Get matched with top contractors in La Grange, IL

"The contractors were very kind & professional. The job was done in a timely matter & top notch."

"I purchased the caulking and drywall repair deals from JT Contractors and I am so pleased with the service. Chuck and Richard were consummate professionals in their approach and their demeanor. They arrived on-time, listened attentively to what I wanted performed, asked questions for clarification on caulk color, and went about completing the work.The tubs, sinks and walls look absolutely beautiful. I will definitely use JT Contractors again. In fact, I requested an estimate for some interior painting and I look forward to enjoying the results of that work as well.

"We hired Jeremy to finish our basement and we couldn't be happier. He was always up front and communicative. He offered great suggestions and went above and beyond to make our basement perfect! It's nice to have a dependable and knowledgeable contractor we can call for future needs. Jeremy will be out go to for anything we need done moving forward!!"

"I first contacted Angelo In December due to his Special Deal. At that time he came over and gave me a sort of cursory in-home inspection, following it up with an offer to do everything I wanted (which at that point included replacing the floor but not the new corner) for $10K. I put his offer aside and collected more offers, all of which were much higher. In February I contacted him again and asked him about his offer; he replied that he would need to come back over because he could not remember the property well. This time--with the new corner and no floor, and with new appliances included--he quoted me 14K, still by far the lowest I had seen. I accepted.
Two weeks later, in March, he began. At the time, he said things would take about two weeks. They took six. To be fair, some of that delay is not altogether his fault: he had originally thought to replace the soffits, only to discover upon starting to remove them that they house vents. (I did wonder, though, why he had not checked that before ordering cabinets.) It took an extra ten days for new cabinets to be built, as Angelo's cabinets are all made to order.
When work was done, it was generally done well. He was entirely amenable to the selections we made for appliances, for the granite countertops, for the backsplash, for the faucet, etc., and his people did a good job installing them. I'd love to say the same about the installation of the cabinets themselves--and for the most part I can--but there were issues I don't quite understand: why some doors were not installed properly, why the two lazy susan cabinets were both filled with construction dust that I needed to clean up after the fact, etc. I also don't really understand why the twin patches on the soffit walls were never sanded down (and still are not, as I am going to need to throw a tarp over my entire kitchen to do so).
I am writing a lot of complaints, and I guess it sounds as if I am really unhappy when that is not actually the case. I am very happy with my new kitchen. Every time I go into it I smile. The cabinets are lovely, the granite is beautiful, the backsplash is perfect, the appliances are wonderful: it is exactly right (other than what I speak of here). But if you are going to use Angelo, you need to understand what you'll be getting.
He is a very nice man, and he does good work. But he has a few problems that are the reason I would not use him again. First and foremost is communication: the number of phone calls and emails that went unanswered became extremely frustrating. It did help a little that I made the discovery that Maria, who works in his office, is actually his daughter--she accidentally copied me on a family message--so I could bug her more personally than I otherwise would have to get after him, but still that should not have to happen. When he does respond, his English is very fractured and he composes messages on iPhone apparently using the voice to text command, so it's often an adventure making any meaning of what he writes.  This is one actual email:
we're at hour home, can't need be tomorrow or at 10:0 /11: am or next Saturday
Another problem, which is different but in some ways also a facet of communication, is the fact that he changes schedules without alerting us of the changes. Huge example: appliance delivery. He ordered the appliances from Abt and told us they would be delivered on a Thursday morning. His backsplash guys were working on the same day. When the appliance guys came, the backsplash guys were nearing a break but not there yet. The appliance guys asked if they could do another delivery in the area and come back afterwards; of course I said that was fine. It was about noon. The day wore on...and on...and on...and they did not come back. Eventually I called Abt, around 5:00, wondering where the heck they were. I was told they were scheduled for delivery on Friday, and they had never been scheduled for Thursday at all. Impossible! I told them. They were actually here already today! Abt told me they didn't know what to say and I should call my contractor, so I did. Angelo, when he got back to me, told me that he had canceled the delivery because he didn't think the backsplash would be dry enough.
That's just one example. He did things like that a lot: saying a thing would happen on a Wednesday so we'd wait for someone who never showed up. Sometimes it was Angelo himself we waited for who did not show up and did not call. AS I WRITE THIS I am still waiting for him to return to fix a hinge on a cabinet that he has told me several times he would be here to fix and has not shown up for. 
I like Angelo. I think he is a fair man who ultimately does good work. But my husband and I also found it very, very difficult to work with him at times, and if we had this to do again I think we would have made a different choice.

"Wentworth Construction - Mike Crispo and his crew were outstanding in every way in building my 800 sq ft home addition. Very trustworthy - met every commitment. Outstanding planning and communications. Met schedule. And the best quality I have seen in 50 years working with contractors. Very reasonably priced . I would highly recommend them for any work where you need high quality from a trustworthy pro."

"Joe and his guys were on time, professional and know there stuff. Im a contractor and Im glad they will work with me on many projects in the future."

"Matt and his team helped renovate my entire condo. Everything was updated... HVAC, electrical, plumbing and even all the walls were replaced with new ones. New floors, new kitchen, new appliances. I am so incredibly happy with the outcome and the attention to all the details. I am so thankful Matt and his guys worked on my home!"

"Beat the prices of all competing contractors."

"Everything went well from the minute I called to get an estimate, I felt so comfortable, I had a million questions, I was lil nervous because I have hired contractors in the past, and was ripped off, but from start to finish Imperial 1 made sure I was informed and happy with the work they did. I felt better knowing they wanted to make sure my project came out just to my liking"

"Simply put, you will NOT find a better, more honest, more helpful, more easy-to-work-with, reasonably priced contractor than John Lee and his crew at J & K Home Improvement & Restoration! We had a "complicated" set of circumstances when our home was damaged by a storm, last winter. The insurance company sent out an estimator to assess the damage and, after the company recommended J & K Home Improvement & Restoration, I was introduced to John Lee. I eventually learned that John also does estimates for a variety of insurance companies (because his company is so well regarded), and he patiently listened as I described the nuances associated with our house. During our initial consultation, he was able to clearly describe all of the steps that would be necessary and answer all of our questions. Long story short, not only was John able to address EVERY single concern and request that we had regarding the eventual repairs to the house (including roof, siding, and a window upgrade that would have cost much more if we had done it at a later time), but he spent plenty of extra time making sure that everything we had talked about was addressed to our 100% satisfaction! He was also able to persuade the insurance company to cover more complete repairs than was originally specified by the first adjuster! In addition, when we had an electrical "hiccup" associated with all the pounding on the walls, John quickly sent an expert electrician to locate and correct the problem. He absolutely could have passed those charges on to us because the failure wasn't due to any mistake on the part of his crew but, instead, he picked up the unanticipated expense himself. It was truly a pleasure to work with John! He made a difficult situation as easy to manage as possible, and we would strongly recommend J & K Home Improvement & Restoration to anyone who wants to hire a quality contractor that stands behind their work and well-earned reputation!"
