Last year, when a storm blew through (4/2024), it damaged our fence and Fence Builders, Inc did a beautiful and professional job in fixing our wood fence. The quality, communication, installation and team were far superior to any company I have used. Selidonio and his team were outstanding. Prompt in returning my calls, coming out to quote, and installing. He is reasonably priced and we are very happy with the work. Just last week (6/2025), we needed a gate made out of a panel of the wood fence, and again they exceeded our highest expectations. If you are looking for a fence repair or a new fence, I would highly recommend Fence Builders, Inc. in Palatine! You will be happy you called them. We LOVE the work they did!!

***Never consider Times Construction Company and owner for home improving and developing…read moreprojects**** In August 2024, my spouse made an agreement with the owner of this company, Haroon Mohammad, to carry out two renovation and construction projects at our home simultaneously. These projects were supposed to be completed within a maximum of one month. My spouse repeatedly asked the owner of this company to provide the final version of the contract for signature, but Mohammad kept delaying and avoiding this request with various excuses. According to the agreement, we were supposed to pay 30% of the contract amount at the start of the projects, and the remaining amount upon their completion. Unfortunately, due to an unfounded and mistaken trust in Mohammad, my spouse ended up paying him the full amount within a month -- even though, after seven months, the projects are still not finished and Mohammad is no longer answering our calls. He even failed to pay his workers, and we had to provide fruit, sweets, food, and lunch daily to Mohammad's workers for two months. Although my spouse has hired a skilled legal attorney and this matter is being pursued through the legal system, the stress and mental toll he has endured during this time is irreparable. Therefore, if you are considering a renovation or construction project in your home (painting, roofing, remodeling, finishing basement, retaining wall, etc.) , I strongly advise you not to consider this company or its owner. The most dishonest, incompetent, and disgraceful qualities a person can have are embodied in the character of this company's owner.

I would give this company a zero rating. We hired Haroon to paint our basement on 8/16/2024. As of…read moretoday 9/5/2024 the job is not finished. They were very sloppy got paint speckle's on my entire new floor and baseboards. Paint on my stairs leading to the outside and even on my driveway. Left the room with dust everywhere and did not move my furniture back as he said they do. Did not clean or prime the walls before painting them. I had a dust web on one wall corner and it was still there when they said they were finished painting. You can see roller marks on my ceiling and missed panting marks. Every appointment we had with him he either was hours late or did not show up. No phone calls and no shows. We have cameras in our house and they were standing on my $10,000 pool table and my speakers to paint. When I confronted both Haroon and the supervisor Gino all they said was "well was there any damage". After several attempts and missed appointments Haroon agreed to come back. Of course he was 8 hours late and all he said after I pointed out the horrible painting job is that he want to get past all of this and would repaint. 2 more appointments set up with him and no show and no calls. After 2 phones calls of calling the company Times Construction I left a message that I will be going to small claims court about this the supervisor Gino called and assured me that he will get this corrected or refund my money. Same scenario no show for appointments although he did call one time and said that the person that was to come got kick out of the place that she/he lived in and they could not make it. Wanted to set up another appointment on a day that my husband was having surgery. I explained I would need to call back to give them the time. Well I called gave the Ok to come and again no show no call. On top of all of this we have a TV on the wall and Haroon said that they are painting around it because no one can see behind the TV. What a joke. My husband took the TV off of the wall and told them to be careful as it was leaning against our couch. Haroon knocks the TV over and tells my sister " oh well they need a new TV anyways". They also only painted half of the room because they said that paneling cannot be painted. When we researched this and confronted him about it he said too much work. Our contract was for him to paint the paneling. I am now going to take them to small claims court. Beware!

Diamond properties was hired to rehab my building. Their workers moved into the vacant units being…read moreworked on. Construction has been a mess and they were just shut down by the City of Chicago with a Stop Work Order for failing to obtain the proper permits. They also received a warning from the City for failing to have appropriate recycling bins. The management company has been completely unreasonable turning off water without enough notice, randomly shutting down the washing machines and nickel and diming tenants. I would recommend searching elsewhere for ANY service they provide. I wish I could post pics of the mess, the terrible landscaping, the overflowing garbage and invasion we've had to deal with.

When we did the walk-through, they let us know that it would be a 2 - 3 day project. It was finally complete after 33 days. To be fair, there were some really rainy days, but an inspector had to come out to our house 4 times. In the beginning, the communication was severely lacking. We ended up having to call them almost daily to get a progress report. Our front yard was torn up for SO long, it made us seem like the messy neighbors! And we didn't have any explanation as to why unless we contacted them!! Towards the end, they were MUCH better at communication, probably because we become the thorn in their side, calling each day. At the end of the project, I hoped they would give us some sort of discount for grossly underestimating the time it would take, but alas, they did not. They chose to argue with me which left me with a bad taste in my mouth instead of giving us a little bit of monetary compensation, which would have made things feel A LOT better than they did. In the end, our project looks nice! But it was not worth the hassle. Do your self a favor and DIY or hire a different company.
