They make the renovation process go smoothly every step of the way, from planning to securing materials to construction, always standing at the ready to problem solve and find solutions to get the project done. They worked within our timeframe, and the quality of their work and craftsmanship shows in the beautiful results. They also supported us with a range of home improvement projects throughout our house and went above and beyond in their efforts, even fixing a door that wasn't closing properly that we didn't have on our list. Now every time it swings closed with ease, we smile remembering their attention to detail and commitment to exceeding our expectations. We will definitely turn to Ulises any time we have a home renovation or improvement project and in fact plan to work with him again this spring on a new deck! We highly recommend Ulises and his incredible team for all of your renovation & home improvement needs! ### All 115 reviews **★★★★★ — Sylvie M., June 2026** > I honestly don’t know where to start. We did a complete kitchen renovation, new floors, and other renovations with Ulises Interiors. Not only is the final project beautiful but doing business with Ulises was fantastic. There were some unexpected surprises and they handled them perfectly! Everyone who works here is professional & was respectful of my home. I will definitely be doing any future home projects with Ulises Interiors. **★★★★★ — Great Experience!, April 2026** > Ulises and his team did a wonderful job in renovating our kitchen. The kitchen was opened up, with new floor tiles, lower cabinets, sink, quartz countertops, pendant lights, and electrical work done as well. He was very professional and his team was also conscientious, making sure to be careful with everything and to clean up the debris. Ulises was also very flexible with changes that occurred in the design and renovation. Thank you Ulises! **★★★★★ — HU-613009825, March 2026** > Ulises does amazing work. As a realtor, I need professionals that do great work, are responsive and reasonably priced. I’m always confident that when I refer Ulises to clients that they will be super pleased with the results. Thank you, Ulises **★★★★★ — Kaileigh Houlihan, March 2026** > I can’t say enough great things about Alanis Interiors and Ulises. He has worked on two major projects for us. The first project involved reconfiguring our kitchen to make space for a washer and dryer, removing an old bar cabinet, and extending the layout into our master closet. This required electrical and plumbing work, and everything was handled seamlessly. The second project is our ongoing bathroom renovation, which includes ripping out old tile, replacing it, and refinishing the tub — and so far, everything has been going just as smoothly. > > We live in an older building, and one of the most impressive aspects of their work is how perfectly the new construction blends with the original structure. The new walls and molding match so flawlessly that you genuinely cannot tell what’s original and what’s newly built. The craftsmanship is outstanding. > > There have been no issues with any of the work performed. Ulises and his crew are courteous, professional, and incredibly respectful of our home. They took great care protecting our furniture, belongings, and floors, and they vacuumed and washed the floors at the end. They consistently left our home in great shape so we could comfortably enjoy it on the weekends, even while the projects were ongoing. > > Other owners in our building have marveled at the quality of their work and have already asked for their contact information for future renovations — which says a lot. > > In addition to the high quality, their pricing was very reasonable and there were no surprise costs or “gotchas” at the end. They also went above and beyond in many thoughtful ways — patching holes on a closet wall they weren’t even working on, replacing old outlet covers so they matched the new ones, and doing additional electrical work in the bathroom to ensure everything looked cohesive. > > We would absolutely hire Alanis Interiors again and highly recommend Ulises to anyone looking for high-quality, honest, and detail-oriented renovation work. **★★★★★ — Amy Wilkinson, Jan. 2026** > Where do I start…Ulisies and his team were fantastic! As a first time home buyer everything has been a new process for me. A friend and my agent recommended Ulisies and I didn’t need to look anywhere else. He met me within days of reaching out to do a walk-thru of what I was looking for. Some things were from my home inspection and others were “cosmetic” changes I wanted- he understood my vision and was able to tell me what to purchase and offered to also get items (ie. Paint) himself. I had a new ceiling fan installed, new track lighting, accent wall painted in the bedroom, moved the bedroom closet and secured it to the wall, as well as, electric panel and HVAC fixes. The whole project took 6 days and Ulisies kept me posted throughout the process, sending pictures and updates. I was speechless at final walk-thru, everything was beautiful! The biggest transformation was my kitchen- I had the cabinets painted, new kitchen faucet installed and hardware installed. It is stunning and the quality of the paint is fantastic (before and after pictures included)! I’m grateful to Ulisies and his team for making my first home so beautiful! **★★★★★ — Chicago Home Renovation, Nov. 2025** > Alanis Interiors served as the contractor on a home renovation project for us. Ulises and his team were excellent. They did quality work, stuck with milestones and were responsive to our questions and concerns. Alanis Interiors did a great job of responding to site conditions and coming up with solutions for anything that changed during the project. Their pricing was fair. We felt that Alanis Interiors was on our side and was a reliable partner for our project. We would recommend Alanis Interiors highly. **★★★★★ — Leslie Glazier @ Properties, Nov. 2025** > Ulises Alanis is hands down the best general contractor I’ve ever worked with, both personally and professionally. He has helped many of my real estate clients (buyers and sellers) with everything from small fixes to full remodels, and most recently, he completed a renovation of my own home. > Ulises has an incredible eye for detail and design, bringing creativity, positivity, and professionalism to every project. His entire team is reliable, respectful, and highly skilled. What stands out most is Ulises’s commitment to making sure his clients truly love the finished product; he genuinely cares that you feel great about your space. > I can’t recommend Alanis Interiors highly enough! **★★★★★ — Masiel Lee, March 2025** > We recently had our primary bathroom refurbished by Alanis Interiors (Ulises), and we’re really happy with how it turned out. His team did great work—skilled, efficient, and paid attention to the details. Overall the process was straightforward, and communication with Ulises was easy the entire time. It’s clear they care about their work and making sure the customer is happy. He ensured any accidental edges were touched up and his staff tidy up at the end of every day. Would definitely recommend! **★★★★★ — Theresa, Jan. 2025** > Alanis Interiors did an amazing job on our bathroom remodel! We went from a 90s-looking bathroom, with falling ceiling tiles, to a modern, clean, updated bathroom that is much easier to bathe our 1-year-old in! The two gentlemen who did the work were professional, punctual, and efficient. The owner ensured they did a good job, also. We could not be more satisfied with this job, very well done! **★★★★★ — travel\_girl99, Dec. 2024** > From the first consultation, Ulises was detail oriented and made sure every point was addressed in his proposal. One of my projects included adding a kitchen peninsula. I had spoken with several contractors/designers and no one seemed to “get” what I was looking to do. I explained my vision to Ulises once and he understood right away. His team renovated/updated 2 full baths, added a kitchen peninsula, painted my kitchen cabinets, moved lighting fixtures, painted my office and tiled my fireplace. No detail was overlooked and everything (in particular, the tile work) looks absolutely beautiful!! There were a couple of hiccups along the way, but Ulises was calm and handled the issues expertly. He executed my vision beautifully and exceeded my expectations 100%! I couldn’t be happier! I would definitely recommend Alanis Interiors to anyone needing renovation help! **★★★★★ — C Morello, Oct. 2024** > Our project gets a 5 Star Rating. The job included ceiling fixtures, outlets, a bathroom vent & heat fan and more. The workmanship is