Best Bathtub And Shower Installation in Chicago IL
Unfortunately, I had a terrible experience with Fixer recently. I hired them to install my kitchen backsplash because I saw the reviews on here, as well as one from a friend of mine that personally used them for tile work. I provided them with pictures of the work that needed to be done, advised them that I had a wet saw and all tools and products needed to complete the job, just needed someone with the expertise to do it.
I was quoted 3-4 hrs for the backsplash installation, with 1-2 hrs for putting in the grout. I opted out of them applying the grout and decided to do that myself once they were finished. I was tight on cash and Fixer provided the best quote, so I went with them.
On 10/23, the fixer showed up on time and ready to work. I gave him three options to set up the wet saw. He decided to use our garage. He got to work, and 3 hrs in he still hadn't had any tile on the wall. I asked him if this would take longer than the 3-4 hours I was quoted and he told me he thought I knew it was going to take longer and the dispatch should have told me. I told him to stop working because I wasn't prepared to pay for more time. He said it would take more than double of what they quoted me to finish.
I spoke with the manager John who said he would look at the transcript and see if was an error in their side. He called me back and told me it was and that they would finish the job for the amount quoted. I was satisfied with this, so I told the Fixer to continue, even let him speak to the manager John to confirm.
There are multiple tiles without spacers, which make each tile visibly uneven. Some of the cuts made on the tile are even visible when the covers for the outlets are on. The entire run above the stove isn't level and they used unnecessary tile behind the stove, even though I provided a piece of wood to hold the tile up so we wouldn't have to waste any tile. There was also mortar left on multiple tiles as well as the wall, where no tile was laid. The mortar for the tile is be dry by now, and it doesn't seem like anything can be taken off, so it will have to be chipped off or something.
Overall this experience has been terrible. Not only was I quoted incorrectly, but I am out 400 dollars for the time I was willing to pay for, and I am out on the tiles used that will have to be taken off due to poor installation.

They gave us a fair price for a straightforward job and did it quickly. I would use them again.

Mo came within 24 hours of contacting him to fix a couple of patches of water damaged ceiling. He did a great job repairing the ceiling and was very friendly as well. He even checked out the plumbing work we had recently had done in our bathtub and added a bit of silicone to make sure we definitely wouldn't have more leaks (at no extra charge). I would definitely recommend Mo to others as he is skilled and reasonably priced.

Fixer did an excellent job replacing the basement front door on my house.
The door is not standard dimensions, so the job took two steps:
1. Have Fixer order the door and wait for it to come in
2. Have Fixer pick up the door from Home Depot, abd Fixer install the door.

We had Billy install a new 50 gallon hot water heater, new garbage disposal and new sump pump with battery backup. Great job and total professional. This guy is the ultimate handyman. He even gave some tips on other issues in my house and was very easy to talk to. Highly recommend and pricing was good.

Our door was forced open and the frame was damaged. Al came over and fixed it to where you could barely tell it had been broken. It was quick and reasonably priced. I plan to use this company again for other projects we have.

I contacted Adam Hadib with A1-Services. He answered his phone, no voicemail. He asked for photos of the work we needed done, then he sent me back his reasonable quote.
He was able to come out the next day to install our shower door. (He was booked up all week after Sunday).
He did a wonderful job! He was very personable; kind;considerate, & honest.
We will definitely call him again if needed.
Call Adam first before you call anyone else !

Don helped me with an issue we were having with our plumbing. Our ejector wasn't working right and it was backing up repeatedly. We've had others come by to work on it, but Don was able to actually fix it. Couldn't be happier - fast and efficient.

First, I would highly recommend working with Swanson Home Preservation. We had some interaction with other home improvement companies about our small fence project. Some of them were shady, wanting to up-charge, or never showed up even to provide the quote and overall we were feeling worried that this project might turn out to be a bust. That was until we contacted Swanson's Home Improvement. Alex provided us with a fair estimate for our fence project. He was knowledgable and thoroughly understood the aesthetic we wanted. Alex's willingness to listen and provide honest feedback along with a fair quote was the reason we selected Swanson Home Preservation for our project.
On the day of the project, Alex and Steve arrived on time and ready to work. They worked efficiently and make a great team. They even went above and beyond by making a custom piece insuring that our fence looked beautiful. They wanted us to be highly satisfied with their work. Honestly, we are. I have included pictures of the final fence project because we are so proud of the work Alex and Steve have done on our project. Therefore, I would highly recommend Swanson's Home Preservation for any of your home improvement needs. I know we will.
