I contacted Bucktown Home Maintenance & Repair LLC and Barry was helpful and responsive. He got the work done for me in less than 24 hours and even answered his phone on the weekend when I contacted him. I would recommend Bucktown Home Maintenance & Repair LLC.

Sorry for the mix up we did not hear from you no email etc.. We never even looked at your house ! We would have gladly come by to give you a price .To any future customers please call 773 278 0700 ,most times we are working on our customers problems and sometimes dont get a call, due to the extreme spam on our phone sometimes we do not clear the voicemail , I challenge anyone anytime to call that # AND WE WILL PICK UP IF YOU DONT GET US THE FIRST TIME TRY IN 15 MIN THEN IN 30. these f reviews from people we have never seen are ridiculous ,our work is excellent our customer list is impressive the complexity of our repairs noteworthy and our ability to move from job to job on the north side of chicago is unmatched ,No work was ever done, we have never even met you...

They didn’t respond to the Angie’s List request. What’s the point of Angie’s List ratings if the vendors don’t care to respond?

Barry and his guys did a great job redoing my basement bathroom last summer. Barry is prompt and his guys are very meticulous in their work. They also do an excellent job cleaning up, unlike my last contractor. I've since used them many times for other jobs such as repairing my porch, fixing my hardwood floor, drywalling, and some minor tuckpointing.

The work was done but the process of working with Barry (presumably the owner) was frustrating. He was hard to reach on the phone and not responsive on email. Repairing the screen required it to be taken away for a week but he did not communicate that ahead of time. I asked for receipt for recording keeping purpose but he did not response. I will not hire him again or recommend anyone to.

Im sorry you feel we did not do a good job in july,why did you wait 6 months to review? as I recall we patched your closet ceiling for free, we have good reviews 100 + there will always be someone who is dissatisfied , 5 SUPER SERVICE AWARDS We do more drywall repair and door work than most , I gave you a fair price and did the work in a timely manner,if there is any aspect of our job that customers dont like just point it out and we will fix it, we pride ourselves on doing good work ,sometimes there is a personality conflict,obviously there was one here- barry

Perfectly. Barry got a worker at our house within a few hours of our telephone call. We should be able to remount the overhead cabinet after the bottom is trimmed. The worker who came actually helped install a bifold door on our pantry a few months ago - both jobs were done very well. Would recommend and will use again!!!

Barry assessed the problem and offered a lower cost or higher cost repair. He explained his reasons for both and the long term consequences of each. Existing concrete had to be removed, and a piece of the neighbors fence removed. The neighbors property had to be accessed to do the work. Barry explained to the neighbor what he was going to do. The workmen had to be careful so they didn't damage the neighbors concrete as the work they were doing butted up against it. Concrete was poured against the vinyl siding which was taped off so no concrete splatter would damage the siding. The concrete was finished off smoothly. Caulking was done the next day. The neighbors gangway was left cleaner then when they started. The workmen were courteous. Everything went smoothly. They came when they said they would, cleaned up and the repair stopped water from coming in. This is the second time I have used Bucktown and they stand behind their work. If there is a problem they will return and redo the work if necessary. I would recommend Bucktown Home Maintenance & Repair to everyone.

Although on time, the individual just kept going on and on (and ON) about how he was local, could beat the other "guys" and how they were rated "so high on Angies List...." blah blah blah. I found the man to be more or less unprofessional and unkempt. So, we walked around the house - took an hour or so to review all of the projects. He took no notes. Then later that day or the next day, I get an email in paragraph form, of the numbers. Not quite what I was expecting. Although price-wise they seemed to be fair (not complaining here), I found the lack of professionalism to be really off-putting. Moreover, the more a contractor tells me how much everyone loves them and how good they are and how people are just raving about them - that is a huge red flag and makes me think that the opposite must be true. I cannot speak to their work but I would not hire.

simply put this lady called for an estimate we went out and quoted her,she wanted to see our price in writing so I sent her an email detailing the price,2 weeks later she wanted an excel spreadsheet breaking down the cost of labor and materials, I bailed, as we are to busy maintaining our jobs and working and she gave me a bad vibe when she signed her email esq. she informed me she was a construction lawyer " avoid the bear traps at all costs " just because you are a potential customer doesnt give you the right to slam people when they tell you no, thank you that is all

He was very patient and explained everything what he was going to do and how he was going to do it. He was very careful, very precise about his cuts. Just a conscientious work I would never hesitate to call him again. He was very good. I would call him again.

We bought a new house and we did not know that they were not going to install closets. So I was in a rush to try and find somebody. I explained to him that I would need some curtain rods as well as over our windows installed so we could move in. I had about five or six windows to do and four closets. He sent four guys and they came and I assumed that two would do the windows and two would do the closet. However they all started working on the curtains. They were here for two and a half hours and finished before the work was done.? They got five curtain rods installed and zero closet. One guy was just handing the other guy curtain rings. They could not find the studs and they made hold in the closet and never hang a rod. He charged me $270 for it and I never heard from him.

Initially I was very pleased with Barry's responsiveness. I sent an email asking if he could repair a cement crack and offered to send photos. Barry sent me an email the same day asking to see the photos. He then called me to discuss repair plans. He asked me to take additional photos, which I did and sent them the next day....and I never heard back. No follow up of any kind. Not a very customer friendly approach and I was more than happy to give my business to a company that actually wanted it.

sorry I would have responded but we got lost in the email chain you could have called me as I feel funny constantly calling potential customers "hey have you thought about fixing the cracks in your ceiling yet? we could be right over! "Again we have never seen you or your house I never heard back and figured you went in a different direction,but you feel the need to give me a negative review?

Barry was very prompt with his call back and fast response to my request to have the wood frame repaired and double paned glass re-installed. He was also able to work around my need to drive in to Chicago from the suburbs to meet his crew. This is an older building with many issues. He will be the first one I call for help with all my other needs. It is great that I will only need to make one call to be scheduled and will not have to go thru several people. It is especially nice that he answers the calls himself and the price was reasonable. With heavy rain being forecasted it was imperative the window be repaired a.s.a.p.
