PKPG Companies

The old adage "treat people as you would want to be treated" played very well in our demolition and reconstruction of our home. At every step of the way PKPG was 100% proactive in guiding us through the process. And any time I had a random question ~ they generally responded within minutes. The process is daunting ~ but PKPG made it an exciting adventure and we are SO pleased with the results.

When I began planning my project of completely redesigning my 2 restaurant's and creating 3 in the same space at the same address everyone said I was crazy. Until I met and sat with Kristin and Peter from PKPG Companies. The very first time I met them at my then Restaurant Michael in Winnetka, Peter immediately and without hesitation, began pointing out solutions to every problem I already knew would pop up. I knew almost instantly, that I would have another meeting with them as he offered this information with no strings and without question of my motives. The mutual trust was instant. 2 meetings later, I signed the contract and it was the best professional decision I have ever made. Not only have they delivered 3 COMPLETELY different concepts from what I once had, they did so under budget and 3 days ahead of schedule. It was simply amazing to see it unfold. Peter never lost focus, Kristin guided all of the purchasing with my designer and kept us under budget without one single compromise. Bryan, their project manager was a logistics marvel and Daniel, who as I have come to learn is a master carpenter never flinched in the face of a ridiculously short time line. Every single sub contractor was a true pro and made their craft look like effortless art. They all worked lockstep with me and the village and never missed a step. There is not enough I can say to reccomend this company with the proper accolades to do them justice. You will not find finer people or a more finely tuned and professional team that PKPG. The proof is in the pudding. Come and see their work. It speaks better of them then I possibly could. An amazing experience across the board!

We have worked with PKPG twice now – once 8 years ago to completely renovate the first floor of our home (new kitchen, new powder room, knocked down walls – the whole nine yards), and for the second time this past fall to gut three upstairs bathrooms. Peter, Kristen, Brian and the entire PKPG team were a pleasure to work with. These guys are consummate pros – they showed up on time, they left our house clean and they got stuff done when they said it would be done. Peter even designed the layouts for our kitchen and bathrooms. The best part was they finished both projects under budget. And they were so open and transparent with pricing. Kristen walked us through options for all the finishes so we could go a little nicer here, save a little money there, and basically feel in control of the entire process. We were truly blown away by the end result. Highly recommend!

Pete and Kristen and their whole team were a pleasure to work with during our extensive basement and master bedroom remodel. They tackled issues effortlessly and provided much-needed input throughout the whole process. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend PKPG to anyone seeking a major remodel!

After interviewing more than 5 different developers, my wife and I decided to go with PKPG due to the patience and knowledge that was shown to us through the interviewing process. The entire team was a joy to work with and we learned so much from each of them. Pete, Kristen, Brian, and Daniel worked extremely hard with us to ensure our satisfaction towards the end result of our dream home. Not only is their work beautiful, the style of PKPG homes is extremely unique and creative to what their clients want. In addition, PKPG met every deadline from start to finish and we were able to celebrate both of our Birthdays in our beautiful new home. We definitely recommend PKPG to anyone who is thinking of building their dream home! -Sharbel and Donna

PKPG completed a home renovation project for us and their work was exceptional. We receive compliments from guests all of the time and they ask us who did the work. They were very easy to work with and accommodating when we had requests. The project was completed within the time frame and budget that was initially provided to us. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for residential construction or remodeling.

True experts in the field! Pete and Kristen took care of everything. Their knowledge, attention to detail, and constant communication gave us a peace of mind and confidence in the process. Thank you for making dreams come true!

Pete Canalia and all the people associated with PKPG companies are outstanding in all aspects of general contracting and building. His "subs" are of the highest quality, their work is timely and well planned. I have used many contractors for many projects in my life and I would put PKPG in the upper 1 per cent of all contractors I have used

If you are considering building your own home, you need to have a conversation with PKPG or you are truly doing yourself a disservice. We completed and closed on our home from PKPG in early 2017. Pete and Kristen did an amazing job and were absolutely incredible to work with. They made picking out finishes extremely easy and offered excellent advice throughout the entire process. Every home builder should take a page out of their book when it comes to attention to detail, fair dealing, and level of craftsmanship. They are more than just builders--they are artists.

I am an interior designer and have worked with PKPG in a couple of projects. I was very impressed with their professionalism, attention to detail and great sense of design. They always bring great ideas to their projects, making each project very unique. I highly reccomend Pete and Kristen not only for their amazing work, but also for their honesty and great Customer Service. If you choose to work with PKPG you will be in amazing hands!

Peter and Daniel and everyone at PKPG Companies were great to work with. They answered all of our many questions throughout the process of our addition/remodel. The job was done ahead of schedule, which was greatly appreciated. The cost was worth it and what we had budgeted for, and we are enjoying the great quality of the craftsmanship on a daily basis!

PKPG is very easy to work with - from the owners, the office personnel, even the project managers. They are very hands on in all their projects and communicate very well. I have been their plumbing sales rep for a couple of years now and they are an absolute pleasure.
