"Michael Garman is a true craftsman. His preparation is superior, ending in a flawless result. He is patient, professional and a thoroughly nice person. I have employed Michael in the part, both for woodwork repair (excellent results), and painting (flawless). I called him again, this time to remove wallpaper and paint my bathroom, kitchen and exterior door. He is so easy to work with, a real pleasure. He is always prompt, communicates very well, is considerate and respectful. HIs attention to detail is superb. It is clear that he takes great pride in his work. This is the third job Michael has done for me, and I WILL hire him again. I recommend him most highly!"

"They were very professional they did a great job and few extra things and a very wonderful cost. They removed all of the siding and installed insulation and new siding on my house, cleaned my gutters and repaired a corner of my roof. I will hire them again to work for me."

"My husband and I own two small income properties in Chicago.  One is a inherited 3-flat, the other a 2-flat in which we have lived for over 30 years.  We are not "land barons" by any means.  This year has been a horrible year for things going very wrong at both of these 100+ year old properties.  I am thankful I found Hansen Bros to help us out, especially because we are in our 60's and it's hard to find reliable, trustworthy contractors who won't take advantage.  Bob Hansen meets all of those needs, which is why I have gone back to him for jobs ever since his first job for me in May, 2014. 
The first job he did was a major repair to the open back porch structure and decking at the inherited 3-flat.  I called him in a panic when a neighbor noticed serious structural problems with the porch structure.  Bob came out to assess the situation immediately and provided a very reasonable quote for the repairs.  He began and finished all the repairs within a week at a very reasonable cost of approximately $4,000 - a very good price given the extent of the repairs.  Needless to say he eased my mind and took a huge burden off of me.
Less than two months later in July, we noted structural problems with the enclosed back porch structure at the 2-flat where we live. I again called Bob and he came out immediately to make an assessment.  He provided a very reasonable quote which I accepted. Bob and crew were out within a week to make the repairs.  Along the way, Bob made solid recommendations to do the repairs in the most cost-effective manner.  Those recommendations included replacing the 30-year-old back porch windows with new, smaller windows that would provide additional structural support to the back porch and be easier to clean since they are tilt-in windows.  Because of his recommendation, he was able to install the new windows to both floors of the porch without having to remove and replace all of the exterior vinyl siding.  The end result was a stronger structure, more functional windows, and a much-improved appearance.
Since then we have also contracted Hansen Brothers to make plumbing repairs to both buildings - all at a moment's notice.  He has also painted our ugly purple back porch (it's been that color since we bought the building 30+ years ago) to a pleasing neutral beige color, making the porch so much brighter.  Bob's next job for us begins on Oct 15th when he will replace and repair our seriously leaking garage roof. 
In sum, we have found Hansen Bros to be very fair with their pricing, and they are honest, trustworthy and reliable.  Bob Hansen actually returns phone calls, and promptly!  They do what they say they will do and when they say they will do it.  What more could you ask for?  We are happy we found Bob and cannot recommend him highly enough.

"Thunder cold called me based on an an inquiry I did for window replacement services at one of the big box stores. They were not affiliated with that store but rather some mutual sharing of marketing information occurred.  This was fine as they were a high quality company, although I did not realize that my contact information had been circulated so widely.  I did also get calls from other firms.

The gentleman at Thunder really spent the time to listen to me and also gave me some good information. This was for replacement windows for my Mom's house (built in early '50s).  He really listened and brought over two products that definitely fit our needs.  The key details were that we wanted vinyl frames infused with a light wood texture (many vinyl frame products are just a uniform color) and one of these product also was using a new high density flexible foam as a separator between the panes of glass. I checked into this technology further and found it to be quite smart and a very good idea.

Thunder is an installer who can represent several different products.  His bid was priced very reasonably and from what I could see on AL and BBB the company had a good reputation.

Ultimately we did decide to go with another product from a different company but this choice was purely because of technical details of the window vendor's design (we had no issue with Thunder and felt that they really gave us superior service.  We would recommend Thunder to other customers and may consider them in the future for other jobs.

FYI - the design difference that cause us to go with another product was that even though the vinyl met our needs and window technology was great, we found that the vinyl extrusion process used was basically for a single style of piece.  In other words, the top and bottom of the window frame were made from the same extrusion as the sides.  Since the top and bottom are different, additional small vinyl pieces are inserted to make the complete window.  This ultimately takes space away from the glass area of the window.  My Mom's house has very short windows and the amount of glass space lost would have been a problem.  We found another vendor who had both the high density foam and a three extrusion process (top, bottom and sides are all different)  for wood colored vinyl. Had Thunder carried that product, we would have carefully considered them."

"I have used Murphy's three separate times to replace doors and windows in my home, and I plan to use Murphy's and only Murphy's in the future. The staff are experienced professionals who are knowledgeable and courteous. They take the time to understand what you want and work to provide just that. These are not pushy sales people or amature carpenters; the craftsmanship that is put in to the installation of each piece is wonderful. To date I have had two exterior doors with screen doors, double entry with screen doors, and two sets of casement windows. I plan on replacing 9-12 windows in the next month with Murphy's and I know I will be pleased with the results."

"Marc responded quickly to our call for an estimate, helped us pick out paint colors and provided a very fair estimate for his services.  His work on the exterior and interior were excellent and the front door now provides good curb appeal for our house.  He cleaned up all supplies and left the house in clean condition - I just had to vacuum up some dust in the bathroom from his sanding of the walls.  I would not hesitate to use his services again in the future for either exterior or interior work"
