basement remodeling
+ -1 moreThings started off well but slowed down due to Vlad's son health issues and some of the financial problems Vlad ran into. It was frustrating to have remodeling go on way beyond the originally agreed upon time frames and have the whole house turned upside down, we worked through the issues that he was facing. Towards the end of the project, Vlad simply had too many things going on and wasn't able to finish the project and we mutually agreed to hire another person to finish the remaining loose ends. In spite of the delays and frustration experienced during the project, we can vouch for Vlad's attention to detail and the pride he takes in his work. The basement looks wonderful and kids are enjoying the extra space. We wish speedy recovery for Vlad and his son and hope his personal and financial woes will be soon behind him.

+ -1 moreAn absolute nightmare dealing with this guy!! He stole $16,000 from us!! His name is Vladimir Vujic, not Vladimir Markus. Spend $40 to do a background check on Vladimir Vujic before you sign a contract with him.
Description of Work: CGC Enterpirses is a one man show and the guy running it is VLADIMIR VUJIC. On March 24, 2011, I entered into a contract with Vladimir Vujic/CGC Enterpirses for $20,000 for a basement project which included framing, electrical, plumbing, drywall, trim, painting, insulation, windows, doors, etc. The project was to begin between between April 10, 2011 and April 15, 2011 and be completed within 3-6 weeks. As of April 26, 2011, I paid Vladimir Vujic/CGC Enterpirses $16,000 of the $20,000 contract price. However, despite being paid $16,000, Vladimir Vujic/CGC Enterpirses ONLY completed the framing portion of the project. Furthermore, since April 26, 2011, Vladimir Vujic/CGC Enterpirses only performed about 5 hours of work and told me that he/it did not have the funds to perform any more work on my project (this despite me paying Vladimir Vujic/CGC Enterpirses $16,000!!!!). Vladimir Vujic/CGC Enterpirses repeatedly told me that I would get my money returned to me. However, I did not receive even one penny of my money back. As such, on June 10, 2011, over $400 had to be paid for court fees to file a lawsuit against Vladimir Vujic/CGC Enterpirses in the Circuit Court of Dupage County, Illinois (case no. 2011AR001435). Since the lawsuit was filed, Vladimir Vujic/CGC Enterpirses again repeatedly promised to pay me back my $16,000 and the money for the court fees. An agreement was reached in which Vladimir Vujic/CGC Enterpirses agreed to pay me four monthly payments. However, Vladimir Vujic/CGC Enterpirses failed to even pay me the first monthly payment. In fact, as of October 2, 2011, I still have not even received one penny of my money back from Vladimir Vujic/CGC Enterpirses. He claims that he does not have any money but he yet he is somehow able to offer free 55inch TVs on his website for people that enter into contracts with CGC Enterpirses and also offer 10% discounts. Please do not make the same mistake that I made. Before hiring any contractor, the prudent steps to take would be… 1) Check the Illinois court websites (for free) for lawsuits involving the contractor. If I had done this, I would have learned that I am not the first person to have to sue Vladimir Vujic for breach of contract (see cookcountyclerkofcourt.org, case number 2006M2001836 and see dupagecase.com, case number 2006SC002202). 2) RUN A BACKGROUND CHECK ON THE CONTRACTOR. There are numerous websites that will perform this task, and the average cost is $40. THAT COULD BE THE BEST $40 YOU WILL EVER SPEND! 3) Run a BBB (www.bbb.org) search on the contractor and his company. It’s free. 4) Be very cognizant of the way the payment schedule is structured. Do not put more than 5% or 10% down, and make sure you are only paying for the work as it is being completed. 5) Don’t be fooled by a fancy website or think you are getting a best-in-class contractor simply because when you google “finished basements Naperville” their site is one of the first ones returned. They are paying for this. Check references instead and make sure you have a large sample size.

+ -1 moreCGC Enterprises provided a quote for our basement remodeling project. Vlad, the owner, came to our house to meet with us. He was professional and knowledgable. We received our quote within a week. In our correspondence with Vlad, we found him to be extremely responsive -- emails were always returned promptly. The estimate was very competitive and fair. We decided to postpone the project for financial reasons, but if we had decided to move forward, CGC Enterprises was at the top of our list of contractors. I would recommend this contractor to friends and family.

