White Eagle Remodeling

Be carefull with this contractor. I have purchased a house from him in Park Ridge. Poor quality finishing on plumbing outside in the back yard. Drain pipe safety hazard! My daughter while paying in the yard ran her foot on a hidden pipe in the grass which did not have safety caps installed and pipe had shards. Daughter ended up in ER with 7 stiches to foot. Jack is ignorant and trying to sweep the issue under the carpet! White eagle renovations is not safety focused and cuts corners to save a dollar!

Can’t say enough about Jack & his crew. Honest, reliable, personable & professional!! Neat quality workmanship! Highly recommend White Eagle!

We would give Jack Tyszka & White Eagle Remodeling zero stars if that was possible. We would not recommend that you hire Jack or his company for your project. Jack is dishonest, combative and the quality of his workmanship does meet industry standards. Jack was hired by our general contractor to roof & install vinyl siding on our house. Our problems started with Jack when he was telling other subcontractors on our job site that he was going to try to charge us for “extras” that were items which should be considered part of his normal work. Then in early May, a few weeks after Jack completed installing our siding, a piece of siding fell off the back of our house. On the piece that fell off our house we noticed that he used adhesive to fasten it to our house. Concerned, we contacted the siding manufacturer and the manufacturer rep stated that their product is never to be installed using an adhesive & that this type of installation would void the warranty on our siding. Jack repeatedly denied that this was the way he installed our siding when confronted with this information & refused to fix his improper installation. We then called out other siding installers to inspect his work & provide us with a quote of what it would cost to fix it. They identified several other issues with Jack’s work. Most concerning to us was poor workmanship that could lead to us having issues with water. Two corners of our house Jack improperly installed which could result in water running down the face of the top corner piece & behind the bottom corner piece.

They were great. The workers were great.

It was very good. They were very on time. All of the work was performed in a timely manner. They cleaned up everything.

Jack did my roof tear off and he replaced old windows for new Pella. He sent two workers with high skills and they did everything according to our agreement. Great customer service !

Ever since the new roof, my bathroom vent leaks, he told me I need a carpenter to fix this problem. I now get icicles I never had before this roof and when it rains it now pours out of the gutters in sheets in a couple of areas - (there is no blockage in the gutters). Before I had my roof repaired, I never had any of these problems. Because of previous interactions, I don't feel comfortable calling Jack as I have found he seems to double talk. I'm not sure how to get resolution to these problem as everything is only approx. 1 1/2 yrs old. And, I have since learned I also overpaid for everything - my fault. My dad passed away and I got a small inheritance which paid for the roof which he knew of and it ended up paying for everything and I had nothing left over. Which is my fault for taking him on too quickly. You live and learn. But, he should have done a better job with my home. I love my home but now not so much. I have called and also talked to him a couple of times. He has yet to come out and see the roof. In the meantime I have hired another roofer (he has an A+ rating to put of deflectors and remove my leaf guards. I have also learned that the roofing shingles hang too long over the roof and that may be the problem with the rain shooting over and hopefully the deflectors will work with this problem. Time will tell. I am so disgruntled with this company. I paid thousands of dollars to have my roof done and now I have issues I NEVER had before!!!

The installation went fine.
I'm just upset now that I need to hire a electrician to run the power to these fans. I have power in the attic but the provide informed me he only does the installation.
I not sure if that bit of information was in the original Angie List add.

.

Installation completed, but need electrican to hook up fan, so not used yet.  Work appears to be good.

He was nice and courteous, however he was going to call me. Waited for service provider to call me back.  Still waiting.

Did not use the contractor but wanted to point out how professional and courteous Jack was! He took his time to look over what needed to be done, was completely honest about the scope of the work and the difficulty because of the closeness of the homes.
My only reason not selecting White Eagle was due to price - they came in higher than my other 5 bids.I would consider White Eagle in the future!

They were great. We found them prompt and courteous. They surveyed the existing construction and they were ready to discuss the project scope.

I liked pretty much everything. The only thing I disliked, was that their price was a little high. But I had no issues with them. They were pretty professional, pretty responsive. I haven't made my decision yet if I'm going to use them.

They are extremely professional, and knowledgeable. They are extremely thorough. They want to make sure they got the job done the right way the first time. Unlike a lot of other companies, there are opportunities to work with them to correct any mistakes, or anything that may come up in the future. I am happy with them, and I would recommend them.

As a civil engineer by day, I went through an exhaustive search to find the best roofer when it was clear my old roof, with three layers to be removed, was on its last leg. With this being the first major improvement on our new home (which I was not tackling myself) I wanted to be sure it was done right – as if I had done the work myself. After collecting bids from more than 5 different licensed roofers, we went with Jack and White Eagle Remodeling for the following reasons: • He was responsive to all my emails/and calls (before and after the contract was signed). • He listened carefully and took time to understand our needs – never rushing us or pressuring. He also provided valuable and need input at just the right time, when he could tell my wife and I struggled with colors and design decisions, not common to homeowners. • He was professional (he arrived prepared with samples and answered all of my technical ‘engi-n***’ questions – as my wife would roll her eyes) • He was courteous (he took off his shoes and was patient with our dog and two year old son). • He was organized – with notes and quotes for all of my requested options and insurance paperwork needs (we had a claim for hail loss with the insurance). He took the time to coordinate with our insurance company directly, saving us time and frustration – keeping us in the loop the whole time. • He was willing to patiently work with us and our insurance, as we clarified our claim, picked out windows and debated material colors. • Having been through the estimate and sales process from other bids, it was even more clearer as Jack stood out from the others on all of the above. We felt comfortable with him as the owner of the company (rather than some random estimator from a big contractor) and he was willing to negotiate. Why I would recommend White Eagle Remodeling : • The project was priced fair and the contract was clearly written in detail. After collecting so many bids and working with my insurance inspection/hail damage claim, we had a very good idea of what the project should cost. White Eagle came in below average on price and still offered the premium materials and methods. • They provided premium workmanship at a value – compared to all the other bids. For example, custom fabricated aluminum flashings for our front bay window roof. They are also authorized to work with Alcoa’s leaf relief gutter guard system which was a unique product we wanted. • No subcontractors (except the electrician) – which meant one crew, one contact, one contract no mix ups. The work proceed quickly without any breaks (i.e. no show days) • No outrageous extras – when additional work was necessary for our flat roof (the deck was shot– which they took the time to show me before going forward with extra work) and for some minor electrical items which we added – they did not gouge us on the costs, even though these delays cost the crew valuable time. • I could relay on verbal requests being properly carried out with no overcharges. On several occasions we added work (like the garage door) at the last minute. Detailed written information was not necessary. Jack took care of getting us just what we wanted without a hitch or extra cost. • I felt comfortable the crew and trusted them around my family – with my wife, son and dog home while they worked. • They showed up early every day and cleaned up the work site every evening. • The number one reason, we were very pleased with the results – and they took the extra time to do it right. Great skill and craftsmanship is so hard to come by nowadays. This crew has those skills, and takes the time to do the job as if it was their own home.

Work was completed timely and crew cleaned up completely. Excellent work.
