My husband and I were looking to get 2 bathrooms in our home remodeled. I called Chi Renovation and Design and was informed that due to address it's too far and Chi Renovation goes as far as Chinatown. I was a bit confused because that location is south which is the opposite of north and further from west. So I noticed that Chi Renovation service a town directly across the street from where I live but not my location.

I asked why. Needless to say, he couldn't answer it. Chi Renovation then informed me that he was googling my zip code and it says that I'm an hour away and plus I don't live near an expressway. I assured this guy, it's saying that due to rush hour and I live 1 block from the expressway. Look, I have a physician in Skokie and it has never taken me an hour to get to the physician office. Chi Renovation pretty much told me that based on my zip code, it's pretty much not worth it. I'm thinking to myself, I'm getting 2 bathroom renovated and it's not worth the thousands of dollars you'll be getting?

I believe it was due to my zip code because he mentioned it a few times during our conversation. I feel as though Chi Renovation was being discriminatory and I was being judged based on my zip code.

I'm out shopping for kitchen cabinets and I decided to come to chi renovations to get my project started. I drove over to the store after work to get something started at 5:00pm just to find out that they closed their store early. They have a small sign on the door that read by appointment only. I believe this is bad for business. They should update their website with the correct hours and or add that hours vary daily to google and the business website. Some kind of business! If it says they close at 6 they should leave at 6

Had a great experience working with Chi Renovation. I wanted to remodel my kitchen but wanted to go really modern and do something different. After years of having a white kitchen, I wanted a black kitchen with wood tones. We struggled to find a contractor that would listen to our ideas or a contractor that provided great design ideas when we couldn't articulate what we wanted. Ana was great at designing our kitchen and maximizing the layout.

Our project manager Gene was very detailed oriented and was present throughout the project. If I had questions or concerns he made sure to address all of them so that I could be happy with the kitchen. Gene and his team made sure to put so much attention to detail to things I didn't even think about like matching the outlets to all the different colors that we had through the kitchen.

The amount of storage that we have now because of the cabinet and drawer options they provided is crazy. All the cabinets are aligned correctly, all the outlets are up to code and they managed to get us an island that was larger than the one we had previously. If you are looking to renovate your kitchen and want superior service, please go to Chi Renovation.

I can cannot express how satisfied I am with my kitchen, especially when I compare it to the previous kitchen that was in my home. It was the basic white flip kitchen that had drawers that didn't align properly and had little to no storage.

We worked with Ariana on design and Gene as our project manager to redo our master bath. Every step of the process was great! We were impressed with the design, and especially impressed with the ease of communications with Gene. It took longer than expected because of supply chain issues, but Chi Renovation kept us updated and worked with our schedule. I would definitely recommend them and use them again!

The team fully remodeled my primary and guest bathrooms and completed some other lighting, fireplace, and flooring work in the main living area of my condo. High degree of professionalism from start to finish with everyone I worked with - in particular Ariana on design and Gene leading the construction. Thanks to the design work my spaces not only look much better but are more functional as well.

The only challenge was the long lead time on materials which caused a long wait between design and construction phases but that was outside of the team's control and was ultimately worth the wait. I'd definitely recommend.

Out of all the places I reached out, Chi Renovation reached back out to me the quickest and had great communication. Although I did not ultimately end up using them, I received very great and timely service from Dorian when I called them. Would definitely recommend to others looking to do a full bathroom remodel.

Gene, Lior, and their team were amazing! We had multiple contractors ghost us for structural work in our basement (replacement of wooden beam and posts with steel). The team did EVERYTHING for us - from the architectural drawings, to Chicago city permits, to the work. Their estimate was exactly what we paid, and their timeline was correct. The thing that stood out the most was their responsiveness.

We asked a lot of questions and Lior and Gene always responded right away with clear answers to all of our questions. I have and will continue to recommend Chi Renovation and Design!

We finally got the gaping hole patched that Ron Lifshitz and Chi Renovation left by our master bathroom vanity. This was supposed to be an 'access panel' to our steam shower motor but it extended way below the top of the vanity. No planning or measuring as per usual for Chi Renovation. The contractor we hired to do the work correctly, had to remove wall baseboards, disconnect vanity plumbing and slide the master bath double sink vanity out to patch the 4 foot by 2 foot hole they left.

Just egregious negligence from this company. The inch of caulk above the crown molding in our kitchen from their uneven dry wall work is already separating. Please go elsewhere if you want any work done even mediocre.

