Get matched with top popcorn ceiling pros in Steger, IL

"So far I have had them install a garbage disposal and a ceiling fan. Wanted to say they were very professional, courteous, knowledgeable, and reasonably priced. Has been a pleasure to work with them."

"It went really well. Everything went great."

"Only time will tell whether the work permanently fixes the cold air problem that caused my burst pipes, but as of today (the day GMS completed the work) I'm thrilled with GMS's responsiveness, professionalism, and work quality.  Pipes in my basement that routinely froze in cold weather due to poor insulation finally gave way and burst last week.  Plumbers had to come out in the middle of the night to replace the pipes, and in doing so they had to cut into the drywall and ceiling in my basement.  So now I had a basement wall and ceiling with large holes in them, and a wet wall just waiting to grow mold.

GMS was actually the second place I called - the first place told me they were booked and wouldn't be able to come out until the end of February.  That obviously was not an option.  Based on the good reviews, I then tried GMS.  Greg, the owner, was great.  He agreed to come out THE NEXT MORNING at 8:00 a.m. to give me an estimate.  He was right on time and was very professional and honest with the scope of work that needed to be done.  He had some great insight into how to do the insulation differently so that the cold air problem would be solved.  All in all, I was left with the impression that he was the right guy for the job.

He got me a written estimate later that morning, and agreed to start work THAT AFTERNOON.

The whole project took 3 days - first day they knocked down the wet wall and removed all the insulation.  The sealed off the area with plastic and blasted a dehumidifier all night.  Day 2 they insulated and did most of the work installing the new wall.  Day 3 they finished off the wall and left the entire area immaculately clean. 

I wasn't home during the actual work, but Greg provided me daily updates as to progress and always answered my calls and emails.

The wall looks better than ever; and there is now a vent built in to help warm air circulate into the space, and the pipes and the whole space behind the wall are well insulated.  As I said at the top, only time will tell whether this permanently solves the frozen pipe problem.

Bottom line is that Greg was extremely responsive and did high quality work at a reasonable price.  I still can't get over that he was able to start the work the day after I first called him.

"We hired Paul/PJ Construction last summer and were very pleased with his work. We decided to do another project this winter (rehab basement half bath and create a new finished hall and room in the basement in part of the previously unfinished area) and he recently completed the job for us. It took about a week and a half to complete. WOW!  I am again 110% satisfied with Paul/PJ Construction's work.  Again, his work was of the highest quality and reasonably priced. He transformed the basement bathroom from an eyesore to my favorite bathroom in the house. The work is of the highest quality. The drywalled walls are smooth and seamless; the soffits built around basement pipes are masterfully done and fade nicely into the walls. The floor and backsplash title is even and precise. The painting is meticulous (a soft blue on the walls, white baseboards, and flat white paint for the ceiling). The new toilet, vanity and facet work perfectly. The new bathroom is gorgeous! I am so picky with things like title and painting and I cannot find even a tiny flaw in the work. For the second part of the job, he transformed part of the utility area in the non-finished part of the basement into a new room. The walls were expertly framed around ducts. The drywalling is expertly done. The new walls are plumb perfectly smooth. Needed access panels to certain pipes are expertly placed and blend in nicely. We had him remove a door and part of wall so that the new room and new hall could "flow" into the already finished part of the basement. The work is expertly done. There is no evidence of where the wall used to be. The ceiling (where there used to be a wall) flows seamlessly into the previously finished part. There is no slope in the ceiling etc. and it is perfectly smooth. The electrical work was extremely well done. The relocation of the water heater (which involves soldering pipes etc.) was expertly done. As you can tell, I am pleased with Paul and his helper's work. In addition to excellent work, PJ is flexible and adaptable (we added a few things to the job along the way like recessed lighting in the hall) and he of course gave us reasonable prices for each thing we added. He is also very thoughtful (installed a little hook at the top of an access panel so that our little boys would not be able to open it--we didn't even ask him to!) He is very tidy, lays down tarps to walk on nonwork areas, and cleans up the areas very well. And, he and his helper are very polite. Really nice guys. In sum, my husband and I couldn't be more thrilled with PJ Construction. They can handle a variety of different work (soldering, electrical, tiling, and electrical). This is the second large project we hired PJ Construction for, and again he did an A+ job. We highly recommend his services and will use him again for our next construction project."

"It was really tough to schedule an appointment with Orlando. After the Angies Deals were purchased on May 30, 2013, we contacted him several times to set something up. His painter was finally able to work a full day on July 10, 2013 ( 9:30 am to 5 pm). He came back the next day for 2 hours (9 am to 11 am) to finish the rooms. At that time, Orlando said his painter will return on July 19 to paint the bedroom. We left him a phone message on July 18 to ask if he was still planning on coming the next day because the temperature was in the high 90's and we had no AC and we still need to clear some furniture for him. When he didn't show on July 19, we called again and he said he thought we had cancelled. He promised to call back in an hour and that was the last we heard from him. Despite additional calls and emails that he never answered, we have not heard from him again."

"Orland Painting and Decorating did an AWESOME job in our living room! They painted, wallpapered our ceiling and hung a chandelier. Everything turned out perfect and we've gotten so many compliments already. Bob and his crew are really nice people, too!"