top notch. .. the crew on time, polite and made sure all areas were cleaned when they finished. Highly recommended .. CM Morton Grove **★★★★★ — Jacqueline, Oct. 2024** > We have been working with Alanis Interiors for nearly a decade! We use them for everything from handyman jobs to complete remodels. They have redone 2 of our kitchens, our roof, siding, a bathroom, and countless other repairs, fixes, and problems etc. Ulises is great to work with and very responsive. We love working with him and would recommend him to anyone. If ever we're not satisfied with something, he makes it right. Could not recommend his company enough! **★★★★★ — Philip Ritger, Sept. 2024** > When discussing options for the structural materials there were good recommendations for the materials to use, good workmanship from his associates. The paint quality was superior to previous contractors I used. **★★★★★ — Kristen, Sept. 2024** > I had a kitchen island installed along with a reno of my master bathroom - and both are complete. Both beautifully well done. We started the project right away - Ulises was able to come by to get a quote completed quickly. He's friendly and approachable, answers questions, and asks a lot to confirm exactly what you want done. Had recommendations for product, which is where I found the incredible tile for my bathroom. Work was consistent, the crew was nice and respectful. Would & will hire him again! **★★★★★ — connellr, Sept. 2024** > I'd highly recommend Ulises and his team. He helped manage our previous property and his team worked promptly. Whether it was leaks or plumbing issues. Ulises' team was very responsive. **★★★★★ — mpalia08, Sept. 2024** > Recently moved into a single family home that had a few cosmetic and safety projects to be completed as soon as possible. Alanis Interiors was able to complete projects on time and within budget. We're booking them for work in the future! **★★★★★ — Gaby Gonzalez, Aug. 2024** > I worked with Alanis Interiors to remodel a bathroom in my home. The project required us gutting the entire bathroom so I got to see Alanis interiors do everything from demolition to finishing touches. They truly brought my vision to life and made very helpful suggestions along the way that made end result even better than I was expecting. > > The project was done on time and the cost were extremely transparent along the way. I highly recommend working with Alanis Interiors for your next home project. **★★★★★ — Greg Nilles, Aug. 2024** > Great job by Ulises and the entire Alanis Interiors team!.....they did it all for our recently purchased condo....painting, carpet, wood flooring, > tile work....would not hesitate to use them again! **★★★★★ — Nancy Cunov, Aug. 2024** > The two painters on our project were very nice, polite and cleaned up very well each day. Ulises oversaw the project and worked with us. He is very knowledgeable about working with realtors and making suggestions what he thinks for the best look for your home and sale. > The project was painting repairs, two difficult skylights, the main bedroom and some small fix-it items. **★★★★★ — Samantha Lane, July 2024** > Ulises did a great job installing a wall in our primary bedroom for a walk in closet. > He is very professional, responsive, and a kind person. > I’d recommend him to any of my friends and family. > We plan to use his services for any future projects. **★★★★★ — Springfield Pest Solutions, July 2024** > Alanis Interiors did an amazing job on my kitchen remodel! The team was professional, attentive, and delivered high-quality work. I'm thrilled with the transformation. Highly recommend their services! **★★★★★ — Ian Sohn, June 2024** > Ulises and his crew were great. Most importantly, they did a wonderful job on my house, fixing everything from showers to kitchen cabinets and painting from top to bottom. The results are wonderful. His team is friendly and detail-oriented. They showed up on time and left the house in the same condition they found it. Ulises, the owner, was incredibly responsive, professional, and patient with me. Will definitely use these guys again for future work. **★★★★★ — Mm, June 2024** > He has been my go-to company for a number of years. He is reliable, dependent does quality work. > Easy to recommend to my friends **★★★★★ — Built a door to the basement, May 2024** > Excellent, professional, helpful. Always very quick to respond to communication. Appreciate his help. Recommend highly to you for your projects **★★★★★ — Michael, May 2024** > Ulises at Alanis Interiors was a pleasure to work with! Ulises removed decking material and re-built the deck on either end of a re-roofing job. He was also able to coordinate method of installation with the TPO/roofing contractor to accommodate material requirements. Ulises took care to treat our property with higher care and respect than others we have worked with in the past and we noticed that he took pride in his team's work. The end product was fantastic and should be a great place to enjoy the nice weather. Given our experience, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Alanis Interiors to other. **★★★★★ — Naperville Turf Care, April 2024** > Alanis Interiors showcased professionalism at its best. From the initial consultation to the final touches, every step was executed with precision. Their attention to detail and commitment to customer satisfaction are commendable. **★★★★★ — Great Experience!, April 2024** > Scope of work: > Refinish 100 year old hardwood flooring, replace baseboards with shoe molding around the perimeter of the home interior. > > Quality and Outcome: > The work \[see scope of work above\] that Ulysses and his staff did was outstanding. The floors look better than they have before, and the baseboard and shoe molding are cleanly installed and flush to the floor. The work was expertly conducted and my wife and I could not be happier with the results. > > Timeliness/Budget: > The work was done on time and on budget, we have no complaints and only praise. > > Communication: > There were some slight communication issues over text where we had to ask our questions multiple times, but that is not a big deal given how busy Ulysses and his team are. More importantly, our questions did get answered after a bit of back and forth, and Ulysses and his staff were always communicative about when they would arrive, when and how work would commence, and other matters of timeliness. > > Friendliness: > Ulysses and his staff are great - we always had courteous and friendly exchanges with them and felt comfortable with them. They were always polite, conscientious, and easygoing. No issues. > > The Bottom Line: > We strongly recommend that you use Ulysses and his staff at Alanis Interiors for whatever work you need done. We found them to be friendly, highly competent, and they were mindful of and adhered to budget and time constraints. These are the most important factors when considering contractors, and they are the best that we've worked with. **★★★★★ — Linda, April 2024** > Ulises and Alanis Interiors were an invaluable help as we were selling our house. He and his team did a variety of small projects as we were preparing to sell the house, from fixing drawers that didn't close correctly, to painting, to some basement construction work. The real picture Ulises' attention to detail and responsibleness came a morning two days before the final walk through and closing, when the backyard fence collapsed after a storm. He came immediately to assess the situation, had a crew there within the hour. New posts were dug and installed and the fence was reinstalled within 30 hours and in time for the closing. He is responsive, does high quality work in many areas. I couldn't recommend him more highly. **★★★★★ — Eric Tolley, March 2024** > What's not to like, nice people, hard workers, problem solvers, fair price. An enthusiastic 5 stars. > As a 5 star business owner my standards are maybe higher. Alanis interiors answered the bell. Thanks guys! **★★★★★ — vincent\_boberski, Feb. 2024** > Ulises and his crew are highly skilled, not to mention friendly, neat, very timely, and easy to work with . We had a complex project involving a stone mantle that had to be assembled / mounted onto a fire box that needed to be rebuilt. Ulises got it done on time and with an extremely high degree of craftsmanship. He kept us up to date throughout the process and was always responsive. Punch list items were taken care of immediately. Alanis is the only contractor that we plan to use going forward. **★★★★★ — Florencia Broglino, Feb. 2024** > Our experience with Ulises, the owner of Alanis Interiors, for our recent kitchen remodeling project has been nothing short of satisfying.

