I have worked with Tom on two jobs at my house in Libertyville. A master bath in 2019, and a hall bath in 2021. I have nothing but good things to say - very knowledgable, prompt communication, respectful of the house, excellent results, and generally pleasant to work with. I would absolutely recommend him.

Excellent job!!!! Tom Mordini contracting saved my day. I had a basement that was stuck from the 1950s that needed to be remodeled. Tom and his team came in and got it down to the studs. We had picked out exactly how we wanted to re-design the area and Tom was nothing but Helpful with creative ideas. The basement was finished much faster than expected. Tom was always extremely professional and very knowledgeable and accommodating. Sometimes these situations can be stressful but Tom was a joy to work with. helpful with creative ideas.

This is the second time that we have used Mordini General Contracting for major projects in our home. The first was a full basement renovation following a flood that resulted in significant water damage throughout. Following water remediation and demolition, we asked Tom (Mordini) to handle the full and complete remodel. He is extremely knowledgeable and experienced, and was able to provide sound recommendations based on our vision for the space. In some instances, he discouraged us based on potential long-term concerns (our home was built in 1953) but always had an alternative solution to help us meet a specific need. Tom is very hands-on in all aspects of the work and kept us informed every step of the way. He is punctual, thorough, hard-working and makes substantial progress on a daily basis despite being a small operation. His dry wall expert, Nelson, is a magician and the finished product is exceptional. We are thrilled with the outcome of our basement remodel and our three boys have spent the majority of their free time down there since the minute the work was completed. Based on that first experience with Tom and Mordini General Contracting, we recently hired him to complete a remodel of a full bath and repair of a second room. Mold remediation left our bathroom and part of one bedroom without a ceiling and insulation, and with damaged walls and cracked tile. Again, Tom came in completely remade the space. He worked closely with us on our selection of materials and made recommendations based on his decades of experience. As with any project, unexpected issues always come up but Tom takes the time to discuss those and provides options on how to deal with them. In both instances, once Tom started our project he remained diligent until that project was completed in a timely and professional fashion. Our initial “introduction” to Mordini Contracting was through Angie’s List and he immediately noticed the tremendously strong reviews and consistently high ratings year after year. We are pleased to add our review to the list and recommend Tom for any of your home projects without hesitation.

Outstandingly well. Great service and always on time! The work quality was perfect. In the few cases where some cabinetry was incorrect they dealt with the dealer and resolved it with no involvement from me at all.

I am retired after 46 years being a consulting engineer in the construction industry and found Tom Mordini to be a stickler for details and quality of workmanship far above the standards in this field. He was most affable in his personal conduct and on time as to construction time lines. Highly recommend his firm for any general contracting work. He does have a gift of gab with some interesting tales of his life and work anecdotes. Most enjoyable fellow.

Mordini Contracting did a fabulous job. Tom Mordini was great to work with. He made suggestions, listened to our ideas and then blended everything together seamlessly. He told us he could get almost everything done in 3 months. We laughed. In 3 months, everything he promised - and more - was done and done beautifully. Even with minor changes, Tom managed to get things done on time. Tom and his crew were punctual and cleaned up as best they could every day. They made a difficult process as easy as possible. We would absolutely hire Mordini Conctracting again!

"SUPER people to work for and I'm extremely pleased they love the final outcome. Master bathroom we also incorporated a heated shower seat with a heated shower floor & general floor. But I'm really happy the way we converted a seldom used neglected 3 season sunroom to a fully functioning living space."

I hired Tom to do a full basement re-finish job and was extremely satisfied with his work. Tom is a true professional with expert knowledge of his craft. He oversaw the complete project with a detailed eye and an emphasis on the quality of work - which was outstanding! He coordinated both the painting and carpet sub-contractors seamlessly and made certain my wife and I were happy with the work. It was a large job but Tom handled it easily and I wouldn't hesitate to hire him again. I highly recommend!

Working with Tom was one of the best home improvement experiences we have had. I had read his reviews on Angie’s list and was impressed with the many positive reviews there . I am happy to add ours to the list. He was totally reliable, trustworthy, meticulous and , as a previous reviewer had mentioned, very attentive to keeping our dog and cat safe!! We are extremely pleased with how our bathrooms turned out and I enjoyed Tom’s humor and conversation each morning! I would definitely hire him for any future project we may have and give him a double thumbs up recommendation !
Response from Mordini General Contracting
"Great couple really enjoyed working for them even though she was a internet research-aholic :) This is why I dislike the internet, opinion reviews on things that really aren't an issue like an existing tub drum trap that was working for 50 years and have been used for 100's, you get one person that had a problem and they become an expert. End of day things worked out and the bathrooms came out looking fantastic."

Tom was extremely professional and the work he performed was amazing. Throughout the remodel process Tom was extremely helpful in giving my wife and I recommendations/suggestions on how best to style/configure the remodel and on how to best maximize our investment. We were thrilled with the finished product and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend Tom to others. A++++ experience!!!

We are very pleased with all the projects that were done. Tom is extremely knowledgeable and was a great help in the planning stages. He is also very reliable, and his attention to detail is outstanding. Tom makes sure all the "little things" are done correctly, and even went the extra mile in taking care of a few things that weren't in the original contract. He respects your home, and makes sure everything is cleaned up when he's done. We will definitely be asking Tom to assist on future projects.

