Get matched with top carpenters in Little York, IL

"Very knowledgeable and professional. They saved me a ton of money. I am having them come back soon for an upcoming remodel."

"We have a large 2 building commercial retail/office complex 3 stories tall that we have been completely renovating the exterior on. They have been replacing siding, adding trim, airless painting etc… they can pretty much do what ever you need them to do. Great work, awesome people to work with. We plan on having them back once warmer weather returns."

"Found Sentri on Angi. Jeanette and Violet were very pleasant and efficient in getting a contractor to me in the time frame needed. The contractor was excellent and the roof looks great! I would definitely work with them again if I had additional projects."

"They did a terrific job. They are very good. Everything was very functional except for the dimensions."

"Our house had a water damage that ruined much of the drywall and floor on the first floor and the basement. For such a big repair job, I carefully looked up the reviews and recommendations from Angie's list and talked to 3 contractors that have the highest ratings. AOM was one of the three. David, the owner of AOM, quickly came to our house, assessed the damage, explained to me what need to be done, showed great empathy to our loss and current situation (having to stay in hotel waiting to go back to our house), and put a very competitive bid (about 2/3 the bid of another contractor). We picked them and signed the contract. AOM uses Trello, a cloud-based project tracking system that software companies often use, to effectively and promptly communicate task description and updates to all workers and house owners. AOM workers are professional, hard working, and friendly. For such a big project, expectedly there were some hiccups and AOM had to juggle ours with their other on-going projects. David kindly explained to me various aspects of the repair work and promptly fixed any faults that we identified. I became to completely trust David's professional skill and that he would treat our house like his. Several nights and weekends David came to work late so that we could move back to normal life as soon as possible. In the end, we are very happy with our remodeled house. I sincerely recommend David and AOM for any house remodeling and restoration job."

"Job went extremely well. I had been mulling over waterproofing the basement of a house I had just purchased and renovated. I had Jason from Crawlspace Solutions come out when I bought the house in July, and he provided an estimate which I sat on until November. At the 11th hour (days before we were planning on moving into the house), I called Crawlspace Solutions and talked to Jason and Brian Flanagan, the owner, about updating the proposal. We met at the house and reviewed the project.

Based on advice from my inspector we were primarily looking for an exterior solution. Brian updated the quote for the exterior solution, and then offered an optional interior solution which he said would still be effective and provide options that would make the basement more usable. He went back to his office and provided me quotes for three different options that day.

Based on his estimates, we were able to review pros and cons of each option, and eventually opted for an interior solution. For the same price as the exterior solution, Brian was able to provide the same guarantee for a dry basement, smash out the old basement floor (which was severely cracked), excavate a few inches to up to a foot to both level the floor and provide additional clearance, and pour a new 4" concrete floor.

You could tell working with Brian, he wanted us to have the best product possible, and really wanted us to enjoy our basement. In fact, after giving us an extremely aggressive price, which we had pretty much accepted. He threw in rebuilding the stairs (which were extremely steep and had a cramped turn at the bottom) for no additional cost, doing this required him to do some foundation work, but it allowed us to go from our pristine upstairs (we had just finished over $100,000 worth of renovations) to our pristine basement which he had just redone.

In the course of redoing the stairs, we made a change request which was going to significantly increase cost to Crawlspace Solutions, but also greatly improve the traffic flow of our house. Brian gave us a very reasonable estimate to do the additional work, which literally we were happy to pay. His carpenter was great to work with and a nice guy to boot.

Also of note, when they excavated the basement, it turned out the sewer pipes were higher than the new floor. I expected the worst which was either going to be a hefty extra or some compromise in floor depth. Brian called me up and reassured me that they encountered this all the time, that he had included it in his estimate, and that it would in no way affect the outcome of the project even though he had to replace or reposition a substantial amount of sewer pipe.

Brian, Jason, and the crew all worked very well with my general contractor, which made the process that much easier.

Compound all of this with the fact that Crawlspace was able to do the majority of the work in the half week we had until our move in date, and the result is that I was genuinely amazed with their work and end product. I felt like Brian was personally invested in making sure we were happy with our decision and happy with the end result.

We've been in the house less than a month, and anytime someone comes over to see our new place, I make sure to usher them into the basement to see the transformation of what (when we bought the place) we thought was wasted space into an integral, useable, and even highly enjoyable space. My 2 year-old son asks all the time to go into the basement where thanks to a new, level slab (and the insulating properties of their foam sealant) makes the basement the perfect place to pull him around in his wagon and let him scoot around on his trike.

For a very reasonable cost, we were able to add 50% to the usable space in our house. We are very glad we did this project, and very glad we chose Brian and Crawlspace Solutions."

"Beau was very professional and worked steadily until the fence was done. Super nice guy also. He also does decks and more. We will hire him again."

