Get matched with top sunroom or patio enclosure builders in Rogers-park, IL

"Angelo Pecoraro, the owner of A.P. Builder, was a pleasure to work with from start to finish on our major remodeling project of adding a sunroom to our home. Out of many contractors I called to get an estimate, he was the only one willing to provide options to have the project fit our budget. Once we agreed to move forward, he worked diligently with the architect and village to get the permits finalized (which is a difficult task in my town). Once the work started, he provided almost daily updates of the work that will be completed and any anticipated inspections (which we passed easily). He also reached out himself to finalize details from big items like windows to small ones like the molding. The result was a beautiful sunroom and deck which I receive compliments on regularly. Do yourself a favor and for your next major home remodel/renovation work with Angelo and A.P. Builder!"

"They were supposed to give me an estimate for an addition to replace one family room ad one sunroom that I have. They did the windows, but they never gave me an estimate to determine if I wanted it done. They did deliver the wrong window, but they were very good about ordering another window. They did work for me last year. I don't think the price was too much. They came late. I've used them twice now. I used them even though their responsiveness was not that great."

We had always wanted to add additional living space to our 1400 sq. ft. ranch home.  We had always had (40 years) a cement patio that led from our patio doors from our kitchen.  It got limited use due to heat/cold extremes and bugs.  We had been researching for roughly 10 years the possibility of an addition to the back of our home.   Earlier this year, we were at a home improvement fair and stopped by a Four Seasons Sunroom booth.  We had heard of the company and decided to talk to the gentlemen in the booth to get a better perspective of their sunrooms.  After listening to them and knowing what we had envisioned for an addition, it just seemed like a perfect match.   My wish list was:  1) the addition had to give me the same feel as being completely outdoors; 2) climate control so we could enjoy it year round; 3) spacious enough for entertaining.  Our specs included: approximately 15 ft width X 19 ft depth x 8 ft height (about 300 sq. ft).  Creative Concepts Home Improvements, Inc.'s base price for a Four Seasons Sunroom was $49,700; additionals were:  1) a heating and air conditioning unit $1,250; 2) flooring $1,900; and a separate electrical box $925 (optional).   We had originally included the installation of a ceiling fan, however, once we saw how low that ceiling fan was going to be in the room, we decided to cancel the ceiling fan. It would have been obstrusive in the center of the room due to low ceiling height and additional air circulation wasn't needed.  The heating and air conditioning unit also provided a fan which works beautifully for air circulation if required.

The design team and the two gentlemen who worked on the project from beginning to end were great.  Communication was great.  They kept us in the loop at all times.  Any concerns/questions we had were answered and/or dealt with right away.  After completion, we had  some water seepage in a few windows.  We called and they came and fixed the problem with some "weeping holes" - hadn't had a problem since.   We have an all glass ceiling which works for us since we have a large tree that shades the sunroom.  However, if you didn't have natural shade, you might want to go with a solid ceiling for shade.   The heating unit has been tested in as low as 25 degrees and heats beautifully.   Worked just as well in the hot summer months when we needed air conditioning in the room.  Our only regret is that we didn't do it sooner.  It has provided us with wonderful "outdoor" space we can use year round and an excellent space for our ever growing family gatherings."

"Sales person was very helpful with choosing the right product for our needs. Siding installation was excellent quality. Final product looks great!"

"I highly recommend SPU. We used them for roofing. The owner is great to work with, he always answered my phone call when I called and showed up when he said he would show up. He came out to do a quote on Wednesday, materials were delivered that Friday and the roof was done by that Sunday afternoon. The crew was very respectable, they did a great job cleaning up after the job, there was not a piece of garbage or a nail to be found anywhere."

"This company was fantastic!!! They were so professional and so knowledgeable. We worked with Andy and Arthur(project managers) in choosing the materials and pricing the job. They answered all our questions and came over twice to go over things with. The men that came to do the roofing and the trim work, worked in super hot weather, but worked so hard and very efficiently. Our home looks beautiful. I would definitely recommend Nyberg to anyone looking for exterior work."

