"We recently worked with Mike Rosian to build an attached 20x24 cabana in our backyard. We were convinced we wanted to work with Mike after we saw what a beautiful job he did on our neighbors pergola. Not only do we love the final product but from the start Mike was an absolute pleasure to work with and he was a man of his word. His responsiveness, organization, guidance, knowledge, work ethic, and business acumen are only a FEW of the reasons we are so happy. Thanks mike, you turned our backyard into paradise!"

"Very good experience. We've used them several times. We used them a year ago to put in the fireplace grate and to change our fireplace to a gas fireplace and actually put the gas lines in. They're a really terrific place. They've been in business for about 40 years.  <br /> <br /> We went two other places and then we went to them. They had everything on display that we wanted to see, which we ultimately purchased the style they had on display. They came out and did an estimate to evaluate what they could actually put in the gas line. They measured everything. And then it took 2-4 weeks and then they came out and did the job. The installers are excellent. They know the product. They are very neat and conscientious. They are very good about explaining what the product is and how to use it. We've used them for a very long time. They are excellent. The price is pretty standard stuff. They are right on the ballpark. The quality of the product and the quality of the service is excellent. They call ahead and they're right there on-time. And if there's any issue where the guys tied up or they're going to be late, they call and let us know.  <br /> <br /> The salesmen are very professional. The installers have been with them 20-30 years. They really know how to deal with people. They know the products and how to install them. They're really very good. We've had lots of house stuff done over the years. They're really the best. I'd absolutely use them again."

"We received four quotes for the project ? Joel stood out because he showed up for the estimate on time and was very honest and upfront about certain issues and other considerations we needed to think about.  Joel provided an initial sketch and detailed estimate as promised on time.  One provider came to measure and evaluate our space, never even provided an estimate and went radio silent.  Another provider provided an estimate but was fairly unresponsive and seemed like they didn?t even want the business.  The other Chicago roof deck provider started the conversation always with ?tell me what your budget is? and to boot made us take the pictures and measurements ourselves. <br /> Joel was patient with us as we made decisions on design elements.  The process went very smoothly.  His carpenter Dan was a total pro, knowledgeable and experienced.  His team worked quickly and was able to make minor changes on the fly.  We had one miscommunication (partly our fault) about the size of the bench and planter boxes ? Dan was able to adjust as needed.  Joel coordinated with a roofer to make sure there were no issues with the underlying roofing.  He also had an electrician install power and light fixtures on our deck.   My only complaint with the process was with the selection of fixtures and other customization options--since these guys can pretty much do anything, we often felt overwhelmed by all of the choices.  In some ways it would have been a less stressful process with less choices or selection of recommended choices.   Joel was easy to get in touch with both by email and phone.  In the end, Joel finished the project on-time, on budget, and produced a great product.  Our deck is truly beautiful and we got everything we wanted.  Highly recommended. <br />"

"Although crew generally tried to clean up on a daily basis, there were some cleanliness issues, namely, inadequate protection from concrete dust (e.g. no plastic sheeting to protect stored possessions) and carpenters wearing same muddy footwear as had been worn working outside on decks at other jobs.   Duration of job was much longer than expected due to crew working on other, outdoor, jobs intermittently. On the positive side, several additional services involving electric and carpentry were performed as requested after work began."

"The entire process was conducted in a friendly and professional manner from our first visit with Sara at the design center through final inspection. The design center has plenty of life size material samples which gave us a real feel of what to expect. We liked the way we were asked about our expectations and to set a budget, as well as a wish list. They designed to the budget, which impressed us, along with a wish list. When we reviewed the plans with Sara, she nailed it, the plan was within budget and we were so impressed we decided to incorporate a few of the additional wish list details. The estimated start date was bested by a few weeks which was a welcomed surprise and the crew were prompt, friendly and professional in their approach. Archadeck provided daily e-mails with updates and we always felt as though we were being well taken care of. The quality of product and workmanship are impressive as we have had many compliments by anyone that has experienced it. The deck is elevated leading down to the patio, and I joke with people that if the house blew away the deck would still be standing. Solid build. The patio pavers have a tumbled look and make it appear as though it has been there for years, in a very comfortable and pleasing way. No surprises, quality product with prompt and professional workmanship made this project a pleasant experience. And one last thing, it was right on budget."

"While it took quite a lot of effort on our part to finalize the colors, pattern, etc, once scheduled, the crew promptly showed up every morning on the job, worked with the village inspector to ensure the base and landing step construction met local codes and best practices (village required a deeper base than originally laid by the crew).  They worked quickly and with as little disruption and as cleanly as can be expected.   <br /> After the first winter, there was some settling along the house due to filling in a window well done by another contractor.  I called Maria and she came out, took a look, and sent her crew out to re-lay the area and backfill to make things right at no additional cost. <br /> Overall, we are very happy with the end product and would recommend working with Maria and crew as long as you have a pretty decent idea of what you want in terms of design. <br />"
