Get matched with top deck or porch build or replacers in Downers Grove, IL

"I have been in construction for nearly 50 years, so I have developed a keen eye for quality craftsmanship. Our project was no small project, so there was a genuine concern that the right company be hired to do our project. After reading J T General Contracting's reviews, I reached out to Jim for an estimate. Again, as I stated earlier, I have been involved in construction for nearly 50 years, so when a contractor shows up for an estimate when he stated that he would, that is a good first step. In talking with Jim about our project, it didn't take long for me to realize that he knows what he is talking about and how our project should be approach. After interviewing two other contractors, it was a no brainer to go with J T General Contractors. Our project just completed today, and I can state that from the demolition of our existing deck, to the layout and installation of piers, Posts, Joists, Trex Composite Deck (with stairs and raised platform for the Spa) and composite Railings, I could not find one flaw in his workmanship. Jim takes a great deal of pride in the work that he is installing and demands that from his employees as well. Secondly, Jim has excellent communication skills, not only in responding to phone calls or text messages, but explaining what he will be doing each step of the way. I would have no problem referring J T General Contracting to family and friends and will be using Jim for our future projects."

"We recently worked with Sean to redo our back deck. He was quick to provide a quote, shared multiple color and material options and was able to adjust the project and pricing based on a few changes along the way. Sean was communicative throughout the entire process, from demo to construction, and showed up when he said he would. A lot of companies will provide a quote and then send a crew to complete the work. Sean was there every step of the way to ensure the attention to detail and final product matched our expectations. If youâ re looking for a reskin or full redesign, I highly recommend working with Sean."

"They did a great job replacing and securing old drywall in our garage. They installed an electrical outlet which works perfectly but his suggestion, to make it easier, was to use BX which is not code in the area. Luckily I knew that because my parents would have gone with it unknowingly. I definitely wouldn’t hire them for carpentry work. We had a prehung front entry door put in and screen door reinstalled. We ended up having to have someone else come out and redo the job because they installed it so out of square that you could see daylight and the screen door wouldn’t close unless you pushed it with all your weight. They didn’t replace the interior trim or the piece of flooring they pulled out. They did a good job installing the peephole, mail slot and handle. Would recommend for small jobs but nothing too involved. Definitely not electric or carpentry."

"We hired Gerlyn to rebuild our deck, replacing old wood with composite material. Angel and his crew were very professional in their approach to the job and made sure they did everything right. The deck is beautiful, and frankly more solid than before. The price was very reasonable, they started the project within a week of our agreement, and were on the job 8 to 5 every day until the project was completed. I will gladly turn to Gerlyn Services for my home improvement projects in the future."

"Eli and his crew were wonderful to deal with. They took our job of repairing part of our porch structure, tearing out an existing deck, and building a new deck with a different design. They explained what they were going to do and how they were going to do it. They answered my many, many concerns and questions. Eli was very patient with me. They worked around my flower beds, my dogs, my grandkids, the heat and the rain. The work they did to save our porch and build a new deck was flawless. I would definitely recommend this company. It was a pleasure to do business with this company. (My husband and I would give them more stars if possible)"

"It went exceptionally well. Mike was very thorough, on time and communicated via phone or text when I had to run errands. I would definitely hire him again."

"DAL did great work with our big job! They did a front and back deck replacement with additional repairs (back basement wall was in bad shape once deck came off and front window under deck needed reframing). Tim was the single point-of-contact for all the teams: concrete team for the front pad and piers, carpenter team for all the deck work, back concrete pad and piers and wall rebuild, and additional drywall team for rebuild finishing. When the need for repairs was identified, Tim clearly explained the issue and laid out options with rough cost estimates. We went with DAL because they had done a deck down the street last year that looked really good, so we didn't really shop around - that said, they probably aren't the cheapest, but any additional cost is evident in the quality of work and ease of experience! Last note - it took most of a year from contract to build start, so plan ahead!"

"Al Kirsch provided me with his expertise and advice on design and materials for building a deck that enhanced my home’s appearance, and greatly increased my home’s value. He is meticulous in his planning, informative with updates, prompt, and very skilled and precise in all aspects of the construction work itself. The superior workmanship is evident in every detail. I highly recommend Al Kirsch/The Deck Guyz."

"I recently had Brassil Construction tear down my old deck and build a new one from scratch. I honestly canâ t say enough good things about this company. Mike and his team were a pleasure to deal with during the whole process. They showed up on time every morning and were very neat. Itâ s nice to know thereâ s still a contractor out there with integrity. I found Mike on Angieâ s List and reached out to him based on his reviews. Mike came out promptly and assessed the situation, explained in detail what needed to be done, and provided a competitive quote. One of Mikeâ s attributes, is his line communication. Unlike many contractors I have dealt with, Mike will always respond to your text or voice mail. Thereâ s nothing more frustrating than trying to reach a contractor whose voicemail is full and wonâ t respond to texts. Mike was always quick to respond to all of my inquiries. During the installation my wife and I had a few change of plans from our original thought process. Mike was very accommodative in making the changes we requested and also made sure that we were happy once he completed those changes. The greatest compliment to Mike and his team came from another contractor who was interested who bid for the job as well. After the deck was completed he stopped by to view and critique the finished product. After inspecting the deck for about 10 minutes he said, â Iâ ve got nothing bad to say. These guys did a great jobâ . Iâ m now going to have Brassil Construction renovate other parts of my home."

"Great job! Dino is conscientious, honest, knowledgeable and professional. Tore down old deck and cleaned up debris, didn't even find a stray nail. Price was great, the deck is beautiful. I got my money's worth; can't say that often these days. You can't go wrong with Dino."
