"The guy who came out to install my safety bars, and one of my bathrooms did a perfect job and install them exactly what I wanted them and I’ve been very very happy ever since!"

"Josef does excellent work - I would hire him again. He replaced a 15 foot railing in front of my home. He took extra care to match the color of the stain (including sending me pics from the hardware store to confirm). Scheduling took a more back and forth than expected but it was worth the wait."

"McCann Windows was great! Kevin McCann came out promptly to look over the job and sent an estimate that was fairly priced (that came in the middle of the other estimates). We went with McCann because the price was fair, Kevin was very professional and informative, and took the time to answer our questions. It took a little longer than I expected for the windows to come in, but the slider turned out to be a custom order, and there was no extra charge. Once the windows were delivered, the installation team was fantastic! They worked hard all day, met the timeline to install that they promised, were personable and professional, and the cleanup afterwards was perfect. We will only go with McCann to finish our window replacements. We are very happy."

"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.

"Trying to execute a major outdoor renovation project during a time of global supply chain disruptions poses many challenges. Happy to report that Mal and PHI navigated that rocky path very well. Mal kept us informed of the many changes coming from the supplier as far as colors and delivery. It was a long process...8 months between signing the contract and having the work completed. In the end we are very happy with the product and the quality of the work. A major windstorm hit the area the day after the work was completed and put the installation to the test. Everything held up perfectly...no loose bits flapping on the house or flying around the yard. In researching this project ahead of time, we had spoken with many friends who've had their siding replaced and none of them were especially happy with their contractor. We had the best experience with Mal and PHI. Highly recommended."

"The installers are at least as important as the brand of windows. I have had windows replaced by other companies before. None were as qualified as Murphy's. I interviewed over 15 other window companies for a large job, 12 town homes. Over $170K+ in work for our condo association. Murphy's was the only company willing to go the extra step to earn our business. They presented detailed drawings and worked with the window manufacturer to come up with a solution for our complex. The owner Jimmy was professional, prompt, and honest. He is truly a man of his word. His team led by master carpenter Dave was on time, professional, and very respectful. It is rare to see such skilled craftsmen today. They tore out and replaced windows systematically and on time. Most importantly the work was done correctly to a very high standard. The work was impeccable. They went above and beyond the scope of the project. I highly recommend Murphy's."

"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!"

"They did a great job my project was not the norm they needed to install extra fascia to complete the job.SRS provide the facia and I painted prior to it being installed. there sub contractor who installed fascia & gutters were great. SRS project manager MO was very attentive to to my concerns about project and answered all my questions and took care of the process. would hire them again pricing was very fair. Thank you"

"Everything exceeded my expectations.  
I called Chris in the morning and he was out to give me an estimate by that afternoon.  Chris walked me around the house pointing out what he suggested in terms of surface prep, paint, and minor repairs.  I had an estimate in hand prior to him leaving.
While CQ was ever so slighly more than the other estimates I received, I appreciated the high energy level, professionalism, and sharing of how he would suggest doing things.
Everything went according to schedule, the team was on time for all aspects of the job.
Time:
About 2 hours for power washing
2 days for painting
1-2 hours for the garage door trim and the painting of the house numbers - an unexpected nice touch!
Results: 
The team did an amazing job - far better than if I had done it myself (and I did the prior 2 times).  The team paid attention to all the details, and cleaned up everything after each phase of the work.
We used a low temperature paint as we were doing this late in the season.
It was the little things that made the experience especially positive, from offering to install the new front door lock set to the garage door trim repair to the painting of the house numbers to the attention to detail and precision of his crew.
Chris was easy going and very responsive via email or telephone.  He took care of everything we asked for.
