Get matched with top major home repair pros (general contractors) in Antioch, IL

"My wife and I bought a summer cottage in Fontana, WI that we wanted to turn into a year-round home in December 2021. This was our first significant remodel of any home we’ve ever owned. At that time, many contractors were very busy and/or very expensive. We discussed our project with at least a dozen potential contractors. We chose MH Renovations, and we are thrilled with that decision. Project. We completely remodeled the existing kitchen and 2 full bathrooms. We replaced all flooring and repainted the entire inside. We replaced and added wood trim in various rooms. We replaced the boiler, added A/C, and replaced a large portion of the electrical system. Value. We felt the quality of workmanship was above average, and the cost was below average. Generally, we agree with the old axiom that you get what you pay for. So, we felt we got more than we paid for. For a couple who’s generally quite frugal, that’s saying a lot. Decisions. With any large project like this, there are a thousand decisions to be made. This contractor seemed to know exactly which decisions they should make and which to let the homeowner make. We were glad to be shielded from the smaller decisions and be asked on the bigger ones. Just right. Communications. Just perfect. Not too much, and we never felt in the dark on anything. Changes. With a large project, we expected we’d want to make some changes during the project. That was true, and the contractor was perfectly happy to accommodate those requests and give us options. Perfect. Schedule. At a time when most contractors were giving start dates of 6-8 months out and more, this contractor quoted us just 3 months to begin. That was about the earliest of any quote. We were thrilled when they even were able to start a month earlier. And after they began, they pressed to keep the project on time, working with various sub-contractors, while shielding us from any of that pain. So our project started early (Feb 2022), completed with the expected duration, and ended early (April 2022). Far exceeded our expectations. Unexpected issues. As with any large project, there will always be some unforeseen issues. For ours, it was the existing electrical system. The subcontracted electrician uncovered ungrounded outlets, missing switch and outlet boxes, wiring comprised of foot-long parts, and bare wires. All you can hope for is that those problems get identified and rectified correctly, and that it doesn’t cost an arm and a leg. Our contractor kept us informed and searched for related, hidden issues once problems became clear. Our contractor genuinely felt bad about this added cost, and very generously did some of the work without adding cost. This is going above and beyond for your customer. Our contractor handling these unexpected issue as well as we could have hoped for. Budget. If we hadn’t added any requests during the project and didn’t uncover the hidden/existing electrical issues, we would haven been right on budget. The unexpected electrical work added ~10% to the entire budget. That overrun was about what we expected when we budgeted for this project, so we felt we came out just fine on budget. Was it fun? Yes! We truly enjoyed our discussions/calls/texts/emails with our contractor. We genuinely liked our contractor, and that made the experience a lot less stressful and painful than it could have been otherwise. These are our people. And we liked their employees and their sub-contractors too. Everyone we encountered was just a pro. Would we hire this contractor again? Definitely. I’m sure we will, and we won’t bother calling anyone else."

"We have a beautiful, bright, functional kitchen now. Top bro’s redid our whole house which we now love. With Cesar and his team if you dream it you can have it! They designed a wonderful space. Extra drawers in a massive island and built in trash/recycle. The cabinets, counter, all 3 bathrooms, tile work and wood floors are gorgeous. The top bro’s kept everything as clean & tidy as possible every one who entered our home was honest, respectful, trustworthy and friendly! I felt comfortable leaving my home while the guys were working in the house. Cesar and his crew were very responsive to our questions throughout the whole process. Thanks. Would definitely recommend the top bro’s for any project you need done you won’t be disappointed. Will be using them of all of my projects in the future!"

"Very nice work. Payed attention to work and made sure the job was done right."

"Frank and the crew we had on our two projects (shower remodel and deck) were great to work with. They were professional, straight forward and helpful during the process. Jason and Miguel were great to work with and always left the work sites clean and tidy at end of the day. Both projects were completed timely and we are super satisfied with the results. We interviewed several contractors and Frank and his crew are the best! We will definitely be using Ultra Source Performance for future projects."

"In late 2024, we purchased a 35 yr old condo in Lake Barrington Shores that needed some major updates and remodeling. After considering bids from three contractors, we chose Master Craft & Design, led by Ed Ringmeier, the company’s president. Ed immediately stood out for his professionalism, clarity, and responsiveness. Since we were managing the project remotely from Florida, communication was crucial. Ed and his team maintained consistent contact through texts, emails, and frequent photo updates, allowing us to feel confident and informed throughout the process. Master Craft & Design clearly laid out their plan and committed to a 30–45 day timeline. They not only met this goal—they exceeded it. The quality of work, craftsmanship, and attention to detail was superb. We are thrilled with the results and excited to enjoy our new space this summer. We highly recommend Ed Ringmeier and Master Craft & Design for anyone seeking a reliable, professional contractor who delivers"

"Needed some outside stairs repaired. Work was done promptly even though the weather was cold. "

"Professional and timely walk through of the job both during estimation process, prior to signing contract, explanation of contract, and multiple walk-throughs during construction. Joe and his group kept me informed and kept to all timelines agreed upon. These guys are hones, polite and experts in their field. We are already talking about our next project."

"We had wonderful experience. The workers were quick, efficient, and friendly. Whenever we noticed a problem or something that we wanted changed, no matter how big or small the ask, it was addressed immediately. All of the workers really listened to our ideas and the end result is exactly what we wanted, including some beautiful custom made cabinets!!! We will definitely be going back to KSRP Construction for our future home renovations."

"Chris and the entire Alpha team were a pleasure to work with throughout the entire process. As homeowners who had a general idea of what we wanted to do for our complete basement remodeling project but no clue where to begin. Chris came over and listened to the general idea's we had and then used his experience to explain how things would work or would work better in certain aspects. After being very detailed in the plans and budget, he was very communicative each step of the way. The entire Alpha team were extremely friendly and were always greeted with a "Good Morning or Good Afternoon" every time we saw them. Alpha always communicated with us throughout the entire remodel and asked for thoughts on any potential things that came up. After everything was completed, Chris was very thorough on the final walk through and was meticulous with all the details. I would highly recommend Alpha Ventures!"

"I was very happy with the work they did. They were professional and I felt like I could trust them."
