Get matched with top house leveling pros in Oak Park, IL

"Stoyan was extremely professional and honest. He called before arriving, arrived on time and looked around. He had me describe what I had observed, inspected my ejection well and my walls and foundation. He did state that he could not see everything because the basement was finished but from what he could see, it was not an interior unit problem, but rather an exterior (HOA) issue. I asked him if he could chat with a friend on the phone who was trying to help me. Stoyan patiently discussed the entire situation with my friend and discussed options etc. There was absolutely NO ATTEMPT to oversell me or sell me something that I did not need. I asked him if he would mind looking at my neighbor's basement while he was there. He said he would. We went over and Stoyan examined my neighbors's basement. He basically said the same thing, that as far as this general seepage goes, it was an outside drainage issue. He patiently explained to both of us, how this should all work for our four unit building. I cannot say enough positive things. I highly recommend this company."

"We met with Charlie Murphy several times to discuss the possibility of using Icon Building Group to build our house. Charlie was concerned that they would not live up to our high expectations. In the end, they not only met our expectations, they exceeded them. Icon assembled a talented team to execute the building of our house. They selected a group of subcontractors that had the necessary talents and attention to detail to be able to execute the detailed design that we entrusted to them. The efforts of the subcontractors were carefully guided by our superintendent, Mike P. In the office, Shawna H. did a great job navigating our project thru the challenging City review process. We had several challenges during the project, and the Icon team dealt with them in a positive manner. We are extremely happy with the end result and look forward to enjoying our new home for many years to come! Bob and Pat"

"Mike, Eddie, and their team were great. From the beginning communication was easy and Mike was easy to get ahold of when we had questions regarding materials and details in the estimate he sent us. We actually had them quote us a few years back, but had to hold off on the work due to multiple home repairs. They gave us a new estimate, for a small increase, which I really respected given the 4 years that had passed and the amount of work they had on their schedule. We had a couple of other companies come out and quote us and E & B gave us a middle ground price, but with plenty of detail to back it up. We ended up deciding to do composite deck floorboards with a wood railing. After they began demo my husband realized that even though we had planned to hold off on having our back sidewalk re-poured to slope away from the house it wouldn't be possible since two of the staircase footers would have to sit on top of it. We asked if they could add give us an estimate on one sidewalk from the back of the house to the alley. After some back and forth on the height and slope of the sidewalk, they got started on that the next day. We also decided that we might as well replace our sliding door that has been giving us issues and Eddie ordered that immediately for us. Everyone was respectful about our space, worked hard, and whenever we had questions they stopped work until we had it resolved. They cleaned up after themselves and made sure to come back to finish up a few minor details. They also came back two weeks later when the sliding door wouldn't lock. They didn't leave us hanging after the majority/all of the job was done, which had happened to us once before. I trust them enough to work with them again when we're ready to tackle the next thing on our bungalow fix-it list."

"This was our second time working with Permeseal. Had a great experience the first time was they remediated four foundation cracks. This time, stabilized concrete steps that had pulled away from house, amd leveled out a sidewalk.. They explained the remediation effort and went to work. Very conscientious and true craftsmen."

