"They did a great job of leveling the flat roof, and integrating it with cedar shakes. We needed the work done soon, and they were on it as soon as the weather broke. I am delighted!"

"after an overall evaluation of my home for more insulation, the owner saw I had an asbestos tile floor in my basement. It was removed, as well. Tubing, piping was added above the bathroom fan. It now goes outside of the attic. I will not have moisture buildup in my attic any longer. My house is noticeably comfortable, not cold and drafty any longer. I am able to lower my thermostat to 70-71 degrees, instead of 75 or higher. I truly appreciate all the work that was done in my home."

"I feel as though I'm living in a brand new condo! Jerry and Austin of Dynamic Colors did a fantastic job re-painting my entire condo. They are painstaking and thorough in their prep work (and there was a lot of repair prep to do!) and neat and perfectionist in the painting. Highly recommend them."

"The small house we had painted had siding dating back to the 70's, which was colored a dark red.  The northeast side of the house facing the lake had been repainted already a few times, and yet in a year or two, the paint would be stripped off by lake winds down to the bare metal.   It was clearly time to fix things, color and quality!!
I called Castino, who came to look at the house very soon.  We weren't ready for the cost of any re-siding, or siding stripping of the house.  They confirmed that the siding, though old, was still in good shape.  They assured me that good quality painting would not only cover the dark red, but would stand up better to the winds and sun of the lake location.
This was great news, especially since we wanted to paint the house in a light yellow!  We chose a good quality of paint known for its endurance.  They put a crew of about 4 men on the job.  They came on time, cleaned up the area every day before leaving, and did a thorough job.  Scraped off the old paint, sealed the cracks, primed well, everything that a professional job includes.  This phase took some time to do it right, but it prepared the surface perfectly for the paint job.  What a transformation to see that house turn light yellow!  But the amazing thing I reflect on each spring is the way that paint has held up!  In a way, Castino probably lost a repainting job, because it is 12 years later, and the paint still looks fine, even on the lake side.  Since then, we've added dark green shutters to the house, and it looks wonderful.
Thank you, Castino, for this job and many others over the years!  Mary, of Evanston

"I love the work J.J Painting & Stucco did. I wanted a stucco finish for my home and I got it exactly how I wanted it. Not only was the job well done, the J.J Painting & Stucco team was nice and professional. I love the way my house now looks."

"Joe was great. Had to patch up numerous openings in our kitchen ceiling from light removal and replacement during a kitchen renovation. If you haven't done drywall patching in the past, unfortunately, it is not a one day process. Joe came out numerous times to make sure the job was done right and did not rush. Even after paying Joe our final payment and thinking the job was complete we noticed a couple of spots that needed some attention once in the natural daylight the next day. Joe was right out to take care of and made perfect. Does very good work, answers phone calls, and is attentive to details. Would rehire."

"Included repairing several sheets of plywood and reconfiguring venting."

"I have a small crack in my hybrid stucco.  I was nervous about it so I
called Aspire.  Peter came out that same day and rather than making up
some work for himself, he said not to worry about it, "don't waste time
or money." I thought that was so honorable of him.  I really appreciated
that honesty.  I would definitely have him back out to do work because I
really trust him.

"We had estimates from 3 companies, one was much more expensive, the other didn't have good reviews but was similarly priced, we then asked George for addresses of his work.  We went to 4 or 5 homes and they all had nice things to say.  This was the largest renovation and investment we have made in our home--and we had to take out a home equity loan to do it, so we were a still a little nervous--concrete is so permanent. 
We put $1,000 down and George and his men got to work the next week.  It all happened very quickly.  They jackhammered through our front steps the first day (we have a basement closet under those steps so they had to build forms to keep that room) and removed all the other walkways as well.  A neighbor said their window cracked from the vibrations, I wasn't home at the time, but George was calm and had their window fixed.
George was on-site often and when they were pouring he was actively helping and there all day.
The final product is terrific--better than we imagined--from the color to the smooth squares with the brushed look in t 
he middle.  It's thicker than we pictured because he leveled it out from the street all the way out to the alley, it looks really nice.  A bit of concrete splashed onto the house and George had a guy power-wash it the next day, but then when he poured the alley parking area (2 large spaces) I taped drop cloths on our fence in case any splashed.  George removed the tape and drop cloths when they were finished and cleaned everything up nicely.  He also used the dirt they had dug up when widening the pathways to back fill where they had the boards/forms.  We really appreciated that for seeding.
So overall, great results for a fair price.

5/14  We had some cracks over the winter and George and his crew returned last month to sledge out those pieces and re-pour with more expansion joints.  We were very pleased he stood by his work."
