Description of Work: I am not handy and simply wanted a medicine cabinet replaced in a second bathroom. After the company was solicited through Angie's list, someone from North Side Renovations contacted me and told me the job was too small for them and that I should use Yelp to find somebody to do the job. I was extremely disappointed after hearing such great things about Angie's List. The job has not been completed because I was so disgusted!!! W**!! BTW I'm not sure about the date. It was some time ago.

Response from NORTH SIDE RENOVATIONS
Actually, I told [removed member info] we were in the middle of several larger projects and didn't have the time to do his project in the time frame he needed. I'm sorry I tried to help recommend someone to him(but glad we never did any work or estimates for him, judging by his response).

Description of Work: I needed new transformers for my kitchen lighting. I was down to the overhead light and one under cabinet light. Andre, the electrician, worked on the problem and found the solution. Everything is back to normal. I need another light fixed in a different room in my apartment, and I will be calling North Side Renovations to solve that problem as well.

Totally unprofessional. Horrible .
Description of Work: I am a busy professional and when I schedule a meeting, I am on time and if I'm running late, I call to let the person know. It's common courtesy. Last week I scheduled an appointment for today with Jeremy at a time between 2pm and 3:30pm to look at a substantial project. When I scheduled the appointment, I asked him to stop by closer to 2pm as I had another appointment at 4pm. At 2:40pm I called his cell phone to have him call me on his estimated time of arrival. No response. 3pm no response. 4pm no response. 5pm no response. 6pm no response. Finally at 7:06pm he calls me to tell me he sometimes misses appointments. Are you kidding me! I told him I don't work with people that don't respect other people's time.

Response from NORTH SIDE RENOVATIONS
This actually happened this week. I did called [member name removed] at 7:06 to apologize. I explained to him how every once in a while between texts, emails, phone and now Angie's List center, I can miss an appointment(definitely my fault). He was incredibly rude, went on about how important his time is, how I wasted his day, and he would never want to work with someone so unprofessional. Some might call this a slight overreaction. I always try to placate clients and be courteous, but considering [member name removed]'s level of discontent and rudeness to me(having never met him), this definitely would not have been a good match. I am still sorry I missed my appointment with [member name removed], but I am actually glad we will not be working for this him. Life is too short.

Description of Work: Jeremy is the only contractor I have ever dealt with who has respected my preference for email communication, which is very important to me. He was able to give me a quote using pictures of my space and new medicine cabinet and we arranged to have him install it the next week. He showed up exactly when he said he would, and performed above and beyond the service I expected. He was extremely cautious drilling into the wall in order to avoid accidentally hitting any pipes or electrical wires, noticed a potential grounding issue with the previously installed fixture, tested the fixture out to make sure there wasn't a problem, patched a fairly large hole the original developers had just covered with the mirror, and when he was unsure that the standard wall anchors would hold the heavy cabinet installed appropriate bracing top and bottom to ensure we wouldn't need to worry. Most importantly to me, anytime issues were encountered he stopped to tell me what they were so I wouldn't be caught unaware in the future.

See above-
Description of Work: I bought a remodeled condo which needed a number of repairs before it could be deemed 'tenant worthy". Jeremy, the owner of the company, did everything on the list. The kitchen had a hole in the wall where some plumbing had been repaired- he replaced the missing drywall seamlessly. He repaired a faucet which was leaking and totally replaced the bathroom faucet. He fixed a problem with my dryer and changed all the locks on the unit, making extra keys and sending them to me promptly. He even came to the unit to let in a prospective tenant because I didnt live in Chicago, had no property mgr. and needed to show the place. I know he did several more repairs at this address but they're not coming to me right now... all I know is that when I needed him over about a 10-day period, Jeremy was there for me. I really appreciated his hands-on, personal interest in my needs as an out-of-state landlord and don't know how I could have chosen a better contractor!

Extremely overpriced.
Description of Work: Quote on ceiling fan install (with no existing electrical): $1200Quote on painting outdoor vent cover (1 sq foot): $150 Did not hire this company due to exorbitant quotes. Rates work out to $200-$300 per hour. Fan install by another company wound up costing $600 and painting will take about 10 minutes to complete.

He was easy to communicate with, happy to answer tough questions and make sure that the budget for the project was not exceeded. I would recommend Jeremy for future projects, and in fact plan to call him today for additional projects. He worked around my schedule every step of the way.
Description of Work: Jeremy completely remodeled the tenant bathroom in our two flat. We had a collapsed clay pipe under the bathroom and he worked with a plumber he recommended who was very good. Jeremy coordinated logistics with the plumber to get the job done with minimal delay, despite the fact that the scope of the project was greater than initially thought. The bathroom floor needed to be completely relaid and the bathtub supported by new sub floor. He pulled up the old floor, subfloor, resupported the floor with new joists, laid tile, installed plumbing fixtures and did some minor electrical work.

Jeremy repaired water damage to my living room wall and ceiling. Out of the contractors who came out to estimate, he was the only one to really inspect the damage and then make recommendations for repairs. He did a meticulous job scraping and patching the damaged areas. Dust was kept down to a minimum during the work. The repaired sections blend perfectly with the existing areas, down to the wall texture. The project was finished within the time frame and cost estimate. I m very happy with Jeremy s work and would use him again.

We have worked with Jeremy before on rehabbing our building. He continues to be a consummate professional with a small, friendly and knowledgeable team. He started when planned, executed the tasks promptly and cleaned up! (I cannot tell you how many construction and carpenters forget to clean up their work!!)

Extremely pleased with the level of service and quality of workmanship. This is the first major project using Jeremy after giving him several smaller projects. After the initial quote, we ended up discovering some repair work we were not aware of, but Jeremy gave us a more than fair quote. He performed above and beyond our expectations and we have referred to him to many of our friends.
Description of Work: Jeremy performed a complete gut and finish of basement. Built a mini-kitchen and bathroom. Installed cabinetry, used subcontractors for drywall and electrical. Lots of construction and loads of remodeling. He did everything from building out a new stairwell to installing special vents behind the walls to avoid any basement mildew. Jeremy went beyond thorough to make sure our needs were met and anticipated items we hadn't even thought of.
