Get matched with top subcontractors in Elmhurst, IL

"Went great! I had CCCM, Inc. put on a new roof and upgrade the front of the house. They completely tore off the old roof, replaced some plywood sheets, added a roof vent to the entire roof, put on the new roof felt, and water barrier 10 feet up the roof from the gutter to help insure against issues caused by ice dams. They installed the upgraded shingles and replaced some of the other required vents on the roof. Also, they came up with a plan to give the front of my house a facelift. This included some new siding and aluminum facing on some of the old wood fasciae so I now don’t have to worry about painting the front of the house. They rebuilt the columns on the front porch which enhanced the drive-by appearance significantly. Further, they replace the shutters on the front and I stained the garage doors. I’ve gotten quite a few compliments about how nice and new the house appears now. I’ve used these guys for many projects on my house over the last 10 years or so. I did a few projects before I first used CCCM and I’m still regretting the workmanship by the prior contractors. These guys prepare a proper and complete proposal. They don’t take shortcuts or try to be the cheapest but suggest exactly what they would do in their own home. Their prices are very competitive, however. They follow best practices when it comes to all the current technical information available and then they do a superior job executing the contract. They show up when they say they will. They clean up after each day's work. They complete the job on time. Then they follow up quickly with any issues that might pop up. They do not just abandon you after they leave. These are great guys to work with. I highly recommend them for any project you want to be done in or around your house or business."

"Steve and his crew exceeded expectations on a tough project.  We asked them to change our system to provide better heating in our finished basement.  They created a third zone for the basement and had to put dedicated ducts into the finished part of that area.  Steve warned us that several pretty good size holes had to be made in the drywall ceiling to work the flexible ducts through to the length of the room.  I anticipated a huge mess, but we were willing to go through that to make the basement more usable in the colder months.  To our surprise, the guys were able to get the job done with only two holes being cut out and they were much smaller than I expected.  Because this was a challenging project, they had to return a number of times work out some kinks, and they did without hesitation.  Steve will tell you that his objective is 100% customer satisfaction - he's not just talking, he's committed to it.  Thanks for the warm basement, Steve!"

"They found that one of the gutters was partially detached and had the parts to be able to also fix that for me."

"Sean came out on Labor Day! Even though my situation wasn't an emergency. He communicated with me before, during and after the service and arrived exactly on time. He explained to me the work he would be doing and answered my questions regarding how my Nest thermostat interfaced with my furnace. I will be using Porterhouse for all my future HVAC needs."

"Slow and carefully in the midst of COVID. Workers were tidy and polite. Small issues. Hardware used to hang one cabinet was left poking through into the dining room. Lighting installed beneath cabinets failed after 9 months."

"The project was estimated to take 8 to 10 weeks and was done in 9. We were very pleased with the quality of the work. From patching and repairing wood floors to installing new kitchen cabinets. Jack, the owner, was very easy to deal with and I would highly recommend them for a project. The project was large and the extras were less than 5% which I felt was well within reason. As the name implies everyone who worked in the house was an employee of his company. No subcontractors."

"I purchased a gas furnace thru Costco. Below is the letter that I wanted to write to Mr. Grimm the owner. The service technician did provide an envelop to mail back to Mr. Grimm, but didn't have the address printed on it so I'm posting it as open letter. 
Dear Mr. Grimm,
 I am writing to you to provide some feedback from my experience as a new customer to your company.
Recently I installed a new Lennox furnace in my house. I went through Costco for this service.  I have to commend you on setting up a through process to ensure high level and consistent service. Big company such as yours can lose the personal touch that owners can provide, but I can appreciate the follow up checks to ensure that quality service is being provided by your employees.
I do have couple of points that I would like to bring to your attention. I received 3 estimates from different companies.  Your estimate was the highest but salesman did offer bundling service. I was on the fence between your company and another, but few days later, salesman called and said that he would offer $300 discount. I told him that I did not like the WiFi thermostat that was being offered. He offered to install iComfort for $100 upcharge. I thought that was a good value so I asked him to stop by to sign the contract.
When the salesman stopped by, and contract was drawn up there were several unexpected changes.
Original estimate had 1 year service plan included, however on contract it was changed to 6 month. Salesman said that was
a promotional offer and that it was superseded by the $300 special.  
Estimate had 10 year labor included as part of warranty. However, during contract signing salesman said that I had to sign up
your VIP program for it to be valid. If not it was only 1 year warranty on labor. This was not what I had expected.
While I wasn?t totally happy with these last minute changes, what upset me the most was change of model number to the contract. The estimate I received was for a 90K BTU unit. However, the signed contract was for a 70K BTU unit. I called the salesman and he stated a mistake was made on the estimate and that he meant 70K BTU.  He further explained that size our house only required 40K BTU and 70K BTU was more than adequate. All the estimates I received from other companies were for 85K or higher.  I told him that this was not acceptable and return and correct the contract. Salesman did return and rewrote the contract and tore up the incorrect old contract. While the salesman was pleasant, this experience soured my impression of your company a bit.
Day before the installation, I didn?t get a call as of 4:30PM or so. I called and confirmed with your office. Within the hour I
received a call confirming the appointment for installation. I guess I was on the list to call but they didn?t get to it until 5:00PM or so. I would recommend calling at least 2 days out so people won?t wonder if appointment is still on.
The morning of installation, office called to say that the technicians had left the office and they are on their way. The installers
showed as scheduled and were very friendly and considerate. They wore the slippers in the house and took care to not to damage the hardwood floor.  After the installation was complete, they cleaned up around the area.  The older technician took time to explain about the system and how to setup the Wifi thermostat. He gave me a packet (had the form letter with another customer?s name) and said that they would appreciate a review on Angie?s List and my experience back to you.   He further explained that an inspector would be by later to inspect their work. I really appreciated this process to ensure that everything was done properly.  Technician called the office and setup an appointment for the inspection.  Overall the technicians were
very professional.
At scheduled time, the inspector showed and gave a nice travel mug. I appreciated the quality gift. I showed the inspector to the
basement.  I turned on couple of overhead lights. He looked at the unit and gave a cursory glance and said that the installation was done well. I pointed out the dime sized hole on the corner right above the furnace. He asked if I signed up for the service program. I told him that I was, to which he said that he would note that for the next service call. I asked him so I should go entire winter with this hole? He thought about a minute and said that he would send someone back to caulk the hole. He then went outside and inspected the air conditioning unit.
I had bit more expectation for the inspection. He didn?t even take out a flashlight to look over the unit.  I had to point out about the hole and he wanted to wait until next service call. I wasn?t too impressed with this quality of inspection.  The same technician who installed the furnace came out and caulked over the hole. I am not an expert but the caulk job seems to be bit messy.  
Overall, I appreciated the thoughtfulness of the whole process and your attempts to control the quality and subsequent checks to
uphold the quality.  As I noted from my experience, although the procedures were followed, there needs to be a bit more scrutiny to ensure that quality is maintained.

"Professionally installed wiring and Ethernet plates. Highly recommend!"

"A to Z was wonderful, from the estimator's visit, through the re-wiring.    We were so tired of circuits popping and electrical outlets not working.   Now we have a new  electrical box, there's power in the garage, and the process went quickly and with a minimum of mess.
We added a couple of minor changes (installing a new fan) and they were happy to do it.   I liked the fact it was a family-run business, and that that people that came out worked for A to Z, not a sub contractor.    Thank you!
