"I worked with

who is part owner. He helped me understand how to prep the walls for his install. It took him about 4 days total and worked around my schedule. The cabinets were delivered for the sperate rooms about a month apart and he came back later to install the mud room. When it was all done, he made a sperate trip to make all of the adjustments and fill the nail holes. He also made a few extra pieces for me incase I needed to modify the trim after tile install. He was very punctual and always did what he promised. Overall I am very happy with the results."

Projects:

The rolling table, while different from most of the furniture

features at his website, is a stunning success. I had designed the table based on client specifications for a Chinese-style black lacquer table that could roll over the ottoman to be used as a table or even as extra seating.

gave us wheel (

) options to choose from and we were thrilled with the final selection's ease of function and look. The table itself is so beautiful and his "stainmaster" (as I refer to his wood refinisher) is expert: he was able to give my client the 1/8" line trim around the surface

that she wanted to finish off the look. She continues to be delighted with the way it looks, and it turned out exactly as we had been envisioning. His "stainmaster" collaborator is another reason we decided to go with

since matching stain colors was very important to my client.

For the built-in,

fixed issues that remained from the previous contractor and greatly improved on the existing. His on-the-spot drawings are excellent and very helpful along with the on-site discussions with me and my client. The built-in project was completed just a couple days over the estimated time frame--just a couple days is in itself amazing for custom contracting projects!--but even that 1-2 day overage was only due to the Snowstorm of the Century (Feb. 2-5, 2011)! What a week! So this of course was perfectly fine and my client was absolutely thrilled with the final product including the hand-turned finials he created. They were more elaborate than we had discussed and sketched in our meeting but they turned out so beautifully and my client loved them. The real star element (in addition to the finials) is the "waterfall" effect of the wood used for the counter top. Even the "shoe" he added around the bottom

is exquisite, perfectly fit along a curve and just finishes off the whole piece beautifully.

The fireplace surround replacement of appliqués turned out nicely as well and fits what my client dreamed of. He provided three books of appliqués for her to choose from and she is very pleased with how it looks. His pricing was the highest of the multiple bids we received for this job but my client chose him primarily because of his top quality workmanship. He brought along an assistant contractor for de-installation and one for installation. Both were great to work with, and I was appreciative of the respect they showed toward my client, their care as they worked in her home and with clean up, and their attention to the building's rules. The installation process was one long day but it went smoothly and as planned.

Working with

was hands-down one of the very best contractor experiences I or my client have had--if not *the* best! This company and proprietor are A+! Thanks to Angie's List and big thanks to

. I hope to work with you again in the future.

"After the brickwork was repaired, I needed to have a repair on the interior damage to my bay wall with three windows. The plasterer recommended

to repair/replace the wood in the windows.

replaced the damaged pieces while keeping the decorative crown molding and other pieces which were not damaged. He began his work before the plastering and came back afterwards to put all the new and original pieces back on the windows. After his work was complete, there was an unexpected problem with one of the trim pieces and

came out that day and replaced it immediately. He did a wonderful job and also recommended a great painter in which he coordinated his work. "

"We'd actually had them come out late last fall but deferred getting the fence until after winter because there wouldn't have been time to seal it before the snow came. They honored our quote from that time, and worked very efficiently when they came to the house. It was done in one day. We're very happy."

"100% satisfied! Our first job as listed cost exactly $4510 and was well worth it. But I consider

