"I have a 3 flat and needed to remodel the main bathroom in each apartment so that the tenants were not inconvenienced. The company worked with this schedule, began and ended on time. The work done was excellent."

"[Your Name] Spencer,Mitch and Francisco at M and M Roofing Company are an awesome team. I am writing to express my sincere gratitude and satisfaction following the recent installation of my rooftop deck by your team. From our initial consultation, it was clear that your company values customer input and works diligently to meet budgetary constraints without compromising quality. You listened to my concerns with great attention, and your proactive approach to problem-solving truly made a difference during the project. I was particularly impressed by how efficiently the work was completed. The entire deck was built within a week, and it surpassed my expectations in both aesthetics and functionality. The attention to detail and craftsmanship is evident, and I absolutely love the final result. Thank you once again for your outstanding service and dedication. I would gladly recommend M and M Roofing Company to anyone in need of roofing or deck solutions. Warm regards, Nicole"

"Had taken over management of owner occupied 3 flat apartment building. Recently leased apartment to new tenant. Found that work done on master bathroom by someone hired by owner less than two years ago was faulty. A leak in bath room in apartment above had been discovered and fixed, but who ever owner hired to do repair on water damage to this bathroom apparently never replaced wet wall board, just painted and tiled over!
Also about time I was getting quotes for repairing this bathroom, I replaced the old drop-in stove top in the apartment with a new one. However the old unit had knobs in front, while new one had controls on top. This left a open cutout in front of cabinet.
Tom had been out of town when I first started getting quotes, and I had almost decided on an other provider. However, he offered to meet me at the building at my convenience (I am only there once or twice a week) to see what was needed and give me a quote on the spot.
He showed up on time. When I showed him the main 'job' - the master bath- I gave him minimum information. His answers as to what probably happened and what would be needed, depending on extent of hidden damage was spot on. I also liked his suggestions as to how he would fix the problems.  As we went through the apartment I ask the tenant to show us anything else she felt needed to be 'fixed/adjusted'.  Tom gave good answers to the few items she pointed out., and, while honest, did not put me into any bind or make apartment owner seem bad.
After we left the tenant, Tom explained to me what he would do, and how long he expected to take. I also went into more detail about 'prior' fix with him at that time, though it appeared he easily was able to see what had happened. Tom gave me expected time to do all the fixes, and price. I was impressed that he just about promised all could be done in one day without disrupting tenant to any major degree.  Also, he would be able start within a reasonable time frame, which was important to me.
Tom came out and did the work with in  the next week. While I was not able to be there at the time, I reviewed the work he did several days later. He did a very good job. Also, important to me, the tenant was also pleased and complemented his professionalism. He did quality work, timely, and at a very reasonable price.
I am going to use Tom for future jobs as needed at the building. Not only I will recommend him to others, but here are some projects in the near future I am planning at my own home about which I will be contacting him.

"The worked was performed on time and on budget. There are only 2 elite preferred providers of James Hardie Siding in the Chicago area. Chicagoland Builders performed the work for a fraction of the price that the other elite preferred provider proposed, and the work was done beautifully. I would definitely use Chicagoland Builders again."

"We had JEMI PAINTING remodel my house first floor level. The process was simple right from the start. We sat down to design an interior space that worked before anything happened. I then was shocked to see that once approved & ready there was a detailed production schedule that was meticulously detailed down to the week, day & hour. This schedule allowed me to see who and when certain tasks would be finished, truly awesome. They were beyond professional and respectful to my home. From laying down flooring covering current, vacuuming after every day & so much more. While things were rolling the project flew, working together discussing everything from choosing the right tile, flooring & materials. The build was planned & finished with a master craftsman touch. I never worried about the final product because the ease they set up ahead of time was text book. I am beyond thankful that I called JEMI PAINTING to master this monster project.I honestly just saw their work that they had previously worked on my friends house and hoped that he would be able to do mine. Well, they really out did themselves,I am thankful for their hard work, I am truly a happy client. I will definitely call them again to remodel my second floor!"

FAQs for water dock building service projects in Chicago, IL

With the right design and maintenance, a vinyl sea wall capped with concrete can serve you for 50 to 70 years, while poured-concrete walls last 50 to 60 years. Steel or aluminum options last 30 to 40 years, and treated wood holds up for 10 to 25 years. Plan on regular inspections and prompt repairs to keep any sea wall performing at its best for decades.

A bulkhead holds back soil in calm, inland waters, while a sea wall is built for pounding coastal waves. The sea wall’s job is to absorb and deflect wave energy, offering stronger erosion control. A bulkhead mainly keeps soil in place but isn’t designed to stand up to heavy surf.

A sea wall needs a deep footing—four to 10 feet or more—so it can resist shifting soils and constant wave pressure. The exact depth depends on your soil conditions, water depth, chosen material, and local building codes. Your marine contractor may dig even deeper to secure the wall in place and meet the structural specifications.

Plan on a quick visual check every season. Look for cracks, loose panels, or washed-out soil, clear weep holes so water can drain, and trim plants that push against the wall. Catching small issues early helps maintain the structure's soundness and prevents major repair bills later. Your sea wall builder can make recommendations for an ongoing maintenance plan that will help keep your sea wall in optimal condition.

Most residential sea walls are completed in an average of one to three weeks, covering preparation work, sheet piling, and cleanup. Larger commercial walls require additional engineering and can extend well beyond that window. Your crew drives steel or vinyl sheets into the soil, then finishes caps, tie-backs, and grading before final inspection.

The “best” wall is the one engineered for your site, but concrete often tops the list for pure strength and longevity. It anchors soil, blocks water, and handles repeated wave hits better than wood or light-gauge steel. Collaborate with a marine contractor to determine the ideal material for your shoreline and budget.
