“Signed up for their maintenance plan. Had them out for a full home checkup. They replaced worn weatherstripping, re-caulked the tub, lubricated all the door hinges, and swapped out old dryer vent hose. Really thorough service.”

“Needed a few nail pops fixed and some cracks patched in the stairwell. Quick job, done in a few hours. The finish blended well with the existing walls. Fair price for the work.”
Steve N.Palatine

“Replaced two interior doors and a sliding patio door. Doors hang straight and the hardware is solid. Patio door glides smoothly. Would have liked a slightly faster turnaround on scheduling but the work itself is great.”
