"Mr Baugh was to follow this challenging procedure of removing and replacing one opening door with inset window grids and updating the entire casement and stationary door. I was able to keep my better built older door! And save money too! Excellent work from Mr Baugh"

"Excellent job.  My wife was very concerned because we had a graduation party in just 2 weeks. 
Pawel was able to start within 3 days of his estimate and they finished the
work just 4 days after they began.  They even worked over the weekend. 
They were very clean, polite, and I felt very safe with them working with just
the nanny and our kids at home.  I've already contracted him for future
work at my apartment building and I plan to continue to use his team in the
future.

"Regency did a fantastic job from start to finish. Terry was our main contact and I cannot say enough about her attention to detail and keeping us well informed throughout the process. The work quality was top notch - great experience."

"Cesar did an amazing job!!!!  Not only was he at our scheduled estimate at exactly 1:30 pm (the time we agreed upon), but he arrived at the job at 8 am, not one second late and ready to work .  He painted my living room, back entryway, hallway, 2 closet doors, my front door, the trim in my living room, hall way and back entry way, installed dry wall in my bedroom ceiling and painted my ceiling.  I have had several people comment on how amazing it looks and one of my friends even asked for his number.  Cesar is the only guy I will have paint my home.  He is professional & just an all around nice guy.  Use Montessori Painting you won't regret it!!!

"In 2017, when I was looking to purchase a house in the Rockford area that was needing a full siding install I contacted GF Company in Belvidere. IL, who I found on Angie’s list and at that time GF Co had great reviews. Strangely enough these great reviews are no longer to be found on Angie’s List. It should also be noted there is a GF Siding in Cherry Valley. IL, this is Not the company that I did business with. Ariel Zmijewski (the owner) got me a quote quickly and I decided to purchase the house. A few months later in July 2017, I contacted Ariel again to discuss the finer points of the quote, the price was revised slightly and the Ariel mentioned that once a deposit was paid work could start 6-8 weeks later, but said the install would be finished before the cold weather arrived. I started creating a color layout and Ariel provided some feedback on what would work and not work. To this point I was very happy with progress. In September 2017 I paid a deposit of over $8k (about 44% of final price) and awaited updates for a start date. Nothing happened. In early March 2018 I contacted GF Co by phone stating that I had been very patient and they had had $8k as a deposit for the last 6 months and I had nothing to show for it. After a couple more calls and emails Ariel showed up with his foreman Mark and they said that work would start in the middle of the following week. Much to my surprise the work started on time. Over the course of the next 4 weeks Mark and his crew worked hard, only missing a few days due to bad weather, I even agreed to having some extra work done by the team, some wooden entrance steps that needed replacing for an additional $2.5k. By early May 2018 the job was finished the house looked great and I was very happy with the work and appearance and was getting compliments from neighbors too. The balance of owed of over $10k was paid with 48 hours of the work being finished. Again I was happy with work done, until… A few months after the install a TV cable box started having troubles. Cut a long story short the wall socket died because cable was suddenly defective, also the crew had moved the exterior cable input box and this didn’t help the issue. Comcast fixed it, but I now have an exterior cable showing and they had to drill through the siding. Then around Halloween 2018, less than six months after having the install completed, I noticed that a piece of siding (6ft approx.) had become detached underneath a window, trying to pop it back into place did not resolve the issue. After checking all the other exterior windows I noticed 1 other window was about to do the same thing. I called the GF Company main number and left a message with the receptionist for Ariel to contact me. No response. I called again a couple of times and left more messages still no response. In March 2019 siding problem under windows still Not fixed, I called GF Company again, no answer, and no voice mail. I called a couple more times on different days still no answer or voice mail. I then sent an email to the company and to my surprise I received a response from Ariel stating this was the first that he had heard of it. About a week later (3/26/19) he showed up at my house to view the problem. Ariel stated that he would get someone over to fix the problem, but would not give me a date or time. On 4/2/19 I emailed Ariel again asking for confirmation of a repair date ? Nothing but crickets… On 4/30/19, I sent another email to Ariel requesting that the repairs be completed before the end of May 2019, again no response. Quote / contract says: Customers will receive a Lifetime Warranty on Material and Workmanship Reported GF Company to Illinois BBB on 6/5/19."

