Quality, pride and attention to detail are the hallmarks of Darcy Bean Custom Construction. After working for over 20 years in the construction business around East Central Illinois, I founded my company in 1994 to provide our customers with a "hands-on" approach to quality building and remodeling. While some builders will cut corners to save a few dollars, I work closely with our customers to craft their project plans to meet their needs. From a small room remodel, to building the home of your dreams, my company will provide the highest quality construction services.
We handle a wide range of construction jobs, including kitchen remodels, bathrooms, room additions and light commercial projects. In addition to construction, we can also provide design services. These steps, handled by one office, turn your project into a seamless process that will meet your specific needs.
In 2011 we won two national gold Design Awards!

I submitted a review yesterday and learned today that price point and quality of service were given an "F" . I apologize for whatever I did to cause this rating to appear; it is inaccurate. The price point does not apply, yet; our project needs more realistic planning on our part. The rating for quality of service should be "A" for three levels of initial customer service. Hopefully the two responses will be merged. Anyone planning a project that can benefit from the services of a General Contractor, will do well to consider the services of Darcy Bean Construction.
Description of Work: Darcy Bean gave time and attention to our desire for a remodel. Questions asked via phone, email and personal meeting were patiently listened to and responded to. Customer: DO ask questions until you are comfortable with the answer and aware of the impact on your project.

We do strive for an aesthetically pleasing finished project whether it is large or small. It takes time and effort to accomplish, what in the end, looks like a simple project. Thanks for your comment. It was a pleasure to work for you and your husband.

It went fine. I got a quote from them but we ended up not going with them. They came out to look at my property and then the quote probably came two weeks after that. Their quote was just too high and I got quotes that were less than that. They were professional. There were a couple of things that I was not too happy with. For example, Darcy Bean sent a plumber out to my house and I was unaware that he was going to be sending a plumber to my house and the plumber contacted me early that morning and said that he needed to come over that very day within the next hour and I told him that that was not going to work for me and that I would have appreciated him calling at least 24 hours in advance. I did not know who the plumber was but he was not the most perceptive to me telling him that he could not come out that day. In general, Darcy was professional but he did state that he was going to come out to give me the quote on a Monday and then he ended up not doing that. I kept having to ask him if he was coming that Monday because he had never set a time and then he finally got back to me that Monday morning and said that he could not come that day and that he would have to come the following day. I would probably not consider getting a quote from them in the future just because I think that most of their quotes would probably be pretty high.
Description of Work: I got a quote from Darcy Bean Custom Construction at the end of September for completely renovating our basement.

Thank you for the opportunity to provide a quote for your basement build-out. Unfortunately, our price was higher than you wanted to pay, but we sincerely do appreciate the opportunity. Just an informational tidbit: I usually state to any new client during the initial email or phone call that "We never try to be the cheapest in any project we quote". Maybe I failed to do so in this case. We do provide full service, detailed design plans, dust, floor and wall protection with a comprehensive scope of work that depicts what we are providing and for how much. This takes the guess work out of the equation for the clients. We also have highly skilled, highly paid long term employees and licensed/qualified subcontractors that don't mind working with local code enforcement officials. These valuable people know how to do things built around our company culture and company standards that we strive to achieve on all of our projects. If we are the cheapest, it isn't by design....sometimes it happens. Our plumber/HVAC guy did call the same morning as he was attempting to view the project. Unfortunately, he lives 35 minutes out of town and had limited time to view the project before heading to another. He tries to accommodate everyone's schedule, but this time it didn't work out. The need for him to view the project was that he is a licensed plumber and HVAC installer. For him to provide the "best" price, he needs to see the work ahead of time so he knows exactly what he will encounter. Without viewing, he can only estimate and add a "little extra" $ in there for those unforseen items we all to often encounter. I am sure that your basement project well and you are happy with the results. Again, I did appreciate the opportunity and thank you for considering Darcy Bean Custom Construction.

Excellent job. Worked closely with us to detail what we wanted, offered good advice on design/materials and came up with final design based on our conversations. The quality of work was excellent, and very professional. There was a bit of delay because cabinets were delayed, but otherwise progress was as expected. The final bathrooms are gorgeous, and the linen cabinets transformed the second floor.
Description of Work: Two bathroom remodels and installation of new linen cabinets

This was the second large project for [member name removed]. It took over a year for the two of us to work out the details and timing of the project, but in the end, everything was planned (in house) and ordered ahead of time so things could proceed with minimum hiccups. As planned, most of the work was completed while they were out of town. No job is perfect, and we did have a small issue that needed checked when they returned home. Apparently we did our job well as [member name removed] gave us an "A".

They did a superb job with very high quality. Actually we've had a lot of very positive comments on the design of the kitchen; so they did a very nice job on the design. Their cabinetry recommendations were all very well. The quality of the cabinetry and installation was very good. They even came up with solutions to constructions problems that were actually quite clever. Basically it was just finishing touches that made it really high quality work.
Description of Work: We've worked with Darcy Bean Construction and we have a kitchen remodeled. They did the design and the entire kitchen remodel about 5 years ago in April.

This was a fun project. [member name removed] and I had an AHAH moment when we started talking about the backsplash. She asked if I had ever seen a particular shape and style of tile. I replied " I had just come back from this artisan "factory" to see the product first hand" and couldn't wait to use it. Perfect timing for both of us as this tile was the crown of a very nicely detailed kitchen remodel.
