"We had more than 80% of the old house remodeled with new additions. It’s a daunting task and huge project. However, Dimitritis and Joshua made it easy and did a great job in completing our dream home. Joshua was fantastic managing the daily tasks and excellent with details. They were very responsive in re-addressing even with minor adjustments. Definitely recommend."

"We hired this builder for an addition to our home and had a great experience from start to finish. The team was professional, responsive, and kept us informed throughout the entire project. They paid close attention to the details and made sure the new space blended beautifully with our existing home. The quality of the work exceeded our expectations, and we couldn’t be happier with the finished addition. I would highly recommend them to anyone considering a home addition or renovation."

"We recently had our two main bathrooms remodeled by A P Builder (Owner is Angelo). We are totally thrilled with the end results of these projects. Angelo was involved in every phase of the project, many times offering valuable suggestions that we had not thought about. The work was done while paying attention to every detail, no matter how large or small. If and when there was a “glitch”, it was dealt with promptly and completely to our satisfaction. I would highly recommend Angelo and his company for future work at our home. Bravo to A.P. Builders and Angelo for a JOB WELL DONE!"

"Their team managed my property from finding renters to keeping the upkeep of the property. They kept me well informed through out from finding renters to what they needed to do to improved the property. They were very organized with any work they did on my place to meet the expectations of the renter. And they found several solid renters. They are a great resource for helping you manage your property."

"Provider called once with questions about specs and then said he would submit a bid.  I never heard from him again.  I did not pursue his bid as I received several other bids from window/siding  companies.  I must note that Pryor is a full service construction company.  They gut and renovate entire homes.  I called them because they do a lot of work in my neighborhood and it always looks very good.  I think my project was probably too small and unchallenging for them.  I would call them again if I ever wanted to do a more extensive renovation of my home based on what I have seen them do in the neighborhood.   I gave Pryor a D for responsiveness because while I didn't pursue their bid, I never heard from them even after they said they would submit a bid.  A simple "this isn't the type of job we normally do" along with a referral would have been better.

"

Overall we are very satisfied with the work. It didn't take long for John to review our initial drawings and issue a quote and get the job scheduled. Between the time we scheduled the job and when work actually began we made some changes to the plans and John and his guys were able to accommodate. They also found some relatively shoddy workmanship from the builders of our townhome and did their best to point out areas that needed attention. The initial demo and framing went very well and moved quickly. After demo and framing there were times when communication wasn't the best and there were many days when work wasn't done and we weren't kept up to date on the schedule, which I understand is very typical for this type of job and not unique to John and his guys. I do wish he would have used a different electrician. He was pretty messy and rarely showed up and we still have some minor flickering with the lights in our master bedroom. The finishes are excellent and John's tile work was very good. The custom vanity they built for our master is excellent and it's fits perfectly. The shower glass is just what we wanted. Overall I was vey happy with the outcome despite some minor frustrations with the process. I would definitely call John again for other major jobs.

"I am a small time real estate investor and have hired many tradesmen throughout the years. Only three times in my life have I been 100% satisfied with a job. Two of those three times were when I hired Nyberg exteriors. (The other was when I hired a friend of mine to rewire a building) Nybery put a new roof on my English tudor home in Prospect Heights many years ago. It was a very complex roof with many peaks and valleys and very steep. I can't imagine anyone doing a better job than Nyberg did. When I sold the house 15 or 20 years later, the roof was still in perfect condition and it still looked brand new. About a year ago I needed a new roof on my Northbrook house. I am happy to say they are still every bit as good as they were all those years ago. I would tell anyone, you cannot find a better roofer than Nyberg. Amazingly their prices were very reasonable also."

"We originally hired Peter to do the design only. We selected him over other architects and are pleased with the design. He listened to our ideas and provided very practical solutions and helped us with zoning variances. During the design phase, they added "and Builders" to their services. We selected Idea over a lower bid because of our good experience with Peter. The build is in progress and the sub-contractors are profession and do quality work. I will update this report when the build portion is complete."

FAQs for find a custom home builder projects in Chicago, IL

A tiny house is a compact dwelling that revolutionizes living spaces. Averaging 225 square feet but scaling up to 600 square feet, tiny homes demonstrate extraordinary design ingenuity. They seamlessly blend functionality and comfort, proving that limited square footage doesn't mean compromising lifestyle. Through smart design, they maximize smart and offer a complete lifestyle solution in a minimal footprint.

Tiny homes depreciate in value when their customization or construction quality falls below high standards. Homes on wheels lose value in the same manner as vehicles such as cars and RVs. Expert home builders deliver superior craftsmanship that preserves and enhances the home’s market worth. Engaging skilled professionals ensures that every modification contributes to long-term value retention.

Utility bills for a tiny house cost between $100 and $150 per month. The compact design minimizes energy use, especially for heating and cooling, which lowers overall energy consumption. Investment in energy-efficient appliances and improved insulation further secures steady savings. Homeowners benefit from predictable monthly expenses and a cost-effective operating budget that supports sustainable living.

A Tumbleweed Tiny House starts at $90,000 and reaches up to $250,000 for custom-built models. The cost of this premium investment in sustainable, intelligent living reflects the use of high-quality materials and superior construction that guarantees exceptional functionality and visual appeal. Homeowners gain a meticulously designed living space where every detail enhances both durability and style.
