Great!!!! Immediately returned my call. I gave him make and model number and within the hour he got back to me with a quote along with his availability dates. 2 days later our swing set was assembled and ready for summer fun. Definitely would use again and highly recommended.

Reese gave me an estimate over the phone, confirmed details via email 5 minutes later, arrived exactly on time, went right to work, finished in a timely manner, told me exactly what he did and confirmed I was happy with his work, cleaned everything up, and charged me exactly what his estimate was. Would hire him again.

Reese was awesome. If I could give A+ to everything instead of A I would. He is efficient, accurate, personable and so knowledgeable. Anyone who wants to better understand on their own how to handle these boxfuls of parts and screws just hang around while Reese and his associate are working. He's an excellent teacher as well as handyman. I wouldn't call anyone else in the future.

Reese is a very prompt communicator. He tells you how much it will cost ahead of time to assemble the pieces you have. He arrives when he says he will. He brings blankets to protect your floors. He has the tools and knowledge to assemble the furniture well. He works quietly, cleanly and efficiently. He is a no nonsense person (at least while on the job). He cleans up after himself and leaves your home exactly as it was before his arrival. You can't say much more than that. He drove an hour each way to get to hour house which tells me he values the opportunity to work. I would definitely use him again if the opportunity came up.

I called Reese , he scheduled himself 2 business days later , arrived 5 minutes early. He went over the instructions with me and examined what steps I had prepped. He then put piece-by-piece together , making sure as he went that each piece was ready to work. He scheduled 4 hours and was done in 2!

They put my shed together August 2015. In Spring of 2016, I called to say 2 of the panels had blown off over the winter. I asked if he come and put them back up? He was unavailable. I had to pay someone else for the repairs. It is now spring of 2017. This winter 3 panels came off. I now for the 2nd spring in a row have to have someone come repair the shed. I don't know if they didn't use all the building materials or what the problem is, but It is a nice shed. I just picked the wrong people to put it together.

Service Provider Response

This is an unfair and dishonest review. I assembled your shed in September of 2015. This was a storefront deal. My notes indicate you gave me a $20.00 tip. (which I do not think you would have done if you felt we were unprofessional slobs) In late April of 2016, you reached out to me to repair some panels that had blown off the shed. I made a trip from Glenview to Matteson [around 50 miles one way] to inspect the damage, but you were not there. Since the backyard fence was locked, I was unable to inspect the shed (and my day was wasted). I made several calls to your phone (and the cell-phone records will show that I was in Matteson). You later left me a message saying that you had to go out of town for family issues, and forgot to notify me. I reached out to you again, and I also gave you the contact information for my assistant who lives in nearby Dolton. You never reached out to either of us. These sheds are made of plastic and vinyl with a metal skeleton. They are not indestructible. The Chicago area has seen very severe weather over the last few years. My job websites are overflowing with people who need repair work for wind related damage to things like; sheds, fences, siding, roofs, etc. We used the materials packaged with the shed. Had we used other material, you would have been billed for that, and you were not billed. It is not a good quality shed. On Amazon, the Duramax 10 x 8 shed has a rating of 3 stars with 16 reviews. On the Home Depot website, it has a rating of 3.3 stars with 13 reviews and only 54% recommending purchase. Also, on the Home Depot website, are a number of other Duramax sheds, all with unfavorable ratings. Panels are probably going to continue to come off (some of the reviewers mentioned that problem). Maybe if the first repair crew had done some extra reinforcing, a second repair crew would not be needed. If the second repair crew does not do any reinforcing, you can expect more panels to come off. If you decide to replace the shed, I wish you, and whatever unfortunate contractor you hire, the best of luck.

This is my second time hiring this company. Mr. Reese arrived on time, very professional. Mr. Reese brought in all the necessary tools and then he started right away. Mr. Reese performed the necessary task in a timely manner. Mr. Reese also cleaned as he went along. Mr. Reese did a wonderful job and I'm very pleased.

Reese and his crew did a great job constructing a platform and assembling our Arrow 10x12 metal storage shed. It was a big job and took a few days, but Reese and his guys hung in there, even on rainy days to get the job done, including installing extra screws and 2 anchor kits.

I have hired Reese many many times over the one year since I moved into my new house and I wish I can hire him full-time! His work knowledge, professionalism, punctuality, etc are all excellent.! He does his research before coming for the job/project and evens follows up after the job is done with any other suggestions and advise. His rate is very very reasonable and his helpers are just as knowledgeable and professionals. He is the BEST!

Extremely satisfied with Reese's work and professionalism. With the help of 2 other guys, Reese spent two full days building an outdoor playset for our son. He was very detail oriented and spent a lot of time organizing all the hardware and really learning all the steps involved. His team was on time every day and worked pretty much non stop until 6pm on both days. Glad I found Reese and will definitely use him again for any handyman type of work.

EXCELLENT! Reese and co-worker arrived on time, fully prepared with tools and such. This is the second time I've used this company and will definitely use it again and highly recommend it. I had 2 mirrors for installation, each weighing approximately 45 lbs. Put Together had all the equipment necessary for installation (i.e., wires, hooks, screws, etc.). In addition to the mirrors I had 10 prints to hang, a table to assemble from Wayfair plus 2 shelving units, all work done within one day, with a guarantee. Put Together also noticed that one of my NEW kitchen cabinet doors was not aligned correctly, they took care of that as well. Did I say I'd use them again? definitely.