Whether a laundry room remodel or a gut rehab, or even masonry repair, we have used them for over 10 years on many projects and each one has exceeded our expectations. Uli and the guys are always on time and quick to respond with any questions or clarifications to work. Highly recommended for any work needed around Chicagoland!! **★★★★★ — removal of base kitchen cabinet, Dec. 2023** > Ulises & his team came in, did what they said they were going to do & finished the job quickly. They were efficient, professional, & cleaned up afterwards. I would definitely recommend Alanis Interiors. **★★★★★ — Claudia Furman, Dec. 2023** > I highly recommend Alanis Interiors for your next remodel. They are professional, skilled, and reliable. Uleses, the owner, closely supervises the project ensuring fine workmanship. He is easy to work with and listens carefully to your needs. He is trustworthy and responsible. They remodeled my one bedroom condo. It’s stunning! **★★★★★ — Barn door and painting, Dec. 2023** > The work was done in a very professional manner. The contractors were responsive to additional requests and went above and beyond to accomplish the job. Very satisfied with the work. **★★★★★ — HU-89524303, Nov. 2023** > Outstanding craftsmanship, excellent communication, reliable and on time! > We hired Mr Alanis to do a gut renovation of a bathroom. He responded to my request for a bid the same day, and was able to fit my project in quickly, and finished when he promised. His crew was careful and cleaned up daily, and their workmanship was outstanding. He took care of details such as making sure the tiled shower niche floor was placed at a very slight angle so water does not pool in it. Our shower tile was not consistently glazed on the edges and he offered several solutions to help me get the look I wanted. He had excellent ideas for details in the bathroom such as placement of hooks and the type of floor trim pieces to use. He even had the crew paint two pieces of drywall with my two paint options so I could move them around the bathroom to see how they looked in different places. > Ulises stopped by nearly every day to check on the project and kept me appraised of the work the entire time. > I would absolutely hire him again for any project and have already given his name to a friend! **★★★★★ — Closet repair after water damage in the ceiling, Nov. 2023** > Excellent work done by Alanis Interiors!

Work was meticulous and completed in a timely fashion. **★★★★★ — Shiva Rah, Sept. 2023** > I am thrilled to share my exceptional experience with Ulesis from Alanis Corp, who recently worked wonders on our bathroom shower floor tiles in a highrise condo in the Gold Coast of Chicago. After a frustrating ordeal with a previous contractor who botched the pitch and drain not once but twice, me and my husband were fortunate enough to discover Ulesis through the Tile shop in Chicago, thanks to the helpful insights of Lance, the assistant manager, and TJ. > > Upon contacting Ulesis and requesting his expertise, he promptly assessed the situation. Unlike other companies we had contacted, who expressed concerns about potential damage to the concrete below or the wall tiles, Ulesis demonstrated a level of confidence and competence that immediately put our worries to rest. > > What truly stood out was Ulesis's ability to pinpoint the issue with our shower floor almost instantly. He didn't even require a detailed explanation; he simply understood what was wrong and where water would accumulate, causing drainage problems. Moreover, he assured us that he could rectify the situation with ease. > > While Ulesis's quote was higher than those of other companies, we were unwavering in our decision to choose him. The peace of mind that came with his expertise was priceless, and we simply couldn't risk another subpar outcome. > > When Ulesis and his team arrived, we were impressed by their professionalism and commitment to their craft. Ulesis meticulously explained the tiling process, going above and beyond to ensure we understood every detail. He even pointed out specific tile placement techniques to avoid surprises later on. > > The project involved chiseling out the previous tiles, pouring new mortar, correcting the pitch, and installing new tiles with precision. Remarkably, this complex task was completed in less than four days. > > Ulesis and his team maintained a high standard of cleanliness throughout the project, ensuring our space was tidy at the end of each day. > > If you're looking for a shower floor tile expert who not only delivers exceptional results but also values clear communication, professionalism, and cleanliness, Ulesis at Alanis Corp is the professional you need. While his pricing may be higher, the peace of mind and quality of work he provides are well worth the investment. > > It's important to thoroughly discuss logistics and project details to avoid any surprises. Ulesis went above and beyond, even addressing an oversight in the initial quote without additional charges. > > We extend our deepest gratitude to Ulesis for his outstanding work, transforming our shower floor into a beautiful and functional space. Don't hesitate to choose him for your tile projects; you won't be disappointed! **Comment from Alanis Interiors:** > Thank you for the review, wow!! I can thank you enough for your kind words > And I’m very happy with the results and as I kept on reading the review I’m sure you are happy too, thank you again and please feel free to call if you guys need anything else > In the near future **★★★★★ — Kate Hochwalt, Sept. 2023** > Ulises and his team were fantastic! The entire process was seamless - Ulises has done work around our building complex so I was referred by a neighbor and from the very beginning Ulises was extremely responsive and helpful. We were able to schedule time for him to come over within the week and his team was in and out in about an hour (I didn't even notice that they'd repaired one of our bathrooms - they're that fast). I would highly recommend the Alanis Interiors team and will be using them moving forward for repairs around our house. Thank you for your help! **Comment from Alanis Interiors:** > Thank you for the feedback, our team and I are very happy with your comments, I’m looking forward to keep doing work for you and the complex **★★★★★ — Jared, July 2023** > Ulises has done multiple projects for me over the past few years, ranging from drywall repairs to installing a full roof deck. He has always done excellent work and provided excellent recommendations when needed. Alanis is now my first choice when it comes to any interior or exterior work that I need done, highly recommended! **Comment from Alanis Interiors:** > Thank you, I’m always here to help you guys. **★★★★★ — Peter, June 2023** > My condo association needed to repair and replace some decaying common stairways/landings and was referred to Ulises Alanis through extremely positive word of mouth. After hiring, they did great work that they stood behind, communication was always prompt and honest, and they charged a fair price . . . what more could you ask for?! I plan to do some renovation to my personal unit in the future and know who I'll be calling first - Ulises Alanis, we appreciate you and your workers! **Comment from Alanis Interiors:** > Thank you for your feedback, it’s important to see that what you do > Creates this effect that everyone can benefit from > > Regards, **★★★★★ — Derek, June 2023** > Ulises and his team did a fantastic job on our kitchen remodel. They were professional, skilled, and motivated. We are incredibly happy with the work that was completed. > > After having a previous contractor walk-out on us, we were in need of a flexible and committed contractor to take on our project. Ulises stepped into our very difficult situation and quickly and efficiently brought us from demolition to completion. His team always arrived on time and did not cut corners with their work. Ulises accommodated to small changes in our design plans, and came close to completing the project at the quoted price. > > We definitely recommend Alanis Interiors to anyone looking for honest and quality work! **★★★★★ — HU-82583480, June 2023** > In 2014, we hired a contractor who did a very poor job with replacing a bannister, retiling a bathroom floor, and replacing a mantle for the fireplace. Ulises was highly recommended by a friend who had a very positive experience with him. Based on my recent experience, I was skittish, and asked Ulises a ton of questions before I hired him. He told me what needed to be fixed and what didn’t. When I decided to hire Ulises, he satisfactorily fixed all of the problems that the previous contractor left. I have since used Ulises two more times to replace skylights, do painting, refinish wood floors, and refresh our kitchen. In addition, I have recommended him to many others. Our condo association has also hired him to do exterior work around our building and has been pleased with the results. **★★★★★ — Linda, May 2023** > Alanis Interiors has been our go to team since 2004. They have done jobs large to small in our over 5000 square foot home. We did a remodel of our movie theater due to a pipe breaking and they were amazing. They have also done various dry wall, paint jobs and finding leaks for repair. They also helped us beautify our home to get it to market to sell. They are professional, reliable and timely. You will not be able to find a team like his where you can always refer back to for both large remodeling jobs and smaller repairs. They are A+! Happy to offer a verbal reference as my husband and I only have nice things to say! **★★★★★ — Carl King, May 2023** > Ulises has done work for me for almost 10 years now. I can't recommend Ulises and Alanis Development more highly. I've already connected him with several of my friends and coworkers. Ulises cares about the quality of his work and his reputation. He is one of the most reliable contractors I've met. He is a man of his word and if anything is to ever go wrong, he, himself, will make sure it is made right. An example of this is at one of my properties, we were refinishing the wood floors. I expected it to be done by a specific night because my family was out of town. When I walked in, it was not done as expected. There was a mix up in communication but I called Ulises and he and his son came to my home that night and stayed late into the evening and next morning to make sure it was done. He is a good man who does reliable and excellent work at a reasonable/fair price. I have probably had him do at least 15 different projects for me and he always delivers. Book with confidence. **Comment from Alanis Interiors:** > Thank you for the review, this type of feedback is what makes you keep going and do the right thing also provide a service as a trustable contractor > > Thanks again, **★★★★★ — Ervin, June 2022** > Ulyses and the Alanis corporation did work in my apartment .