"Before getting into details, I'd like summarize my experience by stating I am an extremely satisfied customer of The Real Seal. Do yourself a favor and at least schedule an appointment if you are in the market for any of the services they offer. In my research on the potential issue, I encountered The Real Seal on Yelp as well as YouTube. Their videos were some of the most informative I saw when research foundation issues and solutions. As a general rule of thumb, I decided to reached out to 3 different companies to have them evaluate my home. After reading their glowing reviews on Yelp and Angie's List, I knew they would be 1 of those 3 companies. US Waterproofing was the first company I had come out to take a look. Their staff was certain there was severe issue and had suggested that the engineer we hired prior to purchase was either grossly incompetent or a flat-out fraud. Despite this assertion, they were unwilling to commit to much. They were confident that a foundation pier system was needed but said I would need to hire a structural engineer to develop plans. A few days later Austin and his team from The Real Seal came by. Their level knowledge and enthusiasm was on another level. Austin was confident they could resolves my issues and was able to easily demonstrate the need for their services. Since part of my home's foundation had been sinking, an I-Beam was being pulled away from its footing. Austin was able to clearly demonstrate this with a picture and it was obvious the urgency expressed was not a sales tactic. It really was scary how little remaining contact the beam had with the footing; it couldn't have been more than a few 10th's of an inch. Austin assured me he could have his team come back within a few days to install a temporary support to ensure there was no catastrophic damage with we were waiting for a crew to be available to complete the project, if we decided to proceed. He was also able to provide a structural solution that would solve an issue with our floor flexing when lightly jumped on. US Waterproofing was clueless as to why it was happening, even after making them aware of the issue and having them inspect the area from above and below. It was clear that Austin was very experienced and knew what he was doing, but he still assured us one of their engineers would review his plan. In addition to the structural issues, I had more routine problems like a crack repaired by the previous homeowner that was starting to slowly leak and a window-well that would accumulate water after heavy rains. He was able to offer solutions. He also suggested installing buried gutter downspout extensions as preventative measure to avoid further damage to the home. Everything suggested made total sense and at no point did I feel like I was being up-sold or pressured to get a service I did not need. The 3rd company I was scheduled to meet with had to postpone our meeting. I was so wowed by Austin and his team that I felt confident that proceeding with The Real Seal was the right choice and ended up cancelling that appointment. Austin's pricing for the foundation pier system was exactly in line with what US Waterproofing had quoted, even though they weren't willing to commit to an actual decision and left that to an engineer that I would have to hire. But it was reassuring that they suggested the same number of piers for the same price. At least I wasn't getting conflicting information, and it was obvious that hiring a structural engineer to inspect, evaluate, and draw up plans would not be cheap either. Austin was true to his word and had a few guys out in just a few days to install the temporary support. When the project was completed at a later date, Austin and his team were nothing but responsive. I was a little worried that the location of a couple of the downspout exits might be problematic due to the grading of my yard. All I had to do was mention this and the exits were extended at no additional cost. We had planned on having my garage downspouts use the same exit as a few of the house downspouts. But while the project was underway, Austin felt it would be better to install their own exit on the other side of my property. He also had to call out an HVAC professional to redo ductwork that was in the way in the crawlspace. I was not charged extra for any of this. It is apparent that sticking to the original quote is extremely important and The Real Seal doesn't want their customers to be upset with any unexpected costs. All the work done was of the highest quality and every crew member was extremely courteous of my home. Overall this was a 10 out of 10 experience and I would highly recommend The Real Seal to anyone needing their services!"

"We did not have the work done. We will monitor the situation to see if the front of the house sinks more. In the meantime, we will patch the cracks. I gave their pricing a "C," but I did not do a thorough check of competitive pricing; therefore, considering the helpfulness of Jason, I gave them an overall "A" rating."

"We recently had our two main bathrooms remodeled by A P Builder (Owner is Angelo). We are totally thrilled with the end results of these projects. Angelo was involved in every phase of the project, many times offering valuable suggestions that we had not thought about. The work was done while paying attention to every detail, no matter how large or small. If and when there was a “glitch”, it was dealt with promptly and completely to our satisfaction. I would highly recommend Angelo and his company for future work at our home. Bravo to A.P. Builders and Angelo for a JOB WELL DONE!"

"EXCELLENT! EXCELLENT! I cannot tell you how pleased my husband and I are with the quality of the work from Garcias Repairs. Our problem was a lot of loose vinyl siding on our two-story home that we were fearful of blowing away. Dario Garcia and Jose were very thorough in their assessment of our project, making certain that the wood underneath the siding was in good condition before the repair, which it was. It was evident from this assessment that they took pride in what they do. They then gave us a fair estimate for the repair. Their attention to detail left our home in better condition, and we could be happier. They did a beautiful job. Because we were so happy with the work they did on our house, we hired them to do some vinyl repair on my sister's home. Results again, were excellent. It is refreshing to come across contractors that are so HONEST. My husband and I recommend GARCIA'S REPAIRS highly."

"I needed to have a slip proofing put on the pergo for my dogs in addition to the replacement of a bathroom fan and a repair to my garage ceiling drywall. Daniel read up on how to apply the slip proofing for the pergo before coming to the house and recommended a nice ceiling fan. The price was very affordable and all of the work was done well. I am posting this review now because I came looking for him to do some more work in my house."
