Glenview, IL Custom Home Professionals

“We worked with Jeremy Lew and his sons to design and build our home 15 years ago. They were very responsive to our suggestions and incorporated many of our ideas into the plan. They were efficient and we completed the project on time. It was a great experience.”

“I am in the process of building my 3rd home with the Reynolds Group, and am thrilled (once again!) with what they provide. Doug Reynolds is an exceptionally creative architect who is able to transform dreams into reality, and is very responsive to a client's needs and wishes. His Construction Manager is highly organized with a strong attention to detail, who has a natural instinct for helping select the perfect materials and products for the job, is very effective in making things happen, and is a delight to work with. His staff are all extremely professional, helpful, responsive, and really, really nice people. Their ability to meet deadlines and stay on budgets is excellent, and communication is superb. I recommend them highly!”

“Beth designed and oversaw the building of an addition to our house. It was important to us that the addition look like it was part of the original house, of the same quality and character. Beth was able to match the materials and design to the existing house and completed the job to our complete satisfaction. She was professional through and through, and a joy to work with. If something wasn't quite right, she insisted it be made right. When we asked for changes, she readily accommodated us. We are still enjoying our addition, and find surprise when we tell visitors to our home that this portion of the house was added 10 years after the original house was built. If we were to build another house or remodel an existing home, our first call would be to Beth. For our project, Beth was awarded the Excellence in Housing Design Gold Key Award for outstanding design by the Home Builders Association of Greater Chicago.”

“"I am writing this review about what started as a journey to find a contractor that was trustworthy and knowledgeable because I have had no experience in doing any remodels in the past. I was afraid I would find someone who would take advantage of that lack of knowledge. But then, I came upon New Explode Construction thanks to my new neighbor and took a chance. From first meeting with Sebastian, I knew I was going to be OK. He knew exactly how to articulate how it would look and the costs and was totally fair and open with me regarding what it would take to get this done. I was taking an old bathroom with a small shower that we were not able to use for our family and turned it into a dream bathroom custom fit to our family. In fact, that seemed to go behind their thoughts on everything that went into that bathroom which was nice to know they cared beyond it just being another job. Through the whole process they were available for any questions at any time of the day and always got back to me with answers. Sebastian's crew is very professional and all the crews working on a daily basis were so kind and nice. I am already asking them for estimates on new projects around the house and trying to save the money to get them back because their work and professionalism is incredible. I would highly recommend them for any work you have from the smallest things you have to pet projects, to whole home remodels. Sebastian is fully dedicated to his customers and business and puts his heart into his projects. Thanks again, New Explode Construction, for an awesome experience. You will for sure hear from us again."”

“We collaborated with Meyer Design for the interior design/decoration of a beautiful new home designed by their firm. They were consistently helpful providing us with floor plans, details and very knowledgeable, which helped us immensely when making field changes. Their help was crucial to provide the client with the best interior possible. They were always very professional and went out of their way to work on this project. They helped us meet deadlines and stay on budget. The home was (grand total) over 8,000 square feet that included a full finished basement.”

“They quickly designed and built the house of our dreams in just 6 months. I would recommend them to anyone looking to build or renovate their home.”

“My husband and I have used Arete Renovators on several occasions to remodel rental property and to remodel the master bathroom in our home. They were accessible throughout the projects and provided design recommendations, as needed. There was an open line of communications and the projects were completed within the timeline we discussed. We recommend Arete Renovators, Inc. to friends and family and we will use them again in the future.”

“I feel a little sorry for Joe and Core Remodel because we KINDA drove him crazy with changes and customization. Also, we did white tile with black grout which looks cool...but I do not recommend it. The tile has to be laid PERFECTLY, to look good. Fortunately, Joe has the right workers to do that and a lot more. The key to having a good experience with a contractor is communication. As a client, you have to carry your weight in that department. And everything we communicated to Joe was done and done well. We highly recommend Core Remodel for any job, even the annoyingly-difficult ones.”

“In August 2014, we decided to do a full remodel of our 70s kitchen. We hired Tranquility Builders of Oswego, IL We presented them with our design requirements and they improved upon them. Bev Totsch and her subcontractors were always on time and were respectful of our home. Everything was replaced and remodeled -- walls, ceilings, flooring, cabinetry, and appliances. We were told the project would take about five weeks and it did. The end results were stunning! Everyone who's seen our new kitchen has been very impressed. We highly recommend Tranquility Builders.”