"Hello, My name is Phil Carr-Jones, I am reviewing my experience of working with and building my own kitchen, using cabinets and doors from Arkansas Wood Door. While I am an Episcopal Priest, it turns out I get to do a lot of things they don't teach you in seminary. Over the years, I have had to get fairly skilled in all the trades, including, no surprise, carpentry. But I am by no means an expert. For instance, I employed a retired carpenter to help out with the crown molding and other trim. Apart from that though, this is all my and my wife's work. So let me state up front, Arkansas Wood Doors is the go to place for the DIY’er who is thinking of remodeling their own kitchen. Here's why: I searched the web for months, literally doing comparisons and research on flat pack rta cabinets. I went to the big box store for a design and pricing in their three lines of cabinets, and I went in for a consult with a small custom shop in my area. Here's what I found. 99 outof 100 rta cabinet companies have their product made in china which means the standards for formaldehyde are going to be as fishy as they smell, plus you can only get cabinets in fixed sizes so if you looking to eeck out every last inch of space you're going to lose a lot and you'll be using a lot of filler strips wasting what could have been useful storage. If you want to go custom, then you only have less than a handful of online options, companies that will make to order in any dimension. For instance, I only wanted an 8 inches deep spice cabinet to allow for greater working room over the counter. My wife and I are pretty serious about cooking from pastries to mains and sides. We want a very serious kitchen. Plus, I'll tall so I needed the room. In any case, if you want something custom your choices online are limited. The big box stores don't really do custom and are just as limited in their options as are the online rta places. Most online rtas offer far cheaply made boxes with construction methods less sturdy. I have found that if I buy cheap, I shouldnt expect my kitchen to hold up past a few years. The finish will fade. The drawers will warp. The joints will open up. The big box stores basically offer the same thing, too. When I go to a big box store to buy something, I do it knowing I probably willl get a year out of it, whether that’s a lawn chair of a power tool. I mean when was the last time you regretting spending too much money on a better grade of power tool? So if you want quality, a better and safer grade building material and much wider choices in sizing then your basically down to three or four options. I went with Arkansas Wood Door and am completely pleased and impressed by the experience. Now I could have spent twice what I did and gone to a small custom shop and gotten the same thing, but I am in to saving money and frankly I enjoy the challenge. AWD worked with me directly. Working up the order and getting the plan for each box just right. If you have never designed and built a kitchen before, there are plenty of tips and guidance on the web and I recommend you heartily research all of the aspects and complications involved. I hit a couple of unexpected bumps. But more about that below. So do your research. For instance you can save a lot of money by building the plinths yourself and only order squared off boxes without the toe kick. By making the platform on which you place the lower cabinets first, you can get that plumb and level, so throwing up the boxes is a breeze. And again, the cabinets are also less expense, a complete all around win. AWD uses an easy system for matching up box parts so assembly was easy. No special tools required. Given the many parts and I used a mix of frameless and face framed cabinets, there was a moment or two when in amongst all the materials I got nervous about having everything I needed, but low and behold, all was right there in the end. I also recommend the concept from French cooking "mis en place" that is have all your ingredients in place and all your tools where you need them before starting out. Also, it was a lot easier to work with my wife than doing it alone, but I did a few by myself and so if that is your only option than you should have no problem. I've assembled a lot of cheaper Swedish flat packed furniture in my day, and the quality and sturdiness of AWD leaves no doubt about how long these will last. Just rock solid. Great thing about AWD is the cost to quality ratio. Cant beat it. Which also means if you make a mistake the replacement is so reasonable it becomes not big deal. I mis-measured one box and so I needed to order the right size. Worked out fine, but that was because AWD had an incredibly fast turn around. The other few reliable companies are several weeks to months. And these other places are crazy expensive. And in truth, the other companies are a complete rip off on trim and accessories. AWD pricing was so amenable that my mistakes cost me so little in comparison with what I was saving. So there's a built in confidence for the first timer. Also AWD made one mistake on the placement of a hinge in two doors. They immediately and without question remade them and sent them out in under ten days. You just can't get that service anywhere in the custom cabinet world. It was so affordable I upgraded on one side to black walnut. Trying doing that at the other quality shops. The quality of the roll out drawers and top drawer boxes is superb and the hinges and under-mount sliders are top grade excellent. The hardware was the easiest part frankly. Their system, for lining up the hardware is just so easy. Drill driver is all you need as the placement is already leveled for you. SO: high end quality custom built cabinets, superior custom support, fastest turnaround in the marketplace, most affordable pricing out there, excellent hardware, and oh yeah, I almost forget, color choices. They offer complete line of lacquer - just pick a SW color and they'll match it. SO completely and truly custom for a fraction of cost without sacrificing any quality. The Rev. Philip Carr-Jones"

"We have used Josh Davis service twice. (1) For power washing and weather painting our wooden deck (2) Clean up landscape and cut an unwanted tree near exterior wall. Josh was very professional and suggested the correct cleaning and painting option for the deck. On both the jobs, he was very reasonably priced and the job was really well done. He responded promptly and finished the job on scheduled time. I would definitely hire him again."

"Quick to respond both setting up contractor and deciding on disposition of claim. Would recommend them to anyone. Highly respectable company with strong focus on Customer Service"
