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

"Generally very good. The tile work looks great. Because we didn’t need grout the 30 sq ft backslash was done in 1 long day."

" He was very professional and self-sufficient throughout the entire process. He arrived right on time, brought everything he needed, and got straight to work without needing any extra direction. He fixed my drawer quickly and efficiently, with great attention to detail. Overall, he was dependable, polite, and clearly takes pride in doing quality work."

I am a local carpenter who has been in the trades for about 10 years now. I can do almost anything from framing houses to laying flooring. And it is my mission to deliver a quality service at a quality price.

"This is the 3rd project that we have had Beyer Builders do for us and as before they did an excellent job. They are personable and communicate very well, and do a good job overseeing any sub-contractors that they use. They made excellent recommendations on where to go for flooring and tile, cabinets and vanity, etc. They also installed some of the bathroom fixtures we acquired and did quality work with good follow-up. We are pleased to have a good local contractor to use in our home repairs."

"No one called us to set it up"

"Being an owner/builder of a new house, I got more quotes for drywall than any other service I hired out. I got quotes from $13,000, all the way to $23,000 for the same scope of work. Dave's quote was somewhere in the middle. When he contacted me about the bid, I told him I was thinking about going with someone else at the lower price range, he offered to take some money off his bid in order to win my business. The other company I was leaning towards wouldn't budge on price without removing items from the scope fo work. So Dave got the job. Previously in my build project, I had some unpleasant experiences with some of the other trades that I hired, so I was pleasantly surprised when Dave and his crew would show up early to the job, and work long hours. Unlike other trades I hired, I never had to worry about him screwing me out of any material costs, cutting corners, or constant excuses for not showing up to work on my job. Dave even accommodated my request for some unique drywalled pockets above each window to accept hidden, recessed window blinds. He did a better job than expected on these areas given the rough window framing, and protruding metal window flanges that could've potentially caused an uneven drywall finish. After the job was over, he offered to come back to do some touch up work if I noticed any blemishes or rough spots after primer had been applied. I begrudgingly took him up on this offer, and his response was eager saying that "you already paid for the job, so I'd be happy to come fix those things". From my experience, this response is shocking...usually after a contractor has been paid, you can't get them to show up for anything. He was friendly, personable, and a great guy to work with. I will be recommending to anyone I know who needs drywall work done."

"I did the typical homeowner thing where I anticipate being able to handle a project and quickly found I was in a bit over my head. I was hoping to do some finish work on my basement and thought everything would be simple. It proved to be a bit beyond my understanding and I went to Angie's list and a few other places for help. I ended up finding Redwood Builders (Jared) on Angie's list. He was semi local to me which was nice and made it easy for him to stop by one morning before I left for work. I had two other people out to look at the possible work as well. I ended up going with Redwood Builders for the job because I felt most comfortable with Jared compared to the others I had talked with. Overall it worked out very well. He was very open in communicating what was going to be done when and on what day. Overall everything has stayed relatively on time to what we discussed. The overall cost was higher than I had wanted to spend, but that is more to do with what I believe was my poor estimating on what real work costs. Compared to the other people I talked to he was right in line with them as far as costs go. On the costs, what I have appreciated is his openness to adjustments as we go. Initially we discussed a baseline cost for the project. He has stuck with that, but because of my request for an additional thing here or an additional item there the cost did increase. He never really said no to anything and just explained that might be an additional cost, gave me a rough idea of the cost, and we ended up going forward. In my work, I work with a lot of different contractor types in different industries and frankly I wish all were as personable and easy going as Jared. He did a good portion of the work himself. He did sub out some portions of the work, but the items he subbed out were done well by people that were professional and worked well and quickly. I know he had some personal issues pop up during the tail end of our job. Short of letting me know he really did not miss a beat. I fully would have understood any delays but he was very professional and very set on finishing what he had agreed to. I would gladly use Jared again on any possible future job and would recommend him to anyone looking."

"It could have not went better. This was a tough job for Greg as he had to clean up a mess from another contractor that was not experienced and grossly unqualified for the task at hand. Greg took on the challenge and it turned out perfect. We could not be happier. Greg has a very high regard to detail and will ensure it is done right to a very high standard. Great communication on spot on for what the customer wants. Greg was always on-time and put the hours in as expected. Greg always communicated if he would be late due to getting supplies for the job as an example. Greg is very respectful of the owner's property as he always cleaned up every night and always used his own tools. For future projects Greg will always be our first choice."

"The end product was great and Jim and his contractors did a fantastic job. There was a point that we had to be very patient due to contractors not showing up on time."
