They do honest hard work, and listen to your needs, desires, and concerns. Very professional and reliable, and easy to get a hold of. Please consider Apex Builders, Inc. for your next home project! **★★★★★ — Jane Cook, Sept. 2016** > I have used Apex construction for many rehab projects in our home over the years. These projects ranged from smaller jobs...like making a stove fit and retrimming the area to replacing a two story picture window...to a master bathroom total remodel. I would NEVER have anyone else in my house to do any project. Here is why...from the first meeting to discuss what I am looking for ...my budget ..and options and a time frame...Every question is answered and answered accurately. I am given suggestions ,optional plans, given different price structures and help with reputable places to go and look at for ideas and products. There is never a limit to the the questions you can ask before or during a project and your calls and questions are returned in a very timely matter each and everytime from beginning to end. Projects are accurately given time frames and cost...and everytime they are accurate...Most of all all workers to my house are professional ,friendly, and their work from plumbers to electricians to construction workers to painters have all done meticulous work. Rich himself is onsite daily and all work done by himself or his staff must pass a 100 percent perfection standard. My bathroom came in almost to the penny on cost and was featured in a magazine. If you want a small project done to a large remodel you need a professional company you can trust but more importantly to do absolute beautiful work! 5 stars every time....call apex!!! **★★★★★ — jloran43, Aug. 2016** > Apex Builders, Inc has done several projects in our home. They are thorough, dependable and masterful in what they do. I would definitely recommend them. **★★★★★ — wgmorec40, Aug. 2016** > Rich and Nora did a great job on the construction of our home. Excellent craftsmanship. Very satisfied with their work. Would reccomend. **★★★★★ — jpsostak, Aug. 2016** > My Wife and I have been customers of Apex Builders, Inc for over 20 years. Rich and Nora and their team of experts have helped us complete numerous renovations in the past. Most recently, they were our choice for the construction of our custom dream home. > > Rich was involved in every step of the process, starting with site selection and regular meetings with our architect . His honest opinions, attention to detail, and accessibility made the progression of watching the plans come to life an easy and exciting one. > > The team assembled by Apex performed an incredible feat. They were punctual, polite, and talented. Our home would not have the high end result it has without the craftsmen that worked on every detail. > > It has been truly amazing watching our ideas come to life. We are very proud of our new home, as well as thankful for Rich Van Ham and Apex Builders, Inc. **★★★★★ — Mary Speers, Aug. 2016** > We have had Apex Builders for a myriad of projects over many years: two bathrooms, a sunporch, roofing issues, general decorating and new windows. Rich is very responsive, gets jobs done on schedule and finds good people to do the work. He is our go to person when we need something done at our house, large or small. I would not hesitate to recommend him!! **★★★★★ — Mason Hallett, Aug. 2016** > I first met Rich and Apex in 1997 when we did a major renovation of our house. What lead me to go with Apex for the project was what I perceived to be Rich's honesty. That perception proved to be correct. Since then we have had Apex do a complete kitchen redesign/remodel as well as install a custom designed metal railing while upgrading our front deck. Rich has proven to be honest, competent and responsive for all of the projects. I would recommend Apex builders and Rich to anyone who is looking for a contractor they can believe in. **★★★★★ — HU-173089, Aug. 2016** > Apex Builders did an excellent job on 3 projects for us: an extensive first floor main living room area, an outside dormer reconstruction, and a 500 foot wrap-around sun porch addition. Rich VanHamm is the ultimate professional, always around supervising the subcontractors, communicating with us and overseeing the projects. Apex always met deadlines and stayed within budget. Rich was a delight to work with and always made sure the work was done expertly and to our satisfaction. Go with Apex for a quality job done right the first time! **★★★★★ — Nan and Charlie Butler, Aug. 2016** > Apex Builders came to our rescue in March, 2008 to help design and create a renovation to a home we had just moved to in the Illinois Valley. The renovation was completed in May, 2008. Our