"Let me first say that this isn't the first time I've hired a contractor.  Being that I'm a vendor myself who is self-employed in a different industry, I have always been shocked at how every contractor I've hired thus far has shown a serious lack of professionalism.  I'm referring to being late, not being responsive to phone calls or emails, instances where instead of owning their mistakes they'd rather blame other contractors... I could go on and on.  I've been amazed that most contractors act like they have little time for you and it's an honor to be graced by their presence.  They all seem to be swamped and not want your 30,000 dollars, which makes me believe I'm in the wrong industry and wish I could be more of an a******.  With all that being said, 41 North Builders were by far and away the best team I've hired so far.  I knew at the end of our first meeting that they were the front runners for the myriad of projects I needed done because not only did they thoroughly walk me through how the projects would be executed, but they also offered solutions to left over problems from past contractors.  For instance, we tore out the rugs in our apartment and added hard wood to all of the stairs.  Since our house is old, our stair heights were uneven and cumbersome to go down unless you were familiar with the footing.  John was the first person to give us a solution that wouldn't involve redoing the entire set of stairs and costing us a crazy amount of money.  I could tell that they weren't trying to oversell us, rather get us what was necessary at a fair price.  Who doesn't want that?
I lost some wind in my sails when it took 6 weeks for John to give me an estimate, which brings me to the negative portion of my review.  I would have normally walked away at this point and hired someone else, but I was so impressed by the initial meeting that I wanted to wait and see where the numbers came in at.  I was surprised to find that the estimate was on the lower side of the 5 we received and was excited that they were very reasonable.  Even though I waited 6 weeks for the estimate, the team was able to start the project in 2 weeks and from that point we hit the pavement running.  The downside was that we were still always in the dark as to when people were showing up in the morning, what days they'd even show up to do the work, and when the project would be done.  If you're looking for a contractor to work within your tight schedule then this may not be the best team for you.  If you're able to be flexible, don't mind an average of 48 to 72 hour response to a simple email, and your top priority is the quality of work, then I highly recommend them.  I found John's subcontractors to be very professional, EXTREMELY hardworking, and experts at their craft.  Everything was done to our liking, nothing looked rushed, and to our amazement, was finished ahead of schedule.
Our final project was to replace the deck and decided after seeing how great the team was that we wanted to use them to replace our pressure treated deck with a composite decking.  John hired a different contractor for this project and started after the inside was complete.  We were getting a little anxious because the project was held up due to us switching from wanting a pressure treated wood to composite.  The surprising thing that happened and is why I would recommend 41 North Builders a hundred times over is that John unbeknownst to us, stopped by to check the deck at about 90% completion and noticed that the workmanship was lacking.  Before we ever said anything to him, there was a new crew working day and night completely replacing the deck.  Rather than hoping that we'd never notice their faulty work, which we may have never had, he took it upon himself to make them start completely over and made sure it was done properly.  The deck now looks beautiful and I'm so thankful for John's honesty.  It is clear that he takes pride in his company's work, and wants it done to his liking no matter what the cost may be.  This is why I would hire 41 North Builders again in a heart beat and have recommended them to redo my parents condo as well as one of my coworkers.

"Hiring VRC Management made the process of our remodel so easy and smooth. The owner is totally hands on and made our kitchen remodel dreams a reality. I would recommend this company to anyone I know looking to do any remodeling in their home."

"It was great! I love my bathroom I did not use a designer and Peter and Tom were very helpful for me in making decisions They worked 6 days a week, 8 to 5, it was amazing Peter was always available for questions or concerns Communication was good Very professional workers Will hire again and would highly recommend"

"From the calls that I had been making to try to find someone to do the project, we were told that we would need an architect to do the drawings and submit the drawings to the city to get a permit. When I called Ideal Build, Peter was very responsive and we set an appointment during that call. He was on time for the appointment and was very professional and friendly. The main thing that I liked about him was that he was the only one that came that actually went up on the roof to see what we were dealing with, gave us good suggestions for what would have to be done and how to handle the chimney. He also gave us a good suggestion that if we decided to remove the chimney that we can have the venting changed to the side of the house and change our water heater to one of the tankless models. Overall the experience with Peter was great. We did not end up using him for the project because we were on a really tight budget. My mother had spent so much replacing roof after roof that there was really not a lot of equity left in the property to refinance, not to mention the market taking a dive with the home prices. Anyway, Peter gave us a quote for $4k to $6k dollars, that included drawings & permits. We would have to get a second quote from the contractor he worked with. Most of the people that we ended up getting quotes from were quoting us around $30k or more for the project. My thought process was that if we did a tear down and full roof replacements before for around $10k, why in the world would adding some joist to the project double the price for the project? We did go with another contractor that the price was way more reasonable and we are happy with the work. I would use Idea Build if you are planning on doing a large scale project, where the cost is a little more justifiable."
