Best Home Remodeling in Chicago IL

Mohammed was great! He communicated well and was extremely timely. I had him install my ceiling fan and he did his due diligence to make sure it was done properly. I also asked him to removed a few light fixtures for me and he didn't hesitate. Thanks so much for making this so simple!

I am a new homeowner with a charming but not so handy husband.  I'm always skeptical scheduling with contractors because my husband and I have no idea how much things should cost and what is involved in repairs. AM&L addressed a few minor issues that were identified in our home inspection (faulty light switches, light fixture and ceiling fan issues) quickly and explained what was involved prior to doing the work.  They were even able to repair the light kit in one ceiling fan I thought I was going to need to completely replace.  I will definitely contact AM&L for future electric needs.

Jim and Dave were prompt, courteous and cleaned up their work. They worked through a day long list that included replacing outdated outlets            (inside and outside), installing new ceiling fans and clearing circuit routing issues. They provided clear, practical options when questions arose. In short , they were a pleasure to work with as were the office staff in preparing the final estimate.

These guys are the real deal.  Scott has a great team.  Very professional, clean, competitive etc.. did a rather large job with them on a remodel.  Very knowledgeable and great people to work with.  Already scheduled to bring them back for another project.

Had TY for electrical problems and found he did a great job. Decided to go back to have a yard fence built and Jaime created a fantastic fence. Will continue to use this company.

We hired Handico to help us with our kitchen renovation (just completed in May 2021) for the demolition part. (The company we bought cabinets and countertops from only does installs).  This our third time working with Handico for different household repairs/projects.  The previous two times turned out great, so we had no hesitation calling them for this job.
Working with Joe to set up the dates and the work to be done was easy... all over the phone, with some images shared via email.  Since Handico works on a time-and-material basis (ie hourly rate), it really makes arranging the work so much easier (in my opinion, anyway).
We needed the following done: (1) Take down and remove all existing cabinets and counter tops, (2) remove the soffit that the upper cabinets were anchored to, (3) patch-up where the soffit used to be, and other areas as needed, (4) relocate electrical outlets for the range and Microwave hood, (5) hook up new plumbing to the new sink.  Joe was very keen to our needs; he even sent one of his guys over to check the soffit as an advance scout to eliminate any surprises and secrets the soffit may be hiding (it turned out to be empty).  Joe also requested the drawings and spec sheet of our new kitchen provided by the cabinet company to ensure that the area is properly prepped.  He definitely knew what needed to be done.
The work:  Joe sent Luis to tackle the job.  While a 2nd guy came aboard to help with the demo, Luis was clearly the guy in charge.  Luis was very professional and he knows his trade very very well.  I'll try to attach some pictures to show what was done.  Whenever possible, Luis would ask what needed to be asked.  When necessary, Luis would pull me aside and explain what he needed to do.  And when I wasn't catching on, Luis was also very patient with me.  I did my best to stay out of his way.
In the end, Luis and Handico left the site how it needed to be.  The day after, our Cabinets were installed uneventfully.  Not a single complaint from the installers.  The upper cabinets were mounted where the soffit used to be.  Base cabinets were put in.  All cabinets were cut out for new plumbing and outlets; perfectly placed by Luis the day before.  Aside from the fact that we discovered my walls aren't square (typical for a home built in 1949), the whole project went without a hitch.  Luis did come back to finish the plumbing after the sink and countertops were put in.  Handico delievered!
This was definitely a big job.  While I can't say it was stress-free (hey, it's still a kitchen reno), I couldn't be any happier on the end result.   And without Handico, it wouldn't have turned out the way it did.  We will hire them again in the future.
Oh yeah, the Cabinet people were great, too... but that's for a different review.

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.

These guys are awesome.   They showed up on time totally prepared to do the work we needed done and then asked if we needed anything else done.   They were very neat, quiet and courteous.   It was raining when they got here and they brought coverings for their feet.   Herb and Pedro are fantastic.  We will use them again and recommend them to anyone needing knowledgeable electricians.

Just moved in and had a bathtub that wouldn't drain, even after a full bottle of drano. I called Gene at 10am and he managed to fit me in even though his day was fully booked. He got here by 2pm, was able to unclog the drain and the price was right! What a nice guy and was there in a pinch. I will be calling him if anything else goes wrong!

