  Ray installed, taped, mud and primed drywall in a new basement room. He was prompt to provide a quote and began work very quickly after I agreed to his proposal. He completed all the work in less than five days and the result was excellent. I would definitely hire him again.

  Ed Eichele has stated to us that he stands by his work and that he will do whatever it takes, that they are accommodating, open and transparent. Beware, Ed knows all the right things to say, just don’t believe any of it. Following are the issues we had with Eichele & Valene Remodeling: • Needed to hire a second contractor to rip out and replace our newly installed tile floor and takeover our project. • Had to remove and replace wood trim • Paint quality grade with option of 2 brands stipulated in our contract was not followed. An untrue story was given as to why a cheaper grade had to be used. • Promises of a building permit and an inspector appointment never materialized (3 months). After blaming the City of Wheaton building department for an unexplainable lack of action it turned out that the city never received payment for the permit we paid Eichele & Valene to execute as part of the contract. • Our walls were painted and floor installed before the plumbing and electrical work had been started let alone the drywall being finished. Our second crew took advantage of the floor being exposed to perform plumbing and electrical work by removing floor boards vs. access through the basement ceiling as was planned by John Valene. • Lack of a consistent work schedule; multiple no-shows without warning. • They still owe us money per their own records. Details: Tile – Through research of manufacturer’s websites, the Tile Council of North America, and consulting with a member of National Tile Contractors Association, we were able to confirm that the tile floor was laid improperly and needed to be 100% replaced. Some of the installation related issues: Our warranty for the subfloor and the tile was void due to the use of cheap drywall screws used to fasten the Durock subfloor rather than the required “1-1/4" USG Durock™ Brand Tile Backer Screws for wood framing (or equivalent) or 1-1/2" hot-dipped galvanized roofing nails”. As a result of improper installation, there was so much unevenness and lippage all over the floor that we were tripping while walking on the tile. Nothing sat squarely or level on it. The lippage of many tiles was the same thickness as a quarter or thicker. (See photos) Trim – We upgraded our family room from carpet to tile. It may not be obvious to all homeowners that the baseboards are installed prior to installing carpet, thus touching the floor that the padding and carpet are rolled over. For tile, the baseboards should be installed on top of tile, which put the baseboards noticeably higher on the wall. Since the baseboards were never removed prior to installing the tile the end result was a family room with oddly short baseboards as they did not sit on the tile where it should be if installed correctly. Furthermore, the staining and varnishing of the shoes was dreadful. Application of conditioner, stain and urethane was performed outside in 40 degree weather all within 6 hours. Per the Sherwin Williams website one needs to, “Let dry completely (usually 24 hours)”. In addition, the site states that one should; “Apply stain only at the proper temperature. For most stains, 70 degrees Fahrenheit is the optimum, with the safety range from 50 to 90 Fahrenheit.” The worst part about this baseboard fiasco was the calculated deception exercised where the eating area meets the family room. They removed baseboard from the eating area where it was installed at the correct height for tile to rip ¾” off of the bottom in order to match the height of the baseboard of the family room which was at the correct height for carpet. (See photo) Paint – We believe that painting before the drywall, plumbing, and electrical work were finished was a tactic employed to give us the illusion of progress after weeks of no work being performed. It was an obvious ploy to distract us from the fact that no progress had been made in weeks. We have since had to repaint all surfaces but 3 walls. Windows – There is an entire fiasco with regard to undersized windows being installed. The additional framing required to install windows that were too small led to the threat of additional “Change Order” costs. One might question why someone would install the wrong size windows. Menards remade the incorrectly sized windows as ordering the wrong size windows was their mistake. Eichele & Valene told us that we owed them the cost of a second installation even though they should have stopped when they realized that the windows were the wrong size. (See photo)

  James was an excellent choice for finishing the basement in our 1950s home. His attention to detail shows in his outstanding work. Work completed included demo-ing and rebuilding a staircase, building walls, electrical (through a subcontractor), drywall, paint, doors etc. He was able to complete the custom details such as built-in bookcases, a drink rail, barn door and recessed dry bar.

  We are very pleased with the work done by Dominic and his crew. The bathroom looks beautiful, communication was excellent, they were prompt every day, and responsive when any question or concern arose. In addition, our project was completed in January, 2018, and when a few minor things came up after it was completed, Dominic returned my calls and came our to make the necessary repairs and assure our complete satisfaction. Could not be happier!

  Extremely happy with the Haris Inc's work remodeling our basement bathroom. As a result of having to tear out walls and floors for foundation work, we had the opportunity to make improvements to a basement that is a critical living space in our small house. The project involved replacing an ancient fiberglass shower stall with a new fangled solid surface manufactured stone unit, replacing tile, lighting, and paint in a small bathroom and replaced tile in a main laundry area. As is often the case with older homes (50's) the Haris crew ran into unexpected surprises that were covered up by previous homeowners. While expanding the shower to accommodate a standard 36" base Haris had to break concrete to move the drain, remove and relocate corroded iron pipe. They were also faced with significant floor pitch throughout the basement that was masked by old tile with tons of thin-set. The project lead presented us with creative options before taking any steps that added to the cost of the project. Importantly, the crew was extremely tidy and well aware that their work would be messy. Each day they laid out and picked up drop cloths, vacuumed (often while sanding or cutting) and stored their equipment to minimize the impact on our daily living.

  It went far better than expected. Matt called us immediately, came out the same night to give a quote. His crew was then here the next morning and had it all done by 5:00 pm. Not only did they move all the furniture, but they put it all back. They plastered all the holes, removed the dimples in the ceiling and did a tremendous paint job.

  Ibro and his son Haris were great to work with and I've recommended them to several people since they finished my project. They were punctual, extremely neat (no dust!), professional, and knowledgeable. Ibro strives for excellence and made sure we were 100% satisfied with the work. Our bathroom looks amazing!

  Mark was great to work with on our kitchen remodel. We installed the IKEA cabinets ourselves, and he helped us with a variety of tasks to finish the project. This included trim work, installation of a peninsula (including building of a short wall on the end of the peninsula), installation and trim work for a new window, and plaster repair. He was pleasant to work with and was very good at cleaning up after the work was done. We would hire him again.

  From start to finish I was so impressed with the professional demeanor and focus on customer satisfaction by Mark and Yuri. Mark did a great job of ensuring the cabinets & trimwork were ordered correctly and delivered on time. His recommendation on under cabinet lighting was a beautiful addition to the kitchen. Cannot say enough about how quickly Yuri completed the demo, cabinet installation, tilework, plumbing & electrical and with great attention to detail. It was a joy to work with Mark & Yuri and I would highly recommend Modern View for any remodel work. This is a company of hard working, knowledgeable individuals who should take pride in the exceptional work they provide.

  Mark is a great professional who was very punctual on both visits. He was also very honest and tried to reuse existing materials instead of insisting on new or more expensive ones. Our basement flooded so we needed part of it rebuilt to its prior conditions. The end result is exactly what we asked for. We would definitely hire him again!