"My daughter recommended them to take care of these stubborn weeds i have in my yard. My lawncare I usually use didn't want to do it so A & Sons did and he was very friendly and did an overall amazing job. Very hard worker."

"We started working with IDEA back in the fall of 2010 for designs for a remodel/addition to our 1950's Cape Cod.  The designs were done by one of the original partners of the firm and we could not have been more pleased.  He really took into account our desire to maintain the overall feel of the house and the charm as well as creative ways to re-purpose existing space.
Construction on the house started in April of 2011 and was originally supposed to take 6 months.  We ended up being out of our house for 7 months but most of the delays were due to weather issues at the very beginning of the project.  Also, mid-way through the project, Peter (the architect who did our drawings) left the company to move out of the country.  Marty and Angela did scramble at first trying to pick up the pieces in Peter's absence but eventually, things sorted themselves out and we honestly have nothing but good things to say about them!  They were incredibly responsive to our requests and concerns, Angela provided excellent guidance with design, color, style etc. on decisions that we easily could have been overwhelmed with.  She has a wonderful taste level!  Any time we had issues with how construction was progressing, Marty quickly responded, met with us and made sure things were fixed to our satisfaction.  He is also one of the genuinely nicest people we have ever met!  
It's been several months now since the project has been completed and we could not be more pleased.  Any kind of construction/remodeling on your house is stressful but in retrospect, Marty and Angela were great to work with and we would definitely recommend them, and IDEA to anyone considering a remodel or addition.  They were great!"

"The lawncare provided was outstanding, because in addition to their punctuality and quality service, the lawn service team not only weeded the beds but also turned over the mulch in all beds. Nice touches like this is consistent with the increasing level of service received from VM Landscaping."

"They did a great job. There were additional charges. They told me that they would bring it all but they never mentioned there was an extra fee. The big deal was $199 but I paid $63.50 more. They were really nice and professional. I would like to hire them again. It was odd that they never mentioned the extra charges. Initially when I bought the deal, I called them right away. I said "Hey, can I schedule an appointment for painting?" and he said "Well, I have to come and look at the area first." I said "Okay." He came and looked at the area and told me how much paint to buy which occurred to me that I didn't buy enough paint if he didn't come to look at it first. He was here for 5-10 minutes. He was nice enough. He said that he will get me on the schedule. He said "I'm not ready within two to three weeks. I will call you back." At that point, he got busy with everybody else. It took from whatever the day was to the month the deal was sold, it took two weeks from that to get an appointment. I emailed him four times and called him for three to four times. He apologized too, when he called me back. He said "I'm sorry, I've been busy." He said "Don't worry about the expiration date. I'm still going to honor it." Everything worked out fine. I think the work looks great, honestly. One thing that's my fault, if and when we have them come back. Our paint colors are really similar. One of the walls that he painted is completely the wrong color and it doesn't match the rest of the walls in the room."

"I bought a deal on Angies Big Deal.
Scheduling went well.
They were a bit late showing up to the job but not a big deal.
The father was very responsive and assertive.  The son did what he asked.
The light was installed with a gap between the fixture and the brick wall, which they informed me of after they were done with all of my work. They told me to go buy silicone from Home Depot, which I did but the gap was so large (1" or more) that silicone won't work.  It was a real problem because there is electrical there and with weather, water/snow would easily get back there.   
The PVC work was done well, and it wasn't exactly an easy thing to address.
Understanding this is a handyman service, i was still surprised at some of the things they were asking me to supply to do the work.  It felt like they were essentially just labor without relevant tools.
I also felt uncomfortable with them in general from a personality standpoint.
