2.0 Tom B. Evanston, IL

Jim is a nice enough person to work with if you do not have a timeline. Some of his subcontractors are great like flooring. Others, particularly his plumber, are terrible. Multiple code violations and callbacks to fix issues. My advice if you decide to use Jim is to not use allowances and make him provide a fixed price contract. He likes to make up the difference in his cheap quote to get your business by having most allowances categories come in much higher.

Response from Company:

This is fraudulent. We didn't work for Tom B. in Evanston.

We hired Jim to build a major, two-story addition and he did an excellent job! It was a complicated project and we are very happy with the results. Jim has the right personality and experience to guide you through the inevitable stress and we will continue to recommend him to family and friends.

Response from Company:

Hello Matthew, Thank you for your kind words and trusting me with your home. I love the way it turned out and hope you are enjoying it. Take care!!

Jim is extremely easy to work with. He is very friendly and flexible. We have worked with him on multiple projects over the years. Including major updates to every floor of our house like new kitchen, master suite, windows, exterior, etc. his crew is also very friendly, accommodating and tidy. We could not recommend him more and will be sad when all of our projects are done.

Response from Company:

Hello Kelli, Thank you for finding all of these projects to do with you. You always greet us to your home with a great smile and warm welcome. Take care!!

It was a major project, we added a second floor and opened up our kitchen to have an open concept living room. It took longer than originally expected but was worth it in the end because the work is beautiful and we love our â newâ home! The cost was what we expected and well worth the beauty and quality of the final product!

Response from Company:

Hello Jennifer, I hope you are enjoying the additional space. It was great to add bedrooms. a bathroom, and curb appeal. Take care!!

Walsh Custom Homes is the company to call for building, remodels, and renovations. From start to finish, Jim Walsh and his team listen to your dreams and needs, and they offer innovative design ideas and creative, feasible solutions. Originally, we called Mr. Walsh for a modest kitchen remodel, then his vision turned our home into an open-concept, lofted-ceiling, sky-lit showpiece. He made the larger version of the project easy and affordable. Especially impressive is the professionalism and courtesy of all the subcontractors with whom Mr. Walsh has worked for years. At every stage, we have felt we are in good hands. The prices for everything have been more than fair, and the results are breathtaking. Mr. Walsh and his people are smart, hard-working, and accommodating. One of their many mottos is â No regrets!â And, indeed, the results have allowed us to experience the relief and joy of that motto every step of the way. Thank you, Walsh Custom Homes!

Response from Company:

Hello Elizabeth, Thank you for such a thoughtful review. We were designing on the fly to make your home the best it could be. No regrets.......love it!! The final result is breathtaking...... Take care!!

Response from Company:

What is the screening process that Service Professionals go through in order to become members of the HomeAdvisor network?

  1. Verify Trade License
    HomeAdvisor checks to see if the business carries the appropriate state-level license.
  2. Verify Insurance
    As a part of our screening process, we encourage professionals to carry general liability insurance. We require coverage for hundreds of services.
  3. Verification of State Business Filings
    For business types that require a Secretary of State filing, we confirm that the business is in good standing in the state in which it is located.
  4. Criminal Records Search
    HomeAdvisor uses 3rd party data sources to conduct a criminal search for any relevant criminal activity associated with the owner/principal of the business.
  5. Sex Offender Search
    We confirm that the owner/principal is not listed on the official state Sex Offender web site in the state in which the owner/principal of the company is located.
  6. Bankruptcy Search
    We use 3rd party data sources to check the history of the principal/owner of the business for bankruptcy filings by or against them.
  7. Legal Search for Civil Judgments
    We use 3rd party data sources to check the principal/owner of the business for state level civil legal judgments entered against them.
  8. Liens Search
    We use 3rd party data sources to check the principal/owner of the business for liens placed against them.
  9. Identity Verification (SSN)
    HomeAdvisor verifies the social security number(s) of the owner/principal for identity check purposes. This check applies primarily to smaller business entities.
