He approaches each project with thoughtful consideration and will provide honest feedback. Generally speaking, his direct employees as well as his subcontractors are a talented, trustworthy, and hardworking group. Their tile work in particular is outstanding. But ... Just like every contractor I've had the pleasure of knowing, they always seem to be overextended in terms of the amount of jobs they take on. Although I would recommend Ideal Remodeling, don't have any expectations of a prompt project completion. That said, I'll take that any day over getting swindled.

First, let me say I value and appreciate the Ideal Remodeling team lead by Kamil. Kamil and team…read moreproved to be very attentive and flexible while working through my projects. The full team was professional, respectful and talented. Beginning with the proposal process, which was timely and efficient, I felt comfortable with Kamil. During the full project, the team arrived each day on time and worked full days. The finished product is beautiful and I am very happy with the work provided by the Ideal Remodeling team. During any remodel or construction project there is going to be issues and delays. For my job, most delays had nothing to do with the Ideal team; yet Kamil and team offered suggestions and assistance to work around and/or resolve. Their ability to remain even keel and professional is much appreciated during any remodel. I originally contracted Ideal Remodeling for only the remodel and tile work. But halfway through these projects, I became more impressed with Kamil and crew. Given the earned level of trust and their workmanship, I cancelled my planned painting contractor and gave the painting job to Kamil and the Ideal team also. Our unit is approximately 3000 square feet with full crown moldings in all rooms. The paint job included a detailed design plan and required attentive focus. The finished work is impressive. Additionally, a leading member of the team, Martin, installed complicated tile work to walls that fully meant my high expectations. Kamil and the Ideal team also back up their offer to provide follow-up work if needed. We completed all work prior to moving into our new space. After move-in, Kamil and team returned to touch up walls marked by moving company and also address a few final punch list items. I trust if any future issue arises relating to work performed, Kamil and Ideal will address in the same professional manner as demonstrated during the projects. If I have any future remodel or construction needs, I will not hesitate to call upon the Ideal Remodeling group!

We have worked with Dean on multiple projects this past year.

All projects were reasonably priced with good quality work and communication. The bathroom crew was professional, friendly, and efficient. Don't underestimate the importance of having a professional crew when they will be in your house for a few weeks. Look forward to the next project with Perfected Painting!

I hired Dean and Perfected Painting and Home Services to paint a home that I had just purchased and…read moreto stain the interior woodwork throughout the house. The job was hectic right from the start. He had painters coming and going constantly. One person would start an area, leave, and then someone else would finish it. There were problems everywhere. When the job was completed, there was not a single room that did not require multiple rounds of touch-ups. Multiple sections of ceilings were completely missed. At one point, Dean tried to convince me that a bedroom closet covered in cobwebs had been freshly painted. There were paint speckles all over my kitchen counters because they did not put down plastic before rolling the walls. They also rolled the stairway walls without proper protection, leaving paint speckles all over my stairs. It took me nearly two hours to clean the paint off the risers. They also failed to remove old caulk before applying new caulk. Instead, they simply caulked over the existing material. It has been just over a year, and some of their caulk work is already failing. The wood staining had numerous issues, including runs, drips, uneven color, blotchy areas, missed spots, and sections that looked painted rather than stained. The contract called for light sanding, followed by a coat of stain and a coat of polyurethane. Toward the end of the project, the sanding appeared to be skipped. The stain and polyurethane were mixed together and brushed onto the wood. After seeing the finished product, I consulted multiple professional painters. They advised that the defects could not simply be touched up and that the wood would need to be sanded back down to bare wood and completely re-stained. Some even expressed concern that certain doors may need replacement due to the extent of the damage. Before hiring Dean for the garage floor, I told him I was considering an epoxy system. He advised against epoxy and recommended a product he referred to as "Heavy Seal," telling me it would be less expensive, more durable, and longer-lasting. I trusted his expertise and hired him based on that recommendation. The contract called for proper preparation of the garage floor. Unfortunately, the floor coating began failing within months. What started as a few small problem areas quickly turned into widespread flaking, peeling, bubbling, and hot tire pickup. I now have paint chips all over my driveway where my children play, and the chips are also being tracked into my house. I had several garage floor coating companies inspect the floor, and they all indicated that the failure appeared to be the result of improper surface preparation before the coating was applied. I spent thousands of dollars on work that now needs to be redone. Hiring this company was one of the worst financial decisions I have ever made. I ultimately filed a small claims lawsuit in DuPage County seeking compensation for the cost of repairing the defective work. As of the date of this review, the owner of the company, Dean, has not appeared at one or more scheduled court dates.

