Incorporated into this was a brand new wine cellar. The team was respectful of our home, everyone was friendly and they were great workers. We wound up having a slight issue on the sizing of the bottle openings in our new wine cellar. Geno came out, looked at the issue and promptly got his team engaged to fix it. > > They are craftsmen and take tremendous pride in their work. This is our second major project with Benvenuti and Stein and we’ve been blown away both times. It’s rare for a project to come out “better” than you expected. The team is 2 for 2! > > I highly recommend this group for any home renovation project you have! **Comment from Benvenuti and Stein:** > Thank you very much Richard! Our whole team enjoyed working with you and hope you enjoy your new space. Warm Regards Geno **★★★★★ — Hannah Tuttle, Nov. 2024** > I highly recommend Benvenuti and Stein for any home renovation project. They transformed our unfinished attic into a beautiful and comfortable third floor living space. Their team had awesome ideas and worked with us at our pace. Every employee was great and did quality work. They were very responsive, kind, and patient from beginning to end. I have zero criticisms, which I’ve come to realize is extremely rare when remodeling! Use Benvenuti and Stein for your next project. You won’t regret it. **Comment from Benvenuti and Stein:** > Thank you very much Hannah! Our staff truly enjoyed working with you and Connor and we look forward to collaborating with you on future projects. > Warm Regards- Geno **★★★★★ — steffenson, March 2024** > We highly recommend Benvenuti and Stein! > > We chose to remodel our basement recreation room and the B&S team helped us re-imagine our space with even more comfort, style, and functionality. From start to finish, the entire team was responsive, creative, professional and friendly. Our remodel was completed in a timely fashion and the team was considerate of our needs as we remained in our home during the project. Their subcontractors for electrical, plumbing, and HVAC were highly skilled and found creative solutions for our issues. The B&S custom cabinets are thoughtfully designed and beautifully constructed. > > Every aspect of the project exceeded our expectations. **★★★★★ — Leah Bolger Design, Dec. 2023** > I've had the pleasure of working with Gino and his team over the past three years for custom cabinetry/millwork and general contracting. He and his team are amazing!!! They are detailed driven, extremely well organized and always go the distance to ensure quality results. The cabinetry shop is a finely tuned machine that delivers on time, as promised. The teams expertise and communication abilities contribute to the success of every project which goes hand-in-hand with client satisfaction. Without reservation, highly recommend Gino and his team to my architect, designer, builder colleagues as well as home owners. **★★★★★ — Cindy D., Aug. 2023** > Benvenuti and Stein did am A+ job on my condo remodel. Everything turned out more beautiful than I expected. The design process to the execution ran extremely smoothly. > My project manager Gerry and team were extremely professional and had one goal of client satisfaction. > Thank you to everyone (including all the workmen on site) who contributed to my dream space! **★★★★★ — alexa1720, March 2023** > We had a wonderful experience with Benvenuti and Stein. As busy professionals with two young kids, we chose Benvenuti because we wanted a one-stop shop and the easiest process possible. > > Geno was very fair and pragmatic from the beginning, counseling us conservatively to NOT spend extra dollars. Having the architect, designer, project manager, and cabinet shop all at the same place made everything simple and seamless. We felt very taken care of and I can honestly say it was fairly painless, even though we did a major kitchen remodel with structural changes and a huge plumbing upgrade. Any bumps in the road (and of course there are always bumps) were corrected quickly. > > As for the team... If you're going to have a bunch of people in your house all day for months on end, these are the folks you want. Polished, professional and perfectionist! (and fun too!) We are so grateful to our project manager Gerry, architect Rod, designer Megan and all the guys who worked on site - head carpenter Dave, Ron, Mike and Rob. Most importantly of course - the final product is flawless. Our kitchen is beyond our wildest dreams: extremely functional, beautiful and designed to grow with our family. **★★★★★ — Carolina Polo, March 2023** > I highly recommend Benvenuti and Stein for anyone looking to remodel their home, especially those looking for a kitchen upgrade. Their exceptional design skills are unmatched, and they blew me away with the transformation of my kitchen. > > Their cross-functional team of designers, architects, and builders worked