Get matched with top insulation pros in Arlington Heights, IL

"My cedar shake roof sustained hail damage and started leaking in December, 2019. SS Builders came out and covered the leak with a tarp to stop any further damage. The interior drywall was ruined due to the leak. The contractor worked with me to submit the insurance claim and once the claim was approved, work began right on time as scheduled. The entire old cedar shake roof was removed and a new one installed while keeping with the current code. All of the necessary permits were also handled by SS Builders. The 3 old skylights were also not up to code and had to be replaced along with the attic vent fan and ridge fans. The interior work was scheduled to be completed after the exterior work was done and it went without a hitch. The roof took about 1 week of work to remove the old shingles and install the new ones. The interior work took about 3 days of time for the drywall and painting. The entire job was completed by April 20, 2020 due to some stoppages because of the weather and the new skylights not being delivered in time by the factory. SS Builders are very good at communicating what they were supposed to do and they did all the work in a timely manner. They are very professional in what they do and they cleaned up the entire exterior and interior after they were done. The owner was in constant communication with me at all times and answered any question or concern that I had promptly and completely. The work was done to my satisfaction and the finished roof looks lovely – my neighbors have even complimented me on how nice the roof looks. It has rained and snowed since the roof work was completed and there are no leaks or any need to have SS Builders come back. They do offer a warranty on their work and I would have no hesitation in using them for any work that I might have in the future. I strongly recommend using them for any roofing / building project you might have as they are one of the best in the business."

"I hired EcoBuild to work on two projects. The first project was smaller and Mike the carpenter came out and did a wonderful job. He was pleasant and you could tell he was experienced. Normally when I have a good experience, then a bad experience, reviews are balanced out. I know things happen and generally I give the company the benefit of the doubt. However, in this case, EcoBuild’s behavior and performance was so bad, nothing could bring it above 1 star. The company was hired to replace a window, install new drywall on a ceiling and wall and replace some trim. My initial project manager Jeff (who quit before everything went down hill) was responsive knowledgeable and very friendly. When Jeff left, everything started going down hill. My next project manager was Jeremy who was probably the worst person I have ever dealt with at a company in my entire life. For the weeks leading up to the project, getting a straight answer from him was impossible. I would ask him 3 or 4 questions and consider myself lucky if he half replied to one of them. In no less than 10 attempts I could never get a confirmation whether the correct window was ordered. It got so bad that just before work was to begin, I called the company and said I would cancel the project if he was my project manager any longer. Jeff came out and said Mike would take over. Mike is a nice person but very overwhelmed. I can only imagine it is due to conducting damage control for shoddy work. On the first day, the crew showed up without a window. In fact, they didn’t have any materials or even a truck to carry materials. They left for Home Depot and several hours later showed up with the materials strapped to the roof of a SUV. I was very busy with meetings that day so the crew installed the drywall and I didn’t give it a detailed look until they left. I was in shock! There wasn’t a single full sheet! They cut every piece of drywall and there were gaps that ranged between 1/2” to over 1 inch between the sheets and the walls. They actually cut the drywall around the baseboard trim rather than removing it! Clearly the crew had never hung drywall before. Ultimately, I had them remove all of the drywall; no amount of taping and muding was going to make that look good. The window was the only remaining item and I was hesitant on even having them do that work, but they agreed to send Mike (the previous carpenter) out to install it. As mentioned earlier, I still didn’t have confirmation it was the right window. The next day Mike showed up with… you guessed it Jeremy. Mike was pleasant as usual and just before demo was to begin I asked to confirm the correct window was ordered. We walked downstairs. The window was in Jermey’s truck so I walked over while Mike did something else. To my surprise, Jeremy said “stay the **** away from my truck.” That was the final straw. I asked them to leave after a very heated screaming match in the middle of the parking lot. Management Is totally inept and made no effort to reach out despite several calls and emails describing my bad experience. I suspect there must be so many that there just isn’t time to address all the complaints. I still haven’t received my money back. Not only is this company totally incompetent, but I classify them as thieves for stealing my money. At best, they must be hiring their labor off the street without any reference checks. At worst, this is their regular crew. If you want to take a risk and hire them, at least insist you make the deposit on a credit card so you can dispute it."

"Excellent, Could not have gone any better."

"It was excellent."

"Brad was awesome! He was so kind and sweet. He took care of the drywall and the painting in the closet. Very professional!"

"Work was done quickly like I requested. There was one small section that was left undone. But for that, would have given 5 stars."

"Terrible experience. Dakota was awful at responding to any emails, calls, or texts. We essentially contracted with him and the morning he was supposed to start work, he said he was COVID-positive and would get back to us about rescheduling. We never heard from him or anyone at L&D Construction again. Completely unreliable and unprofessional."
