Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsMarch 26, 2018
“When you contact Platinum Touch, they will send people out who will be comfortable, concerned with your needs, and don’t make claims they cannot meet. As you go through the process, the people you meet will be professional and courteous. In the end, you have a well completed project.” We are very pleased with Platinum Touch. Vince listened on our first meeting and came back with what we asked, when we thought some more and the ability to express what I wanted and how we were going to use it, the designed adapted perfectly. The team was respectful of our budget and also of our needs as we stayed in our home during the construction process. There were no cost surprises or construction delays. The quality of the finished project is wonderful.”

Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsSeptember 24, 2012
“We built a new home with Kings Court Builders for the second time. Pete and his staff were great as always. I know that most people hate the process of building but we looked forward to each new phase of the build. Kings Court exceeded our already high expectations before during and after the build. If you are looking for a great home you can get that from many companies but if you are looking for the perfect home that is what Kings Court builds. Thanks to everyone at Kings Court!”

Rite Way Custom Homes
New & Custom Home Builders in Chicago
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJuly 9, 2014
“Rite Way created a beautiful and custom full bathroom on the first floor of our 100 year old home. The restroom was created from a useless small room in the rear of the house and is now one of the most beautiful rooms in the house. We were able to make every decision on finishes from start to finish and were extremely pleased with the end result. The work started at the height of the hottest summer on record and finished days before we returned home from the hospital with our first child. Everything was clean during the construction and the contractors were a joy to have in our home. There is not a single visitor that comes to our home that isn't overly impressed with the way the room turned out and we have not had a single issue with the workmanship or quality of the room. We will continue to use Rite Way for any renovation project in home, big or small, and cannot recommend them enough!”