together seamlessly to create a design that was not only functional but also beautiful. I was impressed with their ability to take my ideas and preferences and incorporate them into a stunning design that exceeded my expectations. > > The final product was not just a kitchen, but a work of art. I am still amazed by the attention to detail and the unique design elements that make my kitchen stand out. The space is now brighter, more open, and functional, and it has significantly improved my day-to-day life. > > In addition to their exceptional design skills, Benvenuti and Stein's professionalism, responsiveness, and attention to detail set them apart from the rest. They delivered the project on time and within budget, and their team was always professional, courteous, and respectful of my home. > > Overall, I highly recommend Benvenuti and Stein for any home remodeling project. Their exceptional design skills, professionalism, and attention to detail make them the ideal partner for any renovation project. I would give them a full 5 stars for their unreal design, excellent craftsmanship, and outstanding services. **★★★★★ — Al Kagan, April 2022** > Benvenuti and Stein did an outstanding job on our custom family room built-ins. We brought them a design that was pretty unique with lots of arches and the need to blend-in to the adjacent kitchen cabinetry in our open floorplan. Maurice spent time answering all of our questions, addressing our concerns, and kept us current throughout the process. When we came onsite to their shop to do a walkthrough, we were amazed at seeing the care and craftsmanship that went into the project. > > Everyone who comes to our house is, literally, in awe of the amazing job that they did and we couldn't be happier. They were a joy to work with and the results speak for themselves. Highly recommended and we will certainly be using them again for our future projects! **Comment from Benvenuti and Stein:** > Thank you very much Al. We look forward to working with you again as well! **★★★★★ — Jeff S, March 2022** > Sunroom addition was designed and executed to perfection. Minimal disruption during construction. Quality workmanship and materials. Geno and his team were extremely responsive. Hung with us through project delays not of their making. One stop shop for everything was great. We’re thrilled with the new space. Worth every penny. **★★★★★ — Jackie Blackett, Feb. 2021** > Benvenuti and Stein provided extraordinary white glove service and handled absolutely everything with our kitchen remodel. The team showed up every day and the entire project was completed on time with no hiccups or delays. We couldn't be happier with the thoughtfulness of the design, plus the quality of the woodwork and cabinetry is the best around. The precision of every piece of cabinetry is top-notch. We recommend them to everyone we know. Thank you! **Comment from Benvenuti and Stein:** > Thank you Jackie! We loved working with you and glad you enjoyed the renovation experience. We look forward to meeting any of your needs in the future. **★★★★★ — Mitch and Amy Greenwald, Sept. 2020** > We were looking to expand our back room so that we would have a more comfortable space to hang out with family and friends. Geno took one look and said that we did not need to expand, we just needed to rework what we had, something that we had never considered. We are in the final hours of finishing this project and the end result will knock your socks off! Geno had a vision from the very beginning and his team was able to execute it to perfection and there were no surprises along the way. We have a beautiful new space that has been expertly crafted. The project manager was fantastic. He did a great job managing everything while keeping us informed and the project moving smoothly. He always responded to our requests and concerns. On top of all of this the crews kept things as neat as possible and cleaned up after themselves daily. We cannot say enough great things about Benvenuti and Stein. We are glad that we trusted them with our project and they delivered something more wonderful that we could have dreamed of. **Comment from Benvenuti and Stein:** > Thank you Mitch & Amy- we have enjoyed working with you! **★★★★★ — Andrew and Nanci Agostini, Sept. 2020** > Our experience with Geno and the whole Benvenuiti and Stein team has been excellent. Starting with design and layout, moving on to execution and completion the entire process was a pleasure. We would definitely use them again for future projects. **Comment from Benvenuti and Stein:** > Thank You Andrew & Nanci- was a pleasure working with you! ## Selected projects - [Home Bar- Rec Room](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/home-bar-rec-room-pj-vj~7841144) - Location: Kenilworth, IL - Photos: 3 - Description: We designed this North Shore home bar-rec room to have a pub-like atmosphere.
