Biango Construction strives on giving all of our customers the best quality craftsmanship and pricing in the industry. Locally owned operated. We guarantee your satisfaction! Free estimates.
"I had Biango Construction complete a full gut renovation of my main floor powder room and laundry room/mudroom. This included a major change in layouts and moving walls, doors, HVAC, plumbing, gas lines, and electrical. I also had custom cabinets and hall tree built for the space. The final result is exceptional (see photos). While the time ended up taking longer than originally expected, it was worth it to have a trusted pro do the work and to deal with the permit process. The company was easy to work with, professional, and maintained a clean workspace across my house. All individuals working on my house with Nick Biango paid high attention to detail throughout the entire process. I would highly recommend Biango Construction to anyone doing renovations or wanting built-ins added to their home."

"I contacted this business via Angie's list. Mike Friedman responded promptly. Unfortunately, we played some phone tag. He happened to call me while I was waiting for an important work call, and then the following day while I was driving my kid to swim lessons. I apologized for the phone tag and I asked him if I could call him back when my kid was at his lesson, to which he responded, with a mean tone "No." I told him I was doing the best I could to take care of this job, but I also work full time and have kids. His response to this, again with a mean tone, "Well you're not doing a very good job" Completely unprofessional."

"I found Framar/Frackiel Builders by seeing their trucks in my neighborhood. From that moment on it was a constant dream to someday build a deck on the back of my house. This summer that dream came true after more than a decade of yearning! Bonnie and Mark are so nice to deal with, honest, hardworking and fair. I got a great looking deck! The father and crew son of two came on four of the hottest days of summer to build my beautiful deck. I'm so happy every day to just relax on it! What is interesting most is that other deck builders told me the wait during summer on a deck is 4 to 6 weeks because it is their busiest time of year and they only have two people who do it. Framar/Frackiel Builders says they put up so many decks and porches a week because they have so many different crews working in multiple locations throughout Chicagoland. They were able to start in 7 -10 days, the wait being mostly to obtain the Chicago Permit. The cost was less than other estimates AND the pleasantness of working with Framar/Frackiel Decks far surpassed anyone else with whom I've worked!"

Owner-operated. Uses subs for plumbing & roofing. Cost is determined by the job. No travel charges. Service fees may apply. May contact through email or cell phone
"We decided to remove the old deck in our back yard and build a new larger one with a pergola. Jim did a great job from start to end. Before starting, he helped us deciding the material by providing quotes using cedar and composite. We decided to use cedar for both deck and pergola, and we love how it came out. Jim was very responsive during the design phase. So, we could finalize the design and start construction. At that point we had a tight schedule because of guests visiting during summer. Jim and his team worked hard and managed to be within schedule. The work was done very carefully, with great attention to details and we are very pleased by the outcome."

Reupholstery involves completely transforming a piece of furniture by removing the old fabric, padding, and trim and replacing them with new materials. A professional upholsterer removes the existing upholstery, inspects and repairs the frame if necessary, and then applies new fabric and trim to enhance the piece's appearance and durability.
Custom slipcovers cost between $200 and $1,000 for a chair or couch. They offer a cost-effective way to refresh furniture with a personalized fit and design, costing less than full reupholstery while providing aesthetic appeal and protection.
Reupholstering furniture works by completely dismantling the existing upholstery and then restoring every component with new materials. A skilled professional removes the old fabric, inspects and replaces the padding, springs, and webbing, repairs any damaged joints or supports, and then install new fabric and trim to achieve a refreshed, structurally sound, and visually appealing result.
To save money on furniture upholstery:
Choose simple, single-color fabrics to reduce labor costs associated with pattern matching.
Shop for fabric sales or clearance deals to lower material expenses.
Transport your furniture to and from the upholsterer yourself to save on pickup and delivery fees.
Consider having multiple pieces upholstered at once to potentially receive a volume discount.
The time it takes to reupholster furniture depends on the piece's size and complexity. A professional can reupholster a small dining chair in 2 to 4 hours, while a full-sized sofa may take 15 to 20 hours. If you choose to DIY, expect 2 to 4 hours for a dining chair, several days for a recliner, and several weeks for a sofa.
In some cases, it's possible to reupholster directly over existing fabric, but it's not always recommended. This method works best when the original fabric is smooth and not heavily textured, and when the new fabric is dark enough to conceal the old material. However, it may not provide the best results, and a professional upholsterer can advise whether this approach is suitable for your furniture.
