Chicagoland Remodeling

After purchasing a home built around 1917 with my parents, I was left with a first floor apartment in horrible condition. The most noticeable issue was the hardwood floors. They were worn to the bare wood with extremely deep scratches. I was very worried about having to tear out and replace the entire floorboards.
After calling a few places and getting some very high estimates, I decided to call Chicagoland Remodeling Inc since they were a few blocks away from my house. I spoke with Izabela who was very polite and was able to make an appointment for wally to come out and look at my floors and give me a FREE estimate. That surprised me because every other contractor was busy for weeks on end and were just trying to squeeze me into their schedule for my money.
Wally came out and looked at my entire floor, and even did me the courtesy of looking at other areas of the apartment to get estimates for other rooms in case I wanted them done too. I was very surprised by that and very appreciative.
I received my quote very quickly and was surprised that they quoted the work at a fraction of other contractors, and could come out right away and do the work. They were very helpful and gave me choices for choosing my floor stain with 25 different selections! Needless to say I signed the contract and within days they came out to do the job.
Upon seeing my new floors, which I thought could not be salvaged, I and my family were STUNNED by the results!!! The floors were gorgeous and looked like they were replaced with brand new hardwood. The guys filled in holes and laid down new wood where there was extensive damage and even covered over an old grate used decades ago for heating that was no longer used. You wouldn’t believe an old metal grate was there!
I truly recommend this company to my friends and family and have a few who are going to be calling for estimates too. After the amazing job they did, I can’t wait to have them come out for my next projects and needs.
THANK YOU IZABELA, WALLY, ROBERT, AND STAFF! YOU REALLY DESERVE 10 STARS!

We have used Chicagoland Remodeling SEVERAL times and they do amazing work!!! We purchased a home about 2 years ago and have gone through two big renovations plus a roof repair and would not have chosen anyone else to do the work. The first project was a master bathroom/​bedroom redo. We gutted the bathroom and the finished project is beautiful! Chicagoland does amazing tile work, they are so detailed and made sure it was exactly what we wanted. We also had them install hardwood floors in the bedroom and again amazing work! The second phase was sanding and adding more hardware throughout the rest of the house, removal of a HUGE built in unit, repairing walls/​hiding wires down through brick and flooring so we can place the TV on the new wall… New backsplash and new tile flooring. During the hardwood floor process we had to move out and were gone the whole week. We had no problem leaving our house in their hands and Izabela was wonderful with follow-​ups to make sure we knew what was going on. She even worked with me through e-​mail and text, sending pictures, in picking out a new stair banister and spindles because I was not in town and Izabela knew the look I was after. We are just beyond pleased with everything and already have a few additional projects that we will work with them on as well as anything in the future. We also worked with them in the city on a previous home. Chicagoland is professional, courteous, timely and does a superb job! Extremely pleased!

We met with Wally and Izabela in early July 2012 to discuss our extensive home remodeling project. Wally met with us 2 – 3 times before we signed a contract. Their bid was competitive and detailed. I was impressed with the level of detail in their bid and contract. Their pricing was fair and better than others because it accounted for many details. I liked that they did not allocate a big contingency fund for overages. Instead, they simply charged us an hourly rate for any work that became necessary after demolition or per Village inspector.
Wally and Izabella had a strong on-​site presence throughout the job. Wally frequented the site almost daily and Izabela painstakenly tracked the job progress through writing and over 300 photographs. Our project was extensive and time consuming so we had probably 10 – 15 meetings with them throughout the process.
Chicagoland’s tradesmen are excellent. My uncle who has over 45 years experience in construction said that their electrician’s panel was the most organized and clean install that he has ever seen (My uncle is meticulous and he said that even he would not have been so detailed, clean and smooth with the internal panel connections).
We had some goofy old plaster that created difficult repair work post remodelign and electric. Chicagoland’s guys did an amazing job. Our realtor, who focuses on selling old homes in our village, was impressed with how clean it came out. So was my husband! He was stressed out thinking about how it would come together cleanly.
Chicagoland’s carpenter (I forget his name – 50 year old Polish gentleman) was superb. Nothing stresses him and he can pull off anything.
As our project was pretty big, Chicagoland was great about not nickleing and diming us. Their guys always offered to help my husband with advice and sometimes even lending a hand on his projects.

Wally directed various trades to place attention to detail on things that my husband (and me) really appreciate. They sealed the backerboard in our master shower with expensive liquid rubber. They gave special attention to insulation. Their tile work is very good.
Chicagoland has a wealth of resources and discounts for project suppliers.
We worked with Chicagoland for about six months on the project. We got to know them very well. They are friendly, professional and kind people. Wally even allowed my husband to hire his son to work on some remodeling projects on a per diem basis, which took stress off my husband and saved us money. On that note, I always felt that Izabela was trying to help us save money while doing things right.
Like any big project, we had some issues that came up. Chicagoland was great and helped us solve them. They were fair and reasonable when a few things did not go our way. The shower bench we wanted became partly unfeasable and
when their proposals for fixes were not to my liking they issued us a credit.
We designed most of the remodel ourselves and they were patient and understanding. I am sure they would have preferred to work with an architect or designer, but they allowed us to do it as we have experience with remodeling.
We highly recommend Chicagoland. They are professional, courteous, prompt, smart and easy to work with. They are upfront and honest, which – when coupled with their skill – makes them an invaluable contractor.

Chicagoland is a top choice for any home remodeling you need. I had my roof and gutters done by this company and I can say I am very pleased by how well they work and how well they communicated with us about when to start and etc. There price is very reasonable and would recommend to anybody who needs a roof done or any home remodel.
