iBuild Inc

I am quite satisfied with the ideas and plans. For now, the kitchen rehab is delayed, but I liked the company and will consider them in the future.

Frank from I Build is a great service provider. He was always in communication and worked very closely with my wife to complete the remodel of my kitchen. They did an outstanding job, there were a few small issues but they fixed them to our satisfaction and therefore we are happy with the results.

Originally just purchased the kitchen design renderings then decided to go with iBuild for the actual work. The design process went smoothly, working back and forth on what I exactly wanted. I already had in mind what I wanted so wasn't necessarily looking for ideas in design layout as the kitchen is limited in size and what can be done in the space. Got the design to where it needed to be and was then provided an estimate for the work. Tony was flexible and worked toward different options so as to get the price in the budget I was looking to spend. The work was done timely and the kitchen came out great. The coutertop took a little extra time but mostly because it spanned over the Thanksgiving holiday. Plan to work with Tony again when renovating my master bath in the future.

Overall, the experience was good. However, the only drawback was the scheduling of the initial visit. It was rescheduled at least once because they were not able to make the appointment. My supposition was due to the response of the Big Deal, they had some trouble keeping pace with the demand. Also, the estimate came in about a week after the renderings were emailed to me.

I was reffered to I-build and Tony by a close friend of mine. I was skeptical at first, because I thought I chose a different contractor. Upon our initial meeting, Tony had put me at ease, and made me so comfortable I felt as if I had known him for years! He came out and offered to do the drawings for no charge on my project. I was able to visualize the floor plans after Tony had put them on paper. The designer was easy to work with and very willing to do the "last minute changes" I kept coming up with. Tony actually took me shopping for the materials and all the accessories that I had picked out. When I saw someting I really liked at one store, Tony would tell me he could get it for a better deal elsewhere. He held my hand through the entire process and I could not have felt any more secure then he had made me. The project was called for 3 months, with the crews working non-stop to complete the project. I was shocked to find out Tony and his crew finished 2 weeks ahead of schedule. The project turned out almost identical to what was put in the drawings and I had finally had a place I could call "Home" I thank everyone at the I-Build crew and especially Tony DeAngelis. They are wonderful and made my experience unbelievable. Jonathan M.

Couldn?t be happier. We needed a contractor who would reconfigure our existing kitchen (installed 1999) to accommodate new appliances and add a wine bar. We wanted to reuse as much of our existing cabinetry as possible, but we also needed new cabinets and a custom granite counter top to match what was already there. This was not a big $$ job relative to a full kitchen reno, but Tony spent hours with us (here one night until 11pm) discussing our requirements, offering options, helping us work through the design in our minds. His questions were detailed and his design was flexible? he took the time to understand our requirements and offer different options for consideration. He then followed up with computer renderings that perfectly captured what we had discussed and decided. We were willing to work around Tony?s construction schedule and his crew arrived when he told us they would, worked quickly, efficiently and cleaned up the work area each day, not just at the end of the job? very professional. The finished product is exactly what we wanted. More than that, dealing with Tony was completely worry-free. There are always unexpected issues with any project and the contractor's response makes all the difference. Tony?s approach and demeanor was always focused on the end result, meeting our needs and expectations? no hassle... no arguments, just results. We will enthusiastically recommend I-Build to our friends; Tony will be our first phone call when we start the next project.

I called and spoke with Jay about the project and sent renderings of a closet I wanted to build on 2/21. He said that he would contact me on Monday or Tuesday to schedule time for him and his foreman to come out and scope the project. He called and left a message on 2/25 that he hasn't forgotten about me, that they were busy but he would definitely call me back to get it scheduled. It is now 3/5 and I haven't heard from him. Will not consider using them ever now!

They came over and gave us some renderings and an estimate. I did not hire them to perform any work. I give them a grade of "A" for their professionalism and the renderings/drawings they gave us and their explanation of our options.

I contacted Jay via angie's list few weeks ago. Having a but hard time to communicate via email as Jay insisted to talk and get more information about the project before coming for estimate in person. So he agreed to have his colleague to call us at 8:30-9:00pm, but It didn't happen so we called Frank. (He seems to be very busy when he answering the phone and he stated that he was not having computer with him so he couldn't schedule appointment with me that he will email me later and it didn't happen.)-If they need to talk and learn about the project why Frank didn't talk about project when we had conversation on the phone but kept saying that he did have computer and will email us? We did not get the email as Frank promised, so I emailed Jay. He agreed to schedule a time to come to our house for estimate and then ask again to have phone conversation first.(what? I told him that I am not able to talk at work , that's why he schedule Frank to call me in the evening.... ) Anyway, apparently he didn't really read all the emails..... so finally Jay scheduled Mr. Frank Folisi to visit me on Saturday 10:00am. (As I know this company is not efficient and always not doing things they promised. I did send a friendly reminder 2 days before they schedule to visit my house.) Again, he scheduled to visit on Saturday but he replied me the wrong date! (I asked him to check all the emails and confirmed it should be Saturday, 2 days later.) On the day he schedule to come...no one show up. I was nice enough to call after 50 mins Frank should show up.(I do understand sometimes traffic can be bad, but can you call to inform me that you are going to be late? ) No one answer the phone so I left a voice mail and also sent Jay a email. It has been 3 days, no one ever called back and Jay didn't reply my email neither. I have been given so much chances and trying to be nice. But this company is just ridiculous that I have decide to give up. :( We didn't even have chance to meet each other and I can feel how bad their service can be. Don't you care about your reputation and how can clients reply on you if you provide your service like this?

