Top notch designers on staff. Fair pricing too. **★★★★★ — HU-459834330, Sept. 2021** > From the very first phone call made to OHI, we found a caring and committed partner. Cheryl was a warm and welcoming voice ...followed by a call from John in a short amount of time. He set an appointment to meet us and see what our needs might be. We needed to replace all our hardwood floors ....then moved on to replacements of our countertops..once we started the list seemed to grow and other items were added into the mix....Izabella was the talented designer who worked with us with a knowledgeable eye for color and sensibility....it was such a positive experience....our project manager was Jeff....he was so knowledgable and could figure out any tasks needed....we cannot sing the praises of this company enough! All workmen were scheduled through OHI --- everyone arrived as promised at an appointed time....the high quality workmanship was exceptional ......our selections were always considered within the budget we had set ....we never considered looking for another company once we met John and his talented "family"......we have already passed OHI on to several others knowing they will have the same positive experience we did.....OHI's attention to detail is unparalleled ......Lucky us!!!!!! THANK YOU OHI!!!!! **★★★★★ — Craig D Burda, July 2020** > OHI did a fantastic job on my kitchen. It turned out above and beyond my expectations. It was really great working with their team of professionals. Sarah was my design expert, and we worked together choosing everything from the cabinets, plumbing fixtures, wall tiles, and everything else. It was a very enjoyable experience. Jeff Kolota was my project manager, and he did a great job of coordinating. Every day when workers were done, he would call and let me know who was coming the next day, and what time they would arrive. All of their tradesmen were very professional, and did a very good job of cleaning up every day that they completed their job. All work was completed in the time frame I was given. I would highly recommend them for any of your home projects. **Comment from OHi - Our Home Improvement:** > Thank you for your kind words! We're so happy you had such a positive experience working with us! It was a pleasure working with you through out your kitchen remodel and we're glad you love your new space! Thank you for choosing to work with us! **★★★★★ — Robert DaPisa, Feb. 2020** > Our experience with the team at OHi was fantastic! They provided a level of professionalism that is rare in today's Home Improvement contractor world. Their Design team (Teri and Tammy) spent time with us to understand our tastes and requirements - then put together a beautiful plan that we were able to flesh out with countertops, tile and fixtures chosen directly from their showroom. Their project team, led by Project Manager Jeff and our primary Craftsmen Tom and Chris, started the very complex project when promised and completed it in 7 weeks. They were a very pro-active team and continuously identified ways to improve the project - going above and beyond our expectations. We came in on-time and on-budget! Highly recommended! **Comment from OHi - Our Home Improvement:** > Thank you so much for such a thoughtful review! We’re happy you love your kitchen; it looks absolutely beautiful! **★★★★★ — Lou & Winnie Makowski, Dec. 2019** > The entire OHi team was wonderful - professional, prompt, quality workmanship. Ben, the project manager ,checked progress daily and paid close attention to every detail. He was so very helpful! Tammy, our rep./designer, was outstanding. All her suggestions were right on target with what we envisioned and she was very patient while we sorted through decisions to be made. The wall color paint she suggested coordinated beautifully with the new counter tops and back splash. Our kitchen looks great! **Comment from OHi - Our Home Improvement:** > Thank you for reviewing us! We appreciate your kind words and we enjoyed working with you on your project! We look forward to the opportunity to work with you again and we hope you continue to love your kitchen for years to come! **★★★★★ — HU-760972062, June 2019** > OHi gutted and rebuilt the bathroom in my downtown Chicago condominium. They were attentive to my needs and delightful professionals to work with. They transformed a dark and dreary room into a bright, modern fabulous space. The tile work is absolutely beautiful, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. **Comment from OHi - Our Home Improvement:** > Thanks for taking the time to review us! We appreciate your kind words and we're so happy that you love your new bathroom! **★★★★★ — Susan Wilner, June 2019** > An excellent remodeling experience with OHI. Worked with Kim and John to design our Powder Room, Foyer, and Kitchen remodel and from start to finish everything was very professional. We liked the fact that they either used their own employees or contractors they have been working with for years to get the job done. Especially liked having a dedicated project manager (Ben) that oversaw all the scheduling. Their craftsmanship and attention to detail showed in every aspect of their work, as if they were remodeling their own home and wanted to be proud of the job. I recommend them without hesitation. **Comment from OHi - Our Home Improvement:** > Thank you for your kind and thoughtful words! We’re so happy that you had such a positive experience with us and we look forward to the opportunity to work with you again! Thanks! **★★★★★ — Anne H, June 2019** > I highly recommend OHI! The entire team is pleasant, professional and conscientious about each aspect of the project. Kim is a talented designer, who patiently guides you through each step. You can be confident that you made a good choice with OHI. **Comment from OHi - Our Home Improvement:** > Thank you so much! It was a pleasure working with you on your project! We hope you love your kitchen and bathrooms for years to come! **★★★★★ — Katie Cavanaugh, June 2019** > Great job . Love the new design. They listen to my needs and wants. Great help and support from Teri the designer to Jeff the project manager. Kept me informed of what was going on help me make decisions and choices. **Comment from OHi - Our Home Improvement:** > Thank you for the kind remarks! We hope your new space is everything you wanted and more! Thanks for taking the time to review us and we look forward to the opportunity to work with you again! **★★★★★ — Amy Etten, June 2019** > Working with Tammy at OHI was such a great experience. She helped me pick out our new counter tops and back splash for our newly designed kitchen. I came into OHI with no idea what to do and she was there to help out. She came to my house to make sure everything we picked out was the perfect match. I loved working with OHI so much they are back at my house redesigning our next project. **Comment from OHi - Our Home Improvement:** > Thank you for your loyalty to our OHi family and for your kind words! We enjoy working with you and we hope we can continue serving all of your home improvement needs! **★★★★★ — Lynda Utterback, June 2019** > After a beautiful kitchen remodel using OHI Remodeling, I contacted them again to remodel my bathroom. I could not be happier. Teri, my designer knew what I liked and helped me make every decision. Jeff Kolota, my project manager was with me every step of the way. He called me every night to let me know who was coming to the house the next day and what time they would be there. And he was constantly checking on the work that was done. The workmen cleaned up every day and let the job site as clean as possible during the renovation. Ray is fantastic, he is a very talented tradesman. I would not hesitate to recommend OHI Remodeling to anyone considering remodeling their home. **Comment from OHi - Our Home Improvement:** > Thank you! We’re grateful for your decision to continually choose us to work on your projects. You are such a pleasure to work with and we truly value the relationship we’ve developed. Thank you again! **★★★★★ — HU-378927102, June 2019** > I worked with Tammy from OHi on our kitchen remodel and I couldn’t be happier with the results! Tammy was great and so helpful through the entire process. I was a bit anxious about all the decisions going into the remodel, but Tammy made it easy and was amazing walking me through everything. Tammy and OHi helped me turn my dream kitchen into a reality and I would highly recommend their services to anyone! **Comment from OHi - Our Home Improvement:** > Thank you so much for taking the time to review us! We appreciate your thoughtful remarks and will pass them on to Tammy!
