“Chi Renovation remodeled my bathroom, refinished the hardwood floors, and painted all the walls. I'm very meticulous and, consequently, I am NOT an easy customer. So, when a job is done with superior quality, I want to acknowledge it and give full credit. Background I live in a 1-bedroom, Gold Coast condo that's about 700 Sq Ft. I hadn't updated it in 10 years and was really ready for change. I decided to refinish the wood floors, paint all the walls, and completely remodel the bathroom. I consulted with and received bids from 3 companies before choosing Chi-Renovation. Superior Advice & Direction Since I wasn't sure exactly what I wanted to do to the bathroom or the colors I would choose for the walls, I was open to suggestions. The Chi-Renovation Project Manager showed me pictures and asked questions to be better understand my tastes, how I would use the space, and my vision. He then gave me great recommendations regarding color and design elements and did most of the shopping for me. For example: He brought tile, accent options, and wood finishes to my home based on my preferences. He sent photographs of options for the fixtures, toilet, tub, etc. This was incredibly helpful because I don't have a car nor the time to do that kind of running around. I was pleased and impressed with the advice and direction that he gave me. He also met with the chief engineer for my building at the beginning of the project to manage all of the technical stuff. He made the process VERY easy for me. Exceptional Crew I was also impressed with the caliber of their expert craftsmen. The custom vanity and cabinets that they made are absolutely beautiful and fit perfectly despite the awkward constraints of the space. The tilework is like art -- beautiful and flawless. And, the refinished hardwood floors look like new. Perfect! And, they completed everything in just 4 weeks! Why Chi Renovation & Design? TRUST... Before witnessing any of their work in my own space, I chose them because after seeing examples of their work and speaking to them, I trusted that they would do what they said they would do when they said they would do it and that they would do it with integrity (in terms of their professional conduct and the materials they used): On Budget - On Time - Highest Quality. I appreciated having the Project Manager (who also provided wonderful design direction) as a central point of contact for all elements of the project and their entire crew proved worthy of my trust... so much so that I felt comfortable taking a mini out-of-state vacation for the last week of the project while they painted the walls and refinished the floors. The Cost I was quoted $12,600 for the work (and that included basic building materials). I paid an additional $4,700 for my custom vanity and cabinets, tempered glass sink, brushed nickel fixtures (for the sink, tub, and shower), and tile. The price was reasonable given my vision for the space, the types design elements that I chose, and the quality of the work.”

“Joe did a major contracting job for us, renovating a 1900 house.. Throughout, his team was excellent, did quality work, and took pride in their work. The finished project is fantastic. We couldn't be happier. Joe and his crew were more than just employees - they were our friends and became a part of our family. If you want really good results, you can't possibly do better than Joe. In fact, he is doing another job for us now. He has our absolutely highest recommendation! You couldn't find anyone better.”

“We could not have asked for a better contractor than Hughes Carpentry. We really appreciated the professional, detail oriented, punctual service. The process of remodeling can be stressful and overwhelming (especially when you are doing several rooms), but with Hughes Carpentry they really broke it down into manageable steps that made the process enjoyable and the end result fabulous! When I was having difficulty finding kitchen cabinets that I liked, I showed Benjamin a picture from a magazine to help him understand the style I was trying to achieve. He was able to not only understand the concept but build the cabinets matching the style perfectly- in the wood, design and finish we wanted. Everyone who sees our kitchen has said how blown away they are by the results (for us it is a dream come true!) In an age where professionalism and integrity are often difficult to find in contractors, Hughes Carpentry showed us that they do indeed exist. Our job was completed beyond our expectations with a clean up at the site each day. Who could ask for any more than that?”

“Ulises is a professional who gets the work done. Super efficient and gets back to you quickly. I would highly recommend him to any one that is looking for his services.”

“Absolutely loved working with GDM for my bathroom project. After meeting with a few contractors, I knew these guys were the choice for me. The proposal was far more detailed than anyone else and they handled all the buying and storing of materials. The 3d rendering was so cool, I got a chance to see how my bathroom would look before they even started. All the workers were not only friendly but knowledgeable. This was the easiest and best experience I’ve ever had with any contractor!”

“As an Architect in need of a local quality firm to satisfy my immediate interior remodeling requirements before we moved into our new home, I researched and chose the Advance Design Studio,itd in Gilbert, Il. I am extremely satisfied with the quality of their work and timely completion. I have and continue to refer other professional and friends to this unique hands-on family owned design firm. Respectively, Al Drogosz - Architect”

“New Explode Construction Saved the Project! I don't write many reviews and did so this time because Sebastian Micle, Owner of New Explode Construction, went above and beyond the call of duty. I tried to save money on some electrical work as well as a kitchen & bathroom remodel. The original contractors made many mistakes and left the place a mess. I had a tight deadline and New Explode came in and fixed all the work and then proceeded to perform several other improvements to my condo. Sebastian stands apart from most of the contractors I have worked with because he has the highest integrity and will always give you a fair and honest assessment of the situation. More importantly, his word is his bond and he always stands behind his work. I give him my unconditional recommendation and will be using him for my projects in the future. Michael Gremley CEO, VoicePrism”
