"Bobs work, attention to detail and pricing were outstanding. I've been looking/needing a Handyman since purchasing my home 3 years ago and may have found the guy in Bob! He kept me informed of when the service would be done and an issue that arouse during the work. We talked about best solution and moved forward from there. My neighbor has been waiting for me to give him the referral of Bob's work as he too is needing a skilled Handyman......Bob has earned my referral!"

"David gave me what I thought was a fair price for the work to be done. He asked for 1/2 up front. As a previous small business owner I did not feel this was unreasonable so I paid him 500.00. He estimated the work would take 3 to four days and I thought the same. After several no shows the "mason" showed up. The first clue was he came in a car. According to my wife he was here 2 hours and left, came back for another 2 hours the next day and left again. He said nothing to my wife about leaving or when he would be back. David called a day later to ask about coming out to look over the job and get the rest of the other 500.00. I said he isn't finished and he's only been here 4 hours. So then I looked up the prevailing wage in IL for a mason and found out it is 28.50 an hour. The next day the guy comes back for another 3 hours. David came to look at the work and I walked him around and showed him all of the places that had not been done. So the guy comes back again for about an hour. All told it was 8 hours work, nothing to write home about but it was agreed up front that I wasn't looking for an exposed brick look. I need it tuck pointed well enough so that I could drylock and paint the exposed brick. I will say this was done in the end. The worker left a mess that I and my wife had to clean up, I pointed this out to David as well. I told him I felt he was overly paid for the amount of work preformed and that was the end of it. It's really to bad. It's difficult to get contractors to do small jobs and I had plenty for him to do. I'm not unhappy, just would not hire again"

"Marcus showed up on time to look at the damage and give me an estimate. He was very professional and performed the work promptly He and his laborer did a great job and cleaned up very well. I will have him put the air conditioner into a side wall in the spring when it's warmer. I am very pleased with his work. He also did a couple of very small jobs for me at no additional cost which I appreciated very much. I am more than happy to give him a great review and to recommend him as a contractor."

"Before I start, I have had two bad handymen/ contractors in the past. I had never met Josh before this job.

Cooper's Construction/ Josh was a referral from a friend/ manager of a large retail paint store chain. Josh came in ready to not only quote the interior painting I needed done, but also took the time to walk around the house and point out and explain exactly how they would attack the job, possible obstacles and a REALISTIC completion date (most contractors/ handymen in me past experiences, grossly exaggerate). For this quote being our third, he came in not only the lowest (without asking what the others quoted), but my wife and I felt the most comfortable. To be honest, I am glad that it worked out that way after learning the story of the owner, Josh being in the army and now back helping the economy by creating a company and hiring workers/ creating jobs.
Josh and his team came ready to work (a long drive for them to get to Carmel) and showed up promptly at 9am the day he was supposed to start. They went around and covered EVERYTHING, took down all of the wall hangings and window treatments with great caution and walked through with me to ask which nails I would like to keep in the wall and which nails I would like removed and patched - most painters will not perform this service at no additional cost. His team was very courteous and proper to not only my wife and I while we were in the home, they took the time to make sure our 5 month old son was in a proper room for ventilation and also would come put a smile on his face. No foul language was used at anytime. The project took 3 and a half days. There was one day they did not get here until 11am (9 am or earlier the other 3), but it was due to the severe hail the night before and Josh made sure to call me and let me know he would be late (I wasn't aware handymen and contractors gave that type of professional courtesy). The job was complete and he gave a thorough walk through with me to see if there was anything to my dissatisfaction.
****BONUS**** To make sure the job was complete and I could get the whole view, Josh and his team went around, RE-HUNG every drape, window covering, painting and outlet covers in addition to painting our hand rails and some base boards (which we did not pay for nor discuss) to have the job look absolutely stunning. One painter/ contractor has quoted me an extra charge of $150 to put the hardware back on and move furniture. This was a service Cooper's construction provided with no questions asked, they went the extra mile to touch up stuff they had not even painted.
In conclusion, I will consider Cooper's construction my right hand handyman. I gave him an opportunity to quote two other jobs, more painting and a fence... I will make sure they get my business. To all, do yourself a service and please give this young professional and courteous man a chance to come look at your job, quote and get it done right.
-Sincerely, one happy customer, Justin

"We hired SAL to install new ceramic tile floors in our hall bath, master bath, & master hallway. They also put in new 3/4 cherry hardwood floors in my master bedroom. The craftsmanship was immaculate. He shows up on time, worked on my job everyday till it was done, cleaned up at the end of the day, & most importantly was very respectful to me & my family. I am so pleased with the work that I would recommend SAL to everyone!!!! Great work, great price, great guy!!!

"Scott and his team are wonderful. After recently being scammed by a contractor that we hired to remodel my parent's home, I had to quickly find someone who is honest and reliable. I called Illinois Remodeling Consultants and explained our situation to Scott and he was quick to help us. He immediately went over to the property and gave us his honest observations. Because my parents were taken advantage of, he made sure that they did not have the same experience. His prices are completely fair and he even helped us with that. He took care of everything. We are so grateful to have Scott on our side. He is the best project manager and makes sure that everything is done. We are having the bathroom and floors remodeled and the back door fixed. Later this year or next year we will work with him to have the kitchen done. The photos that I am attaching are of the unfinished bathroom, but you can tell the high quality of their work. They are awesome."

"It was an excellent work. He's dependable, honest, his price are very reasonable and he is just a nice guy and trustworthy."

"They were very professional, arrived in timely manner and finished the job in time agreed upon. They patched walls, moved all furniture, and then replaced every thing back to original spot. They were very neat and clean and made sure everything was cleaned up every evening before they left. This is the second job they have done for me and I will be using them again. Kept some of their cards to give to friends and family. Love the new colors that Tabitha helped me pick out.