My wife and I were looking for a bathroom remodel from a jacuzzi tub that took up 3/4s of our main bathroom, to a walk in shower. We wanted something done with a reasonable budget, professionally, and timely. Chi Renovation was our solution. Toufic helped us find the perfect design and worked with us every step of the way, making life easier for two working professionals on the go.

Gene ran the operation professionally, walked me through any questions I had, addressed all my concerns, and ran a top notch team throughout the process. He hit the budget and the time frame that was promised as well as making sure the project was built on solid foundations. I cannot recommend the company, Toufic, or Gene highly enough. This is a great company who works with very amazing people. No issues and would definitely call them when we need another project completed.

I am giving a review strictly on their customer service since my home was not in their service area. They responded within 24 hours to my inquiry on home design for basement. Dorian was kind and super helpful by finding me alternate home design companies that serviced my area. If their customer service is indicator on how their actual home design service is, then you are in good hands.

Over the last two years, Chi Renovation has helped us transform our home. We have had two large projects managed and delivered by Chi. We gutted three bathrooms (primary, on suite, guest), refinished our kitchen cabinets, changed all the kitchen stone work, added a second island, removed a wall and re-tiled our front porch. The work completed by Chi was excellent and definitely met our expectations.

Our project manager, Tom, was excellent to work with. He spent hours with us going over design choices, explaining engineering elements, providing examples of similar work and helping us throughout both projects. Our first project with Chi started during the pandemic. We gutted our guest bathroom and made kitchen upgrades (including replacing counters, backsplashes, and fixtures). Tom helped us through all the major decisions and the end results were excellent.

In February 2021, (after the epic Chicago snow storm), our kitchen ceiling collapsed from water damage. This event kicked off the second project with Chi. First off, Tom and Chi were with us every step of the way to help with stopping the water leak, remediating the problem and then ultimately incorporating fixing our kitchen along with additional work in our second project (two bathrooms, kitchen, front porch).

It is extremely hard to know who to trust in the contracting business. Before working with Chi, we talked to friends and reviewed multiple websites. We ultimately picked Chi Renovation because their online reviews were great (and specific) and our first walkthrough with Tom to discuss our potential project was impressive. He was thorough, had great ideas and really cared about what changes/work would add value versus what would not.

After two large projects, multiple accomplishments, countless changes and obstacles, we are beyond happy with the outcome and work delivered. Chi was professional, clear, consistent and honest form start to finish. We would not hesitate using Chi again and/or recommending them to our family and friends.

After living in our Uptown condo for 5 years, and being forced to stare at the same construction grade finishes in our bathrooms during this pandemic, my husband and I decided we needed an upgrade. We did extensive research and after several quotes from a variety of firms, Chi was the winner. Julie and Gene were dreams to work with. All we knew going into it was that we wanted a spa like but masculine bathroom, but the designs Julie created for us were beyond anything we had ever imagined.

This was one of the main reasons we went with an all-in-one firm. While our design aesthetic is good, we really wanted something that made visitors know that a professional was involved. Julie and Gene listened to all of our requests, helped us trim costs where possible, and also helped us push ourselves out of our comfort zone. The results were better than we could ever have hoped.

Not to mention the quality of the work, Marek's attention to detail was spectacular. Ever finish was perfectly placed down to the smallest tile and run of trim. Can't wait to work with Chi Reno for our next project!

We loved working with chi Renovation! The design process was easy and working with Ron on the project was great. He was kind, responsive and went above and beyond to make sure the project went smoothly for us. We are planning on redoing our bathrooms next and will definitely be using them again.

I am a new resident to the area and wanted to do some minor work on our place. Had the pleasure of speaking to Dorian who explained that they specialize if full demo/remodel and design and I might be more interested in a more general handy man. He then proceed to send me a list of recommendations that I should use and that I might find helpful! Even though I did not use them now, I appreciate him taking that extra step to make sure I still got the help I needed! Till my next remodel Chi Renovation!

CHI Renovation made sure our project was well managed, on time, and executed with attention to detail. I cannot imagine taking on a project of this magnitude without their expertise and project management. Ron, our project manager, oversaw every detail and sub and material shipment.the list goes on. We are so pleased with our new kitchen and first floor - it was a total transformation. Highly recommend!

Tom Tishby who was the Project Manager and led the crew of the Chi Renovation and Design on our project involving complete remodel of our kitchen and the powder room have done an outstanding job. Our kitchen remodel project involved removal of the wall to open up the galley kitchen, this required rerouting of the water pipes and installing new plumbing and wiring system.