They created a beautiful and luxurious bathroom for me. Excellent workmanship! Ulises Alanis and his employees are professional, reliable, and trustworthy. They are committed to getting the results you want right down to the smallest detail. You won’t go wrong with this company! **Comment from Alanis Interiors:** > Thank you very much for these kind words and I hope to serve you again in your next project. **★★★★★ — GK, Jan. 2022** > Alanis Development Corporation did terrific work fixing and re-tiling our bathroom floor, repairing cabinets, and tackling some custom projects. Ulises was patient, creative, and flexible. He went above and beyond to save us time and hassle in terms of preparing the spaces, picking up supplies and clean-up. The crew's work was both efficient and meticulous. We are very pleased with the results. **Comment from Alanis Interiors:** > Thank you for taking time to provide a feedback, it will be very helpful for future clients that wants to know about us > Please do lot hesitate ti call me if you have any other needs **★★★★★ — Nick Trebon, Dec. 2021** > We received a referral for Ulises and Alanis Development from one of our neighbors and couldn’t be more pleased with the outcome of our project. Throughout the entire process, Ulises was very professional and considerate of the fact that my family chose to live in our house during the entire renovation. Work began when he promised and continued at an impressive pace. We typically had people from Alanis at our residence Monday through Friday, from 8:30 to 4:30 and we never felt as though our project wasn’t a priority. Our kitchen was even finished faster than expected. Throughout, Ulises did a great job in keeping us in the loop with the current state of the work. Further, he was very responsive when any issues did arise, even after the project was completed. We would recommend without reservation and will definitely reach out to Alanis for any future projects of our own. **Comment from Alanis Interiors:** > Thank you, it was a pleasure working for you and I will like to thank you for your great review, this will help new clients to see who we are and how responsible we are. > Looking forward to work with you again **★★★★★ — Yvonne Doll, Nov. 2021** > Alanis and his team were fantastic! The quote was accurate, the guys that did the job were really professional and the project turned out perfect. I would 100% use them again. **★★★★★ — mara82, Nov. 2021** > I had the great pleasure of working with Alanas Development on my recent condo renovation. I can't recommend them highly enough. Ulises is someone who adores what he does and it shows. He brings creativity and energy to the project and is always thinking about ways to make the final result even better. He goes out of his way for the customer in ways that are above and beyond. He is a fantastic collaborator/partner in a project. It's not easy to do a renovation in a condo complex and Ulises handled it with grace and patience. > > The final result of the work they did is spectacular. His contribution to decision-making helped make it so. The quality of the work he and his team do is exemplary. I highly recommend them for any size project. **Comment from Alanis Interiors:** > Thank you and will always be able to help you in any future projects, thank you for this great review **★★★★★ — jcassato, June 2021** > Ulises was awesome! Highly recommend these guys for any house projects you need done. We hired Ulises and his team to hand and instal outdoor string lights for our patio. He and his team were on time, neat, and meticulous! He was able to squeeze us in before a holiday weekend as we were having company in town and wanted to enjoy the lights all weekend. We could not be happier with the project and Ulises! Thank you! **★★★★★ — Krutin Desai, May 2021** > Ulises and the rest of the team at Alanis Development were absolutely vital in our rehab and reno job. After buying our new home, we had Alanis Development handle converting carpet to hardwoods, paint throughout, and various inspection-related criticals. The attentiveness and thoroughness of this team is why we continued to use them beyond our initial move-in needs. Ulises was able to coordinate replacing some windows, adding a window, reframing our primary closet, and tearing out/patching some old built-ins. But the real testament to this team's quality of work was when we had them take on demo and reno of our entire kitchen. The team worked seamless with our designer (whom they'd never worked with before) and nailed the level of detail and finish we could only dream of. Their flexibility allowed us to interject our own touches without skipping a beat, and they worked with us to a great extent when we needed to move in to the home while heavy work was still underway. I cannot thank this team enough for coordinating and managing through Covid related challenges as well as planning effectively for the unavoidable delays in shipping time and delivery of materials. Personable and accommodating, it want just what this team was able to delivery, but how. Highly recommended! **★★★★★ — Phil Wrenn, May 2021** > Ulises and his team did an amazing job replacing my deck and were truly a pleasure to work with. His workers were the utmost professionals and they did a fantastic job completing the project in under a day and a half. Ulises was also extremely helpful in picking out the perfect material, provided a very competitive bid, and kept us involved during the process. We love our new deck and are grateful for the quick turnaround time and dedication to high quality by Ulises and his guys. High recommendations for Ulises and his team, and we will certainly utilize his services again for other home repair projects. **★★★★★ — HU-664707943, Dec. 2020** > Ulises I want to thank you and your team for the wonderful work you did at our home. Your team is so professional, polite, respectful and looked after our home with such care. The work is outstanding and really showed us what it's like to have true professionals take care of a project. > We appreciate the workmanship, your expertise and flexibility as we continued to add jobs to your list. Thank you so much! I would strongly recommend you to anyone and we will see you soon with more things we want to get done. > > Work completed: whole new wardrobe built, patched and painted walls, fixed major cracks and bathroom repairs. **★★★★★ — Tom, Dec. 2020** > Alanis and his crew do first rate work. They were on time, diligent and professional. The crew did a top notch job and extremely polite. They cleaned up and were very organized. I would use them again in an instant. Very satisfied with Alanis and his team. **★★★★★ — C. Callery, Nov. 2020** > Alanis Development Corporation > I contracted Alanis Development Corporation during the month of October to make a repair of an interior wall in my home which is 100 years old. Over time, rainwater had damaged the drywall. We believed the water was coming from a broken exterior drainpipe that was installed during a rehabilitation project completed several years ago. When the wall was opened, we learned that the damage was much greater than expected. The original rehabilitation used timbers that were well over 80 years old and most pieces were rotten. In addition, the original framing work was poorly done. The required work was extensive covering an area nearly 20 feet by 36 feet. The job required a complete reframing of the damaged section of the interior wall, installation of external paneling, installation of insulation, installation of drywalling, and painting. The company was professional, courteous, and thorough during the entire project. They met the proposed time frame and budget. The work performed was excellent, and I would gladly refer them to others for the quality of their work. **Comment from Alanis Interiors:** > Thank you for you business and I will share this with my employees. > > They will see that doing the right thing pays off and will keep clients very happy, Thank you again **★★★★★ — Lucas, Nov. 2020** > We hired Ulises and Alanis Development to redo some of our bathroom. Ulises was extremely helpful for us (especially being first-time homeowners) in deciding how to go about replacing much of the flooring. He offered helpful suggestions and was always quick to respond when contacted. Ronaldo and the rest of the crew were also considerate, punctual, and completed the job with expert craftsmanship. We are looking forward to working with Ulises and Alanis Development for our next