I live in Antioch, Illinois so I had an opportunity to talk to quite a few businesses. Factory Plaza was the last place I visited, since it was on the outskirts of the area I was looking into. Anna Phillips, the Project Manager was very courteous and knowledgeable. I was given a list of the many kinds of stone products they carry in their warehouse, along with a price list. Walking through the warehouse, I was given the opportunity to go over all the possibllities I could use in my kitchen, with no sales person trying to make a sale or steer me to a particular piece. When I had picked a slab I was interested in , Anna went over the diagram I had brought with showing that I had come up with 32 sq ft of countertop. Being the honest person she is, I was shown how I had actually had a total of 27 sq ft of counter... saving me over 200.00. This could have easily been charged to me. I appreciate her honesty. I mentioned I would be purchasing a stainless steel sink. Anna mentioned a wide variety they carry. All top quality in material and thickness. I added that to my list also. I will mention that even though I continued to look at various sinks in the week after, I could not beat the price for what was sold to me, for the quality I recieved. I was given a measuremnt appointment and install day. Everything was spelled out in the contract and I was very comfortable knowing that every possible item was gone over before I walked out of that showroom. On the day of measurement, a gentleman called 15 minutes ahead of the appointment, just making sure I would be available. When he pulled up, the , I was shown his credentials. He made sure of all the measurements, checking everything for level. He actually double checked all of his measurents. I was impressed by the impeccable way he went about his business. In 30 minutes, he was done. I was called by Anna the next day, reassuring me the measurements were identical to the ones we signed the contract for and that my slab was ready for fabrication. During my picking out the slab, I pointed out a number of color veins I wanted in the countertop. Anna remembered that and went over my instructions again. Attention to detail is another strong point of the people at Factory Plaza.The day had finally arrive for our countertop to be installed. Two men came here to do the install, Roman and Tom. They were very attentive to detail and to making sure I knew exactly what they were doing during the install. Roman took the time to go over the brand faucet I was installing, and when the install was through, the cleanup was minimal because these professionals were immaculate in their work. They went over the care of my new countertop and that if I had any other bquestions, I should not hesitate to call Factory Plaza. My countertop is outstanding. I recieved everything I paid for and much more. It was such a pleasant experience, I would not hesitate to recommend anyone to give them a call. Better yet. Stop by and see the variety of stone slabs as well as the craftsmanship in their showroom.

As far as customer service, their followup is excellent. I have had a drawer pull that didn’t work properly. They were quick to send me a new part and come and fix it. It is really good.

They installed a faucet that wasn't adjusted right, and we had to call a plumber to fix it. They installed a new ceiling fan and recessed lights, and they never fixed the light box, so now we have to call an electrician. I had new ceramic tile put in, and I had purchased a bottle of sealer from a list of items he had me buy, and he switched it out for another product.
They were very dishonest, and we were totally upset by their service. We cannot believe anything they said. They traded products for other products. We now have to hire people to re-do what they did. They wouldn't keep their appointments, and they would continuously lie. They were recommended by our condo association, but my experience has been a nightmare.

"Miro redid our kitchen and half bath and we're thrilled with the results. We got a few quotes and ultimately went with Homewise Remodelers because the price was reasonable and Miro was so thorough in walking us through our options. He helped us select cabinets and worked through several versions of the kitchen layout until we were happy with it--we were easily able to swap out cabinet layouts and finishings, like adding a farmhouse sink. His crew were reliable, on-time, and respectful of our property throughout the remodel and we appreciated their attention to detail. They solicited our input on decorative details and were quick to fix things we didn't like, e.g., the location of kitchen cabinet pulls. We felt they treated our home as they would their own. The project even wrapped up a few days early. We would absolutely recommend Homewise Remodelers and choose them for future projects."

FAQs for countertop repair projects in Palatine, IL
The average cost to hire a handyman ranges from about $40 to $140 per hour. Average project cost ranges between $180 and $700, but the cost per hour and per project depends heavily on the type, size, and complexity of the project. The pro’s experience level and your location also factor into how much a handyman charges per hour or per project. You can also expect to pay higher rates or additional fees for emergency services, or around periods of high customer demand, like holidays.
There are several countertop options available to fit your lifestyle and needs.
Granite countertops are durable and come in a variety of colors.
Soapstone countertops are prone to scratches and best in smaller kitchens.
Marble countertops are less durable than granite but a good option for busy kitchens.
Slate countertops are stain-resistant, making them easy to clean.
Limestone countertops must be sealed often to prevent scratches.
Acrylic countertops cost less than granite while still providing durability.
Laminate countertops are the most affordable but chip and fade faster.
Wood countertops need monthly sealing to maintain.
The cost to install countertops is $3,105 on average. This project cost can range from $400 to $8,500, depending on the material, edging, and countertop size.
Laminate countertops are generally the most cost-efficient, ranging from $8 to $27 per square foot. On the other hand, slate countertops are considered more luxurious and range from $30 to $90 per square foot. There are also countertop materials priced between those two, including stainless steel, granite, Corian, and wood.
Do you have any before and after photos of your work?
How long have you been doing this kind of work?
Do you clean up and dispose of waste when the job is finished?
Yes, you should hire a handyman who’s licensed, certified, and insured, if possible. States have different requirements for handyman licensing, registration, and certifications. If licensing is required in your area, you may pay more for a licensed handyman with experience than one who is not licensed or certified, but you’re likely to get a better end result for your project. Be sure to check our state licensing tool to review the local handymen guidelines.