The crew worked efficiently they were very professional and neat while we were living in the apartment during the construction. The products of their work were outstanding in quality and precision. They met all the deadlines and provided courteous service. Communication was excellent throughout the project. Another important factors is that the crew and Tom Tishby in particular worked really well with our building engineer and manager making sure all the paperwork was an order the use of the service elevator and disposal was done according to building policies. Overall I'm very pleased with Tom Tishby and Chi Renovation and Design and would to continue working with them again on our future remodeling projects.

They are timely, considerate, satisfactory professional. They are very connected with all the retail outlets around town that helped us pick out our quality fixtures and tiles.

I called Chi Renovation today about a potential kitchen remodel. I spoke with Anna who I never would have guessed was new! She was super informative about the whole process and handled herself professionally. Unfortunately, the services were out of my price range, but Anna sent over some great referrals that I am reaching out to now! Very refreshing to be offered help even though I wasn't going to work with them.

Just completed a kitchen remodel with Chi Renovation and am very pleased with the results. The team was friendly, professional and worked hard to keep communication and schedules flowing throughout the pandemic. Mishneeta was calm, gracious and flexible, willing to work with my design ideas. Eric coordinated the construction team well and was skilled in assessing issues before I noticed them.

He was always upbeat, respectful, understanding and ever-available (texts throughout the weekends and at night). He arranged for refunds on extra material and went above and beyond to ensure that loose ends were tied up to my complete satisfaction. He made what can be an arduous process very positive. Thumbs up to Chi Renovation!

Tom Tishbey was my PM and he went above and beyond for me helping me navigate through my insurance claim. I was out of town and he helped me by sending pictures and videos. His perspective and ideas were always accurate. He personally oversees your project and quickly fixes things and has solutions. He takes great pride in his work and it shows! My only hope is that CHI will one day have itemized bills that make it easier for consumers to see what they are paying for. I would use Tom again and again!

I wanted to share my experience working with Chi Renovations. The process was extremely easy and I am completely thrilled with the final product! I worked with Tania to design a fireplace that would fit a tight space. We have a hidden door closet we needed to be mindful of, so she shared a few general designs with me. She then created a custom fireplace surround to fit the space and my design ideas perfectly. Eric, the project manager, was also wonderful to work with - always responded in a timely manner and was eager to resolve any issues. Eric also made some great design suggestions that we did end up implementing into the fireplace surround.

The work was completed in a timely manner and workers were careful to clean the space throughout the process. I did have them come back to do a few little touchups that were missed but they quickly resolved any concerns I had. Overall, I couldn't be happier with the end results!

Dorian took my call when I was inquiring about what types of services our project needed. He took the time to understand our needs and advised us accordingly. His willingness to help and candor were great. Even though we didn't go with them, since we likely just need a general contractor, we would definitely give them a call again for future needs.

I'm not in the service area, but Dorian was very sweet about helping me find someone to do my laundry room renovation job. I live in an underserved neighborhood of Chicago. South Shore, 60649, 7th and 5th Wards. An area struggling to bootstrap itself out of a food desert among other scarcities. I can see signs that it is finally turning around, but it's a slow climb.

Just finished renovating my guest bathroom with Chi Renovation and had a great experience. I worked with Tanya (designer) and Eric (project manager) and both were great. We had some hiccups due to COVID-related delays and I appreciated that both of them stayed on top of it. What I liked most was that when the one or two minor things went wrong Eric made it right before I could even mention it.

One reason I chose them is that they have experience working in high-rise buildings and this is important as there are restrictions on noise, work hours, elevators, etc and they were well aware of all of this and worked within the parameters so that I had no complaints from my building or my neighbors. Would definitely use them again.

We worked with CHI renovations on a major kitchen remodel and we are very happy with the result. To give you an idea of the scope of the project, we had to remove walls, reroute a main water line pipe, completely redo electrical, reroute HVAC, extending a ceiling, building an island, . basically a complete gut and remodel. The whole process took about three months and the demo with remodeling taking roughly 1 and 1/2 months.

We first met up with the kitchen designer Mishneeta Chopra where we were asked to provide examples of kitchens that we really like. We really appreciate Mishneeta coming up with multiple designs that exceeded our expectations because we have not idea what kind of kitchen we wanted. Mishneeta also helped us with material selections and provided suggestions on what goes well with the design.

