Chicago Prefab & Custom Pool House Builders

Mike was on time and began work immediately. He was very punctual when it came to calling inspectors throughout the project and we never had an incident with regard to any of the inspections necessary. Mike designed and installed two separate, but connected cabana areas (one of which is attached to our house in the yard). The other cabana area, which houses an in-ground hot tub, is attached to the initial larger cabana. Mike uses the best material possible that he hand-picks himself which is extremely important to achieve the highest quality workmanship. He installed the roof for the cabanas which he matched perfectly with our existing house and all the gutters and soffits that also match perfectly with our existing house. He gave us many options to choose from with regard to cosmetic additions to our cabanas including designer pole covers with crown. Mike is extremely confident in the work he provides and will be honest with you if he feels something will or will not work. It has been 4 years since we had the cabana installed and are still extremely happy and confident in the structures. Both cabanas could withstand a Florida hurricane and that's no exaggeration. We are so confident in Mike's workmanship, we had him install a beautiful pergola in our yard over the bar by our pool. We have had many compliments from family, friends and neighbors with regard to the cabanas and pergola and could not be more happy with the work Mike has performed. To all of you looking to find an honest, hard-working contractor, Mike's your guy.

We recently worked with Mike Rosian to build an attached 20x24 cabana in our backyard. We were convinced we wanted to work with Mike after we saw what a beautiful job he did on our neighbors pergola. Not only do we love the final product but from the start Mike was an absolute pleasure to work with and he was a man of his word. His responsiveness, organization, guidance, knowledge, work ethic, and business acumen are only a FEW of the reasons we are so happy. Thanks mike, you turned our backyard into paradise!

DOUG, THE BUILDER, WAS ON TIME, PROFESSIONAL AND EASY TO WORK WITH. THE SHED IS OF HIGH QUALITY, MUCH BETTER THAN MANY THAT I COMPARED WITH. THE COST OF THE SHED WAS VERY GOOD. VERY PLEASED WITH THE QUALITY AND THE CONSTRUCTION. VERY PROFESSIONAL AND A GOOD VALUE.

They did a great job. Our new tool shed matched our house exactly both color and style. Their workmen were very professional and the shed was completed in only days, both the teardown and rebuild.

The shed took a bit more time and the gate was done solidly since the post was never in cement- was above ground and the gate was heavy for the post. Several handymen a few years ago declined even to do the gate post on the deck- shed was not an issue back then.

My wife and I were very pleased with The Shed Shop through the entire process from planning, purchasing, to building. The Shed Shop sale representative, Jessica, was extremely helpful while we were comparing several options for building a storage shed located on our vacation property located in Northern MN. Jessica thoroughly explained the entire process from shed selection, options for construction, delivery, and construction. Jessica was able to answer all of our questions. We contacted 4 other shed construction companies in Minneapolis and Duluth and had considered purchasing a shed kit and building ourselves. The Shed Shop was the clear choice for us. They had the best selection of sheds that met our requirements along with their prompt and friendly service. As planned, the construction crew, Tim and Chad, arrived at our property just after lunch and finished by 3:30 pm. We only had the following day to get a coat of paint on the shed before we headed back to our home in Illinois, To make our painting easier, we were able to work along side Tim and Chad to paint the trim before it was put into place. Otherwise, we wouldn't have been able to finish the trim painting in the time available. We are so glad we chose the Shed Shop and would definitely use them again for similar projects in the future!

They delivered and installed the shed in one day. Great job, very professional. They installed shingles that we provided that match our new roof on our house, and gave us a credit for the "included" shingles. We are very happy with both the work done and the product provided. It's a little pricey compared to the competition, but the quality seems worth it - particularly for something that should last 25+ years. The surprising thing was how many options are offered to customize the shed. Our old shed did not have a loft so we weren't sure we needed one. We got it any way...What a BIG difference the loft makes in freeing up space to move around inside the shed! All the big and light stuff goes up there, not piled in your way. I'm 6' tall and have no problem walking under the loft without bending over. If we should ever need another shed I would certainly go with Tuff Shed!

