The water abatement wall was not in Dan's wheelhouse and ended up not working at all, so we weren't able to get the lower cracks fixed. Dan poured us a very nice cap to the seawall and widened it so that it could be walked on. He also created a notch for our pier to be mounted in. He was able to fix a couple of heavily damaged spots above the water line and one significant crack in the seawall. The problem is with the cracks that he wasn't able to fix. Those cracks propagated up into the new cap almost immediately which is unfortunate. Overall, Dan has extremely good pricing and his flatwork looks excellent. I'm disappointed that the repairs didn't take place when the water level was low enough because it diminishes what would be an otherwise beautiful job. The quality mark is really a B+ or an A-, but Angie's List doesn't allow those. We have patio and driveway work that we will definitely have Dan do when the time comes, so this overall B review isn't really as negative as it might seem. I think dealing with the water was probably too much for Dan, but everything else is fine. I would recommend Molnar Construction for your concrete work.

So we contacted Jeff Pokryfke of Appletree Development in our hometown of Minooka. Jeff came right out to look over the site and called a day or so later with his estimate. Because our yard is sloped and sometimes collects water in the area we wanted the shed, he recommended a concrete foundation. Although the estimate was a bit more than we had planned on, when we considered that it included exactly the size and height we wanted, all the labor and materials,as well as the concrete, it really did seem reasonable (especially compared to what we had seen at the stores. We went ahead and Jeff build a 10 x 8 shed with 10 ft high walls, a gambrel roof with a window, double doors, and the concrete foundation, finished with fiberboard siding, cedar trim, and a shingled roof. It looks great! He also put in a large upper storage area. We were very impressed with the quality of the work, his timeliness in completing it, and his communication at each point in construction. Additionally, I really like how he thoroughly cleaned up the worksite - no stray nails, boards, trash, etc. left behind. We will definitely be calling him again when we are ready to remodel our two bathrooms.

I went ahead and paid and they promised to finish up the next 10% with in the next few days. As they had my trust, we hired them to build us a deck too. THey asked for half down again and then never reappeared. First there were excuses, but then they stopped taking our calls. They never finished the garage and never came to build a deck. We eventually hired a lawyer, spending even more money. Even though we won, we've never seen any money. It was a big disappointment. I consider this stealing!

The crew showed up just after nine A.M. We had given notice to residents that all cars must be off the lot by 8:00. The final car cleared the lot abou 15 minutes before the crew arrived so they were able to set up and begin. The area near the street was in deplorable condition. The areas...

SS Builders were great. The guys all showed up on time (or early) and were very polite and efficient. The roof was replaced very quickly and they were able to make accommodations for a pool party that my daughter was hosting ( the timing was unfortunate but we took the installation date...
We contracted with Dan at the end of September 2013 to perform repairs to our seawall. Our lake fluctuates in height significantly during the year and we wanted the repairs done in the fall because the lake was low. In fact, in October of that year, the seawall was exposed all the way down...

"Our Larson storm door closer was caught by the wind and ripped the bracket away from the exterior door frame. Chris Engle promptly arrived when he said he would. Polite and professional, he accessed the damage and told me what he could do on the spot for the least amount of money. Not a pretty job for what he had to work with unless we wanted to replace the whole door and frame, but he made our exterior door and storm door useable. He also installed a wind chain on the storm door for added protection."

FAQs for treehouse building projects in Galesburg, IL
The average cost to hire a handyman ranges from about $40 to $140 per hour. Average project cost ranges between $180 and $700, but the cost per hour and per project depends heavily on the type, size, and complexity of the project. The pro’s experience level and your location also factor into how much a handyman charges per hour or per project. You can also expect to pay higher rates or additional fees for emergency services, or around periods of high customer demand, like holidays.
One starting point to find a local home builder is to collect suggestions from friends and neighbors. However, it’s still wise to do some more research before you hire a builder. Read reviews to supplement any word-of-mouth recommendations. Check sources like Angi that have standards and criteria in place to screen the pros it lists can also help you find more reputable local home builders.
Typically, it’s more affordable to buy an existing home than it is to build a new one. New construction loan interest rates tend to be higher than interest rates for traditional mortgages. Additionally, the cost of materials is likely higher when building a new home than it was when an existing home was built (unless it’s a very new one). You’re also paying for all new appliances, finishes, permits, inspections, and connections for water, gas, and electricity.
Knowing if you need an architect for your project can be tricky, especially if you've never worked with one before. In general, small remodeling projects like replacing fixtures typically don't require the expertise of an architect. However, larger projects, like moving walls or adding an addition to your home, should include an architect to ensure the project is structurally sound.
The cost to build a detached garage for two cars costs about $26,400 on average. Prices range from $19,200 to $33,600, depending on your location, the garage size, height, materials, and site prep required. Additional cost factors include any plumbing, electrical wiring, and insulation. If you need to build a concrete foundation for a new detached garage, you can expect to pay $1,000 to $8,600 for this essential addition.
