Description of Work: Unfortunately, he was booked for the next three months. Angie's list should not have these providers available if they are that busy and cannot take new business.

Description of Work: I have used them for three home repairs at different times. Each might have been done by me in my younger days but due to age related physical ailments, I made a call to them and they arrived that day or the next. I consider them my handyman/remodeling go to people. I would refer them to anyone who needs help.

Description of Work: Everything. Electrical, plumbing, drywall, painting, carpentry. Fixing and also extensive and original renovations. I have been using Dan Podolak for the last ten years for extensive renovations in my homes (Wilmette and Western Springs). I would NEVER hire anyone else for anything, if it's a job that Dan can do. Which is almost everything. His and his colleagues' workmanship is outstanding, the pricing is excellent, his reliability is the best, his trustworthiness impeccable. Working with Dan has been a pleasure throughout the years, and I look forward to more. The total above is the total amount I've spent with Dan in terms of dollars over a 10 year period, and the date of service isn't really accurate as it has been over a period of ten years with just the most recent being in June

We have hired Polodak for several jobs. Dan owns the company so we always work with him. We originally hired him to add exterior lighting to our house since he is a licensed electrician. He has since wired our home theater and completely remodeled 4 bathrooms. In between, he has taken on several miscellaneous jobs for us. We highly recommend his services and will continue to use him for future projects.
Description of Work: electrical work (adding more electrical output throughout the house), outdoor lighting, garage door fixed, bathroom remodeling (tiling, plumbing, electrical), painting (approximate cost is of the last job - 4 bathroom remodels).

Went well at first, very punctual and professiontal, good with the clean up, replacing a ceiling was very messy. Did not like the paint job, looked like roller marks all over ceiling, tried to correct it once by re-sanding the ceiling and painting, still did not look good. Daniel came out to re-paint again for the third time, you can still see parts where he missed with the roller, then on a sunny day, I seen "paint dots" all over my real wood paneling and paint was on my new crown molding, could not get the paint out of the wood grain so I used stain to try to hide it a little. All the hard work Daniel did and I don't understand what happened with the paint job. Lesson learned, hire a person who specialzes one field, not a handyman...
Description of Work: Had ceiling removed and replaced in my rec. room, three can lights installed, new ceiling fan, replaced some paneling in one small area, had ceramic tile installed by door. Painted new ceiling, had all wood trim installed including crown molding.

The lights are in and they are working and we love them. We like him and we like dealing with him. He is a licensed electrician and that was definitely a plus. He did a nice job and he was really professional and polite.
Description of Work: He installed three outdoor motion detector sensor lights for us. Two in front of our house and one in front of the deck.

Dan and his partner were great. They always arrived on time, were very considerate, were very neat, using drop cloths everywhere, and cleaned up thoroughly before they left. They made some great recommendations that really improved the look of our basement. The quality of the work was high.
Description of Work: Dan and his partner replaced a drop ceiling in our basement with drywall, redid the lighting in the basement and crawlspace, replaced some heating duct work, fixed some joists, built stairs for the crawlspace, repaired some wall damage, and primed and painted.

Dan bid the project and made the suggestion to section off the basement workshop from the rec room. He and his helper completed the job in the time estimated (8 days) and we were completely satisfied with every aspect of the project.
Description of Work: Basement remodeling project. Spray painted ceiling (10 gals of paint) and installed 5 light fixtures and two new electrical outlets. Relocated pool table and light above pool table with its own switch. Installed electric fireplace with its own 15A circuit. Installed new flooring. Sectioned off basement by building a wall with entry door to work room so that it was separate from rec room.
