The tradespeople doing the work are highly experienced, meticulous, and personable. The quality of their work is excellent. The administrative staff is friendly and helpful. There may be cheaper alternatives, but when it comes to your home, in the long run cheaper is not better. This is a company that exemplifies "you get what you pay for," and you will be very happy with the results. **★★★★★ — J T, Feb. 2021** > D/R did an outstanding job on our basement remodel--we would highly recommend them! The guys were the consummate professionals who were always very respectful of our home--they rolled out a tarp each day and cleaned up the entry floor hallway each night before they left. Their craftsmanship was excellent and we are so happy with our new basement--thank you D/R Services!! **★★★★★ — carolilene, Feb. 2021** > This is a wonderful company located in Glenview, Illinois. My favorite individuals are Ron, owner, Lance, Richard, Office Manager & chief organizer and scheduler, & Carl, master electrician & expert remodeler all with ideas, expertise and application. They tackle complex issues & tiny annoying issues with integrity, pride and a positive attitude. I have been in my home for over 30 years and have used many different contractors. This company is the best. This company demonstrates high standards for high quality workmanship including home design, build restore, repair. They work long hours to complete a project. They leave the property better than they found it and take pride in what they do. Their timeliness, effective communication & follow-through, and respectful and fair pricing all contribute to this company's being the best of the best. It is with honor that I write this review. Carol Crane **★★★★★ — Marchell Willian, July 2020** > I have used D/R's services several times for a variety of projects. The most significant project was helping us identify the cause of water leaks in our basement. We used a couple of other professionals to try and solve the problem to no avail, but at great cost. D/R never gave up and completely solved the problem. They have been responsive, extremely professional, and very enjoyable to work with throughout each of our projects. I would highly recommend them. **★★★★★ — tjordan125, June 2020** > We have had several projects completed by D/R, including a kitchen remodel, a 2nd-floor bathroom remodel (which included raising the roof to accommodate the new footprint), converting an unused first floor bedroom to a laundry room, an addition to our house which included a master bedroom and bathroom, and a front porch remodel. We have continued to use D/R because of the consistently high quality of their work, and their craftsmanship. They are respectful of our home and our neighbors, and do an excellent job with daily cleanup. We have been very happy with our results and consistently recommend them to friends and family. You will not be sorry if you use them! **★★★★★ — Barry Litwin, May 2020** > D/R services has done several remodeling projects for us. They are very professional, show up on time, clean up daily, and the managers are always available to answer questions or help with changes the customer decides to make mid- project! Not only do they stand behind their work, but they stand behind the products they install. We cannot say enough positive things. We have friends who have also used this company- everyone very happy. **★★★★★ — Joan Cox, May 2020** > Work was professional, meticulous and environmentally friendly. Project manager was flexible with our evolving requirements and offered excellent value-added ideas. Definitely would recommend. **★★★★★ — Jack Liess, May 2020** > D/R was very professional and knowledgeable in installing my Level 2 electric car charger. Several years later they prioritized a service call since they knew I could not recharge my car without the charger working properly. I highly recommend them! **★★★★★ — Leslie Jaffe, May 2020** > A first-class company that completely listened to our needs. We love our luxury bathroom and they found our products at a much greater price than we expected. **★★★★★ — Mimi Lutwak, May 2020** > Ron Cowgill and D/R Construction is an unbelievable company. They are reliable, polite, clean, and always very helpful. They have done many projects for me, some very large and others just as simple as replacing a light fixture. No matter the size of the project they are all taken with the same professionalism. I highly recommend them. **★★★★★ — Gina Paredes, May 2020** > Very professional, top quality excellent work. Removed a lead lined wall in our medical office during office hours. From destruction to the finished area we did not even know they were there, no mess- no dust! **★★★★★ — Paul Wartell, May 2020** > Completed the project on time and on budget. Everything was cleaned and put back where it should be. Would recommend. ## Selected projects - [Three-Season Room Addition - Northbrook](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/three-season-room-addition-northbrook-pj-vj~7373923) - Location: Northbrook, IL - Photos: 8 - Description: Chicago winters are known for being brutal, but the addition of a three-season room with heated floors allowed our homeowner family to enjoy the sparkling snowy views from the comfort of their new toasty space.

The homeowner wanted to modernize the bath while ensuring it kept with the home’s history. And the history is where the problems started – between electrical wiring approaches that haven’t been used since the 1940s to a floor that was nearly rotted through, fighting through three past remodeling efforts (none of which were done correctly) and a broken water main, we’re all thankful this bath was b… - [The "Gimme More" Kitchen - Arlington Heights](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/the-gimme-more-kitchen-arlington-heights-pj-vj~7373909) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 11 - Description: This family needed MORE of everything in their kitchen – space, storage, and the ability to move around when using the room.