+ 0 moreI contacted Vlad in August of 2010 for an estimate on basement work. Shortly after our first meeting he constructed several 3D diagrams of options for our basement. We then offered some suggestions and he revised the diagrams accordingly. Based on the final drawing he gave us an estimate of $20,000. At the time the price seemed a bit high, but the contract specifically stated that the price was set and that there would be no increases due to higher material or labor costs. We decided to go with them and work started in late September. Overall, we were very pleased with both the quality of the work and professionalism of the employees. My wife and I both work during the day, and thus we were slightly nervous about giving strangers complete run of our house while we were out. However, those worries proved to be unfounded. When the workers arrived, they went straight to the basement, did their work and never left a mess. The project went just as Vlad described. The framing was done first, then all of the mechanical work, and finally the finishing work. As things progressed, we made some slight adjustments to the original plan and Vlad was very accommodating to our requests. He also offered several suggestions that made the final layout flow much nicer. Along the way we ran into some issues with the way the plumbing for the original roughed-in bathroom was completed and with the placement of the water softener. Vlad and his crew was able to re-route some piping, move the water softener and accommodate for some of the other problems with the original layout. The end result was a beautiful new bedroom and bathroom in the basement. The only issues we had with the project were in regards to the time it took to complete. The original estimate was for a four to five week project, but in actuality it ended up taking nearly 8. There is a logical flow to the order in which projects are completed in a basement, and we had to wait over a week for the HVAC technician to be able to do his work at our house. We also had some trouble with the scheduling of inspections by the village. This was not the fault of the builder because all inspections were passed on the first visit, but coordinating schedules so that all inspections were done in a timely fashion proved to be the tricky part. Overall, we were very pleased with the service we got. Vlad was always quick to reply to any e-mail, phone call or text message. He clearly takes pride in his work, which is evident by the job that he does. His prices may be slightly higher than what others quote, but you definitely get what you pay for. I would have no problem recommending his services to anyone.
Description of Work: We had a completely unfinished basement, and CGC enterprises finished half of the basement to include a large guest room (that doubles as a home office) with a large walk-in closet and a full bathroom.

+ 3 moreCGC did an excellent job on our basement and my wife and I were very impressed with the quality of their work. Throughout the process, they were prompt to respond to our calls and emails, they arrived on time every day, and were flexible when we unexpectedly had to postpone the project halfway through because we got a leak in the basement (thanks to the heavy rains this summer). This was greatly appreciated as I know they were extremely busy at the time and basically worked triple-overtime to fit our job back into their work queue. All of the workers were knowledgeable, thorough, and professional. It's very clear they care deeply about their work and are intent on making sure you are 100% satisfied with their work as well. At the end of the day, we couldn't have felt better about our decision to hire CGC, and the experience was very enjoyable. CGC is a company we'd strongly recommend to others and we will be looking at them for future projects in our home.

+ 0 moreWe had a positive experience but we didn?t hire him because he couldn't really fit our needs. He gave a thorough estimate but it sounds like there is a decent amount of time before he could come back to us. He gave us good advice and he recommended the same basement sealing company that our insurance recommended. He responded quickly.
Description of Work: CGC Enterprises gave us an estimate for fixing up the basement at my mom’s house. There was some flood damage and we were trying to gauge what we could get done with the amount of money left over from insurance.

+ 3 moreThe estimate was for basement remodeling. We wanted quite a few things done in the basement and make it usable. The person who came was very pleasant and fast. He was going to give us a 10% discount because I had found them on Angie?s list. They had good reviews on Angie?s list. The person came right away after I called him. He was right on time and very professional. He was very accommodating to what our needs were.

+ 0 moreWe have hired this company to refinish our basement. They did a great job, from start to finish. The entire construction process took just a bit over 3 weeks. They would start early in the morning and work until 6 pm every day, 5 days a week. Every day they would show us what has been done, and what is in the schedule for tomorrow. The crew was very quiet, and very pleasant to work with. Detail oriented, meticulous, on time, they do what they promise. If you are considering this company for your basement project I can tell you that your money will be well spent hiring them.