Another huge reason we went with Chi Renovation was that we did not want the hassle of finding, hiring, and managing contractors. Our project manager Gene made sure the process was as smooth as possible. From bringing in the demo crew, plumbers, electricians, carpenter, painter.etc, all of these things were handled by him. I can't imagine how difficult it would have been to have to deal with this stuff ourselves.

It was also nice that Gene also inspected the work that was done by contractors and made sure it was done correctly and to our liking. The only minor complaint is we would have liked more communication on contractor scheduling. For example, it would have been nice to get a weekly schedule instead of just a few days notice. It ended up working out well because we worked from home the whole time, but I could maybe see this being a potential issue for those that do not have that option. Overall, we would definitely recommend CHI renovations (and already have to family and friends!).

We looked at many other places that could have been a little cheaper but no way it would have been the same quality. You do not want buyers remorse to save a few bucks when doing any extensive remodel.

I rated Chi Renovation 5 stars because of their quality services, especially for their project Manager Eric. Our project include redo bathroom, kitchen, floors, ceilings and painting. Eric is on top of things and he is very professional and responsible. Even three months after completion of our project, we had some issues for a light bulb and bathroom drain cover due to the quality of the product. Eric and his team showed up and resolve everything. This team is the one you can trust and depend on. Dorian is also very helpful. He is very nice and patient to make sure we are satisfied with everything. 5 stars indeed.

Dorian was a big help with advice on project scope and options for multiple renovation projects I've been considering. The phone consultation was easy and informative. I haven't selected a contractor yet, but I'd definitely recommend reaching out to Chi Renovation and Design if you're trying to narrow down options in your area.

I originally found this company on Yelp and reached out based on their great reviews. I worked with Dorian who was responsive (which is hard to come by in this industry) and extremely helpful! We didn't end up working with Chi Reno & Design because it didn't make sense for our small project, but Dorian was quick to recommend a few other companies that he thought would be a good match.

As someone who is navigating house projects without a contractor and working with one unresponsive company after another, it was refreshing to work with someone that actually follows up!

We did a major kitchen renovation with Chi Renovation and couldn't be happier with the results. It was awesome to have all the support in one place - designer, project manager, etc. They really helped us stay on track and managed every aspect of the construction process, which was amazing as busy working parents. We appreciated their attention to detail, especially Ron, our project manager. Unexpected challenges always come up, especially in an older house like ours, and we were always able to work out a solution together. We absolutely love our space and it has changed how we live in our house. Highly recommend!

We worked with CHI Renovations on a gut kitchen remodel that was really complicated, to say the least. We relocated the HVAC system, did extensive electrical work, reconfigured the space completely, and much more. We had many challenges with our project, from an old house, to a hard deadline with a new baby arriving, and doing some of the design remotely - because of this, we are SO glad we went with CHI Renovations. Ron was our project manager and his experience ensured our project was overseen with the utmost care and an eye to detail. Ron really is a seasoned professional who oversaw every step of construction and I truly cannot imagine taking on a project of this magnitude without him. We could not be happier with our new kitchen and the way it has transformed our house. I have recommended CHI Renovations to several friends and will continue to do so!

I left a voicemail in the morning and got a call back before it struck noon. I spoke with Dorian who was very helpful, nice, conversational and knew his stuff. They do more full renovations while I just need some tile laid, but he gave me a ball park number and still offered to come out and look at it. Highly recommend starting your search with Chi Renovation & Design.

This is egregious behaviour from Lior Ben Zur and Chi Renovation. They had their lawyer contact us to request to talk to an attorney representing us. We had a lawyer contact them to see why they were so in need to 'VERBALLY TALK TO US' and not respond to the better business bureau, the illinois att general, the FTC, etc. Here is the response sent attached in images.

They did not sign it, which makes me suspicious of who these people are and are they legal citizens or is their a warrant out for them. They did not put this on Chi Renovation letterhead. Why would a business be so squirrely to NOT have their names out or their communications with clients after they took $240,000 and did not complete work. The first item on their lawyer delivered response is about a countertop.

They were not installing a countertop or a backsplash, but they thought we should pay them $3600 as if they were. After all of the shoddy work they smeared through my condo, did they think I would pay them more money to not complete a project? They have not completed any room, but I am to continue paying into this abusive con in hopes that maybe this time they will actually would give me my money's worth.

They actually stated they were NOT responsible for installing my appliances and claimed that I would have them install broken equipment. If I pay you the amount of the average home in Skokie to rehab a condo, why would I have them install nonworking items. Why would they remove my appliances, rehab my kitchen and laundry room (both poorly) then leave the appliances in the middle of my office and dining rooms FOR ME TO INSTALL?