I needed someone to help with repairs on a condo I have and Welter was quick to respond and get someone out to resolve the problem.  I definitely will reach back out to them if I need repairs in the future.

I am a Big fan of the Chris Hilman Syndicate. Upon moving in, our home had some 1980s era features. Every time I looked at my bathroom and living room walls, I heard flock of seagulls songs in my head. Honestly, there is only so much Space Age Love Song that can go on in a person's head before they go completely insane.

As I teetered on the brink of insanity, I decided we needed to do something about these abominations in our house. We called Chris Hillman based on his good Yelp status. He came over, put our minds at ease and explained things to us. I literally have no skills whatsoever when it comes to building/fixing/remodeling things. In fact, if I tried there is no doubt that I would suffer a fatal injury. Chris' people did not die on the job. In fact, they were very competent.

They showed up on time, did the work they said they were going to do, and Chris inspects it all to make sure its going according to plan.

His crew works hard, and they don't even eat. The guy working only subsisted on a diet of Cigarettes and red bull. I think I need to get as much work done now before this person inevitably dies.

Price was right. Any home improvement is painfully expensive, but at least I didn't vomit 3 times when quoted a price. Only 1 time.

You should consider Chris for your next home improvement project.

Keith Lewis and his crew are absolutely amazing!!!!  Very professional, explained everything that was going on and offered some great advice as to what I can do in the near future. I  was in a very bad predicament, I had no lights in one of my units.  Keith and his crew rectified the issue in a efficient amount of time. I am eternally grateful for Keith, he is truly a GOD send.

I highly recommend James for any electrical needs. He installed new track lighting and a pendant fixture in my loft which was complicated because I have concrete ceilings. He did a great job problem-solving and made sure everything was perfect. I appreciate his professionalism and know-how. The job was finished quickly and the updated lighting in my place looks great.

Great reliable service. We had recently sold our home and needed some work done to the wiring in the garage and the electrical outlets in the kitchen needed to be replaced. Luis came out and gave me a estimate and the job was done the next day. Very pleased with their workmanship and knowledge. Would definitely recommend to anyone needing electrical work done.

I send couple inquiries on yelp regarding my plumbing issue. Alex responded very quickly and offered his help. Although I later found someone later since the person is someone introduced by a friend, I want to thank Alex for his input!

We hired Eligio to install tile in our kitchen. It was a medium-sized job on four walls using subway tile but required quite a bit of attention because of the high level of visibility.

He was very meticulous about his work and ensured that everything was measured and installed very carefully. He was kind, courteous, clean, and was very respectful in our busy home. The work was excellent, and we were very happy with the quality of his work. He spends the time necessary to do the job correctly rather than so many other contractors who do rush jobs without paying attention to details. I highly recommend him.

After having a home inspection while in the process of selling our home, we learned that we needed to have some minor electrical work done.  I called Advantage Electric, and Mark agreed to meet me within the hour.  Just a few minutes later, our work was done!  I was very impressed with Mark's speed and work ethic.  Best electrician in the area!  We would highly recommend him and will definitely use him in the future.

I hired Advanced Area Serv Corp to do the complete wiring for my 900 Sq Ft Master Bedroom Suite Addition. They were totally awesome! They accommodated my schedule and arrived on time. They completed the work on time and diligently cleaned behind themselves. I was impressed with their professionalism and would highly recommend them to all my family and friends

We recently moved to our new home in Elburn, and we wanted to make a few changes.  I wanted a gas range, a garbage disposal, a new light fixture installed and the outlets rewired because they were connected to light switches.  We hired Dave on two separate occasions to complete this work, and we are very pleased.  Dave is very professional, efficient and skilled.  He recommended an air switch for the garbage disposal, which we had never heard of.  We went with his recommendation.  It looks nicer than the traditional light switch on-off for the disposal, and it required less disruption to our kitchen to install.  Before we called Dave, we had another electrician out to give us a quote.  He told us we'd have to rip out a wall or have the switch under the sink.  Neither option seemed appealing, so we called Dave.  I'm so happy we did!
