Get matched with top treehouse builders in Winfield, IL

"I had Biango Construction complete a full gut renovation of my main floor powder room and laundry room/mudroom. This included a major change in layouts and moving walls, doors, HVAC, plumbing, gas lines, and electrical. I also had custom cabinets and hall tree built for the space. The final result is exceptional (see photos). While the time ended up taking longer than originally expected, it was worth it to have a trusted pro do the work and to deal with the permit process. The company was easy to work with, professional, and maintained a clean workspace across my house. All individuals working on my house with Nick Biango paid high attention to detail throughout the entire process. I would highly recommend Biango Construction to anyone doing renovations or wanting built-ins added to their home."

"4.5 stars! SUMMARY: The 4Ever Remodeling team did an amazing job updating our 1960's bathroom! Generally, the 4Ever team was helpful, knowledgeable, professional, skilled, communicative, patient, prompt/reliable, neat, efficient, experienced, customer focused and organized. We highly recommend 4Ever. That being said one aspect of working with 4Ever Remodeling was lacking -the design service. A big part of our choosing 4Ever was the design service included in signing with them. We looked forward to working with a designer to help us find the various finishes for our project. Someone who was going to walk us through picking all of our selections. In the end their designer was often not on the same page with us. We didn’t feel listened too/heard so most of the finishes we found on our own. This was a very disappointing part of the process. Below we have noted some specifics..... SALES: The salesman, our first contact with 4Ever Remodeling, was very thorough and patient. Of the four renovation companies we interviewed, the 4Ever salesman was the only person to really analyze our project. He presented things we should consider. For example, he actually got in the existing bathtub and demonstrated how converting the bathtub to a shower, with a glass door, would be tight (our arms would hit the glass wall when showering). He asked what was on the other side of the shower and we discussed folding some space from an existing closet adjacent into the bathroom. He was very patient. He went over the contract in detail multiple times without ever pressuring us or appearing impatient. He revised the wording/content of a number of lines of the contract multiple times to ensure that all work was spelled out specifically in great detail to our satisfaction. As a result, no real surprises arose. DESIGN: The job was to remodel our bathroom, last renovated in the 60’s. It was not only was badly out of date but it clashed horrible with the rest of our home which retained most of its original 1912 Craftsman characteristics -warm, clean simple lines, lots of stained wood. The goal was to create a functional, modern bathroom that was in sync with the rest of our home. Once the designer was assigned our project she came out to view our home and specifically our bathroom. At that time, we presented her photos of colorful ceramic floor tiles and a wooden vanity/medicine cabinet that we liked and gave her pictures of those items. We told her that we did not want anything that was washed out or sapped of color. Specifically, we said that we didn't want any grey or beige. We emphasized that we wanted color. We also emphasized that we did not want small tiles because small tiles would mean lots and lots of grout. We told her we wanted to install tiles that were as large as possible. The 4Ever designer described our home as warm. The designer left, without taking the photos that we provided, stating that she would present us with a design plan including tile colors, vanities, etc in the 4 Ever showroom. When we met with the designer in the 4Ever showroom, she had cabinet fronts and tiles laid out for our review. Almost every sample she laid out was precisely what we said that we did not want when the designer met with us initially. Small, washed out, colorless tiles and a painted vanity panels with muted colors. We left the showroom with the conclusion that finding the tiles, vanity/vanity counter, medicine cabinet/mirror, hardware and all the plumbing fixtures would be up to us. In the end we procured m selections without the assistance of the designer. We did select a shower wall tile that we spotted in the 4Ever showroom in our first meeting with the saleman. The designer was helpful in choosing a grout color to go with the shower wall tiles. We procured our floor tiles and grout from an outside source. The 4Ever designer provided the square footage of the floor/shower floor tiles that we should order. She ordered the shower wall tiles. (Initially, she did not order enough and we had to purchase another box). It was not until the day of the pre-construction walk through that we learned that the designer had not ordered the grout or Schluter for the shower walls along with the tiles that 4Ever was procuring. We were informed that we needed to purchase these items through our outside source. This last-minute notification put us under the gun to acquire the materials so as to not cause a delay. In addition, this small, last-minute purchase (below their minimum order threshold) resulted in a sizeable surcharge that was completely avoidable had these materials been included in our original order. Our designer identified the grout color and quantity as well as the Schluter color to procure but made no mention of the depth of the Schluter. We never considered that the depth of the Schluter would be different from the floor tile so we (special) ordered the additional footage needed to finish the shower walls. Fortunately, when our the tradesman, who was installing the tile, identified that we had the wrong size Schluter the Project Manager noted several local sources where we could procure the needed, correctly sized Schluter locally. We were able to procure the correct Schluter that night so that the tradesman could install it the next day. Because we initially ordered the wrong size/depth of the Schluter we ended up with four lengths of Schulter that we paid for but could not be used or returned. This was another avoidable expense for us. PROJECT MANAGER: Initially we had concerns that the project manager would not (as promised by the salesman) coordinate with the non-4Ever Remodeling HVAC company who was installing the flooring heat. Once the project began those concerns disappeared. The 4Ever Project Manager was VERY communicative throughout the entire process. The Project Manager stated several times...."we do it until you are happy." That sums up the Project Manager's attitude and the attitude of the gentlemen who worked under his direction. He was knowledgeable, customer-focused, organized and kept us apprised of what was happening at all times. He was amazing! DEMO, FRAMING, DRYWALL/TILE INSTALLATION, PAINTING/STAINING: From demo to framing to drywall installation to laying shower/floor tiles to the installation of the vanity/medicine cabinet to painting/staining this single tradesman did a fantastic job! He was reliably on time, very skilled and hard working. He was respectful, polite and neat. Like any good tradesman ours was quick and efficient. He made complex work look easy; a testament to his skill. Staining and finishing the woodwork was the only task that did not appear to be easy. Even that he worked multiple times until we were happy with the result. ELECTRICAL: The electrician worked efficiently and in an organized, clean manner. He garnered our input as needed, making no assumptions. He was on time and when he was going to be delayed he phoned us to let us know. PLUMBING: The plumbers worked quickly and cleanly. They knew what had to be done. They were professional, friendly and punctual."