project in the future! **★★★★★ — Joanne B, Nov. 2020** > My clients wanted to overhaul the front entrance of their condo. It was a big task especially in the midst of a pandemic when supply chains caused delay across many industries. Ulises and his team were very professional and replaced the sliding doors with more traditional French doors and it made a world of difference. Would recommend time and time again. **★★★★★ — Elaine Rado, Sept. 2020** > Second time working with Ulises and his work was just as good. Bigger project than before (which was tile, a third floor outside vent for the oven, and painting.) New huge condo bought as is, that needed significant work - carpeting replaced by a wood floor, wall paper removed and painted multiple colors, changing bathroom and kitchen faucets, removing linoleum and replacing it with tile in two rooms and much more.. Ulises would give advice when asked and find the best sites to buy things like door knobs.Very kind and patient with me > ( haven't moved in 21 years.). And worked with significant restraints on times because of HOA rules. Between that and the Tile and Flooring store (Halsted by New City) making several errors in the order, the job took an extra week, but there was plenty to do. HIs workers show up and are conscientious, pleasant, and do their best to stay out of the way, and are meticulous in their work, Ulises even had them repaint a few walls when I didn't like the color. He went out of his way to find items that matched despite the distance. He made a point of choosing one piece that overlaps the gap in the french door that he thought I would like (and I do!). One hears a lot of horror stories if contractors starting work and then disappearing for weeks. Not Ulises. He and/or his crew were there every day. I recommend him Highly and with no reservations, **★★★★★ — kathyalai, Aug. 2020** > I hired Ulises to replace two custom-sized window sills after they became warped. He came to inspect the job and provide an estimate within hours of my broker's request. He was friendly, professional and transparent. He was able to accommodate a tight timeline and the final job looked fantastic. I really appreciated his responsive communication and expert work throughout. **★★★★★ — Dean Johnsen, Aug. 2020** > Alanis and his team were fantastic. I used them to paint my entire 2 bed/2 bath condo as well as some electrical, plumbing and other random handyman work. I got three bids on the project and Alanis Development came in at a very competitive rate, but most importantly I just trusted Alanis. He knows what he's doing. Project was complete on schedule despite me adding additional work requests half way through the project. I would use his services again. **★★★★★ — Cristina Tu, July 2020** > Ulises was very thorough and responsive! We needed the fireplace to be refaced before listing a condo, and he was able to give a quote and start the project ASAP. He also kept the living room space very clean and organized while working. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for large or smaller projects. **★★★★★ — Karen McDonald, July 2020** > This is the second time I've worked with Alanis Development. This project was full house (condo) painting, with numerous drywall repairs, due to some HVAC repairs. Also included painting kitchen cabinets - which I highly recommend to refresh your kitchen. Once we contracted, the Alanis team met all timetables. The team was reliable, polite, and competent. They did their best to make sure we were able to use our living spaces each evening; things were kept clean and tidy in our condo.Ulises checked on the project and our satisfaction frequently. He was also helpful as we chose colors and paint finishes. The price was fair and firm - no surprises. **★★★★★ — C. Callery, June 2020** > The job included plumbing and drywall repair. The repairman was highly professional and courteous. Overall, the company provided excellent service. The repair is spotless. Clean and perfectly done. **★★★★★ — Vincent, June 2020** > Extremely quick response within just one hour for light installation inquiry and quick work with high quality even within one hour. **★ — Tessa, Feb. 2020** > Spent over 3,000 to redo cabinets in our bathroom and after less than one month the paint is chipping. Really disappointed in the quality of work. **★★★★★ — Whitney Webster, Jan. 2020** > Alanis Development Corp did a fantastic job rehabbing our lakeshore condo. The unit hadn't been renovated in over 20 years and was in bad shape. They were helpful, efficient, and the craftsmanship was top notch. We'd definitely use them again. **★★★★★ — Tamara Klauer, Dec. 2019** > Ulises and his team were wonderful. Truly professional. Arrived on time, very polite, very helpful. We remodeled the kitchen and updated a condo foreclosure. Ulises helped us pick products that met our budget and helped us design a beautiful space. His pricing was fair and he was very accommodating to our ever expanding list of needs. **★★★★★ — Mary Ellen Hickey, Dec. 2019** > Ulises was great to work with! He was super accommodating, went out of his way to help with a few inevitable issues popped up (such as appliance delivery). His crew was very clean and courteous, and pricing reasonable. He completed paint, fireplace remodel and full kitchen remodel for us. > > I am a first time remodeler and he was extremely patient with all of our questions and providing help along the way. Would recommend for anyone looking to remodel in Chicago. **★★★★★ — Karen McDonald, Nov. 2019** > Ulises and his team are excellent. Ulises was responsive to my initial inquiry and answered my follow-up questions in a timely manner. The work was done in the time frame requested. My project was fairly small, tiling a kitchen backsplash, yet I was still treated with professionalism and I never felt like I was secondary to some of their bigger projects; and, Ulises took the time to stop by personally to make sure we were satisfied. Great work, great customer service, fair pricing. **★★★★★ — Langdon's, Oct. 2019** > I used Ulisses for a bathroom remodel and kitchen upgrade in my condo. He and his crew did a great job. All of the people on the job were professional, the job site was kept very clean, and the work was done quickly with no delays. Thanks for making this project so easy! **★★ — Daniel, Sept. 2019** > Like a few other reviewers on this website, I cannot speak to Ulises’ work because he declined to take on my project. I have no qualms with the fact that he declined to take the job (it is perfectly within his right to do so), but I do have issues with his inability to communicate this information to me. > > After the initial phone call, Ulises came out to my home and reviewed the work that needed to be done. He was very friendly and knowledgeable. He said that he would follow-up by email with a proposal. Three weeks went by and I had not yet received the proposal or any other communication, so I sent him a follow-up email. He apologized for the delay and stated he would be working on the proposal early the next week. > > I waited for the proposal for an additional FOUR weeks. Again, I did not receive any communication during that time. A quick update on the progress of the proposal would have been appreciated. I sent him a follow-up email and he responded that he “would not be able to provide an estimate” because his employee that does wallpaper is no longer available and he would "rather pass." > > I am very frustrated that it took him seven weeks to tell me that he did not want to do the project. This is lost time that I could have spent looking for a different contractor. The project could have plausibly been completed by now. > > Because of the unreasonable length of time between emails, which I had to initiate, I am convinced that if I had never reached out, I would have never heard from Ulises again after our initial meeting. > > I am writing this review so potential clients can be aware they may experience a lack of communication and/or long wait times to receive an estimate. **★★★★ — HU-276580322, July 2019** > We hired Alanis Development to completely renovate a kitchen and bathroom. They were very easy to work and communicate with, offered creative solutions and the workmen were patient, kind and professional. We provided the layout and design and they made it come to life ... love the new look!! **★★★★★ — Joy Thorn, July 2019** > I hired Alanis Development to complete a kitchen backsplash project. After reaching out to several contractors recommended