At a time in your life when you need sensitivity and communication, it was clear that this company did not want business. It felt like we were imposing on this company just to have them do their job. I worked with Frank Shaw, starting in March, 2013, to design the monument and markers. After meeting in person, I communicated with him via email, sending possible designs. The final design was done in mid-June and we hoped to have the monument, markers and cornerstones done and delivered by early August, which Frank indicated was a reasonable expectation . Frank was always very, very slow to communicate - all the communication had to be initiated by me. We paid half at the beginning of the work after I approved the plans. After much pressure from me, the monument and markers were finally delivered to the gravesite closer to the end of August. The four cornerstones were never delivered or done. As a result, we have not paid them the balance due on their work and now have no intention of doing so. (They never billed us anyway.) It has been nearly 11 months since we started this whole process - and while it took me a couple of months to get the design that I wanted (which is understandable - we did not live in the area and had to communicate via email and phone), there was no follow through. Frank did not take any initiative at any point on this job - it was like he was just tired of being in this business. It's a shame because the work that was done was excellent. The office/shop looks outdated and dirty, and someone with fresh ideas, a decent computer with design software, and an excellent customer service attitude could turn this business around."},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/nh/laconia/laconia-monument-company-reviews-8119821.htm"},"position":9},{"@type":"ListItem","item":{"@type":"LocalBusiness","name":"Creative Concepts Home Improvements","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","addressRegion":"IL","addressCountry":"US"},"review":{"@type":"Review","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Barbara K."},"reviewBody":" We had always wanted to add additional living space to our 1400 sq. ft. ranch home. We had always had (40 years) a cement patio that led from our patio doors from our kitchen. It got limited use due to heat/cold extremes and bugs. We had been researching for roughly 10 years the possibility of an addition to the back of our home. Earlier this year, we were at a home improvement fair and stopped by a Four Seasons Sunroom booth. We had heard of the company and decided to talk to the gentlemen in the booth to get a better perspective of their sunrooms. After listening to them and knowing what we had envisioned for an addition, it just seemed like a perfect match. My wish list was: 1) the addition had to give me the same feel as being completely outdoors; 2) climate control so we could enjoy it year round; 3) spacious enough for entertaining. Our specs included: approximately 15 ft width X 19 ft depth x 8 ft height (about 300 sq. ft). Creative Concepts Home Improvements, Inc.'s base price for a Four Seasons Sunroom was $49,700; additionals were: 1) a heating and air conditioning unit $1,250; 2) flooring $1,900; and a separate electrical box $925 (optional). We had originally included the installation of a ceiling fan, however, once we saw how low that ceiling fan was going to be in the room, we decided to cancel the ceiling fan. It would have been obstrusive in the center of the room due to low ceiling height and additional air circulation wasn't needed. The heating and air conditioning unit also provided a fan which works beautifully for air circulation if required.
The design team and the two gentlemen who worked on the project from beginning to end were great. Communication was great. They kept us in the loop at all times. Any concerns/questions we had were answered and/or dealt with right away. After completion, we had some water seepage in a few windows. We called and they came and fixed the problem with some "weeping holes" - hadn't had a problem since. We have an all glass ceiling which works for us since we have a large tree that shades the sunroom. However, if you didn't have natural shade, you might want to go with a solid ceiling for shade. The heating unit has been tested in as low as 25 degrees and heats beautifully. Worked just as well in the hot summer months when we needed air conditioning in the room. Our only regret is that we didn't do it sooner. It has provided us with wonderful "outdoor" space we can use year round and an excellent space for our ever growing family gatherings."},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/il/hoffman-estates/creative-concepts-home-improvements-reviews-6329921.htm"},"position":10}]}
Residential Design reviews from real Angi homeowners in Poplar Grove, IL
James designed a beautiful wide porch from the back door that comes down to the patio, and also turns to the side going to the lawn area, Very well pleased. He then pressure washed the whole house and porches before painting the porches.

John and his employees showed up on time and worked tirelessly; only stopping for lunch. John even helped us design the deck. After work each day, they cleaned up the site . It was spotless.

"⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely Stunning Refinish – Highly Recommend! I couldn't be happier with the way our hardwood floors turned out! We had some old, torn-up floors that honestly looked like they were beyond saving—but the transformation is unbelievable. After the refinishing, they look like brand new floors, absolutely gorgeous, with a smooth, rich finish that completely elevates the look of our home. Not only was the quality of the work exceptional, but the price was also more than fair—especially considering the results. On top of that, they were incredibly professional: they showed up 15 minutes early, ready to work, and clearly take pride in what they do. It’s rare to find that kind of reliability and craftsmanship these days. If you're thinking about getting your hardwood floors redone, do it—and call these folks. I can't recommend them enough!"

FAQs for residential design projects in Poplar Grove, IL
One starting point to find a local home builder is to collect suggestions from friends and neighbors. However, it’s still wise to do some more research before you hire a builder. Read reviews to supplement any word-of-mouth recommendations. Check sources like Angi that have standards and criteria in place to screen the pros it lists can also help you find more reputable local home builders.
The cost of home remodeling is $50,000 for the average homeowner. However, this cost can range anywhere from $3,000 for a small projectto $170,000 for a whole home remodel. Factors like project size, location, and room type all affect your overall cost. For example, bedroom remodeling costs are one of the least expensive projects, costing about $1,500 to $5,500 per bedroom. However, a kitchen remodel has a significant cost range, totaling anywhere from $14,500 to over $70,000.
Typically, it’s more affordable to buy an existing home than it is to build a new one. New construction loan interest rates tend to be higher than interest rates for traditional mortgages. Additionally, the cost of materials is likely higher when building a new home than it was when an existing home was built (unless it’s a very new one). You’re also paying for all new appliances, finishes, permits, inspections, and connections for water, gas, and electricity.
Yes, most states require home remodeling contractors to be licensed, and for good reason. Hiring an unlicensed home remodeling contractor could lead to poor quality work, costly future expenses, and potential code violations.
As you browse our pro listings, take note of the “Angi Approved” badge. Angi Approved businesses meet our standards for certification which include:
The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check
Required to have applicable state and local licenses
Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review
Paying to advertise their services
Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi
Keep in mind licensing is different from certifications. A license is a legal requirement to operate a business, while certifications are voluntary.
The best time of year to remodel your home is late winter and early spring when fewer homeowners are thinking about projects and pros are more available. Also consider the type of remodel you want and plan ahead as much as possible. For example, the summer is a great time of year to update your fireplace, but winter is a better option for fixing foundations and building room additions.