"Garage was built well. Wasn’t happy with the concrete guys they used.(0 stars)Thought I’d have a patio poured as they did the slab for the garage to make it easier. They ended up sloping it towards the house. Water runs towards my house on rainy days and sits behind my basement foundation. Very noticeable by eye too. When I put a table or chair on it, the whole set sits crooked. I have to wedge it with a piece of wood to keep it level. I have cracks in several places as well after the first year which I know no one guarantees but thats besides the point. Called them to address the issue but never got a response to the problem. I’ve had to look at it everyday for the last 2 years and it frustrates me. Called them back, explained the situation again…. even suggested to redo it at cost….they said they would get back to me ….but no response…again. They tell you about how good they are but when you try to address it, they don’t do anything. I guess I’ll have to tear it out and it replaced by someone else. I don’t like leaving bad reviews but I gave them plenty of opportunities to make it right. It’s ashamed because I had a lot of people asking me for referrals. I even paid more that other quotes thinking they were different. I didn’t feel confident in recommending them. If anyone wants to see the work, please let me know. Hope it was worth it guys! UPDATE: 4/24 Bob proactively reached out to me and was unaware of the issues I had with the concrete. Internal communication issue? I don’t know. Apparently they've had issues with that concrete contractor and no longer use them. Garage4you said they want to make it right. Totally wasn't expecting that. Currently in the process of correcting the issue. I will update the review once completed. Just thought I'd let everyone know as you are gearing up for garage work soon. Maybe I was wrong and there are good ones out there. We shall see. UPDATE: 5/25 Well....a year has gone by and Issue has not been resolved. I reached out toward the end of summer thinking that they were busy and would do it in fall. Never happened. Obviously couldn't do it in winter. I told them let’s set it for early spring. I had to called in April to follow up. There has been no sense of urgency on their part. I keep getting the run around as if they didn't want to do it anymore. Not sure why this is so hard. You had a different contractor come out to validate that it wasn't done right. Then you put it in writing what needs to happen and it still hasn't. I even have all the texts archived. This is getting frustrating again but goes back to my original intuition. They are really good at telling you "how good they are" but when it comes to things like this, don't want to take responsibility; even though they acknowledged it. (which is worse in my opinion) Just wanted to get this done before I beautify my backyard as I know it will get torn up. I will give them one more week to schedule or tell me what is happening. If I don't hear back, I i'll most likely have to take it to the next step. Hopefully my next update is more promising. I've posted some pics so you can see what I am talking about. Pics don't do justice. 6/25/2025-Well. Now they are ignoring me. Guess I have to take it to the courts.............This is why contractors get a bad name! 9/25. Formal demand letter sent before it goes to courts"

"Our experience with AP Builder was great. Angelo was very knowledgeable and professional, keeping us informed every step of the way. This was a big important project for our home and I am extremely happy with how it came out! The cost was very reasonable and there were no surprises, everything was open and honest. I would definitely use them again and recommend to friends and family. Thank you AP!"

"Rushed the whole job. Hired painters he had never used. Destroyed my entire house knowing we still needed to live in it. Didn?t clean up after he left. Didn?t completed job. Sloppy detail work see photos. I want the work completed but I don?t want him back in my house. Please do not hire. Menards didn?t even want him in there store anymore. Quoted me an extremely low price just to get job. So many things he left out. "

"Steve was hired for my office expansion. I have a family friend who, as a general contractor, performed the job of the expansion. I was quoted and paid for a buildout according to my budget. I paid Steve invoices accordingly to the budget and agreed upon price between my contractor and me. Months after the buildout was completed, Steve contacted me stating he talked to other contractors and the job was estimated to be $40,000 over what we agreed upon. I emailed him back stating that was not what I paid for the buildout, despite his other estimates. What kind of a business model is this? As a professional, I know others in my profession have higher rates, etc. I do not send bills to previous clients extorting more money because someone down the street charges more! Not to mention, his harassment started during the COVID-19 pandemic. Maybe he is financially hurting, as all are, but that is no excuse. He relentlessly emailed me the first week of every month asking for my payment for my past due invoice. My general contractor talked to him also, on my behalf, but the emails do not stop. He is basically harassing me for additional money at this point. I am sharing this, as I do not want anyone else to get into his situation. Steve is ethically and morally unsound. Please beware."

"Frank's crew has done a variety of tasks for us: ceiling painting, checking plumbing, redoing our front porch, fixing light fixtures and wiring, installing sensors in garage and front porch, and replacing our front door and storm door. Salvador and Manuel work well as a team; they are both hard workers. They are friendly and willing to answer our questions as well as ask us about our preferences. We wouldn't hesitate to hire them again for our contracting needs."
