"Dale was very thorough in his examination of my situation and gave me clear explanations of what was going on. Other firms that quoted the work insisted that the entire basement needed to be done. Dale said that we only need to fix what is leaking. Cost to do that was one third that of other bids. Crew was on time, prompt and thorough. I would definitely use this firm again."

"I bought a new patio table from NW Metalcrafters to replace an older one that was no longer usable. The salesperson Brian was very helpful with the sale, letting me take home color samples to match the new table's finish with my old chairs that I had planned to keep. Several days after the table was delivered, I noticed that one of the legs was bent at a welding joint. I sent photos to NW Metalcrafters and they agreed right away to get a new table from the manufacturer as part of the warranty. Andrew was helpful in arranging and scheduling pickup of the old table and the delivery of the new table."

"Tom, Jill, and everyone at Nierman's have been a pleasure to work with. They are extremely reliable and did a beautiful job helping the neglected lawn and hedges at our lake house look great! They also installed a French drain system. It has made such a difference keeping the water out of our newly finished basement. The decorative stonework for the drains really looks amazing! We will be hiring them again next season for a retaining wall and some hard scaping. I would highly recommend them! A+++"

"We live in one of Highland Park’s oldest homes, a graceful Italianate from the 1870s, and we’re intentional about preserving its historic character while making it livable and inviting. We’re not purists—we’re stewards. And this project reflects that balance beautifully. Shaun Peters, Director of Field Operations, listened closely and helped us find a solution that honored the space without requiring a costly rebuild. Many companies had recommended replacing our mantle and hearth—work we couldn’t justify. Shaun guided us toward a cast iron Valor gas insert that fit seamlessly and brought real warmth to our parlor. His communication was exceptional—texts, emails, thoughtful updates. The kind of service you think doesn’t exist anymore. But it does through Lindemann."

"Fence was installed on my neighbors property. They had to come out again pull two sides of Fence up and put them on my property. The posts on both gates have raised up and now I have trouble opening my gates. I?m gonna have to get another fence company out to fix my gates because I wouldn?t even want them coming out here and touching anything because I know they would screw it up again. "

"I found out about this business through several local neighborhood chat groups. I have had nothing but the best rapport, support, design and install from Maureen and her team. They undertook a huge front and back yard project. We completed relandscaped the front of my 115 year old bungalow with a lush perennial garden (and added in some of my mature plants from elsewhere on the property). We carved out two huge new beds and they are chock full of plants I love. We did a complete gut of my hard scape in the rear yard, created a beautiful walkway and patio for my new pergola and a second for my dining table and relandscaped the entire backyard and expanded a huge sun loving perennial bed and added trees and some landscape lighting and a shade bed too. Simply stunning!"

You'll get so much more when you call the Thrifty Nickel Handyman family, I know they'll always be our first call. Thank you Joe, Jeff, Victor and Nancy for all you do! Larry, Melisa and Kyra"

"Prompt and professional service. They showed up when they said they would and finished on-time. The work was meticulously done and the end result was exactly what I was looking for. Mark was very accommodating with the crazy requirements of the village of Lake Zurich. I interviewed a lot of contractors for this project, Mark stood way above the rest. I highly recommend Mark and his great team."