by the tile store, I found Ulisses at Alanis to be the most responsive and knowledgeable about the process of everyone I contacted. I hired the team to do the work which took approximately 2 days (1/2 day each). The contractor arrived on time, completed his work in a timely manner, and left my kitchen cleaner than I gave it to him! They also managed around working in a condo in the city which isn't always easy. I highly recommend this team. **★★★★ — Lynn zwiener, June 2019** > Very pleased with their work. They were polite and professional and would not hesitate to use them for future projects. **★★ — JEREMY VOSKO, May 2019** > Note that I did not have work done by Alanis Development Corporation...I did however contact them to work with them and was treated unprofessionally. My first appointment was set by Ulises for 5/16/2019 at 6:00PM and was cancelled and rescheduled to the following Saturday morning. Ulises did not show up or contact me during the new appointment time and hung up on me when I called him on the phone to see where he was. He later apologized and offered to come by later in the day. I cannot speak for his work but was frustrated with the initial process and will be looking elsewhere. **★★★★★ — Michelle Duque, Feb. 2019** > Ulises is an amazing contractor and the work he and his employees did is great. > > I needed a bathroom put back together after my condo building did a pipe replacement. I’m currently out of state and renting the unit. We did this remodel via text (I’m not kidding) and Ulises was on the mark with responses, information, and pictures. He always responded within the hour, even into the night, and he worked with the deadline I proposed to have my tenant back home. > > There were of course unanticipated issues, but Ulises incorporated them into the work we had discussed with ease. I was anxious, texting a lot of questions, and he answered all of them without irritation. He also answered calls immediately. > > Ulises did his absolute best to have my project done on time, though our finish date was slightly delayed due to weather. It would’ve been on time without the storm, I’m sure. > > My management checked the work when done and reported the work was absolutely great. This included tile work, vanity installation, tub re-glazing, painting, and shower door installation. > > We will definitely contract this company in the future. **★★★★★ — Stephen Subak, Feb. 2019** > Ulisses and his team did a phenomenal job. Our condo presented numerous hurdles and they handled all of them. The end result was tremendous, and they even helped us on a side project. **★★★★★ — Geo Red, Jan. 2019** > Alanis completed a major bathroom remodel involving replacement of a tub with walk-in shower, re-tiling, and installation of new hardware. The work was done on time and kept to the project budget. The work proceeded every day except for times of forseen downtime. No wondering when the contractor might show up, as I've experienced with other contractors. The final product was well done quality work. Importantly, communication was excellent before and during the work. Calls and texts promptly returned, questions answered, updates on progress were regular. The workers were courteous and professional. The jobsite area was left clean and orderly every day. Alanis also offered helpful suggestions on material suppliers to use. I would highly recommend Alanis. **★★★★★ — HU-417259152, Dec. 2018** > Alanis Development did a bathroom remodel in my mother’s condo in Chicago . > He did a great job dealing with the management in the building to get the work done in a timely fashion. > > The bathroom turned out beautiful. **★★★★★ — HU-710502045, Nov. 2018** > Ulises and did a great job helping transform my 80s kitchen and bath into a modern masterpiece:) He’s quote was fair and he did a nice job keeping me informed throughout the process. He was also open to me using Ikea cabinets with Semi-Handmade fronts. > I am really pleased with the final result. **★★★★ — E K, Nov. 2018** > Alanis Development retiled a portion of my bathroom shower after some pipe work was done. They were very responsive to communicate with and offered a reasonable price. I would hire them again! **★★★★★ — HU-176452610, Oct. 2018** > They did an amazing job and my washing room and ceiling look great! Would highly recommend and use for all future jobs. **★★★★★ — Gus C, Sept. 2018** > I hired Alanis for two bathroom tile remods in September 2018 and could not be happier with the result. Their workers showed up on time every day, communicated well, were courteous, neat and showed great skill in their demo, building and tiling skills. I was given a fair price of $1500 for work in two units and they kept their word on the price despite some unforseen obstacles. I would recommend them to anyone who needs tile work done in their home, condo or apartment. **★★★★★ — Lois D., April 2018** > Ulisses did a professional job. He stayed within his quote, was on time, the work was high quality and he did exactly what he said he would do. He communicated with us so we always knew what was going on and returned our calls promptly. They also cleaned up nicely at the end of each day. We would recommend Alanis to anyone who wants quality work **★ — C Vltrz, April 2018** > I was looking forward to working with Ulisses and his team. He came down to our home and gave us some great ideas & inspirations. He took measurements and told us he would get a proposal back to us by the end of the week. That was about 3 weeks ago...Such a bummer. No reply and no communication. **★★★★★ — Jay Cui, March 2018** > Ulises, Rolando and the crew did an amazing job remodeling our two bathrooms, both of which were quite outdated and the previous owner did not make much efforts maintaining it. We spoke with a few contractors and picked Alanis Development Corp because we really liked Ulises and his team. Not only did he give you a fair estimate but also made recommendations based on his experience. He sent pictures of his previous projects to give us inspiration for our design. Better yet, he was one of the few selected contractors that our local tile shop offers discounts for - we ended up saving a lot on tiles. > > During the project Rolando and the crew were courteous, patient, and tried to meet our needs to the best of their ability. We always feel like we are well informed of the progress and issues that came up. The project was finished on time before our planned vacation and we couldn’t be happier with the end products. I would definitely use them again for our future projects, and will not hesitate to recommend them to anyone who is looking for a high-quality general contractor! **★★★★★ — Victor B., March 2018** > Ulises Alanis and his team were phenomenal during the renovation process. His team was very respectful of keeping dust to minimum and arriving and leaving on time each and everyday. > > Ulises did a great job of keeping us informed on the progress and the next step of the renovation. He always answered my questions promptly (which were a lot) and helped in making decisions that made our kitchen look great. > > We kept on adding projects throughout the process and he never once got frustrated. He was more than happy to take them on. > > I really feel that he wanted us to be 100% happy with the final product. We were so happy that we had them do our bathroom as well. > > The pictures I have included do not give the final result justice. > > We will definitely use him again for any future project and refer them to family and friends. **★★★★★ — Danielle Zimmerman, Feb. 2018** > Owner Ulises Alanis and his team deliver good quality work while respecting schedule and original pricing. Ulises is reliable, personable, and easy to work with. We have used Alanis corporation on several jobs and locations over time, from kitchen and bathroom remodeling to floor refinishing, and have always been satisfied. We strongly recommend Alanis corporation. **Comment from Alanis Interiors:** > Thank you Danielle and Martin, It has been a pleasure doing work for you, I'm very thankful for this review and please do not hesitate to call me if you have any other project > > Respectfully, > Ulises Alanis. **★★★★★ — Sarah Marynowski, Nov. 2017** > We contacted Ulises at Alanis Development Corp to put up a kitchen backsplash on a Friday and the project was completely finished beautifully by the following Wednesday. He was able to give us a very reasonable quote just through pictures in a text message. My condominium complex is strict