and his crew at Progress Remodeling to be my one and only general contractor since recently moving to Chicago in 2010. I've rehired him over 10 times in the past 1 year+ to do both big and small jobs rehabbing our Lincoln Park townhome right from the day we closed on it then. These jobs ranged from replacing a hideous previous owner's kitchen backsplash to replacing two improperly previously built roofdecks to completely gutting and transforming a LL Full Bath into a spectacular spa-like bathroom. He's single-handedly transformed our dated townhome that we purchased in 2010 into a comfortable and livable (and re-sellable) HOME for me and my wife. I highly recommend him without reservation. We often give him the key to our home and trust his men to secure it and protect our property while they're working and we're not there. They're always on time right at the time they say they'll arrive. He's a general contractor and home builder who doesn't cut corners ever, and is very good at explaining what/why/how he'll do a job, as well as there's never any surprises when it comes to cost and price. I took the time to verify his Chicago General Contractor's Licensure #1898252 under Progress Painting & Remodeling, Inc., as well as requesting he email me (which he promptly did) his proof of business liability insurance ($2million aggregate coverage) through

Mutual Ins. (policy #COIL009732), and even the BBB gives his firm an A. I wouldn't hire him over and over if he didn't do everything right, which he does, so I do. An honest, hardworking, skilled, and trustworthy contractor is hard to find in the city of Chicago. I recommend this one here to you."

was WONDERFUL! Throughout the entire remodeling process he was extremely professional, hard working and efficient. There was nothing that he could not do and he had his work cut out for him here. I was completely amazed by his knowledge, ideas and improvements and my place looks a thousand times better now. He's definitely the handiest man I've ever met and I am so thankful to

and Angie's list for helping me find and hire such a talented professional! I would absolutely recommend

Services and will definitely hire him again (when my husband and I buy a house). "

"I called

and made an appointment. He and another man came to the house as they said they would. They looked at the door and planned how they would replace it. Throughout the process

explained everything to me and showed me exactly what they would be doing. There were some tricky aspects to some of the work because the door jam had settled, was uneven and had to be raised up. Also, the door jam that I had purchased was too small. The gentleman that did the work was outstanding--a very skilled carpenter. He was able to make everything work. He used a piece of wood from the old jam to fill in on the smaller jam that I had bought. The door looks great and finally, we have a bathroom door that completely closes! The experience from start to finish was outstanding. I highly recommend

. They are professional in all respects and highly skilled. I will definitely call them again."

"His work was fantastic. You would think that our wall-to-wall cabinets were built-ins.

works alone, so you know exactly who you are hiring.

is prompt, courteous, efficient, honest and CLEAN! I will be hiring

to do my bath and sun room remodels. Finally,

is very reasonably priced. NOTE: if you live too far in the city, he may not take your job, but he will tell you that on the phone - he will not waste your time. We live on the northwest side of Chicago."

and his employees arrived in the morning as planned and began working right away. They are efficient and professional and do high quality work. Everything was finished by mid afternoon and looked great! This is a job we have wanted to have done for many years, but didn't feel it was worth the extremely high cost we had been quoted by another handyman many years ago. The light and the ceiling look wonderful and we are extremely happy with the new lighting and how well the job went from beginning to end.

is professional and his pricing is fair. He strives to ensure that his customers are completely satisfied with the job before he considers the job to be finished. Many years ago

employees installed four ceiling fans for us. The job turned complicated because of old wiring in the upstairs ceilings, but

went to the extra trouble of correcting the problem and made sure the fans were working well. We are very happy to have the ceiling fans as they have made the upstairs so much more comfortable during the hot summer months.

is an extremely kind, honest, and professional business owner with reliable and excellent workers and I highly recommend him for almost any type of work that needs to be done."

"Our request for an estimate was met with a prompt response.

his co--worker spent much time listening to our ideas and desires for built-in book cases and crown moulding in our family room. They also made helpful suggestions. They allowed time to do a rough design on the spot and took many measurements. There was a responce within two days with a detailed estimate and a proposed start date. Upon agreement, a date for beginning was set with an estimated completion date given. Both workmen arrived on the date agreed upon and reviewed the plan with us. They were very professional and respectful of our property and that of our neighbors. Each day, the work space was left in an orderly manner. They completed the work in the time frame predicted. Time was allowed for our inspection and questions. We were extremely pleased with the work done and would highly recommend

services."
