Report
We worked with Chicago Renovations and Development to completely redo 2 bathrooms. To say their work was outstanding is an understatement. The initial meeting was warm, collegial and insightful. The planning was excellent and their assistance with suppliers could not have been better. Their work crews are spectacular -- professional and very personable. And most importantly, they also worked with us to make sure the quality of what we bought was high, advised us on material we should return and exchange, and discussed with us what they we going to as they engaged in the project. Best of all was the pride they took in the work they were doing -- genuine, high-quality craftsmanship. I would never hesitate in recommending them.

Brad works the details, communicates frequently, and delivers value. Jerry and the crew are ultra professional, conscientious, and put in a good days work. We have an old house and they had to rebuild the bathroom from the ground up. The results exceeded our expectations. We're now dreaming about our new kitchen. Brad and team will be our first call.

Chicago Renovation and Development did a fantastic job renovating our bathroom located in a downtown high rise. They were very professional, kept us informed, and went above and beyond to remodel a bathroom that needed serious work. The final product was breathtaking! Service: Remodeling

Report
We were in a time crunch and needed someone right away. Brad and his team were out quickly and did everything to get the job completed as quickly and efficiently as possible. We were extremely happy with the quality of the work, the responsiveness in getting it completed and the detailed billing provided for the insurance claim needed. I would recommend Chicago Renovation and Development for the professionalism, work quality and pricing.