Tom is fantastic. I pretend I can do some work on my house myself and Tom entertained that notion. From the first time I met Tom and discussed what I had in mind, he was forthcoming with all the step involved. I got to do demo, so while he may have been able to do it faster than the 6 months it took me to do it, I did get to help out in that regard. But really, Tom knows his stuff. Best part about Tom compared to other contractors I've worked with is that Tom is hands on doing the work. He doesn't just stop by and inspect, he's hammer/drill/whatever in hand. He cares about quality. He does little things, for example, he was at Home Depot and remembered I was going to replace some canned lights with LED. He happened to be there and lights were on sale and asked if he should pick them up for me. Can't say enough good things about Tom. Happy to give more details if you contact me - as long as your project doesn't interfere with my next project I have in store for Tom :)

In addition to repairing the ceiling, they added a beam and some wooden columns, creating a reading nook at one end. They also fixed lighting fixtures and repainted the whole bedroom. The bedroom looks better than ever. All this and pleasant conversation too!

In my opinion the project went smoothly and fast once I got Mr. Mordini on the project. I did the demolition of the bathroom on my own with the help of a friend. And I bought the items to have installed in the project. I had a few estimates from contractors, plumbers, and handy men but either didn't feel comfortable with their quotes or they got lost and I never heard back from them. I joined Angie's List with hopes of finding a person that knew what they were doing and could take on my bathroom project and complete it in as timely and professional as possible. I read Mr. Mordini's reviews and was truly impressed and was really afraid that my job would be too simple and small for the type of workmanship that he does. However, he came out to my home and gave me a free estimate and his opinion of the work. And I was impressed and felt that he would be the best choice to get this project going. Mr. Mordini sent me a detailed proposal (in a timely manner) with an option to update my plumbing within a few days after the estimate. Mr. Mordini and I selected a day and timeframe to begin and complete the work. A few days before the start of the project, Tom sent me a schedule of details that he'd have done and he did it. Tom showed up everyday on time and gave me updates of what work was done and any issues that he saw with my project or materials. I wasn't able to stay home during the whole project, but Tom worked all through the day and locked up my home at the end of his workday. He was also very thoughtful to my cat and dog in making sure they didn't run out of the house unattended to. Mostly all of the work was done by Tom and Nelson helped on a few days. Tom was very friendly and knowledgable about the tiles, bathroom hardware, plumbing, lighting, electrical work, drywall, paint, and remodeling. I didn't go with the tile and paint that he suggested, but he made the project work with my selections and didn't try to dissuade me about my selections. Tom even found a hazard in the shower stall of my functional bathroom and he informed me and corrected the issue. He also told me about some other issues that he found in my crawl space that I will have to address. The project took 4-5 business days to complete and I feel blessed to have had Mr. Mordini to get our bathroom up and running again. I will definitely recommend Mr. Mordini to anyone living in his service area that need remodeling or other services done that he provides. Thanks Tom!

"This was a project 4 months in the planning with a couple of glitches but everything worked out great in the end and looks fantastic. Also found a new resin tub to shower base conversion unit that actually looks good when not wanting tile, plus it has only a 1" high pitched threshold."

Tom Mordini and his crew were not just good, they were great. Every single day Tom was here at 8am. He ensured to put together the best basement possible within our budget. He was detailed, used high quality materials, always friendly, and extremely responsive. Tom did more than we paid for. When Tom wasn't here himself, he would regularly check in with us and his crew to ensure the job was being done on time. Tom is incredibly detailed and quite picky about cleanliness. We have never, ever seen a crew that is this clean.
We are extremely happy with our new basement. It looks great and we now have 1,000 additional square feet of living space. We love it!
We highly recommend Tom for any job. He is unbelievably organized and responsive. We will absolutely be using Tom for our next project. He's not just great at what he does, he's a genuinely nice guy and a pleasure to work with.

A great master bathroom reno! Tom was very easy to work with and made the whole process smooth, simple, and fun. Tom came by to give us an estimate, we reviewed and accepted, and demo began shortly thereafter. We took out an existing whirpool tub and converted it to a stand in shower. All the shower walls, floor, and bathroom floor were newly tiled and the work is impeccable! We also had a larger vanity put in with a new sink, faucets, and counter. As this was our first home, it was the first renovation project we had ever completed. I've always heard about reno horror stories, but I can honestly say this process could not have gone any better for us. The bathroom was completed in a timely manner, all the permits/inspections taken care of, and debris removed. As we were still in the process of "getting to know" our house, Tom pointed out things to us which he noticed, and he also gave us recommendations for various service providers since we were new to the area. He was nice enough to take care of a few things for us, which he hadn't even noticed. Our light switch was broken, so he replaced it for us with a much nicer dimmer switch. We have really enjoyed using our new bathroom the last few months and are looking forward to calling Tom when we are ready for our next bathroom and kitchen.

Tom did a great job on both bathrooms. He started with new cement board for the walls in the shower and bath areas. New fixtures throughout. Wall and floor tiles were set and grouted. Granite counters with new faucets and sinks. The sub floor in the master bath needed repairs and he replaced the entire sub floor which was not in his original quote. He suggested awesome glass doors for the master shower that look great. Tom is a real pro. He's on time, neat, works hard, and offers good suggestions on site. I would highly recommend him for any general contract work. Thanks Tom.