+ 13 moreThe entire experience was a real joy for me. I never knew how many things you have to be aware of when you do the project like this, but luckily this company knew exactly how to deal with every problem they ran into. From the beginning to the end, everything was done in 4 weeks. They put up the new framing on the walls and the ceilings, made a brand new full bath, installed 23 new can lights with additional 6 lights inside of the staircase (which was a great idea from the owner of the company). They have also made a wet bar with 27" tv installed. They have also painted the basement, and stained the staircase with chrome balusters, and installed the carpet. Every day when I got back from work, I`d get a "walk-through" with Vlad. He would show me everything they have accomplished for that day, and also he `d show me what is in the schedule for the next day. I must say that I was very impressed by the quality of the service, and attention to details Vlad was putting into this project. Apparently, he really loves his work, and is very proud of it. Two months after they were done, I`ve had an appliance company coming over to deliver and install a brand new microwave, and when they came over, they wanted to cut out a 2 inch by 30 inch area from the top of my backsplash because the microwave was 2 inch taller then the old one. I really didn't wanted to damage my new countertop or the backsplash, so I called Vlad. After describing an issue, he told me to send those guys back, and that he is going to install the microwave for me. 2 hours later, he came over, and installed it in less than an hour. Did not even charged me anything for it, and he did not had to cut out the backsplash at all. All in all, this company's work is worth every penny and more. Every once in a while, I get an email from them checking in on how the basement looks like, do we see any drywall cracks and such. If you are about to use this company's services, you should know that Vlad`s word worth's more than any written contract you may get.
Description of Work: Refinished our unfinished basement, built up a new basement bathroom, built a deck above basement walk-out area.

+ 11 moreAs we have expected, Vlad was extremely meticulous and ahead of the project at all times. The crew was always polite and very quiet. The entire process took 3 weeks from start to finish. We are very happy with our new basement and the flooring. If you consider hiring this company, I am strongly recommending them if you are looking for knowledgeable, experienced, meticulous crew with reasonable prices. In our case, they really did went beyond our expectations this time as well. Even if you don't really know what to do with the basement, how to decorate, etc. Vlad will throw so many ideas at you that you will get stunned with the knowledge and experience this people have. I just want to say THANK YOU to Vlad and his crew for making this project a real ease for us.
Description of Work: We have had CGC Enterprises hired to finish off our basement and to install a hard wood flooring throughout entire 2nd floor in our house. Since we have had them doing some work 18 months ago for us, we did not had 3 or more companies giving us estimates for this project, we were certain that Vlad and his crew will not let us down, and that holds truth this time as well. We have invested just over $32.000 in our basement, and it is amazing what kind of transformation the basement went through. 1700 s.f. area of the floor was cleaned out of the carpet, and gorgeous laminate was put in instead, they did all the framing, with additional full bath and 1 smaller bedroom. They have also installed 36 can lights for us, and made a fully customized bar area for my hubby. They have installed and painted drywall ceiling and the walls. As soon as they got the basement done, they have removed the carpet and padding on our 2nd floor, and installed a hard wood floors.

+ 7 moreFor this project we have had few different companies coming out to give us an estimate. This company was the last one on our "to call" list, because they were referred by a neighbor, and other companies we were getting from YP. Vlad (owner) came the very same night when we called them (8:30pm) because we simply cant change our schedule due to our 3 yr. old autistic child. We were very impressed with his approach and quick response time. He spent almost 2 hours listening to our ideas and discussing all the possibilities we have had for this project. One thing that really stands out was when I asked for a down payment, he said that we have to provide a 10% at the time when we sign the contract, additional 20% when they start, and additional payments as the work progresses, unlike 2 other companies who asked for 60%-75% before they start the work, and the balance when they finish! That alone made me really comfortable with this company. Since day one, I could see these guys busting their back ends every day from 8 am to 4 pm. Projected timeline for this project was 5-7 weeks, and to our surprise they had it completely done in 4 week period. Every day they have had 3-5 people working in our home, and the owner of the company was working with his crew all day long, he would be the first one to show up in the morning, and the last one to leave at the end of the day. This project was an excellence in every single detail possible. Craftsmanship, attention to detail, responsiveness, meticulous crew, they show up on time and they do what they promise. This company is definitely a breath of fresh air among the contractors we have ever worked with. Every night Vlad would even gave as a call, or showed us what they have done for that day. Just an extraordinary communication. Last day when all the painting was done, they had a cleaning crew come out and completely clean up the house, even the rooms they never stepped into. In addition, I have to mention that they were extremely careful with my son around, who is a child with special needs. We are very impressed with overall experience with cgc enterprises, and have them recommended to all our friends and our business partners as well. We are going to remodel our unfinished basement in March `09, and we wont have 3 or 4 companies over to give as an estimate on it. We know who are we going to call.