new home has two floors; a main floor and a lower level each approximately 1700 square feet. We are a senior couple not retired at that time but one of us is retired now. It seemed to make our house the perfect home for us was to design the main level for our major daily living. All of the design was a very cooperative effort with great ideas exchanged and implemented. Two huge bathrooms were converted to one with a large walk-in, door-less shower and a very large closet/dressing room for both of us off the master bedroom. Doorways were changed and make for a very stunning open-concept kitchen, dining and living room. Rich Van Ham has made himself available for many additional fix-it projects that we are not able to do, e.g., drainpipes, downspouts, wall repair in the lower level, post hole digging and cementing posts into the ground. We appreciate Rich and Apex Builders everyday that we live in our home. **★★★★★ — mnickolo, Aug. 2016** > Apex Builders has transformed our master bath and two others, our kitchen and family room. I love the results. Rich and his experienced crew are professional, talented and on time. If you compare costs, as we did, you will find Apex prices very competitive with no surprises at the end. If you are considering a home project check with Rich Van Ham. You'll never work with anybody else. **★★★★★ — Cynthia Theisen, Aug. 2016** > We think Apex Builders does a great job, and have used them several times. Rich and his crew are highly professional and very respectful of your home while doing quality work. Our biggest project was our kitchen remodel and went from drab to fab! > We have recommended them to friends and neighbors while all have been very impressed with their work. Don't hesitate to choose Apex Builders for all your needs! **★★★★★ — HU-151135, Aug. 2016** > Rich and his APEX team put two additions on our house and remodeled a good portion of the interior. The kitchen was expanded, a full bath was added, and some interior remodeling was included. The work is very high quality and we have had ZERO problems. Virtually everyone who visits our house loves the design and the workmanship. I would recommend Apex to anyone, for both large and small jobs, without hesitation. ## Selected projects - [Craftsman Custom Home Build](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/craftsman-custom-home-build-pj-vj~2402337) - Location: Glen Ellyn, IL - Photos: 42 - [Glen Ellyn Custom Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/glen-ellyn-custom-home-pj-vj~1941500) - Location: Glen Ellyn, IL - Photos: 31 - [Young Family Home Renovation](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/young-family-home-renovation-pj-vj~1943222) - Location: Ottawa, IL - Photos: 10 - [Master Bath Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/master-bath-remodel-pj-vj~2406301) - Location: Aurora, IL - Photos: 5 - [Custom Bar](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/custom-bar-pj-vj~2406311) - Location: North Aurora, IL - Photos: 9 - [Custom Home Build](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/custom-home-build-pj-vj~2406263) - Location: Glen Ellyn, IL - Photos: 2 - [Transitional Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/transitional-kitchen-pj-vj~215270) - Location: Naperville, IL - Photos: 10 - [Three Season Rooms](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/three-season-rooms-pj-vj~215304) - Location: Sugar Grove, IL - Photos: 10 - [Traditional Kitchen Remodels](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/traditional-kitchen-remodels-pj-vj~215287) - Location: Aurora, IL - Photos: 11 - [White Kitchen Update](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/white-kitchen-update-pj-vj~215296) - Location: Aurora, IL - Photos: 8 - [Kitchen & Bathroom Projects](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/kitchen-and-bathroom-projects-pj-vj~215320) - Location: Naperville, IL - Photos: 10 - [Contemporary Bathroom Renovation](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/contemporary-bathroom-renovation-pj-vj~215294) - Location: Glen Ellyn, IL - Photos: 3 - [Basement Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/basement-remodel-pj-vj~2406272) - Location: Naperville, IL - Photos: 12 - [Basement Recording Studio](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/basement-recording-studio-pj-vj~2406288) - Location: North Aurora, IL - Photos: 8 - [Traditional Bathroom](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/traditional-bathroom-pj-vj~215282) - Location: Glen Ellyn, IL - Photos: 4 [See all 15 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/general-contractors/apex-builders-inc-pfvwus-pf~1954858089) --- *Source: Houzz professional profile.
