R Brand, Inc.

After extensive research, numerous contractor quotes, and headaches from other companies, we are beyond thankful we chose R Brand, Inc. It was truly a pleasure to work so closely with the R Brand team of Rich, Lauren, and Geoff. They were friendly, professional, and made the stressful process of a simultaneous full basement and primary bathroom remodel fun! We definitely had ideas for our wants/needs for these two spaces, but Lauren's innovative design skills took our remodel to the next level and we absolutely LOVE IT. The construction aspect came with some challenges. Rich, Geoff, and the R Brand team always took proper care of surrounding areas not under construction, handled issues as they arose with care, and executed to get the job done properly the first time...not to mention very close to our expected timelines. I highly recommend R Brand, Inc. to my friends, family, neighbors, and strangers...I would not hesitate to call them again and again for my home remodel needs.

This review is long over due..R Brand, Inc and specially LAUREN ERICK with whom I dealt with exclusively renovated 2 town houses that I owned In Tinley Park Il, before I sold them in the Brookside Glen Development. The 1st house was at 7725 Richardson Lane was a house of horrors after the renters who rented the property for 5 years DESTROYED IT! It was necessary to send in a hazmat crew before any renovations could begin to give you an idea of what we had to work with. I know that without Lauren Erick these 2 renovations could HAVE NEVER BEEN COMPLETED. Lauren's leadership, experience, and expertise was an invaluable part of this process. Lauren was constantly driving the process forward while very patiently explaining to me where we were on the time line, and constantly making recommendations..where the budget was, what was necessary and more importantly what WAS NOT necessary. For example...putting hardwood from the 1st floor on the stairs to the 2nd floor..."just put in carpeting..it will flow better to the 2nd floor that is carpeted...thats 2000-4000 dollars you do not need to spend" I learned very quickly that Lauren with her experience in these matters is to be listened to ALWAYS. The 2nd house that was renovated was at 8661 Ballycastle which needed significantly less improvements..however it was tight schedule that she made work so that everything was done in time for the listing Now, I haven' t even gotten around to telling you the good part yet. I HAVE NEVER MET LAUREN ERICK. I have never set foot in these properties. I don't even live in the USA. I live in Europe... all of our discussions were over the phone and whatsapp. I did ALL of this from Europe. NOW this is a testament to Lauren Erick's communication skills, and her ability to frame in your mind how the project IS going to look..what works what does not work... I self admittedly have zero visualization skills so I relied solely on her visual interpretation . Thanks Again Lauren Erick and Thank you to your Colleagues at R BRAND Inc, for the incredible job that you folks did for me. And if you read this and talk to R Brand .. Tell them Greg sent you!!

Our new bathroom is AMAZING! Lauren, Rich, Jeff, Steve and all the other members of their team were great to work with. They enlarged our bathroom which involved pushing into the closet of the master bedroom, re-routing plumbing, electrical, moving doors, building a new master bedroom closet, and my other challenges (including removing mirrors from every wall, even the ceiling!). We now have a beautiful bathroom that is twice the size and a gorgeous master bedroom. Everyone was professional, yet always added humor to any adversities they were met with! They were very knowledgeable, precise, and always willing to answer our many questions. Most of all they were friendly and a pleasure to have around for several weeks! We can't speak highly enough about the R Brand crew and recommend them for any remodel job you may have! Thank you so much, R Brand. Don & Norene

Love working in my kitchen now, and having a laundry room. No regrets hiring the R Brand crew to do the remodel and add the laundry room. They worked hard and did a great job. Everyone was friendly, easy to work with, and good about making changes or addressing concerns. Quality work at a fair price, I would recommend them.

They put new kitchen cabinets in my house and also installed a walk in shower. This is a great company to deal with I give them A+++++++++++

My new window opening and window replacement project was completed as expected. R Brand was responsive and a pleasure to work with throughout permitting and installation process.

Dave, Mike and the R Brand team were so wonderful to work with. They remodeled our bathrooms and laundry room. The end product is so beautiful and better than we dreamed! From beginning to end, they were easy to work with and helped guide us seamlessly through the process. The design services really helped us immensely. We were able to visualize what the finished rooms would look like. They turned out even better! The team was kind and always careful to keep our living space clean. We would highly recommend them and would definitely use them again for our next remodel project! Thank you all for an amazing job! Our friends and family compliment regularly on our new spaces :)

We couldn't be more pleased with R. Brand. Over the past 25 years we have dealt with several contractors for several renovations and upgrades. We have never felt more at ease with the competence, professionalism and customer attention than with this contractor. There was never a moment when we didn't have full access to Brand from estimate to completion. Mike was excellent! He was on-site every day when needed. We didn't have to second guess anything. We never felt like nothing was happening or that we were left in a lurch. Each sub-contractor they hired was polite, clean, attentive and industrious. Really, we were blown away by the professionalism all around. R. Brand, Inc. can be trusted to do what they say they will do and the quality of work was never in question.

The Rbrand team did a basement renovation project that fully renovated a raw concrete basement into a large family space with bathroom and closet. The team was fantastic to work with and I would recommend them to anyone. We had a lot of changes and specifications, but they were always easy to talk things through and flexible. We opted to do a 203k renovation loan; these are fairly annoying and tedious paperwork-wise. But, Rbrand was extremely helpful throughout. All members of their team were courteous and always helpful as well. We are very happy with their work and our new basement.

R Brand remodeled my kitchen they did a Great job. Wonderful to work with. Always on time. Professional attitudes and respectful of your home.

R Brand completed by master bath and did an amazing job. The project was completed on budget and with attention to detail. All the guys working on this project were professional, helpful and focused. Remodeling is stressful to say the least, but I knew I could count on Mike at R Brand to get things done and get them done right. He was exceptional at anticipating construction issues and nipping them in the bud...I was never surprised. I would not hesitate to hire this company again. Thanks R Brand I love my new master bath!

We hired R Brand for a major renovation of our recently purchased home and could not be happier with the result. Mike and Dave made the entire process comfortable for us. We initially hired R Brand to remodel the kitchen, master bath and hall bath. The project also included adding a powder room from previously unused space in the foyer. As the work proceeded and we saw the craftsmanship, the project grew to include a remodel of the basement. We were amazed by how quickly the work was done. The only delays were caused by our adding to the project. At the beginning, R Brand supplied us with a list of preferred vendors. While we were not required to use the preferred vendors, we are glad that we did. The vendors provided good ideas, service and prices. The R Brand crew and subcontractors were all talented, polite and kept a clean job site. Very enjoyable experience. Keep getting compliments on house nice our home looks.
