We had Total Home Improvement refinish an already finished basement, build a custom work room in the unfinished part of the basement, and build a custom storage area in our unfinished attic. Everything they did was fantastic. THI is run and staffed by courteous, highly competent and communicative people. If you want to get what you pay for from people who clearly take pride in doing their job well, contract with THI. The quality of the work they did was excellent - better in several cases than we were expecting. The on-site staff were super courteous, obviously loved what they do and care a lot about doing it right. Total Home quotes prices up front and strives to stick to that plan. Our project had some cost changes, but none were really surprises, because we were advised up front of places that things could get more (or less) complicated, and when that did happen, THI always talked with us about how to proceed before making any changes to plan. You have to sign off on contract cost changes. Overall, we love everything they did. We have future remodeling work planned and will absolutely contract with THI for it. read more

Total Home Improvement just completed a second project for us. The first was a kitchen remodel and the second was a master bathroom remodel. I selected Total Home Improvement for my second project because of their commitment to high quality work. Garret lead us through the design phase, Keith managed the project day to day and and Abigail assuring materials were ordered and on time. This team works well together and does not take any shortcuts or compromise in any way. All workers are friendly, professional and ensure proper clean up at the end of each day. I highly recommend Total Home Improvement. read more

I do not recommend Total Home Improvement, LLC (Third Lake, IL) for a kitchen renovation. I hired them for my kitchen and my experience was far from satisfactory. I initially agreed to choose THI for my project due to the good reviews online and recommendation from my designer who thought it would be easier to have THI be my contractor since I was already ordering cabinets and tiles from them. My initial consultation with the owner, Aaron Glenn, was great. He seemed to understand the entire scope of the project but ultimately fell short at time of contract signing. There were significant discrepancies, and I felt like I was gaslit on multiple occasions. This company subcontracts almost all of its work which resulted in major inconsistent quality and communication issues. Major delays occurred due to incorrect supply orders and measurements, and the company (Aaron) showed absolutely no willingness to offer apologies, sympathies or compensation for these setbacks. The most concerning aspect was his unprofessional and unethical behavior regarding a final punch list of incomplete tasks and a remaining balance of $2000 of a total $138,000 project. He demanded payment onsite without providing an updated invoice and even threatened to dismantle my kitchen if immediate payment was not made via credit card. He was assured multiple times that payment would be sent after final work was assessed by my designer, just as I have been doing for the $135,000 of work previously completed but he refused to leave my home. I ultimately filed a police report and am still contemplating legal action as he has threatened to put liens on my property. Based on these experiences, I would NOT recommend Total Home Improvement, LLC. If you decide to still pursue this company, make sure you get everything from the owner in writing during your initial consultation. It is critical you have him sign a delay of work contract (clause dealing with delay in performance) and a waiver of lien so he cannot threaten you as he has done with me. If he refuses, that is a red flag, and you should reconsider this company. Good luck on your renovation project and God speed! read more

Clown show. Buyer beware. Has some burn out ex contractor who's own construction company went belly up as his sales rep. The guy lies to me saying they have there own workers and don't hire sub contractors. Well come to find out that indeed they hire almost all subs for the technical work. Also, the guys pricing was way out of line. I understand you need to make a profit but these are difficult times for everyone. Do yourselves a favor and shop, shop around. read more

I called to get an appointment to redo 2 bathrooms and kitchen counter top. After some confusion a guy came out to measure and take pictures. His business card had a different company name than total home improvement. He said he would get back to us with next steps in a week or 2. After 3 weeks I called and was told someone would get back to me right away. It's now been a month and not even a call to say they are too busy. If they can't even get back to you within a month (after 3messages) I can only imagine the responsiveness after you give them a deposit. Just another contractor who got too big now ghosts new clients. We found professionals to do the work!! read more

Exceeded our Expectations! Working with Aaron, Abigail and the rest of the guys at Total Home Improvement was hassle-free. Aaron was extremely patient in the planning phases of our bathroom design. We met with him several times to go over design and material selection and we never felt rushed. Abigail was instrumental in making sure things were moving according to schedule. I can't say enough about Nathan, who is not only talented at laying tile but also took any concerns we had seriously. He communicated everything back to Aaron and Aaron got it taken care of immediately. Not only did the service at THI exceed our expectations, but they made our vision for our bathroom remodel a reality. We will not hesitate to use THI in the future! read more

Well planned, great execution and on budget! We had a fairly large project to be done with a few unique elements that needed special attention to detail. We spent considerable time with Aaron on the up front planning and he assured us that would help us avoid surprises and budget over runs as the project progressed, he was correct. The attention to detail up front, took a little more time than anticipated, but it kept the project flowing smoothly without wasted time or budget surprises. Aaron provided welcomed guidance on material selection with attention toward cost management. Abigail, served as the communication hub between us, Aaron and the workers. She always kept us up to date and a pleasure to work with. All of the THI employees were professional throughout the month's long project. They arrived on time, did quality work, were courteous and always cleaned up the jobsite upon leaving for the day.

I would strongly suggest you select Total Home Improvement as your vendor for any kind of remodeling. I went to a Home Improvement show which had 5 vendors. I interviewed all 5 and asked all 5 to remodel/estimate my kitchen using the same specs. Total Home Improvement was by far the leader. I looked online for their accreditation's. I did not have any one who used them so I had no personal references. But now you have mine. Little did Aaron (owner) know but once I selected his company, I had more work for them. I basically remodeled my entire main floor of my ranch house. Remodeled the entire kitchen, new tile floors, carpeting, trim around the windows and baseboards in every room. I replaced every interior door and exterior doors. Painted every single room. New lighting in several rooms. I could not have been more impressed or happier with selecting THI. Aaron is an excellent project manager and his crew was detailed oriented and has outstanding workmanship abilities. His crew added finishing touches that I would never have expected or asked for. I had one issue with my counter top and Aaron rectified it immediately. Due to the counter top issue, my remodel was only delayed by one week from the original completion date. I am highly recommending that you select THI as your vendor. I can not say enough good things about this company. read more
