Philbin Construction & Remodeling

From start to finish, the attention to detail was impeccable! Matt, the owner, was a pleasure to work with, and his team were prompt, clean, and did this project exactly the way I wanted. High standards from me and so pleased with the end result. Will use them again for any other project I need. 15 years of projects and I have finally found a quality contractor.

Matt Philbin's crew just completed installing a new skylight in our 16 year old kitchen. The effect is excellent: exactly as we expected. The skylight opening is perfectly centered over an existing island, providing tons of light to an otherwise dark area. The skylight required connecting the house roof to the kitchen ceiling with a tunnel. At the tunnel's highest point, the wall is a bit over 9' from the kitchen ceiling - very dramatic! Photos can not do justice to the impact the skylight has in our kitchen. The skylight has experienced a downpour and a light snow without a drip. Philbin's crew - John and Chris - are conscientious craftsmen - involving us in all of the decisions and worked diligently to finish the project. Could not have asked for a better team. This is our second project with Philbin Construction and highly recommend Matt and his crews.

Matt did a fantastic job designing a beautiful kitchen remodel. Chris and Glenn made it happen and while having your home under construction is very stressful they were very respectful of our home and family trying to be as least disruptive as possible. I would certainly recommend this business to anyone looking to do a reno project.

First time remodel. Everyone at Philbin Construction was such a pleasure to work with. They made sure we were pleased with everything as they moved through the project, step by step. Their work is outstanding. Our master bath is so beautiful. We absolutely love it!! We are so happy that we chose Philbin Construction & Remodeling. Thanks Matt and crew.

When we decided to remodel our tiny kitchen, we were hoping to steal some additional space from our utility room, garage and possibly the adjoining dining room. While we couldn't use the dining room, he did convert the utility room and part of the garage to enlarge our kitchen. I wanted to keep our washer/dryer on the first floor. We also wanted an island or peninsula to eat at versus an eat-in dining area. He came up with a very clever solution by extending the counter space to create an island type space. In addition, on one wall he suggested a narrow china cabinet so we could display some antique china. We used the same flooring in the kitchen and dining room to allow the room to flow. People who have gutted their kitchens told us it would take 4-5 months. Matt told us our project would take 6-7 weeks, and he was spot on. Matt and his crew were terrific! Every night they would clean up their daily mess. They were super polite and extremely professional. I would not hesitate to recommend Philbin Construction for any project. We love our beautiful new kitchen! I feel we have a brand new house!

We remodeled a large portion of our house. The final product was excellent with one exception...a pocket door that did not function properly. We didn't immediately notice it but I called them about a month after the project finished and they came out and made it right. This company not only does a great job but they stay true to their word and make sure you are satisfied when it's all done. Highly recommended.

We have dealt with Philbin Construction & Remodeling since 1990 when we met Jack at a home show. He and his nephew Matt over the years have added a kitchen skylight, removed paneling & added 2 new windows in our family room. Added an exhaust fan in the master bathroom. Replaced windows in our basement/living & dining rooms, installed new outer doors, sidelight, & new screen doors. Replaced siding and had exteriors of wood windows aluminum wrapped. Designed & installed a composite deck and added some fencing to create separate areas for our greyhounds and the fosters. Also have used their services as handyman to secure a light fixture in my Mom’s flexicore ceiling at her condo and replace a garbage disposal. If there was ever any problem or question, I call Jack or Matt first and the situation always gets resolved quickly and happily. Their contracts are written in detail so there’s no question as to what/how the project will be staged, etc. Clean-up is never an issue with Philbin’s work crew. We have been thoroughly pleased with their work and the products they offer/use. We plan on using Philbin in the future as I will not use anyone else.

Philbin Construction was wonderful to work with. No major issues here. Bathroom was done in time, and communication with Matt Philbin was quick, professional, and friendly. We had A LOT of questions and concerns, and the staff - especially Matt, the owner, and Glenn, the man who did a lot of the work were accommodating and answered all of our questions. Glenn was at our home the most and really paid attention to detail - down to knob placement and any depth issues we might have wirh our cabinet knobs. Flooring looks great, and so happy with the shower - we used Choreograph by Kohler. We recommend to ask about this easy to clean shower wall material!

You get what you pay for, which is perfection from Phibin Construction and Remodeling Co. in Mokena, IL. Approximately 2.5 years ago, we hired Phibin Construction Company to remodel our Kitchen. We are still amazed by the outcome of the project. Our choice came from ongoing research on similar companies, and a recommendation from an extremely fussy friend. Matt provided us with great ideas and was very patient with us when working on the design. We were always able to get in touch with Matt anytime. His team was friendly, reliable and very professional. They were respectful and made sure there was no mess for us at the end of each work day. We felt completely at ease during the whole project. We did not worry at all with their workmanship, following codes, cutting corners, etc. Even two years later we were able to count on them to fix a small problem that any other company would have charged us for. You may pay a little more, but in the end, peace of mind and a great job go a long way.

After waiting over 25 years and being the last thing in the house to be redone, we undertook a kitchen remodel project. After doing due diligence in researching companies to deal with we contacted Philbin and Matt came out and met with us. From the first meeting until the day the job was completed working with Matt, getting his design and suggestions and the work crew of John, Glen, and John was nothing but a great experience. The attention to detail, knowledge, and ability of all members of the Philbin team made this project so much easier for us to get done. We added a few additional tasks to the project in our living room, and everything was completed beyond our expectations. I would not hesitate to use Philbin again in the future, I would recommend them to any family, friends, or neighbors (and have). To be able to find a reliable, trustworthy, extremely competent company to work with is harder and harder to find, especially with large projects involving a complete remodel. The Philbin team made it happen.

We have been working with Philbin Construction on various projects for about 10 years. We would not even consider using another company. They did a complete remodeling of our present home and flooring and other projects in our new home. Jack and his team are experienced, timely, and their cleanup is great. Jack is a professional who is proud of his work and that is reflected in everything his team does. Five stars is not enough!

Our kitchen remodel was not planned. Due to some unfortunate circumstances we ended up needing our kitchen redone. My past experience with contractors in previous remodels have been absolute nightmares. So needless to say I faced this experience with much trepidation. However, my experience with Philbin Construction was awesome! One of the biggest issues in any remodeling project is communication. Communication between myself and the team was great! I knew what was happening and when it was happening. I knew exactly what to expect. Any questions I had were welcomed. Anna was our designer and she did a wonderful job. Not only did she work with us in regards to the design and budget but she also anticipated potential problems. She had design suggestions that I had not initially thought about which was a tremendous help! John and Glenn who worked on my kitchen were wonderful too! Any problems or questions I had during the remodel, they were quick to answer and quickly fixed any issues that came up along the way. John and Glenn were also great at anticipating potential problems. More importantly, everyone I encountered at Philbin was kind and respectful and in a world like ours it is something I really appreciate! My kitchen turned out wonderful and it is the first time I can honestly say that I would definitely use Philbin again and I would recommend them to family and friends without hesitation.