I thought it was strange that Ran Liifshitz said tbat ABT installs their appliances and they did not know how. Tom Tishbey hosed me on that $30,000 supplemental contract with adding wiring for window blinds in each room, then Ran Lifshitz claims this electrical is hidden in the walls, with no access panel to it. How stupid do they think we are? They claimed that shower doors were not included in the contract.

I am at fault to think that every detail Tom and I extensively emailed about that if that was not in the contract, this was on purpose. They cannot clearly even install shower doors since the tub door was installed wrong and both shower doors were either too tall or too short. Lior Ben Zur or whoever wrote this response, is not even familiar with the brand Lutro.

He spells it wrong repeatedly. This is someone that has represent as a high end design build firm. Anyone with any peripheral familiarity of design knows what Lutron is. They state that I am requesting high end switches and outlets. I am requesting they replace the ones that were stolen. Along with my missing track light, there is extensive emails that I tell them these things are missing ad ask for replacement or compensation.

They do neither. I have never had such a difficult time when I have spent $240,000 and customer service is this onerous when the company is so clearly negligent. Please check out the REQUESTS FOR ME AS THE FULLY PAID CUSTOMER to get them back in to complete their contractual obligations, which I know they are incapable of doing. They say, -Remove cameras from my private home ( after items have clearly bern stolen and damaged)--remove their names from my reviews ( seems ok for the paid 5 star reviews to use their names) - don't contact them- allow any and all people that work for chi access to my home ( after items have clearly been stolen and damaged) Do not ever hire these people.

Most expensive mistake and worst home repair work I have ever had to the tune of $240,000. The project is still unfinished after a year and the project coordinator, Ron Lifshitz ( I spose this is his title) just quit. He was essentially worthless, but somewhat better than the prior coordinator, Tom Tishby. Both kept just pushing me to start the next project so that they can collect money.

They had no desire to finish any project or make sure the project was done to your specifications. It was so insulting. Every time you complained, they would claim it was your fault that your items were stolen or that they just sent workers to your house twice a week. This is a hiring company for smaller contractors. They were bullies and threatened to stop sending workers every time I tried to hold them accountable. Ron tried to prevent me from moving back into my home because I asked him to get my bathrooms functioning that they started in August and were fully paid for.

They messed my laundry room up completely. I can't even fit my washer/ dryer, side by side or stacked! Their last shakedown was waiting for $3,000 FOR A BACKSPLASH installation! They were not even installing backsplash or buying the tile. i am getting a stone slab with my countertop and they think they should still get paid. They tried to force me to PAY THEM to install a temporary countertop, for 4,000 so that they get the backsplash payment.

They still had not finished painting, bathrooms or anything in the project, but they were trying to squeeze $7,000 more dollars from me before they disappear. Neither Ron Lifshitz or TomTishby are trained designers or contractors. They are just salespeople for Bellmont cabinets, Chi Renovation storage and design services. They are certainly not collaborative.

They are very rigid and every small change would push Tom Tishby to the "change work order" board to charge you 3,000+. Never remove anything from the contract, that cost nothing, but additions start at $3,000. About a month before the project started, Tom kept suggesting ideas to keep padding the bill. It took them months to demolish the unit, and once Tom got $30,000 more for changes, 4 months after demo started, they started building poorly.

They send laborers that do work the best that they can with no direction or oversight. Chi Renovation quotes you prices that are so egregious that they should include all materials, but they don't. They damage and steal the materials you buy and then try to con you out of more money to make it right. Then they try to bully you to silence you. Their malfeasance will be investigated.

I have not used Chi Renovation's services but only because their services just didn't make sense for the small size of my project. However, Dorian was extremely helpful along the way and ultimately, he provided me with a number of names/contacts for contractors who have good reputations and would be able to service my project. That extra mile was appreciated - thanks!

Spoke with Dorian about my project and quickly determined it wasn't a job for them based on the scope of work, but he offered to send me referrals that would be a better fit and sent them to me promptly. He was very pleasant and professional throughout our call. If I have a more suitable project in the future I will definitely reach back out!

We did a fairly major project with Chi Reno recently. Kitchen gut, railings, powder room, fireplace and TV nook. We were really pleased with all aspects of the project from design with Mishneeta to execution with Eric. Mishneeta was helpful and thoughtful in the design process. Understanding our asthetic first and then suggesting options to help us zoom in on final choices.