about getting work done, but Ulises was able to get us all the information/paperwork the building needed in time to start the project right away. Gerardo was the one who came to do the work. He was extremely friendly, professional, and did a great job! He had great attention to detail and we couldn’t be happier with the final product. Each day after completing the work he cleaned up and made it look like he was never here. We can’t stop looking at our backsplash. > > I would highly recommend Alanis Development Corp. Very reasonable cost and beautiful and professional work. We will be calling them for future projects! **★★★★★ — Karin Torres, Sept. 2017** > Ulises captured my vision and purpose for the bathroom remodel and brought it to completion satisfactorily. His crew were professional, respectful of the space and consulted me on issues that arose throughout the project. Ulises was flexible regarding my requests and fair regarding budgeting. I would definitely hire them again for future projects. **★★★★★ — emily\_b\_lund, Aug. 2017** > Ulises and his team completed a number of projects for us with proficiency and respect for our home. Thank you! **★★★★★ — purrington55, July 2017** > Complete - and wonderful - renovation of condo. Great to work with; on-budget and on-time; and beautiful results. Highly recommended! **★★★★★ — emcochran7, June 2017** > We recently hired Ulises to do two projects in our Wicker Park home. We needed a half wall built in a loft room and we needed a new outdoor railing for our roof deck (our current railing was a safety nightmare for our toddler). I found Ulises on Angie's List and he came over within 2 days of me contacting him. He gave me great ideas for the wall and had a custom railing made for our outdoor space. And better yet, he started the project within days of the estimate (under a week, I think). Wait wait, it gets better. For the wall project, the guys working in our house were incredibly respectful of the dust and our home; they kept me updated the entire time. The outdoor custom made wrought-iron railing was installed a week later and not only is it safe for our daughter, it looks SO much better! I can't thank Ulises enough for maintaining excellent communication, respecting our home, and doing an excellent job in a very quick timeframe. I would HIGHLY recommend Ulises and his team for any project you have, big or small. I can't wait for him to replace our deck!! **★★★★★ — Elaine Rado, June 2017** > I hired Alanis Development to install an exhaust fan for my oven in my third floor condo - something I previously could not find someone to do. They also installed a tile backsplash in my kitchen, recaulked my sink and painted the kitchen and dining room. They were on time, worked efficiently, readily accommodated small extra requests, and charged me the estimated price. The workers were courteous, pleasant, and non-intrusive. I recommend this company highly. **★★★★★ — oliviaran52, June 2017** > Ulises was prompt, thorough and on time in completing the job. His team was respectful and worked well with the building management. The renovations were really nice. **★★★★★ — Chris Shanks, June 2017** > Our project was a backspalsh tile installation for our kitchen. We picked out a fairly intricate arabesque style tile so having an experienced installer was important. After reaching out to nearly 10 different installers and getting various levels of responses (most didn't even bother calling back) we found Alanis through Houzz. The communication and quoting process with Alanis was mainly over text and proved to be quick, painless and efficient. Their quote wasn't the cheapest but we were looking for quality rather than the cheapest guy around. > > Once we contracted to use their service we scheduled the project start date and their team showed up on time and ready to work. Their crew was prompt, hard working and most importantly skillful. The tile and grout work was completed in two days (roughly 30 square feet) and we couldn't be happier with the result. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Alanis and his crew to anyone else. **★★★★★ — ankur patel, June 2017** > The workers were on time each day and were very clean. The work was done in the timeline we discussed before starting the project. I had a kitchen remodel done. **★★★★★ — kiki\_massaro, April 2017** > Alanis Development has exceeded my expectations from day one. When I first contacted them about building out a storage closet in our hallway they came out and provided a fair and knowledgeable quote for the work. They stuck to schedule and communicated any delays, did high quality work, and were prompt and courteous while working in our home. As a home owner and member of the condo association board these things are very important to me and I've grown to trust Alanis with any project I have-whether it's repairing an internal door, installing a light fixture, or rebuilding our whole external staircase. I highly recommend them to do whatever project or renovation work you have around the home. **Comment from Alanis Interiors:** > Thank you Kiki, our aim to to provide quality work and as I read this review it looks like we are doing it the right way > > Please call us on your next project > Ulises Alanis, Owner > 773.237.2237 **★★★★★ — Mary Santana, Jan. 2017** > The Miracle Center had the pleasure of working with Ulises Alanis as a General Contractor with Alanis Dev. Corp. and his team in renovating our theater in the Hermosa community. > > Throughout the course of the renovation, Mr. Alanis was a consummate professional. He was accurate in his initial assessment of the scale and cost of our project. He was absolutely clear in his record keeping and time log.

Looking forward to working with ADC again soon on some new projects. **★★★★★ — Leticia Velazquez, Jan. 2017** > Alanis Company came out and did some repair work on my bathroom in November of 2016. They were extremely professional, thorough, and reliable. Ulises reached out to me several times during and after the process to make sure I was satisfied with the work and came out and finished the job during the holidays, which tells me he has a very dedicated team that will get the job done the right way. The team and high quality of the work they did was amazing, they even came out Thanksgiving morning to finish the job. They were diligent and detailed in their work and I was so grateful to see that there are companies that still hold high standards for the work they perform and place importance on the quality of a job ! **Comment from Alanis Interiors:** > Hi Leticia, Thank you so much for the review, High standard and reliability is what we focus on to provide with best service possible > > Please do not hesitate to call us in your next project > > Respectfully, > Ulises Alanis > Owner **★★★★★ — Anna Reed, Jan. 2017** > I had repairs done on my home from another company and they were sub par. Ulises was able to make an emergency repair before I sold my house on a day's notice. I don't know of any other company that would be so helpful in an emergency. **★★★★★ — Rey Colón, Dec. 2016** > Alanis was selected to build the porch, bay windows, remove nonconforming windows, replace wood siding and install new Marvin windows in locations original to the birthplace home of Walt Disney. They were provided with architectural plans and followed them according to specs. Alanis provided excellent carpentry work, replaced rotted wood and prepared areas of the home's exterior for painting. We are proud of the quality restoration work performed under the leadership of Ulises Alanis. **★★★★★ — Amy Anderson, Dec. 2016** > I hired Ulises & his team to install a subway tile backsplash in my kitchen. His team was professional, timely and executed the project flawlessly. Their office manager, Jenifer, was very friendly and responsive and made scheduling & billing a breeze. Despite this being a small project, the owner himself dropped by to make sure I was satisfied with the quality of the work. I plan on hiring them again for any future tile work! **★★★★★ — jamais716, Dec. 2015** > Replace downspouts on exterior of 3 floor condo building. Repair water damage in common area and unit including replacing drywall and insulation, disinfecting mold/mildew, painting. > > Very responsive, gave a detailed estimate. Workers are prompt and cleanup well after themselves. Took extra precautions to contain dust when I was having an allergic reaction to the drywall dust/mildew/disinfectant. Followed up after work was completed