"I hired them to install three exterior lights, by my front and back doors & garage. I had the fixtures, just needed someone to install. Good work at a reasonable price. I subsequently hired them to fix some wood rot by my garage door. Ivan cams in, cut out and replaced the bad pieces, caulked and repainted. Excellent job!"

My name is Gabriel Taylor. I attended Colombia College with a Bachelor of Arts. Upon graduation, i entered the advertising world fabricating models and props for t.v. and print ads. My knowledge of tools expanded greatly. Having always been handy, this fine tuning of shop skills led me to realize that there's much more job availability in home repair/ remodeling/ etc. Now, with 25 years of experience under my thumb, there is little that i haven't come across in the world of trade work. From electrical, carpentry, plumbing, painting, locksmithing, tile, etc., i always deliver quality results with a strong artistic awareness and touch. Caring for the customers wants and needs is primary. I believe in giving them exactly what i would want in a skilled worker in my home. Kindness, honesty, cleanliness, reliability, and quality results.

"Started with a depressing and ugly attic bathroom and finished with an ipdated modern and beautiful bathroom.   Lots of assistance as I struggled to find the right lights, tiles. fixtures and kept trying to help me make the right choices.  It's a real skill when a contractor can stop and listen to the client and Pawel does just that.

"My husband and I own two small income properties in Chicago.  One is a inherited 3-flat, the other a 2-flat in which we have lived for over 30 years.  We are not "land barons" by any means.  This year has been a horrible year for things going very wrong at both of these 100+ year old properties.  I am thankful I found Hansen Bros to help us out, especially because we are in our 60's and it's hard to find reliable, trustworthy contractors who won't take advantage.  Bob Hansen meets all of those needs, which is why I have gone back to him for jobs ever since his first job for me in May, 2014. 
The first job he did was a major repair to the open back porch structure and decking at the inherited 3-flat.  I called him in a panic when a neighbor noticed serious structural problems with the porch structure.  Bob came out to assess the situation immediately and provided a very reasonable quote for the repairs.  He began and finished all the repairs within a week at a very reasonable cost of approximately $4,000 - a very good price given the extent of the repairs.  Needless to say he eased my mind and took a huge burden off of me.
Less than two months later in July, we noted structural problems with the enclosed back porch structure at the 2-flat where we live. I again called Bob and he came out immediately to make an assessment.  He provided a very reasonable quote which I accepted. Bob and crew were out within a week to make the repairs.  Along the way, Bob made solid recommendations to do the repairs in the most cost-effective manner.  Those recommendations included replacing the 30-year-old back porch windows with new, smaller windows that would provide additional structural support to the back porch and be easier to clean since they are tilt-in windows.  Because of his recommendation, he was able to install the new windows to both floors of the porch without having to remove and replace all of the exterior vinyl siding.  The end result was a stronger structure, more functional windows, and a much-improved appearance.
Since then we have also contracted Hansen Brothers to make plumbing repairs to both buildings - all at a moment's notice.  He has also painted our ugly purple back porch (it's been that color since we bought the building 30+ years ago) to a pleasing neutral beige color, making the porch so much brighter.  Bob's next job for us begins on Oct 15th when he will replace and repair our seriously leaking garage roof. 
In sum, we have found Hansen Bros to be very fair with their pricing, and they are honest, trustworthy and reliable.  Bob Hansen actually returns phone calls, and promptly!  They do what they say they will do and when they say they will do it.  What more could you ask for?  We are happy we found Bob and cannot recommend him highly enough.

"10/16/2016: UPDATE for 6/24/2016 Review! My June review was more like a progress report. Now that the project is complete, I wanted to note that Peter and his team did a great job and we are very pleased with the final outcome! We have thought of a few more projects for them in our future as well. 10/16/2016: UPDATE for 6/24/2016 Review - Work Summary Our project included a full demo and rebuild for most of the back of our house. Interior and exterior work was done to create a new kitchen, mudroom and flat roof space for a rooftop deck. We also needed new shingles on a peak roof, a bay window converted to a 12 ft sliding door and multiple doors installed. In addition, an open floor plan was achieved in the kitchen area by removing a brick wall and installing a 16 ft steel beam between the original house and the room addition."

Pole Barn Builders questions, answered by experts

Technically, most states allow tiny homes, but it depends on the definition of tiny and whether the structure is permanent. Zoning laws regarding home size and construction are significant factors. For instance, a tiny home may be legal as a recreational vehicle in most areas, but you may only install it on a property if it complies with building and zoning codes.

Yes, you can use a storage shed several ways, including as a chicken coop, but you'll need to make some modifications. You will have to add a chicken door, roosts, ventilation near the roof, mesh on the windows, and insulation if you live in a colder climate. Additionally, you’ll want to ensure that the shed is predator-proof so no other animals can harm your chickens. You should also add a run and nest boxes to your shed.

Yes, barn doors can be too heavy, although the limitation is usually imposed by the mounting hardware you buy and not your home’s framing, unless you’re building an unusually wide door. To keep the weight down, you can opt for 1-by material rather than 2-by material, and choose a softwood like pine rather than a hardwood like maple or oak. Check the weight limits on your mounting hardware, and always attach your door track to studs rather than to drywall anchors.

Adding an extension or addition to your home costs more than a loft conversion in all but the rarest cases where the home's structural integrity is lacking. Because a home addition requires a new foundation section or significant structural upgrades to handle a cantilevered portion, the cost compared to almost any loft conversion is significantly greater for the same square footage.

It’s much less expensive to build a house with wood. This is because wood is relatively inexpensive, strong enough to endure decades or even centuries of weathering and pressure, and is easier to replace if there are issues. The cost of stone houses are incredibly expensive, heavy, time-consuming to build, and difficult to repair.
