from our final selected supplier MSI even though this isn't usually a necessary step with quartz.  We also bought our new stainless steel 16 gauge double bowl sink from Great Stone as they have good pricing for that accessory as well as a decent selection.  The pricing for their quartz product and installation was also very competitive.  Roman always kept me personally up to date via text messaging on project timings, and always kept his word.  He showed up promptly for final measurements and installation, and delivered with his team on the countertop installation date on day 12 after measurement, beating his projected 14 day window by a couple days.  Our installation team consisted of Roman, son-in-law Thomas, and family friend Matthew.  They are an experienced, competent, and professional team, and completed the installation with nary an issue.  Being a sorta blabber-mouth, I also enjoyed chatting with each and every one of them, and while not interfering with the job of course (I don't think), I got some interesting and enjoyable personal and job stories from each.  On installation day, the team also included a special appearance by friendly and engaging Marta and whilst the job was ongoing in view, she treated us (and vice versa) with some interesting and fun stories of her own.  At the end of it all, and most importantly, the final product was beeeautiful!  I highly recommend Great Stone for any stone project you may have in mind.  They are good people that provide a great final product at a great value and they honor their word.

Exceptional Long-Distance Design Experience…read more Confession: I've never set foot inside the Jesse Chicago Furniture showroom, but the level of service and attention I received from a distance of hundreds of miles away was truly outstanding. When I was moving from Tennessee, I decided to purchase everything in advance to reduce the stress of moving into a new city for my family. Xin Yang, Luciana Malo, and Corrie Fitzsimmons were incredible throughout the entire process--thoughtful, communicative, and deeply invested in getting every detail right. Coordinating a furniture purchase remotely isn't always easy, but this team made it happen. They offered expert guidance, responded to every question with care, and managed the logistics with precision. The result? Absolutely stunning. The pieces are beautiful, the layout works perfectly, and I couldn't be happier. Huge thanks to the team at Jesse Chicago for their talent and professionalism--I highly recommend working with them, whether you're local or shopping from afar!

Deborah Pernice was our designer; she was able to use her expertise and our vision to design a beautiful, family-friendly kitchen in our 2200 square foot house that has allowed us to host our large family. Deborah went to bat for us in designing and redesigning our floor plan to make us able to knock down a small support wall and add an island so that our kitchen is now completely open to an odd-shaped dining addition that was done by previous owners in an aesthetically-pleasing way. We love our kitchen and all the smart choices Deborah made, such as a stick-vacuum and electronics cabinet, lazy susan, and beautiful lighting options. I recommend Deborah if you are looking to design your kitchen or bathroom in the Northwest suburbs.

We called AVDG in Chicago because our Sonos system was having problems, cutting in and out. A…read morecouple of men came to our house and thought that the problem with Sonos was our internet. They thought it had been set up wrong, so they reconfigured the modem and the Asus routers that send Wi-Fi around our big house. They said we should get the new modem that Xfinity was offering for free. We got the new modem (gateway) from the Xfinity store and set it up. Then one man from AVDG came to our house and removed one of the two Asus routers and set the other to work with the new Xfinity modem. He also reconfigured the Sonos system to work better (made a sonosnet) with the older components (Sonos Connect) that we have. It was working fine when he left. But now the music still cuts out frequently. Sometimes it's just a brief disturbance, but other times it's so frequent and annoying that we just have to turn the music off. It's possible that the problem is with our hardware (the 2 amplifiers or the Sonos components ). So, after spending more than $800 the original problem remains. We probably have a better internet and WiFi system, but we were not having problems with that before.

I will start by saying I initially used tvti to do my shade installation followed by my smart home…read moresetup. They came recommended to me by a friend who I trusted when it came to tech things so I figured I would give them a shot. The prices were not cheap but I was looking to do things right so I went ahead with the process. I spent over 80k for shades and smart home installation including equipment as well as pay a year subscription to a service for support. 1) Shade Install Overall this process went ok. The installers actually did a good job but they brought a shade which had a giant spot on it and tried convincing me it could be cleaned. After failed attempts they finally replaced it and overall the shades worked fine until about a year after when one shade had rolled onto itself. I scheduled an appointment for the shade as well as a technical issue and they finally came. The guy was very nice and professional and while fixing the tech issue (flashing tv signal from the Apple TV) he didn't bring a ladder and told me I would have to schedule that again. While I don't mind constantly making appointments I do try to have a life outside of scheduling them with AVDG. 2) Technical Setup This initially seemed like it went well. They installed a Control 4 system with dimmable LED lights and a mesh WiFi network. Upon first look everything was shiny and impressive. However, the problems were just beginning. To start, I wasn't really offered anything other than Control 4. This is an abysmal piece of software. DO NOT EVER BUY THIS if you have the money and want to do things right. After install everything went wrong. Speakers wouldn't work. TVs would end up on the same IP and malfunction. The WiFi network was garbage and the signal wouldn't reach different parts of the house. The initial setup didn't include a large enough switch to make sure all my Ethernet ports in the home were working so when I tried to set up a home office I was surprised (though this is my fault for not reading the specs) that they didn't work. Upon reaching out to the representative, I was told that work would be an additional $900 and I would need to buy a new piece of equipment. I am not sure why they made the decision that I wouldn't want all my Ethernet ports on given it was a brand new home and I was willing to spend money. I ended up getting mad and finding an alternative solution for this issue. However, the problems never stopped. I've scheduled over 12 visits to handle numerous tech issues. Volume not working. The handling between inputs not working properly. Network issues with no connection. The list is endless. The last straw came two days ago when the network randomly made a private IP so no secure login connection could be accessed from the home. No Apple TV. No apps on Apple TV (Netflix HBO etc), no banking, no vpn, nada. The Ovrc system I pay an additional subscription for yearly to help trouble shoot my network also didn't work (of course) because it also requires a login! I emailed 3x regarding this issue as COVID has pushed me to WFH and this requires a login...go figure...only to sit looking into a blank inbox from AVDG (on my phones LTE of course - because email also requires a login). Even as I write this review I have to use my phone because yelp will not allow the connection between whatever rogue network randomly took over in the middle of the day. My "smart" home setup has become essentially useless. I can't use any of my devices and can't work from home. While I do understand that sh*t happens, the lack of response and support for the amount of money spent and the yearly subscription just goes to show you the unbelievably terrible service of AVDG. I WILL NEVER work with this company again. I do not recommend you do either. Find someone else as this is probably one of the most terrible experiences for the money I have ever had.
