"We choose M&M to replace the roof on our home in September of 2019. We choose M&M based on previous work they had done on our home and the fact the company operates from a brick and mortar shop in Crete, IL. On September 10, 2019 we signed the contract with M&M to replace our roof. Shortly thereafter and once we shared our email address we receive an unsolicited email 17 days later on September 27th 2019 from M&M Home Remodeling with tips on how to prepare for fall remodeling projects also included in the email was a coupon for $500 off roofing purchases in excess of $8,500. Up until this time, we had never received emails of any type from M&M and since the work on the roof had not yet started and with the total cost to replace the roof being $10,160 with a $4,500 down payment made, we thought we would be able to take advantage of the $500 off coupon. We reached out to see if we could take advantage of the coupon. We were informed that the coupon was not good on previous sales and the coupon was not honored. The roof was installed on October 29th 2019 and the remaining $5,600 on the invoice was paid. However in addition not honoring the coupon the workmanship and installation of the roof was unsatisfactory. The shingles to not lie flat on the roof surface that butt up against the siding along the roof line. The silver flashing is exposed and is the trim to cover the flashing was not installed. When we reached out to M&M we were told that it was natural for the shingles not to lie flat and the flashing would weather and change color over time. I’ve attached photos to show the deficiencies."

"Working with Chicagoland Home Products for my closets has been an excellent experience. We initially did four shelving projects with them a few years ago. They did such an excellent job and the closets and pantry have held up beautifully, so it was a no-brainer to have them complete my primary bedroom walk-in closet this month. Tammy is a pro and probably the nicest person you’ll ever meet! She remembered exactly who I was, even after a few years, and pulled up the previous design for my primary closet. We tweaked a few things to ensure I was happy and booked the install. The installers showed up on time, wore shoe covers without me asking, were very friendly, and completed my closet perfectly. I love it! I plan on working with Chicagoland Home Products in the future and recommend them to everyone."

FAQs for wainscoting installation projects in Riverdale, IL
Wainscoting is decorative paneling that covers the lower part of a wall for style and protection. Beadboard is a type of wainscoting made of long vertical planks with small raised beads between each board. You’ll see it on walls and ceilings when homeowners want added depth and charm. Both options work indoors or outdoors; beadboard pieces lock together with tongue-and-groove joints, while similar styles, such as shiplap, rely on a square rabbet joint.
The best rule of thumb for wainscoting is to stop the panels at about one-third of the wall height. In a room with a nine-foot ceiling, that’s roughly three feet up. Sticking to this ratio keeps the room balanced, lets plenty of wall color show above the trim, and delivers a polished, timeless look.
Wainscoting can make a room look smaller if the room has low ceilings. The same rule applies to wainscoting as it does to painting any space: to make the room look larger and more open, paint it a light color, such as white or cream. Since beadboard incorporates vertical lines in the paneling, this style of wainscoting is ideal for those wanting to make a room appear larger than it is.
Technically, you can panel any room, but wainscoting shines in open areas, such as a foyer or a tall-ceilinged bathroom. Skip it in small rooms with low ceilings—panels can make tight spaces feel boxed in. Open-concept layouts without clear stopping points along the walls are also tricky, as the trim requires a distinct beginning and end.
Removing existing wall panels before installing wainscoting involves distinct demolition efforts. The cost to hire a professional for demo work is $1.50 per square foot. If the underlying drywall requires replacement after panel removal, an additional fee of $1.60 to $2.35 per square foot is incurred. Completing these tasks properly ensures a sturdy foundation and a flawless finish.
