Get matched with top exterior trim repairers in Russell, IL

"I am an 80 year old veteran and the Handy Veteran Kevin asked if I would write a review. I was very pleased with all work done by Kevin and Teko. They installed new garage door, new steps from garage to first level, replaced stainless steal sink and faucet, and doorknobs throughout. Also, stopped all the floor squeaks because my house is over 50 years old. Kevin also repaired rod iron rail at the bottom of my exterior steps. Teko removed paneling and painted one bathroom and installed new stool and second bathroom with new stool and replaced all door handles. I was very pleased with all work done. Kevin and Teko were very easy to work with and I would hire them again in a heartbeat."

"The front door of my brick house is trimmed with wood and is unprotected against the elements.  Portions of the wood had rotted, including parts of the pediment (i.e., the woodwork above the door). The original installers (back in 1939) cut curving 1-inch wide grooves, which matched the curving pediment roof, deep into the brick.  We chose to replace the pediment with the same style rather than deal with covering the grooves.  James removed the original pediment and, in a matter of days, created a new pediment with all the features and proportions of the original.  He installed, caulked, and painted it. 

He also solved a design problem that had caused two light fixtures to short out. The board to which the front porch light is attached is convex, making it difficult to get a tight seal with the back of the light fixture. James mounted a square board, concave on one side and flat on the opposite side, and attached the light fixture to the flat side. The solution turned out to be quite elegant. Finally, he cut out the rotten wood where the vertical trim met the concrete porch and fitted replacement wood that matches existing wood in depth and width.  I am more than satisfied with the work.  I am positively delighted!"

"Tim from Dynamic Colors gave us the confidence we needed that this exterior project would go very well from start to finish. Dealing with older cedar siding was new to us, but based on Tim's experience we knew right away he knew how to work with it. The powerwashing alone made quite a difference, then settlling on a new color to match a blend of the old shade of the cedar as well as the brick/mortar on the lower portion of the structure really tied it all together. Tim was prompt with communication all along the project, sending us pictures of diferent new shades of colors to consider to help us with our final decision. We even altered the shade when beginning the painting part of the project, and Tim handled that change like a true professional. I can't say enough about his patience and flexibility, it all turned out great, mostly due to his and his crew's care and workmanship. Painting an entire 2-story house with high peaks, gables and dormers has its challenges, yet Tim ad his crew handled it with confidence and ease. We're very happy with the results amd wouldn't hesitate recommending them or hiring them again.

"Fantastic, crew did a great job, and kept everything clean and tidy. Also, after the job was done didn't find any nails or debris on the ground. Great work."

"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.

"Fogarty was open to discussing a wide range of possible repairs/replacements.  He helped us pick a very nice replacement door and window set.  He also worked with us to address the little fit/finish issues that always arise during this type of project.  We were very satisfied with the quality of the work and with the relationship with him.