We were extremely pleased with Fresh Look Renovations. The shed they built for us exceeded our expectations. It was high quality and delivered aesthetically pleasing design as well as function. They were very responsive, fair and hard working. They also made sure everything was cleaned up at the conclusion of the project. We highly recommend Fresh Look for your renovation needs!!

The sales process was fine. Mike Vassely in sales came to our house to measure the area and consult with us on the type and placement of the shed. We wanted to paint the shed a custom paint, to match our house, and he even came over and picked up the custom paint so it could be painted in their factory prior to install. We supplied the paint and paid them to paint our shed. Here is where everything went downhill, and I why I'm giving Tuff Shed an "F" for customer service.... They painted the shed a single coat in their warehouse, and is customary, started to paint the second coat onsite. However, they started painting the second coat in a different color which was so blatantly different from our custom color – but they didn’t catch that it was the wrong color until one side was already half-painted! Unfortunately, they left our original paint back at the factory and couldn't correct the issue that day, so they went forward with the install of our shed of our half-painted shed. They promised they would come back that same week with our custom paint to correct it. But, numerous phone calls to their Franklin Park customer service center as well as to Curt, their general manager, went unanswered. I'm so displeased with the lack of after-care customer service. All they care about is getting these sheds installed and nothing else... forget about after-care. I still have a half-painted shed and no resolution to have this resolved three months later.

I was impressed with their selection of sheds and their low price. Their sales and customer service is good.

The project went very well. We already had an idea in our head of the addition we wanted to build for our growing family when we contacted Leader Builders and they transformed those ideas into reality. We considered three construction or design build firms and decided to go with Leader and we were glad we did. My wife was pregnant during construction and I think she only lost he mind once, which is pretty good. We had to set some expectations with them and things then went smoothly. Leader was able to deliver a project in one construction season, from when we signed a contract in February, they completed the design in March and had a permit shortly thereafter. Construction was complete by Thanksgiving. Leader was able to work to keep the final design within the project budget and worked with us on some of the owner requested change orders. We were very happy with the quality of work and only had a few minor miscommunications. It was a big project so there were bound to be hiccups, but overall things went well and we are happy. My main recommendation would be for when you are establishing/negotiating the contract scope for the design build scope: do not put off any decisions. If you think you want to do something include the work in the initial contract. Leader gave us some good prices on some work we were considering but we did not add them at the time of the initial contract. When we came back to add them as a change order the price wasn't as good. So know what you want up front and negotiate at the beginning because that is the best price you will get. Another important point is to select all your finishes, windows, appliances, etc as soon as possible because the carpentry work must accommodate these items.

Evan had the materials delivered and the next day started construction. He was very conscientious and worked long hours to get the shed build in a timely manner. He followed all the rules that our city required and the shed passed inspection. I couldn't have asked for a sturdier and better constructed, great looking shed. In previous months Evan has retiled my bathroom and installed baseboards throughout my living and dinning room, and various smaller jobs. We are always happy with the outcome and would highly recommend him.

I got Chris’ info from a coworker who had his deck installed by UpperDeck and he was very happy with the result. I saw the pictures and called Chris for the job. We met with Chris several times to plan the project before jumping into it. I threw him a curveball in that I needed not only an addition to my existing deck, but also wanted a dry storage place under the addition not visible. Chris tackled the challenge and knocked it out of the park, getting his concrete contact involved who dealt with a gnarly grade in the yard to get the concrete pad poured. The deck crew came in and did beautiful work…true craftsmen of their trade. Great guys in general to interact with and they paid so much attention to detail. Chris and his crew brought our half-developed vision and idea to reality plus more. These guys are great at what they do and I encourage anyone wanting a new deck to stop searching and call them!

I highly recommend HighPointe Construction. They were not the lowest bid, but also were not the highest bid. They do high quality work, and I most appreciated how responsive they were from start to finish. They widened our driveway, added 2 sidewalks, and a 10x12 shed that someone could live in (if the HOA would allow that!). If I contract any other projects, they would be my first call. Give them a shout, you will NOT be disappointed!

They were excellent. They did exactly what they said they were going to do. They showed up on time, and we had no problems at all with them. The workmen were professional, and they were reasonably priced.