Never pressuring but always ready to help guide us when needed. A really pleasant person to work with, as well. As we moved into construction/execution, Eric become our best ally. As anyone in construction knows, there are always adjustments/changes that have to be made to original plans. Or simply unexpected challenges that might pop up. ie....wait..there's a STACK running in that part of the wall that we want to move???

As project manger, Eric was ready to suggest options and solutions and always kept a steady hand on the progress, keeping us well informed of the next steps. Additionally, Eric was always bringing a critical eye to the work being done and ensuring the crew course corrected as needed. Bottom line is we are happy with all aspects of the project and would definitely recommend Chi Reno.

This was our first renovation and to say we were nervous after hearing stories from family and friends is an understatement. Our master bath was the original bath from 1956 and it showed. Lien our designer could sense our apprehension and walked us through every step of the consultation and design process and helped ease our anxiety. Ron, the PM and our contractor were very communicative and kept us informed of every step of the process.

The finished product is beyond our expectations. We now have a modern bathroom that is stylish, efficient and a sanctuary. We'll definitely use Chi Renovation and Design again for our next project.

I want to preface this by saying I did not use them for my kitchen remodel, but only because their specialty is gut rehabs and I'm just looking for a minor facelift. But their level of professionalism and service makes me wish I was doing more! Dorian responded to my inquiry almost immediately and when he realized that they weren't the best fit for me he went out of his way to email me names of other companies who would be better suited to my needs. I can only imagine the kind of service they give to their clients. Thanks, Dorian!

My wife and I hired Chi Renovation to renovate our kitchen and we could not recommend them highly enough. We were expecting a baby and were on a tighter time frame to complete our kitchen project before our son was born. We interviewed a few different companies and Chi Renovation was the one that listened to our concerns and said they could complete the project within our timeline.

In fact the other companies said they would have trouble completing everything by the end of October when Chi Renovation said they could by the mid-September (and they delivered). Every step of the way they continued to listen to our thoughts. Our project manager Ron discussed every step along the way and provided reasons why they were doing what they were doing, which gave my wife and I a lot of piece of mind.

Also the contractors that came in were amazing. Extremely courteous, and we were shocked at how fast they were able to complete everything with the highest quality job. We cannot recommend Chi Renovation enough and have already done so to all of our neighbors and friends. Just wanted to get the word out further about a contracting company that is truthful and sticks to their promises!

I used Chi Renovation & Design to remodel my guest bathroom, and would highly recommend them to others. I ended up going with them because they were the most punctual, professional, and organized throughout the consultation & estimate process, and I liked that they were a combined design-build firm, so the project manager (in my case, Ron) would see the whole project through from start to finish. Plus, their estimate was in line with others, and they came highly recommended by a co-worker who'd recently worked with them.

I'd intended to do the remodel in June but then had to push the timeline back to the fall, which they were able to accommodate without an issue. Other things I appreciated were that: the team cleaned up the work area at the end of each day, so I never walked into a mess after work, and I pestered Ron with tons of questions and ideas throughout the process, and he was always quick to provide helpful guidance or answers.

The project itself (punchlist excluded) took closer to 4 weeks than the 3 originally planned, but I'd call that an on-time finish for any contractor. As for the project outcome: the bathroom used to have a tiny (32x32) shower, ugly beige tile that was difficult to clean, and an even uglier glass block window. I'm really happy with the improvements!

The Chi Renovation team was fantastic! The designer (Ryan), the project manager (Eric) and the installer (Derek) - all of them were very responsive, helpful, brought options and ideas for different parts of the projects and did an amazing job in a short time. They even managed to squeeze us in within a tight timeline and finished everything 2 days before the deadline. We LOVE our basement bathroom, as do all our guests! Would highly recommend and will definitely call them again for other bathroom projects in our house!

From the moment we called Chi Renovation was very professional and accommodating. Lior was our project manager and he worked with us and provided us with many great suggestions as far as where to find finished product and giving us input on design ideas. The crew assigned to our project was first rate. Clean, friendly and always consulting us when there was a question and never getting upset with our many questions and mid project changes.

The tile work was perfect! They were a delight and would request them again when we do our other bathrooms. Our only issue was with the installer of our Glass shower door. He was the very last item to finish and he was rather careless and indifferent as to where he was putting his tools and managed to scratch our new sink counter top quite a bit. I mentioned/showed it to Lior and he stated it was unacceptable. in the future I would request another installer for any shower doors we have installed. The end result exceeded our wildest expectations. We look forward to working with Chi Renovation and Design again in the very near future.
