Get matched with top garage builders in Thawville, IL

"First and foremost, Coach House builds an excellent garage. They use their employees, and it was put up in one day. The issue is with their sub contractors -specifically the concrete and electrical. The rainy spring delayed the pouring of the concrete, which they could not help. Once they completed the pour, it appeared as though there were rough spots on the floor. I sent pictures to my sales person and his sales manager and was told it was concrete dust. The ridges were clearly visible in the picture. Then I was told it was discoloration and would “cure” over time. No one came out to visually inspect the issue until much later in the build project. Weeks later, the crew came out to do the build and they did a great job. Punctual, thorough, and as mentioned, built a very nice garage. Then we waited for the electrical. They had to make three trips because, 1st they did not have the correct PVC pipe after digging the trench. A week and half later, after having a deep trench left open, they returned. The journeyman electrician left the fuse box ajar, a 1/4” gap where they cut the drywall, the exterior lights on either side of the garage were hung at different heights (I had clearly marked them with masking tape as instructed by the salesperson) and screwed the base of the lights directly into the garage wall vs. using the brackets that were provided. At this point, our frustration level was pretty high. The electrical issues were fixed, and my sales person finally came out to look at the concrete. Realizing there truly was an issue with the concrete, their first solution was for us to have an epoxy floor put down. Second solution was to go halves on an epoxy floor. Neither option was acceptable as we should not have to pay for their mistake. They finally offered to take care of the floor at their cost, but at this point, we had already waited for 4 months for the garage to be complete, and frankly did not want any more of their subcontractors to do any work. After much back and forth, we finalized the invoice. Again, the garage itself is great, but there were too many issues involved with the rest of it."

"The work was done properly and when some additional jobs were added, Mr Grant went out of his way to get subcontractor's in to fix the added jobs promptly. I was very happy with the results and would recommend Steven Grant Construction to anyone who needed a prompt quote and a properly done job. He took the extra steps to finish my job within the quote so I stayed on budget."

"Gary was prompt and very professional. He explained what had broken - the typical behavior of those parts and what it would cost to repair it. While he was there he also educated me on the age of the garage door opener and door itself. At my request he gave me approximate costs for replacing those items should it become necessary. I will definitely use Pinnacle again for any garage door related needs. <br />"

"They let us know that they did not do Hurricane shutters."

"The first time we employed Howard Helmuth was a Saturday morning when our garage door refused to open--broken spring--both vehicles inside, and my husband and I, parents of three busy boys, had places to go.  I started an online search for a garage door service that was willing to make a house call on Saturday morning.  Howard was willing to do so.  He had me on my way in about an hour and a half.  The price just about matched my husband's estimate for replacing the broken spring (we believe Howard's pricing is fair).   <br /> We were selling my parents' condo, due to close on Friday, realized Monday we would need to replace the opener.  I called Howard, and he installed the opener and keypad that day.  All works well.   <br /> I would definitely phone him again to work on a garage door problem. <br />"

"It went great. Crew was 2 full time and Bill part time for 3 days."

"Installers did a good job with the exception of the bathroom window which was suppose to be frosted. They reordered and should be installed as soon as my schedule permits. <br />"

"The garage went up fine but the sales person told us that the garage would be built so that we could store things up above in the rafter space.  After the garage was built we found out we could not even put a piece of plywood up there because the rafters would not support it and we would have to have them come out in the spring and add additional supports costing us more money.  WE WILL DO IT OURSELVES!!  The sales person was DISHONEST and LIED!!   The workers left about 50 nails all over our driveway and did not clean up their mess!!   They left plastic, straw, and garbage beside the garage and a little inside!!   I WOULD NOT RECOMEND THIS COMPANY.  We have had problems with the garage door they installed too, it came off the track and the cable connecting to it came unraveled which took us 2 hours to put back on!! <br />"

"Was on time and very knowledgable. I had a ton of questions and he took the time to answer them all. We will be using them for our repairs once we get our check we have been waiting for."

"Expert House Movers brought a crew of 6-8 & came in late August 2013 to start the process of raising & moving the house.  My husband had done all the prep work of disconnecting the utilities & removing the furnace, etc. They dug access ramps to the old foundation/basement with bobcats.  They poked good sized holes around the foundation so they could put in steel beams and jack up the house.  Our foundation was from 1917 & built from old creek gravel cement, so it was pretty tough.  It took three & half days to jack the house & move it over the driveway.  It seemed really fast to me.  The only thing to fall in the house was a picture off the piano.  We still had access to the house through a tall ladder to get clothes, etc. that we needed. <br /> We took over the process of arranging excavation, concrete pouring, and carpenters with more local contractors.  Expert does have concrete people & others they use in the St Louis area that know exactly the requirements needed for the new foundation. <br /> After the basement was poured & cured (curing takes about 3-4 weeks), Expert returned in October 2013 to move & set the house.  They had been in contact with the concrete man for specifications, but there were no slots for the beams when setting the house down.  A concrete worker had to come & cut those slots.  We had a carpenter on hand to finish the sill installment & make sure the sills for the permanent beams was correct & set the support posts in the basement.  We also had a friend's tractor help Expert's bobcat pull the house back over the foundation.  While all this was going on, Expert was jacking and moving supports & placing slider beams & raising & lowering the house.  The process was complete in about 2 1/2 days with care & precision.  Some of the cracks in our house even disappeared.  Great job guys. <br /> Our carpenters returned to build a staircase & some other requirements.  We are working on re-connecting utilities & returning the furnace, water heater, etc. to the new basement.  We plan to move back into the house in the first week or so in November 2013.  It's been a long process, but well worth it.  Made possible by Expert House Movers! <br />"
