Get matched with top sunroom or patio enclosure builders in Fairview Heights, IL

"I had a Patio Cover installed by Tim Broughton and his crew back in September 2023. When I was getting estimates I had submitted inquiries through several Patio Cover Manufacturers on-line who in turn notified local installers who contacted me to provide estimates. As these local installers contacted me I did my due diligence and looked at reviews. I decided not to use Suburbia because I had read some poor reviews on the internet. His wife continued calling me to try to schedule a bid and I finally told her I had read some poor reviews. She explained to me that the bad reviews were for a hardscaping company that they had initially worked with and that they were no longer associated with that company. I decided to go ahead and let them give me a bid because the patio cover they were installing was precisely the one I really wanted. Mr Broughton came over within a couple of days, explained everything thoroughly, gave me a decent bid, and was likable. I decided to go with him and his company. He returned with the contract, I gave him a deposit and everything was in motion. The product arrived early and was delivered by a different company and Suburbia started the work early. The work was performed in a timely manner and about two weeks earlier than expected and that is where the professionalism ended. On the day of the install, a Monday, I questioned him about the permits. He told me he hadnâ  t had time to get over there since they started earlier than expected and that he was going to take care of it at the end of the day. Hindsight is 20/20. I should have put a stop to the work immediately but I didnâ  t. The next day they returned and started working again. I asked him about the permit. He said he dropped the paperwork off the day before and would return at lunch to get the permit. Meanwhile, one of the crossbeams was damaged during shipping so they had to order a new one. They completed the cover on the second day, except for the side crossbeam, and said they would return when that came in and finish the job. He asked for the remainder of the money except for approximately 10-15% to be paid when everything was finished. I again questioned him about the permit. He was apologetic, he was so busy he hadnâ  t had time to get back up to the city to pick them up, blah blah blah. When he returned to finish the cover he would have all the paperwork in order. Fast forward about Six weeks. The new crossbeam comes in, he schedules a day to come install it. They arrived early in the morning and had it completed within an hour. He asked for final payment and I asked for the permits. He said he would go get them and return in the afternoon. I told him I would mail a check because I didnâ  t currently have access to my checkbook. He never returned with the permit because he never took care of getting the permit. The work was performed unlawfully and in breach of the contract. It was the companyâ  s responsibility to obtain proper work permits from the city prior to performing the work in accordance with the signed contract and in accordance with the municipality ordinance. Mr. Broughton knowingly and willfully did not get the permits and he knowingly and willfully lied to me on several occasions about the status of the work permits. Mr. Broughton will not respond to my telephone calls or my emails regarding this issue. Now it will be my responsibility to obtain the permits and to also pay the fine for not applying for the permits prior to starting the work. In addition to the breach of contract, the gutters leak. I have told him about this issue and he said he would fix it but he still has not fixed the leaky gutters or responded to my request for the permit and final paperwork. I have been more than patient giving him over six months to make things right and he has not made any effort to do so."

"Fast."

"We, a HOA, did a competition to fix multiple locations our 20 year old white vinyl fence. The Easter attention to detail and price were fantastic and their price was far cheaper than their competition and our prior contractor. Although it took a few months for the repairs, it was still quicker than our prior contractor. A prior fence company had replaced posts higher than adjacent posts plus some lean a little. Easter repaired 12 different locations. All the posts were the same height as adjacent posts plus didn't lean. I know where all the repairs were completed. However, I could not distinguish between the old and repaired sections, except where one rail, which didn't need replacing, still had a small smudge from the dirty snow where it had been laying."

"Stayed true to estimate didn't try to nickle and dime us after the fact. Also gave us option to rather than replace gutters to clean, repair and hang properly. "

"We hired them to level our porch and install a metal ramp. They completed the job in a very timely and professional manner. Clint made sure the job was done to our satisfaction, and let us know we could contact him if any concerns arise. We would not hesitate to hire him again for any future projects."

"I had a horrible experience with Maris Home Improvements. I don't recommend them. You are better off going with Window World!"

"The people from Life Outdoors were great to work with. We had 2 retaining walls replaced along with new grass planted between the 2. They did excellent work and are very friendly & knowledgeable. I will definitely use them for future projects."

"It was a custom job, a big shower, but the sales guys reassured me that I would get a finished product and all I would have to do was paint the ceiling. He said it would be about 3 days, but the job took 7 days and ran into my son's 7th birthday party. The first mistake we noticed was that the walls were not level and the grout lines were off. We called the installer and they rushed back and pulled the wall down. The seal between the two walls never fit quite the same after that. Then we noticed on the back wall behind the bench that it was bolted to the green board and not wooden framework, and the greenboard had already begun cracking from sitting on it a few times just to test it. So they came back and hammered a 2x6 in there and acted like it was no big deal. The concrete poured under the base of the tub didn't meet the outside edge or the corners and instead shims were left in place that came loose, causing the tub to dip and the caulk to crack. So I hammered in my own shim and poured the concrete myself, repairing the caulk afterward. Water is still pooling in the far right corner of the pan but there's nothing I can do about that. The hole cut in the ceiling for the can light was off center so I had to widen it to get the light in there. Because of this, it was too wide to make a proper seal and I had to caulk around the outside edge of the light. Neither of the shower heads had a washer in them and both were leaking. The hot and cold are backwards. The ceiling was not caulked, nor the trim along the windows, not the trim around the outside edge of the shower where it meets the drywall. This was done after I spent a couple days building the drywall up on both sides, four layers of mudd and sanding to properly level and prepare it. In all I probably spent five or six days on the shower installation that I was told would be done in three days, and all I would have to do was paint the ceiling. Instead I'm pouring concrete, caulking, mudding, painting and texturing, cutting baseboards and I'm slow at it because I'm a nurse and not a carpenter. That's why I wanted to hire professionals. And I told them they owed me some money back, a figure that was around 40% and the manager told me he would call me on Monday and that was over two Mondays ago. The project took a long time to get started, it took a long time to get finished, it was not done right, it was not done professionally, and it was not the finished product I was promised."

"My childhood home was like a museum for the year 1977. After speaking with me a couple of times, Dana was able to create the perfect design, even though I wasn't quite sure how I wanted to modernize when I moved back in. Dana is very patient and awesome to work with. I definitely recommend her"

"Finding someone trustworthy that does a great job with great customer service is hard to do. When the project is expensive it makes it more nerve wracking to decide who to go with. If you are lucky enough to find someone that checks those boxes, they become your go to people for your projects and as well as who you recommend. A few years ago I had Hoffman replace my driveway and was completely happy with their service from initial contact to completion. Years later I’m still completely satisfied with my decision to use them. Recently I decided to pour a shed pad and replace an old back patio. There wasn’t a doubt in my mind on who I should call. Like last time the entire experience was top notch. Jessica is amazing to work with from the start and is very friendly and communicative. The owner Mark really cares about the quality of work and clearly appreciates your business. His son, who runs the concrete crew, is also awesome to work with and really cares about a customer-first approach and performing quality jobs. The rest of the crew is also very engaging and respectful and performs high quality work. If you or someone you know is looking for concrete work I cannot recommend them enough. I have a high expectation for work done at my house and they exceed those expectations. You cannot go wrong giving them a call and having them perform the work. They will continue to be my go-to company for all things related to concrete."