Alseb Group: A Disastrous Experience I am writing this…read morereview to warn others about my experience with Alseb Group for a Deck rebuild project that began on June 4, 2025. The outcome has been nothing short of a complete disappointment. Initially, the project seemed promising, but it quickly spiraled into frustrating issues. The team consistently used shoddy wood, craftsmanship was horrible, with at times looking like a child cut the wood. When I expressed concern, I basically never heard from them again. The quality of the work itself was the most critical failure. There was a blatant disregard for craftsmanship and attention to detail. Specific examples of poor work include: * Bowing rails 1 week after completion that Alseb Group refused to fix * Numerous boards not cut to proper length, leading to nothing lining up. * Refused to finish last part of contract because they said they weren't making enough money. When confronted with these issues, the contractor was Defensive then unresponsive. My attempts to resolve these problems were met with silence and a complete lack of professionalism. Ultimately, I was forced to hire a separate, qualified professional to fix the shoddy work, incurring significant additional costs. The final result is a project that is subpar and incomplete, and has cost me far more than the initial estimate. I have everything documented including all misleading texts and pictures. I will gladly share with anyone thinking of using this .company I would strongly advise anyone considering hiring Alseb Group and to look elsewhere. The lack of communication, un-professionalism, and extremely poor quality of work have made this a truly disastrous experience.

Alseb Group far exceeded our expectations for our flooring project. It is difficult to say which…read morewas more impressive - the high quality of the work or the customer service. From start to finish, they were professional and transparent. They listened and worked with us to complete our projects. At no time were they condescending or forcing a hard sell of something we did not want or need. Each member of this family-owned and operated company was an absolute joy to work with and I could not praise them enough. My siblings and I were preparing our family home for sale. After being abandoned by a general contractor with whom we were working, we sought a reputable company to restore our 100-year-old maple floors that had been buried beneath decades of carpeting, padding, staples, wax, and glue. Although we knew it was a tough task to restore the floors, we knew it was possible. Where other companies balked at the condition of the floors and either attempted to inflate the price of the work or sell us on purchasing new flooring, Alseb Group came to our home, assessed the work to be done, and told us exactly what was needed without peddling fear. They were honest in stating that they could not work miracles but would be able to restore the floors. The quoted a very competitive price for the job and provided an itemized quote that clearly conveyed the cost for materials and labor. They also provided a clear timeline for the job. They did not shortcut the work. They did a high quality job from start to finish, taking care to deliver the best result possible. Although they stated that they could not work miracles, the result was truly miraculous. The floors look amazing. Photos do not do them justice. We also hired them to install laminate flooring in a bedroom, which turned out great as well. We were so impressed with their work that we hired them to complete additional projects including installing flooring in a kitchen, breakfast room, and pantry as well as repairing a 100-year-old weather worn wood exterior door. They took care to level the entire kitchen and install a subfloor rather than simply placing the new flooring on top. With the door, they did an amazing job removing the rotted wood and creating an embellishment that retained the character of the door. They worked with us to select the perfect stain for the door. Now it looks better than it has in nearly a decade. Additionally, they repaired and painted a rotted wooden window frame. Their attention to detail is rare. Their experience and expertise were a gift, as they made us aware of things we had not considered and took time to make sure that we were pleased with the results. There were numerous benefits to working with Alseb Group. Of note, they were fast. They completed the work in expert fashion in the estimated time frame and were always punctual. Communication was always clear with quick responses to questions. They were transparent and explained the work to be done and went over the work once completed. As imagined with a 100-year-old property, our projects were not easy, but they completed them with ease. They were problem solvers who offered great suggestions and ideas for completing our projects within budget. They gained our utmost confidence and appreciation throughout the process. We could not be more pleased with our experience working with Alseb Group. They demonstrated great professionalism, expertise, and integrity. I highly recommend them.
