Get matched with top garage builders in Berwyn, IL

"Garage was built well. Wasn’t happy with the concrete guys they used.(0 stars)Thought I’d have a patio poured as they did the slab for the garage to make it easier. They ended up sloping it towards the house. Water runs towards my house on rainy days and sits behind my basement foundation. Very noticeable by eye too. When I put a table or chair on it, the whole set sits crooked. I have to wedge it with a piece of wood to keep it level. I have cracks in several places as well after the first year which I know no one guarantees but thats besides the point. Called them to address the issue but never got a response to the problem. I’ve had to look at it everyday for the last 2 years and it frustrates me. Called them back, explained the situation again…. even suggested to redo it at cost….they said they would get back to me ….but no response…again. They tell you about how good they are but when you try to address it, they don’t do anything. I guess I’ll have to tear it out and it replaced by someone else. I don’t like leaving bad reviews but I gave them plenty of opportunities to make it right. It’s ashamed because I had a lot of people asking me for referrals. I even paid more that other quotes thinking they were different. I didn’t feel confident in recommending them. If anyone wants to see the work, please let me know. Hope it was worth it guys! UPDATE: 4/24 Bob proactively reached out to me and was unaware of the issues I had with the concrete. Internal communication issue? I don’t know. Apparently they've had issues with that concrete contractor and no longer use them. Garage4you said they want to make it right. Totally wasn't expecting that. Currently in the process of correcting the issue. I will update the review once completed. Just thought I'd let everyone know as you are gearing up for garage work soon. Maybe I was wrong and there are good ones out there. We shall see. UPDATE: 5/25 Well....a year has gone by and Issue has not been resolved. I reached out toward the end of summer thinking that they were busy and would do it in fall. Never happened. Obviously couldn't do it in winter. I told them let’s set it for early spring. I had to called in April to follow up. There has been no sense of urgency on their part. I keep getting the run around as if they didn't want to do it anymore. Not sure why this is so hard. You had a different contractor come out to validate that it wasn't done right. Then you put it in writing what needs to happen and it still hasn't. I even have all the texts archived. This is getting frustrating again but goes back to my original intuition. They are really good at telling you "how good they are" but when it comes to things like this, don't want to take responsibility; even though they acknowledged it. (which is worse in my opinion) Just wanted to get this done before I beautify my backyard as I know it will get torn up. I will give them one more week to schedule or tell me what is happening. If I don't hear back, I i'll most likely have to take it to the next step. Hopefully my next update is more promising. I've posted some pics so you can see what I am talking about. Pics don't do justice. 6/25/2025-Well. Now they are ignoring me. Guess I have to take it to the courts.............This is why contractors get a bad name! 9/25. Formal demand letter sent before it goes to courts"

"They did exactly what I needed. Professional, thorough in cleaning, explaining the process."

"They are starting the project today. So far Gene has been very proactive and professional. He has a plan to complete our project. Stay tuned. "

"Value Garage Builders finished my new garage in only a week. They replaced a tiny one car, dilapidated old garage with a gorgeous two car garage ... My experience working with Mike, (the owner of the company), was very straight forward, honest, and positive. Mike was quick to come out and give me a quote, he did not price gouge me, like the other companies tried to, his price was very affordable, Mike was in touch throughout the entire process. He truly cared about delivering a beautiful, finished product. Mike’s entire crew were very skilled, efficient, and pleasant to deal with. ‘I love my new garage’ I highly recommend Value Garage Builders with no hesitation. Shout out to Eric! His work is outstanding! Thank you so much Eric! Thank you so much Mike! your crew did a phenomenal Job!"

"Thanks Mike and BLue Sky Builders, they built our awesome garage in 2003. Came out today for some framing and a small siding fix. Maintenance on both garage doors and three new openers. Outstanding !"

"Wally & his crew were very reliable. They were usually earlier than they said they would be at our house. They installed interior doors, recaulked my tub & refinished my wood floors & installed new trim. They also fixed a bedroom ceiling that was water damaged & painted it.I will hire them again in the future. I recommended them to my neighbor."

"Jake and team did a great job! They did what they said they would do, when they said and the final product was great! Thanks Jake!"

"After 70 Years – Now Living Off Its Laurels? Buyer Beware! This very recent experience has been like visiting an established restaurant and the food served was good, but the overall treatment and service were horrendous. It is unconscionable to believe this company has been in business for over 70 years and treating its customers so disrespectfully with such poor and inept customer service. Perhaps they engage in disparate sales and customer service practices - do not treat its customers equally. Otherwise, how could they remain in business? Sub-contractors were hired, whom Steele and Loeber did not supervise or monitor. Throughout the construction process, we frequently we were not informed when the workers were coming to perform the work. They just showed up. On two separate incidents, the sub-contractors blasted their music from their boom box while working, in the early morning hours. Long-time next-door neighbors who work at night, sleep during the day or work from home were not entertained. They threatened to call the police. Each time, the workers promptly stopped the music when requested. Twice, the electricians were no shows, after confirming the day before. I also had to pay (per a waiver) for a damaged sprinkler pipe that the electrician mistakenly split – water was gushing everywhere. The drywall contractors did a good job installing the firewall on one side of the garage. However, we were not ever informed that the drywall work was completed because they left behind a drywall panel and other small materials. After two weeks, I asked when the guys would return and was then notified that the garage had been completed. The rep never bothered to call, visit or text, to inform us of the completion – nothing – just silence. We risked parking our cars on the street an extra two weeks for no reason. The drywall panel remained in the garage for about another week before having to call them to request removal. A few days later, workers came out to install gutters and downspouts. Upon being informed the garage was complete, I inquired about the open backyard 25-foot-long trench dug by the electricians and remained, after passing inspection two weeks prior. I was told closing the trench was my responsibility to cover. After the concrete foundation was laid, I requested that the concrete guys come back and clean up my neighbor’s sidewalks that they had disfigured with vast concrete residue that had now hardened. A month later they returned to clean up. Luckily, my neighbor’s sidewalk is back to normal but ours remains disfigured. One month after completion, water seeps into the garage when backyard sprinklers are run. Rep texted me saying it must be due to torrential rains at that time but will come by and apply caulk. It has been three weeks without any communications. Prior to delivering the building material, I requested a copy of my sales contract, and spoked to Phil, the owner. He was cantankerous, discourteous and rude when questioned why full payment was required prior to the work being completed. Office staff never provided a copy."

"We were referred to this company and spoke with Steve. During early phone conversations, we were told the job was usually around $1,000. We scheduled a 10:00am appointment. Steve called after 10:00am to confirm, but did not arrive until close to noon. When he came to see the space, the price discussed was $1,500, which we agreed to. We paid a $750 deposit via Zelle to schedule the work and signed the contract. We agreed to purchase the exhaust fan ourselves. After purchasing it, we were told there would be an additional $200 charge to install it. We were also asked to send an additional $75 via Zelle for HOA paperwork and insurance. No work was performed other than the site visit. After multiple added costs were introduced and before anything started, we decided to cancel. We were then told the deposit would not be refunded. With no work performed, a partial refund felt reasonable. That was not our experience. We would not use this company again."
