"Called Pryor to get a quote on having drywall, insulation and trim replaced after having drywall cut out due to mold remediation work, after a sump pump failure. I was under a time constraint in order to get other projects completed and Ralph called and arranged a walk through. We met the following day and had a written quote in hand within a few days which we agreed to. Ralph was upfront about timing to begin the project, but unfortunately the current project his guys were working on ran over and we had to delay the start for one week. The drywall guys came as planned the following week as planned and made quick work of the project. Ralph consulted with me on the type of insulation and suggested the best, most cost effective option. The drywall guys were there for about 4 full days and they worked long days, were very tidy and the work looked great. The only thing I was disappointed with was that most of the electric outlets were too far recessed in the walls after the new drywall was installed. Even trying to adjust the boxes out was not effective. We also had an issue with 2 doors not closing properly in their jams, but Ralph sent out the carpenter out who was very mituculous about refitting the door jams and getting everything to work. And he came at 4 pm on Friday over the holidays so props for him! All in all I was very pleased with the work, timeliness, professionalism., and cost.

"I bought a house in Arlington Heights, IL, and I can't rave enough on all the phenomenal work that Awesome design Contracting has done in my home.

It took, three years before I finally was able to find a contractor, that took take care of all the work that I needed to be done.

I stopped at Awesome Designs warehouse and I was able to find everything I needed.. samples of cabinets, flooring, counter tops. They also provide plumbing and electrical work.... Awesome Design Contracting was my "one stop shop". I got new windows.

Once a month, my 6 girlfriends and I get together. We never could decide who's house to go to.. well, now it's been decided...my house.... my beautiful basement.. thanks to Awesome Design! They designed, and finished my 1/2 finished basement. .

After walking around, and looking at my remodeled home, I talked to Jason, the owner of Awesome Design, asking him, if he would like to build my house in Wisc. Without hesitation, Jason asked me to come to his warehouse(one stop shop) and start looking at everything that I might be interested in.

If there was a color or a texture, that was not stocked in the warehouse, Jason, made an extra effort, to have it there the next day.

Picking the color, of my brick...... Jason, kept taking out sample, after sample, until the color finally popped, that I liked.  

I can't express enough how excited I am that I found such a great contractor. Most of all, Awesome Design has a "one stop shop"!

My Wisc house is finished, I cannot wait to bring my girlfriends and share my new built home with them!



If you are looking for a contractor or a needing the smallest thing done, around your home, I highly recommend: Awesome Design Contracting.



Awesome Design will make your dreams come true to your home!!

"Let me first say that this isn't the first time I've hired a contractor.  Being that I'm a vendor myself who is self-employed in a different industry, I have always been shocked at how every contractor I've hired thus far has shown a serious lack of professionalism.  I'm referring to being late, not being responsive to phone calls or emails, instances where instead of owning their mistakes they'd rather blame other contractors... I could go on and on.  I've been amazed that most contractors act like they have little time for you and it's an honor to be graced by their presence.  They all seem to be swamped and not want your 30,000 dollars, which makes me believe I'm in the wrong industry and wish I could be more of an a******.  With all that being said, 41 North Builders were by far and away the best team I've hired so far.  I knew at the end of our first meeting that they were the front runners for the myriad of projects I needed done because not only did they thoroughly walk me through how the projects would be executed, but they also offered solutions to left over problems from past contractors.  For instance, we tore out the rugs in our apartment and added hard wood to all of the stairs.  Since our house is old, our stair heights were uneven and cumbersome to go down unless you were familiar with the footing.  John was the first person to give us a solution that wouldn't involve redoing the entire set of stairs and costing us a crazy amount of money.  I could tell that they weren't trying to oversell us, rather get us what was necessary at a fair price.  Who doesn't want that?
I lost some wind in my sails when it took 6 weeks for John to give me an estimate, which brings me to the negative portion of my review.  I would have normally walked away at this point and hired someone else, but I was so impressed by the initial meeting that I wanted to wait and see where the numbers came in at.  I was surprised to find that the estimate was on the lower side of the 5 we received and was excited that they were very reasonable.  Even though I waited 6 weeks for the estimate, the team was able to start the project in 2 weeks and from that point we hit the pavement running.  The downside was that we were still always in the dark as to when people were showing up in the morning, what days they'd even show up to do the work, and when the project would be done.  If you're looking for a contractor to work within your tight schedule then this may not be the best team for you.  If you're able to be flexible, don't mind an average of 48 to 72 hour response to a simple email, and your top priority is the quality of work, then I highly recommend them.  I found John's subcontractors to be very professional, EXTREMELY hardworking, and experts at their craft.  Everything was done to our liking, nothing looked rushed, and to our amazement, was finished ahead of schedule.
Our final project was to replace the deck and decided after seeing how great the team was that we wanted to use them to replace our pressure treated deck with a composite decking.  John hired a different contractor for this project and started after the inside was complete.  We were getting a little anxious because the project was held up due to us switching from wanting a pressure treated wood to composite.  The surprising thing that happened and is why I would recommend 41 North Builders a hundred times over is that John unbeknownst to us, stopped by to check the deck at about 90% completion and noticed that the workmanship was lacking.  Before we ever said anything to him, there was a new crew working day and night completely replacing the deck.  Rather than hoping that we'd never notice their faulty work, which we may have never had, he took it upon himself to make them start completely over and made sure it was done properly.  The deck now looks beautiful and I'm so thankful for John's honesty.  It is clear that he takes pride in his company's work, and wants it done to his liking no matter what the cost may be.  This is why I would hire 41 North Builders again in a heart beat and have recommended them to redo my parents condo as well as one of my coworkers.