There were some scheduling issues because they were busy and personal conflicts on our side. After a couple reschedules, They came to the house one evening to take measurements and discuss our desires for our kitchen. They provided two plans for our kitchen including 3D renderings. We like one of them, but need to work with them to make some changes. They are happy to make changes to the plans, we just need to reach out to them. This was an Angie's List deal.

Frank came out, found out what we were thinking about doing, made the needed measurements, gave the information to the designer, a couple of weeks later we received the quote and design on an e-mail. It was worth the $49.00 to see what it would look like.

From start to finish I couldn't be happier with Ibuild. I got 5 estimates for the job I wanted and they were the closest to my budget and the most willing to work with me in making changes to fit my needs and stay in price range. Due to our schedules, Tony came to our house on a Saturday to meet with both my husband and I, because it was they only time we wouldn't have to be rushed. He sat down and explained to us in detail exactly what the job would entail. We signed with him and he immediately got the ball rolling on our job. There was quite a lengthy permit & appearance committee hearing process with my village. I build handled everything. Stacey from the office was very helpful with this part if the job. She was very knowledgeable as far as knowing the rules and everything that we had to do to get the permits. Every time I would call the office with questions she would have the answer or find out the answer and get back to me promptly. Once we received permits the work started the very next day. I cannot be happier with the crew that was working on our home they were clean and respectful. They came to work in the morning and left in the evening and you would not even know that there was work being done because they never left a mess. Jay from I build would stop by and check on progress. Jay and Tony were very helpful and always answered if I ever have any questions. They understood that I too was working. I could call after I got off work, and even though it was after business hours they would still be either answer or call me back right away. Thanks to Ibuild I now have a beautiful second floor addition thst added 2 bedrooms a spacious closet and attic access to my home. I have received so many positive comments and compliments from my neighbors and family about the way my house looks now. I look forward to working with Ibuild in the future if I ever have any Home Improvement work that I want done on my house.

They were super, they made an appointment, they were prompt, the guy came out, he was very professional and nice. He worked with my wife, because I was busy with my job.

Didn't go too well. I was hoping for advise on what changes I could do in my kitchen. But it seemed as if as soon as I said I wouldn't be replacing my cabinets, he decided the job wasn't worth his trouble. When I got the photo rendering of my kitchen he also got the measurements all wrong. I know it was only $50, but he could have been more helpful. Ended up calling other contractors to see if I could do the changes I wanted and they said I could and would be happy to bid on the project. Really felt he dismissed me and my project since it wasn't a total kitchen redo.

I had a previous attempt at one of these with another provider and it was a disaster, so Angie's List helped me to try another one thru someone else. Tony from IBuild was right on time and I could tell that he knew what he was talking about through and through. It was a pleasure to work with someone that understood what I was looking for and also knew how to match up vision with measurements, etc. I received the 3D drawings and layout and there were right-on with what I was looking for in my quirky bathroom. Tony took his time and asked the right questions, making it a fun experience...it should be! I look forward to working with these guys on the project ahead.

After receiving the design, I emailed them and wondered about a price range for the work. I didn't receive any reply. Several weeks later I got a voice mail from the guy who had come out to follow up on the design that was sent. I didn't return the call because of the lack of follow through on what I had been instructed to do. The lack of response didn't bode well.

Tony was able to get here within a few days of purchasing the big deal. He did post pone the appointment time about 4 times with me on the day of the appointment. He was a little slow with getting the renderings back to me but he was a nice guy to work with.

Everything turned out well. Scheduling went fine. He came out and took a lot of measurements and discussed what we might want done. Within a couple days, we had the design renderings through email. It was all done exactly the way the coupon stated.

The design was not exactly our style, but it was a great starting point, and obviously everyone has a different style so I do not discredit them any for not knowing our exact ideas.

We purchased our big deal in September or October and I Build was very responsive and met with us within a week of contacting them to take measurements and get a feel for what remodeling we desired. We expected the results back within a couple of weeks but were then told it would be the week after Thanksgiving due to the holiday. The middle of December we were again promised the design plans right after New Years due to the holidays. We didn't actually receive the design until mid January and when we did several items we discussed were not included in the design. The designer contacted me to see if I liked the plans and when we might start the project. I told him there were several flaws in the design and we weren't sure if we could do the project this year. He has not contacted me since (Feb. 3, 2014).

It was an Angie's List Big Deal that we purchased. We talked about a bathroom sauna and he left that out of the drawings even though it was one of the first things we talked about. We didn't know what you get for $75, so maybe for the value it was fine. We ended up not using him. It was very basic, not very creative. We didn't feel comfortable with using him as a contractor. I like that it was cheap but it was a situation where you get what you pay for. It was pretty generic and didn't have everything we had requested. They really wanted to be hired as the contractor and we didn't feel comfortable moving forward with them. It was pretty average.

The consultant showed up on time and worked quickly and efficiently. The plans were emailed to me exactly when he said they would be. Very helpful in planning our remodel.

They gave me exactly what I wanted. They gave me a fresh prospective on what I wanted to do with the limited space that I have. I did not know what my possibilities were. He came in took the measurements, showed me the designs and said this is what I could do. I was very impressed that he was able to take the limited space and make it something totally different. I would use them again.

Went well, courteous and professional

The person who was supposed to come out had a last minute issue, but we got Frank to come out in his place, which was good because I had taken the morning off of work for the meeting. He spent a good deal of time taking exact measurements of the space and came back within a week with nice designs via email. When we asked them for a quote for how much it would be to execute the design, we didn't hear from anybody for weeks - I guess we got lost in the shuffle. So although they did a good job at the design we will not use them for the rehab project.
