Mark & Vanna's Chicago Kitchen Remodel
I had my kitchen remodeled, complete gut (new electric, walls, plumbing, sub floor, etc) by Elite Home Builders this summer of 2008. When looking for a contractor, I asked 6 people I knew that had their kitchen remodeled.
They all told me horror stories and did not recommend their remodeling contractor. So you can see, I was leery of doing this. I started out with setting up meetings with 10 contractors. I choose Elite because the effort, honesty, and down to earth personality of the owner Ira. Even before I decided what contractor I was going to sign with, Ira accommodated me and my wife every time I asked for another meeting with him to discuss the details or price of the kitchen. Ira even set up a meeting so I could meet his foreman and electrician so that they could tell me exactly how they would do the work I wanted. Ira told me exactly what the price would be, and kept to it, within my budget.
I like to mention the crew that was doing the work. Robert the foreman, Peter, Ziggy, & Januz. All were great, polite, clean and did excellent work. Even when I had them change things over & over because I didn't like the look, they always accommodated me with no hassle what so ever. I also would like to mention that during the project, Ira gave me his cell number & his foreman's Robert cell number, so I could call them with questions and concerns. They always returned my calls, even at 10pm at night and on Sundays. I never had a contractor do that, ever. The kitchen turned out FANTASTIC. Me & my wife are very happy and the experience with Ira & his workers was great. I would highly recommend Elite Home Builders to anyone and will definitely hire them again.
