Factory Plaza is your place for kitchen cabinets and countertops needs. We can make new cabinets, refinish your doors, fabricate granite, marble or quartz countertops. Factory Plaza is one of the largest manufacturers of kitchen cabinets in the Midwest. We make our own brand American Wood Cabinets. We are a leader in the granite, marble & quartz fabrication and installation industry. Factory Plaza creates immaculate kitchen countertops, islands, bars, bathroom vanities, fireplaces. We provide quality, service and value beyond compare. Factory Plaza has earned a very good reputation over years: A+ rating from BBB, Angie’s List Super Service Awards, Best of Houzz Awards, and over a thousand 5-star reviews across the web. Factory Plaza is a family-owned business headquartered in Bensenville, IL. Here, at Factory Plaza our customers are our neighbors, our friends, and our business partners.

"I am a repeat customer over last 6 years. I am disheartened by issues encountered with my recent countertop order (originally placed in June) from Factory Plaza and the subsequent handling by their employee/PM. I ordered a stone countertop for a 36-inch sink base cabinet, specifying sink and faucet cutouts and an industry-standard overhang. This was a very simple order. Here is a summary of the problems encountered and specifically attributable to the Project Manager: Sink Cutout Issue: I provided a sink template for the countertop cutout and was billed accordingly. Instructed to pick up the countertop, it lacked the sink cutout.  PM had not provided fabrication team with the sink template. Countertop was not ready and was sent back to fabrication. Faucet Cutout Issue: Advised to bring in the sink for an accurate cutout. Upon another pickup attempt, discovered that the faucet cutout was missing. Countertop sent back to fabrication. Overhang Issue: Advised to pick up the countertop, it was discovered that it was an inch short due to missing industry-standard overhang. These repeated errors indicate a severe lack of due diligence and attention to detail. Factory Plaza has been negligent and uncompromising and failed to accurately document and follow through with the specified requirements. I have previously had successful experiences with different Project Managers employed by Factory Plaza, including: - Full kitchen countertop fabrication and installation - Outdoor bar countertop fabrication and installation - Custom bathroom vanity and countertop fabrication and installation - Laundry room countertop fabrication with customer provided measurements (Same order request as in this formal complaint.) Issues with this particular project highlight a significant lapse in service quality, stemming from PM's inadequate management. These missteps have delayed the project and resulted in additional inconvenience and frustration."

The Dillman Brothers is a commercial and residential builder, renovator, repairer and installer of roofs, siding, windows, garage doors, gutters, screen rooms, handrails, retractable screens and more with locations in Urbana, IL and Bloomington, IL who has been serving Champaign, IL, Bloomington, IL, Peoria, IL and their surrounding areas since 1972. Additional DBA - The Renovators. Additional contact name - Scott Dillman. Additional service areas: Paxton, Fisher & Tuscola

"Installed roof on new construction home. 1 yr later several problems and signs of leaking. The roof has many low nails, some very low nails and some of those are blown all the way through. There are shingles missing right at the valley and have been missing for a while, the felt is not black at all anymore. There are probably 40 holes through the shingles where the siding installers nailed their pump jacks through the roof. There is a snow valley on the west side of the home where the valley is backwards allowing water to run underneath the snow valley. There are several face nails throughout the roof that were never sealed. There are a few face nails that serve no purpose where someone may have shot a nail gun on accident and did not replace the shingle. Overall the roof has many areas that need addressed. Contractor not taking responsibility. Would NEVER recommend!!"

Handyman Services questions, answered by experts

The appeal of hiring a handyperson is two-fold: first, they usually cost less than hiring certified experts, and second, they complete a massive variety of projects, ranging from installing light fixtures and fixing plumbing leaks to refinishing wood floors and replacing doors in your home. Provided the job doesn’t require a specific license to complete—like a plumber’s license or electrician’s license—a handyperson will likely be able to tackle the work. Handypeople have a broad range of home improvement experience, so professionals can usually handle any project in your home that doesn’t need to be done by a licensed tradesperson.

If a contractor is in breach of your contract, sometimes it is possible to collect damages for unreasonable delays. However, such claims can be expensive and difficult to prove. If there’s a way to complete the work and maybe negotiate for a discount for some of the inconvenience, that might be a simpler and cheaper way to resolve any disputes.

The average handyperson charges $50 to $150 per hour. The exact amount varies based on several factors, including where you live, the difficulty of the job, and the handyperson’s level of experience. Other factors like the cost of travel, permits, and materials might come into play, too. Customers should also anticipate a minimum flat rate of around two hours of work for a handyperson to agree to a job.

Using a pro guarantees correct tools and expertise, preventing potential household mishaps.

In most states, handypeople do not need to be licensed to perform simple home repair tasks and smaller jobs. When projects exceed specific cost amounts, however, ranging from $500 in California to $50,000 in other states, some municipalities consider them to be contractors, meaning they need to be licensed. To learn if your handyperson should be licensed to work on your job, contact your local governing body or state contractors’ licensing board before starting any work.
