From start to finish, he exceeded our expectations and gave us the kitchen of our dreams. He handled everything--removing the old kitchen, removing our old appliances, and flawlessly installed our brand-new cabinets, backsplash, countertops, appliances, drywall and more. The attention to detail is second to none. Every cabinet is perfectly aligned; the new kitchen design is outstanding, and the countertops and backsplash look stunning together. What impressed us the most was not only the craftsmanship but also the professionalism. Lukasz showed up on time, kept the workspace neat, and communicated with us throughout the entire process so we always knew what was happening. Remodeling can be stressful, but he made the entire experience smooth and enjoyable. And the contract price was very good. Our new kitchen is absolutely beautiful--bright, modern, and functional--and we've already received so many compliments from friends and family. The photos don't even do it justice! If you're looking for a contractor who is reliable, meticulous, and truly cares about delivering quality work, look no further. We highly recommend A.L.S. Remodeling. We will definitely call him again for future projects.

I had my closet redone and ordering a custom door took longer than it should have (not their fault), but the communication while waiting for was lacking. I assume this is because they are a small shop and pretty busy not out of malice or incompetence. THAT BEING SAID. I had a great experience with DBR; the crew was considerate, kind and clean. They worked hard and did a good job. They completed many tasks adjacent to what I had asked for in the remodel. Overall I am very pleased with the work they did and I would use them again.

We were preparing our condo for sale and needed to update the place to look a little more modern. DBR provided much attention and care to every last detail. Our built-ins and kitchen cabinets looked brand new after their refinishing. The marble surround on the fireplace was meticulously placed. The walls were buttery smooth after their paint job. Our master bathroom was not a complete gut, just a mini-refresh. DBR was able to run the plumbing to accommodate a double vanity in no time and run the electrical to allow the mirror to function properly. DBR's quote was extremely competitive to other contractors we reached out to and I'm grateful we found them. Would gladly reach out to them again for work in our new home! Thanks, DBR!

It has been a year since Stefan remodeled our kitchen and built a closet in our foyer. Both…read moreprojects were done at the same time, and he did a great job on both projects. Both projects have been without any issue. The kitchen project consisted of a complete remodel, replacing the hardwood floor and subfloor, installing all new cabinets, building and installing an island with range hood, running water and gas lines as needed, installing backsplash tile, installing granite countertops, installing recessed lighting, and painting. The work was great and he finished within the timeframe he gave us. He also matched the stain for the hardwood floor with the existing hardwood floor. The closet project consisted of framing out a new closet, installing closet doors, framing out and installing cabinets above the closet for additional storage space, and painting. We have an older home, which means that remodeling projects can be complicated by unexpected or unanticipated conditions. But Stefan and his crews did a great job. We were pleased with the results when he finished, and we are still pleased a year later. Great quality, great value, and overall great service.

I hired Alpha House Construction to remodel the house I purchased. Unfortunately, my experience was…read morevery frustrating from start to finish. Stefan was very difficult to work with throughout the project. A large part of the battle was constantly having to argue with him because he acted like it was his home and his decisions mattered more than mine. Mid project my $800 Kohler shower head went missing. Instead of taking responsibility or helping resolve the issue, Stefan tried to blame me for it, and I ended up having to repurchase it myself. Later, when I started having issues with the plumbing work, Stefan sent his plumber out to look at it instead of coming himself. As the general contractor on the job, I expected him to personally come see the issue and take ownership of what was happening rather than passing it off to someone else. Over time, I started experiencing repeated backups, bubbling toilets, and drainage issues. After continuing to deal with these problems, I learned that the a pipe that was installed by Alpha House was back pitched and holding water and waste instead of draining properly. When the plumbing was inspected, standing water and sludge were visible in the line, but I was still told everything was normal and there was no issue by Alpha House. I trusted that advice at the time, but the problems continued. Since then, I have had three different plumbers inspect the line, and all three told me the installation was incorrect. I was told the pipe was improperly pitched and that at least one of the fittings was not installed correctly. I am now stuck paying THOUSANDS to have the piping redone because the original installation was not done properly in the first place. What is most frustrating is not just that the work appears to have been done incorrectly, but that the issue was clearly visible on camera and Stefan still dismissed my issues instead of being addressed. Based on my experience, I would not recommend Alpha House Construction.

We…read morehired Mirek for a kitchen renovation in our turn-of-the-century Chicago greystone, and the results are well beyond our expectations. Kitchen remodels can be incredibly stressful, but Mirek and his team made the entire process smooth and worry-free. From start to finish, Mirek was incredibly professional, highly responsive and very knowledgeable. He took the time to understand our space, offering excellent suggestions that improved our cabinet layout and functionality. His crew, Christian and Lucas, were true craftsmen. They were professional, efficient, tidy, detail-oriented, and clearly took great pride in their work. They understood the unique challenges of a 120+ year old house, solving every issue. We are happy to have chosen Mirek and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a top-notch general contractor.

We got a few quotes and…read moreultimately went with Homewise Remodelers because the price was reasonable and Miro was so thorough in walking us through our options. He helped us select cabinets and worked through several versions of the kitchen layout until we were happy with it--we were easily able to swap out cabinet layouts and finishings, like adding a farmhouse sink. His crew were reliable, on-time, and respectful of our property throughout the remodel and we appreciated their attention to detail. They solicited our input on decorative details and were quick to fix things we didn't like, e.g., the location of kitchen cabinet pulls. We felt they treated our home as they would their own. The project even wrapped up a few days early. We would absolutely recommend Homewise Remodelers and choose them for future projects.

Stanley came out and gave me an estimate within 48 hours. After going through numerous other…read moreestimates for our insurance companies, we chose to go with Global Home Improvement. Stanley gave me the timeframe and was honest about the timeframe for our bathroom job, but he also guaranteed that the job would be done in the timeframe we needed. We had to go with a new tile because the tile in the bathroom before was outdated and unavailable. He kept the price in the range that we needed it to be. Looking at the finished product I can't put into words how good of a job they had done. Redoing the wall, the bathroom tiles, and the tiling by the shower was all done correctly and they made sure to clean up everything when they were done. I will be calling Stanley for all of our home needs moving forward.

Both projects, like most projects, ran into minor issues throughout the construction process. But Jakub was always quick to problem solve, remedy, and make sure the final product delivered on my expectations. Regardless of his personal thoughts on my nitpicks, he embraced a "customer is right" mentality throughout the entire project, and did what he could to make my life easy. I hope I don't have to deal with being the HoA president of a condo building if another building violation comes around the place I'm living, but if I were, I'd have no hesitations calling Jakub again and seeing if he could help.