to ensure that I was satisfied. **★★★★★ — zgelisan, April 2015** > They were very professional and they did a very excellent job remodeling and fixing my bathroom. They tiled the floors and walls as I wanted. They change the toilet , sink, medicine cabinet and bathtub. They put new lights and vent.They rebuild the floors and ceiling. They made sure the plumbing and electric was working right. I highly recommend them. **★★★★ — ohyanks, March 2015** > Knowledgeable, diligent, courteous. The job is always done right. > > Moderately expensive, and very busy, scheduling can be hard, > > I would definitely recommend. **★★★★★ — larrandt, March 2015** > Alanis Development has been caring for our 5,000 square foot home for over ten years. The owner and employees are the best Weve worked with > In the industry. They are timely, respectful, do excellent work, affordable and clean up to mine and my husbands extremely high standards. We highly recommend this company. **★★★★★ — sdavis3rd, Feb. 2015** > Alanis development came to us initially in 2012 or 2013 when we had a water infiltration issue. They were given the job because we were impressed with Ulises' ability to comprehend the full scope of the job at hand, not just what we as the homeowners told him was the problem. > > He worked quickly and efficiently, and most importantly, cleanly. Part of the job was a dusty/moldy wall replacement in an elevator shaft. Before working, him and his crew not only protected the main area where they were working, but took the care to seal up the higher floors as well, effectively keeping the dust out of the rest of the house. Their attention to detail led us to hire them repeatedly for jobs at the house, as well as some rental properties we own. Work included turnover painting and repairs, mold remediation and drywall replacement, tiling, appliance installation, and most recently (Jan 2015) a bathroom remodeling in a downtown High-rise with wickedly restrictive contractor work rules. > > I would say we have given them somewhere between 4 and 6 jobs over since our initial work a few years ago, and my only complaint is that sometimes I can't get him when we need him because he's previously booked. Which, in a way, is the best thing about them. Knowing that others must be just as satisfied with their work as we are. **★★★★★ — sonia841, Feb. 2015** > Ulises is a professional who gets the work done. Super efficient and gets back to you quickly. I would highly recommend him to any one that is looking for his services. ## Selected projects - [N LSD Transitional Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/n-lsd-transitional-kitchen-pj-vj~7168246) - Location: Chicago, IL - Photos: 14 - [N LSD Transitional Bathroom](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/n-lsd-transitional-bathroom-pj-vj~7168251) - Location: Chicago, IL - Photos: 4 - [Powder Bathroom Clarendon Hills](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/powder-bathroom-clarendon-hills-pj-vj~7187403) - Location: Chicago, IL - Photos: 6 - [Downtown High Rise Living Spaces](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/downtown-high-rise-living-spaces-pj-vj~2091231) - Location: Chicago, IL - Photos: 2 - [The Zimmerman's Modern White Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/the-zimmerman-s-modern-white-kitchen-pj-vj~2121502) - Location: Chicago, IL - Photos: 13 - [Kostiner's Downtown High Rise Bathrooms](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/kostiner-s-downtown-high-rise-bathrooms-pj-vj~873699) - Location: Chicago, IL - Photos: 14 - [The Kern's Bathroom Remodeling](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/the-kern-s-bathroom-remodeling-pj-vj~2121489) - Location: Chicago, IL - Photos: 6 - [Zimerman's Open concept Kitchen remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/zimerman-s-open-concept-kitchen-remodel-pj-vj~2091235) - Location: Chicago, IL - Photos: 5 - Description: removed the wall between living room and kitchen and made a big open Kitchen and we added sitting by enlarging our countrtop - [2016 Projects](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/2016-projects-pj-vj~2121727) - Location: Chicago, IL - Photos: 6 - [Complete Bathroom Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/complete-bathroom-remodel-pj-vj~3010088) - Location: Chicago, IL - Photos: 10 - [Bathrooms](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/bathrooms-pj-vj~858558) - Location: Chicago, IL - Photos: 16 - [Penthouse](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/penthouse-pj-vj~159084) - Location: Chicago, IL - Photos: 6 - [The Shank's Back Splash](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/the-shank-s-back-splash-pj-vj~2534777) - Location: Chicago, IL - Photos: 2 - [Tolliver's Condo fresh and Quick remodeling Project](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/tolliver-s-condo-fresh-and-quick-remodeling-project-pj-vj~2522721) - Location: Chicago, IL - Photos: 16 - [Nursery Room](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/nursery-room-pj-vj~6340656) - Location: Chicago, Illinois - Photos: 4 - [BUCKTOWN Kitchen Remodeling](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/bucktown-kitchen-remodeling-pj-vj~6041661) - Location: Chicago, Illinois - Photos: 12 - [LINCOLN PARK KITCHEN REMODEL](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/lincoln-park-kitchen-remodel-pj-vj~6618714) - Location: Chicago, Illinois - Photos: 7 - [Roscoe Village Kitchen Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/roscoe-village-kitchen-remodel-pj-vj~7054281) - Location: Chicago, IL - Photos: 9 - [Lincolnwood Kitchen Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/lincolnwood-kitchen-remodel-pj-vj~7054275) - Location: Lincolnwood, IL - Photos: 19 - [Lincolnwood Master Bathroom Remodeling](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/lincolnwood-master-bathroom-remodeling-pj-vj~7054270) - Location: Lincolnwood, IL - Photos: 13 [See all 46 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/kitchen-and-bath-remodelers/alanis-interiors-pfvwus-pf~1577423420) ## Video - [Company video](https://player.vimeo.com/external/1137969899.m3u8?s=3f7c486c5cc13433cd1c07c902ea2e8fa684a6b5&oauth2_token_id=1384357804) ## Frequently Asked Questions **Are you licensed and insured?** Yes, we are fully licensed kitchen and bath remodelers, and we carry comprehensive insurance to protect both our team and your property during every project we undertake.

A: Buenos días, Good morning **Q: what size vanity** *(in Photo Questions)* I like this vanity with the set of drawers A: I believe it is 36” or 40” vanity **Q: What are the dimensions of the shower.** *(in Photo Questions)* ? A: I think it was 60”x36” **Q: shower wall tile** *(in Photo Questions)* Can you tell me what the wall tile is in the shower? A: Anytime **Q: This tile/waterproofing isn't right, right?** *(in Home Repair)* So we hired a contractor who promised he could do a zero entry shower (and showed me examples of previous curbless showers they had done). Here are the problems we think we see: They are a week into the work and they have started wall tiling, but there's no shower slope at all. It has kerdi in the shower floor which extends a few inches up the wall and redguard on the wall. They think the waterproofing they've done on the flat shower surface is sufficient. The linear drain is partly recessed into the subfloor, but not nearly enough. Their plan is to use thinset to build up for a slope (he needs at least an inch), and then he claims he will waterproof that. That can't possibly work, right? There's already tile on the wall. Not to mention having an inch of thinset doesn't sound like a good idea. 2)The redguard does not appear to be applied correctly and did not extend the backerboard as far as they should have for the wider shower. So part of the shower area just has old regular drywall from when the house was built 30 years ago. Also, the tile and schluter work in the window area looks terrible (not nearly as concerned about this as the rest of the bathroom). We told them to stop work. We are pretty sure we are going to fire them and just do a curb because it's obvious curbless can't be accomplished as promised. The contractor has said he will make it right and pay for the tile that has been ruined, but we don't have any confidence in him at this point. Hoping someone can tell me we aren't crazy here, that this is not right. If anyone has any experience firing contractors and recouping their deposit, that would be nice to hear as well!
