Get matched with top deck or porch build or replacers in Springfield, IL

"Jablan General Contracting replaced my aging deck. They did an outstanding job. Deck looks great. They also painted the exterior of the house. Quality workmanship at a reasonable price. They finished the job in a very short time. Would highly recommend them."

"I contacted Home Advisor on a Friday afternoon a few days before Xmas, looking for help assembling furniture that had arrived in boxes. I received a call within minutes from Ask Michael. A couple other similar local businesses contacted me, as well, but not as quickly. Nor did the other businesses say they could complete the task yet that day/evening as Ask Michael promised to do. Indeed, two young men from Ask Michael arrived roughly 2 hours after my initial request and adeptly assembled a couch and a queen size bed in less than 30 minutes. Super nice, polite, professional guys. Will most definitely turn to Ask Michael in the Springfield area or Home Advisor in the Chicago area in the future!"

"This company's paint pros are prompt, skilled & pleasant to work with. They're accommodating, offer suggestions & do very nice work. I would recommend them to all."

"I had this company replace my windows, siding, insultation and decking on my porch. They were on time and did an absolutely beautiful job. I got used to opening my front door and finding their crews working. They were here for about a week and I never even had to clean up after them. What a marvel! The young man that ran the siding crew(Carlos) was nothing but kind and nice to me no matter what stupid question I asked. I can't praise this company enough."

"Communication was great ever step of the way and they were more than flexible and worked through challenging weather to get the job done within our time frame. Would def consider working with them again."

"An excellent company one can hire with confidence."

"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!"

"Aaron is a great communicator. He and his partner replaced all of our deck boards, our deck stairs, and replaced an old railroad tie wall with stone. The quality of their work was quite impressive. I really feel like they spent the time necessary to do the job right and we are very pleased with the result!"

"I found Jeff to be very professional and timely - when he say she is going to be at my house at a certain day and the project will take a certain amount of time, he honors his word! At the end of the day, the quality of their work is impeccable."

"Casey did a great job and was very responsive to our requests for the customization of our deck remodel/expansion. We would definitely recommend him."
