"Marcin OF Martin Hardwood Flooring did a fantastic job! The floor looks 100% better then when they were first installed. There were spaces between boards, chips where the finish was gone and lots of dents. the wood came with a very high polish which showed the imperfections and Marcin made the wood look fabulous. He finished the work in two days and we decided to let the finish cure an extra night so on the third day his crew came to lift the stove, rerigerator and table back into the kitchen. His price was the best out of four and if you want someone that does a really great job, he is the person to hire. Doorways, cabinets, and counters were all covered with plastic! I could not have asked for more of anything! Padding rugs were even put down for the temporary placement of my stove and refrigerator in my living room."

"These guys are great. Did a fantastic job and it was done in 3 days. I'd definitely recommend them, one note...park in the back if your dropping off stuff and also bring cash!"

"Progressive Restoration (Marcus Postawa) had a contract with our Town Home Association since 2012. They did an outstanding job on the town homes they painted that year. Due to financial difficulties, our Association did not honor the 2 buildings per year requirement in the contract.  Marcus was more than patient, and worked with the Board in order to fulfill the contract terms.  He even waited 3 years to get the balance paid in full. (9/2015)

The Board of Directors had a 5-way phone conversation with Marcus at a Board Meeting ( April 20, 2016) and we voted 4-1 to accept the new Change Order for 2016, which included a price increase above the 15% contract cost for our default of the 2 buildings per year requirement. The extra cost was due to severe weathering and deterioration of our siding and trim, which was going to require extra time and work. At no time was our Board of Directors considering legal action against Progressive Restoration. 

 Progressive had already signed other contracts prior to receiving our Association's signed contract and down payment, due to one Board member. He needed to complete the other jobs before starting our labor-intensive project. He wanted to begin when he could complete the two buildings from 2015  and start/finish the next two buildings without moving paint , painting equipment, and ladders. 

 I  was the Board member who was in contact with Marc during this new contract change order signed on April 29,2016, and was kept informed of targeted starting dates for our town homes.  He said he was about a month or so out from starting, but an unusual rainy June delayed completion of his other jobs before beginning our town homes.  

 Marcus and his painters had always been courteous and professional to me and other homeowners,  and they were always willing to explain work details.  Marcus contacted me on several occasions to tell me of compromised roofs, cedar trim, and gaps in flashing and siding.  He was told to paint the trim anyway so it looked uniform until it was replaced.

Progressive Restoration fulfilled their contract ( Power washing, caulk, 2 coats of paint...I  watched them while they painted one building in the 90 degree heat). He even included a 60 year caulk at no extra charge. The Board mailed homeowners and asked them to move patio furniture and yard objects away from the buildings prior to the painters beginning, but many didn't comply. The Board had told homeowners that anything not moved would be removed at their own expense, or this area wouldn't be done.  Marcus and his painters moved much of this themselves., at no charge. 

Punch lists were completed.  The President of the Homeowners Association, a Board member on the Architectural Committee, and  I walked each and every building with the painters, with their paint brushes and paint buckets in hand, and asked them to touch up a few areas before they were paid. They reminded us that their work comes with a 3 year warranty, and they seemed very proud of this!

Marcus and his painters did an excellent job, considering the condition of our siding and cedar trim boards. He really is a perfectionist, and I'd recommend Progressive Restoration for any painting job!"

"We recently had our 2-story living room, spiral stairs and railing, 2-room loft, upstairs hall and 2-story staircase, including skylight, repainted. We had decided to make a change from our previous pale gold and cream color scheme to pale gray and cream, with darker gray accents. Our foyer staircase had been a combination of cream paint and a rather dark mahogany stain, with a dated floral runner in gold tone. We wanted to have the stairs stripped of stain and old runner and refreshed with a rich gray stain on the previously stained wood and a fresh coat of cream on the risers. We needed a company that could comfortably work with our two-story spaces. Our contracted work would include two coats of paint on walls, ceilings and beams, trim, metal spiral staircase and railing (special paint) and any needed repair work to walls, ceilings and vents. I prefer to work as locally as possible. I didn’t have much luck with when I asked for any referrals for painters from local tradesmen that we routinely work . One reason was that I was told that the companies that they had success with were so sought after and had such a full schedule that is could be difficult to even get call backs from them. I took to the review websites. After a day or two of research, I thought I had found a good match for our project. I really liked all that I read about a company in my town that had consistently fine reviews, 360 Improvements. The reviews included some of the specialty treatments or structural components that our project had, such as stripping / staining wood and working with two-story spaces. The clients that owner Oscar Santos had worked with had expressed satisfaction with Oscar and his crew in a number of key areas; work ethic, keeping a clean and professional worksite, timely and prompt schedules and general attention to detail and communication. I experienced that same quality of workmanship in our project from start to finish. We called Oscar for an estimate and he returned our call that same day. We had a written estimate from him within 2 days. After tweaking the contract with a few items that I had neglected to mention in our consult, on July 30 we had a contract that we were very satisfied with. After consulting both our schedules and Oscars, we set a date for work to begin on Sept. 30th, with a maximum finish date of October 11th. Oscar and his crew arrived just as scheduled on Sept 30th, at 9am on the dot as arranged. Our floors were fully and securely papered from front entrance and throughout worksite, the larger pieces of furniture we hadn’t moved ourselves had either been moved carefully/quickly to another room as we directed or covered with plastic tarps, and scaffolding was being assembled - all by 9:45! It was impressive, to say the least. Throughout the project crew members were considerate and careful in their work. Their workmanship was consistently neat and professional. Oscar or crew were always quick to answer questions and address any concerns. They showed up each day on the dot, worked quickly and quietly, and cleaned their worksite and adjusted their tarps at the end of the day so that we could still use some of the space. The work on the foyer staircase that was to be sanded, stained and varnished was contracted out to a trusted colleague of Oscar’s. The contractor, Carlos Vasquez, offered suggestions re: the paint/stain configuration, which after viewing some similar pieces online, we adopted for our project. He was patient in custom mixing the stain and experimenting until he was able to concoct the exact color we were hoping for. And when a last coat of varnish dried with a slightly irregular finish, Oscar came to the house immediately to see the issue and the subcontractor worked quickly to fixed it to our complete satisfaction. The contractor also tweaked a finish change that we asked for after the fact. He also did it at no charge to cover any inconvenience for the small trouble with the finish. It was a point of pride to see that his work was done well; and it absolutely was. Oscar was at the job site for the entire painting project, but for a few hours when he was needed one afternoon to give an estimate on another project. The work was completed 4 full days ahead of time. The price we paid was very reasonable. I highly recommend Oscar’s company, 360 Improvements of Warrenville. He and his crew made a stressful home project go as quickly and smoothly as possible. I look forward to working with them again in the future."

"Brian replaced our out-dated kitchen back splash with new tile and the project came out great. From a prompt proposal to finishing the final details, the project was completed as promised at a fair price. We will hire again for other projects."
