Get matched with top sunroom or patio enclosure builders in Great Lakes, IL

"Envy sent extraordinary laborers (Rafael and Jesus) who did a fantastic job to prepare and then build my new sunroom. They came to work before 7 am, took a very short break, and worked until 5 pm. They left the project in about the same condition that they found it at the start of their workday. They even worked around my dogs need to relieve themselves. The completed sunroom project was completed beyond my expectations. I will have many days, weeks, and months enjoying my new room. Hire this company. You won't regret it."

"Angelo Pecoraro, the owner of A.P. Builder, was a pleasure to work with from start to finish on our major remodeling project of adding a sunroom to our home. Out of many contractors I called to get an estimate, he was the only one willing to provide options to have the project fit our budget. Once we agreed to move forward, he worked diligently with the architect and village to get the permits finalized (which is a difficult task in my town). Once the work started, he provided almost daily updates of the work that will be completed and any anticipated inspections (which we passed easily). He also reached out himself to finalize details from big items like windows to small ones like the molding. The result was a beautiful sunroom and deck which I receive compliments on regularly. Do yourself a favor and for your next major home remodel/renovation work with Angelo and A.P. Builder!"

"They were supposed to give me an estimate for an addition to replace one family room ad one sunroom that I have. They did the windows, but they never gave me an estimate to determine if I wanted it done. They did deliver the wrong window, but they were very good about ordering another window. They did work for me last year. I don't think the price was too much. They came late. I've used them twice now. I used them even though their responsiveness was not that great."

"This was a great experience.  The company came out to our home and did a rendition on the computer to show us almost exactly what the room would look like on the home, and that was awesome to see.  Then they followed their production schedule.  The permit took a few weeks to get, but once they got the permit, the process was quick and easy.  The only glitch was that when the room was built, they did not have all matching locks for our doors, but they got that taken care of within a couple of days of the room being done, and now all the locks match.  The room is absolutely beautiful!  This is our favorite room in the house!"

"I highly recommend SPU. We used them for roofing. The owner is great to work with, he always answered my phone call when I called and showed up when he said he would show up. He came out to do a quote on Wednesday, materials were delivered that Friday and the roof was done by that Sunday afternoon. The crew was very respectable, they did a great job cleaning up after the job, there was not a piece of garbage or a nail to be found anywhere."

"Let me first say that this isn't the first time I've hired a contractor.  Being that I'm a vendor myself who is self-employed in a different industry, I have always been shocked at how every contractor I've hired thus far has shown a serious lack of professionalism.  I'm referring to being late, not being responsive to phone calls or emails, instances where instead of owning their mistakes they'd rather blame other contractors... I could go on and on.  I've been amazed that most contractors act like they have little time for you and it's an honor to be graced by their presence.  They all seem to be swamped and not want your 30,000 dollars, which makes me believe I'm in the wrong industry and wish I could be more of an a******.  With all that being said, 41 North Builders were by far and away the best team I've hired so far.  I knew at the end of our first meeting that they were the front runners for the myriad of projects I needed done because not only did they thoroughly walk me through how the projects would be executed, but they also offered solutions to left over problems from past contractors.  For instance, we tore out the rugs in our apartment and added hard wood to all of the stairs.  Since our house is old, our stair heights were uneven and cumbersome to go down unless you were familiar with the footing.  John was the first person to give us a solution that wouldn't involve redoing the entire set of stairs and costing us a crazy amount of money.  I could tell that they weren't trying to oversell us, rather get us what was necessary at a fair price.  Who doesn't want that?
I lost some wind in my sails when it took 6 weeks for John to give me an estimate, which brings me to the negative portion of my review.  I would have normally walked away at this point and hired someone else, but I was so impressed by the initial meeting that I wanted to wait and see where the numbers came in at.  I was surprised to find that the estimate was on the lower side of the 5 we received and was excited that they were very reasonable.  Even though I waited 6 weeks for the estimate, the team was able to start the project in 2 weeks and from that point we hit the pavement running.  The downside was that we were still always in the dark as to when people were showing up in the morning, what days they'd even show up to do the work, and when the project would be done.  If you're looking for a contractor to work within your tight schedule then this may not be the best team for you.  If you're able to be flexible, don't mind an average of 48 to 72 hour response to a simple email, and your top priority is the quality of work, then I highly recommend them.  I found John's subcontractors to be very professional, EXTREMELY hardworking, and experts at their craft.  Everything was done to our liking, nothing looked rushed, and to our amazement, was finished ahead of schedule.
Our final project was to replace the deck and decided after seeing how great the team was that we wanted to use them to replace our pressure treated deck with a composite decking.  John hired a different contractor for this project and started after the inside was complete.  We were getting a little anxious because the project was held up due to us switching from wanting a pressure treated wood to composite.  The surprising thing that happened and is why I would recommend 41 North Builders a hundred times over is that John unbeknownst to us, stopped by to check the deck at about 90% completion and noticed that the workmanship was lacking.  Before we ever said anything to him, there was a new crew working day and night completely replacing the deck.  Rather than hoping that we'd never notice their faulty work, which we may have never had, he took it upon himself to make them start completely over and made sure it was done properly.  The deck now looks beautiful and I'm so thankful for John's honesty.  It is clear that he takes pride in his company's work, and wants it done to his liking no matter what the cost may be.  This is why I would hire 41 North Builders again in a heart beat and have recommended them to redo my parents condo as well as one of my coworkers.

"Successful project that was done well. Floor is smooth and level throughout. Transition to other rooms is smooth."

"The job went great.  It was completed quickly, on time and at less than budget.  My front porch on the "old grey lady greystone" now looks great - the old girl has had a face lift.  Most importantly, I have new gutters that actually function around the porch.
My husband and I own the two-flat we live in, and a three-flat I inherited that has been in my family for generations.  Both are old, aging and need a lot of work.  I first met Bob in May of 2014 when I had an urgent need for a critical back porch repair I needed at our "inherited" property.  I called him, explained the need, and he came and made the repairs right away and at a very fair price.  Ever since then, Hansen Brothers have been my "go to" for both buildings.  In the last year and a half, he's made major repairs to the back porches of both places, installed new back porch windows to an enclosed porch, installed a new garage roof, repaired a leaky closet pipe in the basement and fixed my greystone's front porch gutters and overhang.
Bob always finds a way to get the job done, especially when it comes to quirky old buildings. He knows how to do the work and make it look aesthetically pleasing - not an easy feat when it comes to aging buildings. He gets it done efficiently at more than fair pricing.
My husband and I are at a point where we physically can't do much on our own, and having found Bob Hansen has been a godsend to us.  He is honest and always ethical, and his pricing is more than fair.  We trust him implicitly.
