First of all, these guys were patient with me because I had to reschedule and was very limited in my window of time to perform the work. John worked with me and was patient with me as well. I had a ceiling on my second floor that an electrician cracked by stepping on it from the attic. The ceiling is textured plaster which is very, very difficult to patch. I also had a hole in a wall where I had removed a motion sensor for my alarm system. John sent Scott over to take a look at the job and let me know if my $99 coupon for 3 hours of work would cover it. Scott said he could do it, but it would be close. When the date came, Scott came on time and worked almost 4.5 hours! He draped off the entire area around the ceiling being repaired and was very professional. His attention to detail was astounding. I hope John and Scott read this and know that I consider the work Scott did an act of artistry. He repaired the crack to the point where I cannot even tell that the plaster had even been damaged!! The fact that he stayed 4.5 hours instead of just doing the ceiling and leaving the hole in the wall was proof that he and John take their business seriously. I was not charged for the additional time, but when I call them back for more work, I intend on taking care of Scott because this type of contractor is a rare find and they deserve to be recognized and appreciated. If any other member is looking for this type of service, look no further than COUNTRY LIVING CONSTRUCTION.
Description of Work: Repaired a plaster ceiling and patched a hole in a textured wall.

Two carpenters came and stayed approx 6.5 hours. They had to remove drywall in our garage ceiling to gain access to the 2nd floor bedroom and also remove drywall to gain access to underneath the stairs. After using glue and screws they were able to successfully stop the squeaking. They then redrywalled and used tape/mud to repair the areas that were affected. I couldn't be more happier-I would definitely use their services again!
Description of Work: Repaired "squeaks" in a 2nd floor bedroom and hallway and also several steps leading up to the 2nd floor.

Country Living Construction did a wonderful job.
Description of Work: Country Living Construction did a wonderful job. They did multiple drywall repairs for us throughout the house. Plus caulked and painted our entire downstairs baseboards. A task I meant to do years ago but never did! They did a professional job. We definitely would recommend them. It was great to have so many "to-do's" done and off the list.

See above. I noticed that I have not been receiving any Angie's List Deals lately, I would like to start receiving e-mails of the deal. Thanks
Description of Work: I had purchased the cupon several monthes ago knowing that I wanted them to do one last job on some remodeling I was doing in my home. The company contacted me reminding me that the cupon was going to expire and to please contact them so that they could find out what kind of work I had wanted. The other work in the house was taking longer than I thought but finally finishied a couple of weeks before the cupon expired. We made a connection and I told them that I wanted a front door knob instaled along with a dead bolt. For some reason he told me that he would have to see picture of the door knob before he was willing to make the "3 hour trip from their office" (in fairness, he wanted to make sure he had the right tools) Anyway, his office is not 3 hours from my home, I have made the journey many times to the city where he works from and he kept going on about how he needed to see the door knob before he would commit. Well, I thought that it was slightly rediculous that he was making such a big deal about having to come all the way to my house and he wasn't sure about installing a door knob and dead bold that I ended up never using the coupon.

Gurnee to Warrenville is nearly an hour and a half one way trip, basically out of our service area. Asking for a picture of the door was not unreasonable. We are willinig to extend the expiration date to complete the project to an area we do not service as long as I know what the project is. Again this is for a 2 hour handyman service. We apologise for any miscommunications.

We needed to replace a suspended ceiling in the basement of our home. The home was contracted in 1967 and has low height clearances -- and as in many older homes -- very little in the way of level floors or walls. We purchased coupon for a day of Handyman Services to get the job started. John visited our home to review the work we wanted done -- we agreed on the scope of the project and soon had a date scheduled for work to start. I removed the old ceiling and bought the materials for the new one. Gene and Scott showed up promptly on the scheduled date and over two days worked within very tight clearances to install a beautiful new ceiling. They cleaned up each day and were very tolerant of our new kitten's desire to help with the project. During the construction I found a great deal on two interior doors and added their installation to the project. The new doors go great with the ceiling and both were finished with exceptional attention to detail. I have already recommended Countryside to some friends thinking about a project and would bring them back to my house as well.

Country Living was excellent: timely in appointment setting and follow-through, neat in their work, up front about estimates (and accurate to them!), and forthright in their recommendations on other activities or work they might recommend. We will definitely consider them for a planned future remodeling effort, as they evidenced the kind of integrity and commitment to excellence in their work we like and respect.
Description of Work: Country Living completed repair and restoration of a utility room sink, including replacement of the plumbing fixturing and adjustment to the inset sink and counter top. They also completed patch repair on a garage (cement) floor at the juncture where the door flange meets the cement to minimize air seepage. They removed old and applied new weatherstripping on all outside doors, including re-hanging two of them to adjust for minor house settling. They adjusted door knobs and ordered new hardware for one knob that required it.

We called in the morning and were surprised that someone was available to do it the same day. He came out a couple hours later, was very neat and professional and cleaned up after himself. The only negative that I have is that they weren't clear about which materials were included in their "Big Deal". It said that inexpensive materials not including drywall were included, but at the end they tried to charge us for the plaster used.

John Michael, from Country Living Construction arrived on time and immediately began working on my projects. The wall sconces needed modifications in order to be installed and John knew exactly what to do to get them working. He also gave good advice on other things like having dimmers installed and what light bulbs would give optimum lighting in the area. After one project was completed he cheerfully went on to tackle the next project. He was very conscientious about each and every project treating them as if they were all very important. He patiently answered all of my questions and explained what he was doing on each project. Overall he did an excellent job and I would definately like to have him back to work on other projects.
Description of Work: I had four wall sconces installed, a pantry light installed, a shower head installed, outlets rewired and installed,three doorknobs installed, and two smoke detectors installed.

We needed tile and wallboard repair in one of our showers. John took notes on this and did attic repairs. Unfortunately, he recommended an entire bathroom remodel. He sent a very professional estimate dated 12-14-2011, which totaled $3,905.00. He and his company did call back a few times over the following months. We were unable to afford anything more than repair on the tiles at that time and felt we didn't want to continue to tie up his time and travel over the longer than normal distance to our home. We would consider working with Country Living Construction Group Limited within the scope and parameters of what we need and can afford at that time.

no work done.... John came to my home to give me a estimate on repairing my bay window andI planned on using the Big Deal 2 hours purchased thru Angies List. He told me that he would need his employee to advise him on whether the window could be repaired or whether I needed to be replace the window. John walked around my home and advised my on other home repairs I needed and sent me a estimate of $2900.00 for misc work I needed done. Country Living called me shortly after that to see if I wanted any of the work done from estimate. I said no and would call them back to use my 2 hours for Big Deal. I later called Country Living to use my 2 hours of Handyman work and I did not get a call back.
