Description of Work: Mr. Majer removed a portion of my kitchen wall, installed a new kitchen window and a new interior door complete with new framing and threshold. He also installed a new storm door. | |Tim was always punctual and arrived with a huge smile and a great disposition. His work ethic is unbeatable and the work he produces is impeccable. His advice and knowledge is "spot on" and I was always happy I heeded his recommendations. And last but not least, Tim always left my home in better condition that he found it -- immaculate! I hope to use Mr. Majer for future projects!! |

In addition to excellent workmanship, TC Majer Carpentry provided outstanding communication. Kept us up to date on the progress, and we worked together to resolve any "surprises" encountered in construction. Also daily cleanup was wonderful.
Description of Work: Built an outdoors deck. Earlier in 2014 provider finished our basement.

In exactly 40 days, three days ahead of schedule, Tim Majer and his group of craftsmen, built me a beautiful kitchen/dining room as well as redoing my bathroom and painting my family room. He secured all the necessary permits and set up village inspections where he was highly praised for his attention to detail. I can honestly say I had a stress free remodel. Tim has a team that included Detail Kitchens with designer Cathy Sullivan who listened to me explain my story board of kitchen ideas, gave wonderful advice throughout the project when I needed "certification" that my ideas would work, included features that I hadn't even told her I was thinking about, and was immediately available when an unforeseen problem in the ceiling needed instant attention and problem solving: ABT who knew my kitchen design when I walked in their door and had ideas for my appliance needs: Tony Maggio who owns Armored Plumbing, Inc. and handles a mean jack hammer when pipes need to be moved; Joe Nawrocki, owner of JJ New Light, Inc. who had the forsight to put in the new electrical box in October so that when the kitchen/dining room redo was done in snowy January and February, he was ready to go with the electricity; George Darby of GD Decorating whose painters Jose, Eider and Pepe can paint the straightest lines I have ever seen; Brian Schultz, owner of D**** Tile Service and Sons, whose artistic judgement was followed as to how my stone/glass tile would work with the subway tile to create the most pleasing backsplash; Percy Bell of Mid America Tile whose suggestion of 3 sheets of the stone/glass tile that made up just two small rows of tile but gave the whole wall a certain interest and POP; Rich Rosslin of Country Side Mechanical,Inc who kept the furnace going in the cold months, vented everything for the best circulation, and returned in spring to make sure the AC was in working order: Frank Gargano of Counter Source, Inc. who cut my granite counter tops exactly as I pictured them: and Scharm Floor Covering who installed tile whose patterns I continue to be fascinated with each day. I mention all these people because they are mostly owners of small companies, professional tradesmen who work well together, help each other if necessary, and really like working with Tim. Tim is a perfectionist and it shows. Each evening the work area was cleaned up and what had been accomplished was explained to me. There were no surprises in costs. He kept in constant touch with me by phone as well as encouraging me to check in during the day to see what was being done. He takes a great deal of pride in what he does and wants his client satisfied with his work. He had people working all but one day. No down time with this kitchen. I mentioned my utility room door that was askew that he fixed by adjusting something. These were the little extras that I really appreciated. He also introduced himself to my neighbors and gave them his card in case any of the trucks coming and going were ever a problem. They had his number. I feel you get what you pay for. Tim will tell you himself that he isn't the cheapest but I can honestly tell anyone that he was worth every cent that I paid. I had peace of mind that things would be done right by everyone and they were. I waited a few months to write this review in case there were things that didn't work out but I continue to be very happy with everything that was done. I would hire the entire group in a second!
Description of Work: Tim Majer, the owner, gutted my kitchen and dining room and also installed new custom doors in the bathroom as well as fixing my utility room door that hadn't worked right in years. He installed all of the new wood cabinets that were purchased from Detail Kitchens in Arlington Heights, IL.

He is awesome. He was plus plus rating for me. He's amazing. I'll be using him again. I'll have him come over to do some estimates on some jobs that needs to be done. I probably frankly won't even use anybody else because he's the best. He's not the least expensive but he's the best.
Description of Work: T C Majer Carpentry installed crown molding in my house. He replaced the French doors and put in a sliding door. He did window repair. He has done quite a few things for us.

[removed member name] It has taken me awhile to finally start utilizing Angie's List. I finally set up an account and was able to see that I have had several customer's putting in reviews on my work without me even knowing it. I was happy to see that all were raving reviews and I wanted to take a moment to say THANK YOU for taking the time to rate me and provide an honest and overwhelming kind review! Hope all is well with your Mom's settling in to her new home. Sorry that we couldn't come up with a solution on her cabinet unit that financially works for her. Building a custom cabinet as we discussed is time consuming to achieve the perfection I strive for. I will keep my brain working on a possible easier solution. Let me know if you or you Mom come up with a simpler solution and would like me to quote it. I hope you, Dean and the rest of the family have a blessed Christmas! Thanks again from the bottom of my heart! Tim

He has done quite a bit of work for me in the past. He's very honest and his work is just fantastic. I would recommend him highly. He works alone. He's very kind and he always comes back if there's a problem which or never is the case. He's very punctual and he cleans up after himself every single day. We would never know that he was here when he leaves. He charges a little more than other people but it shows in his work. We've used him quite a bit.
Description of Work: I used T C Majer Carpentry earlier this year to put in vinyl windows.

Description of Work: I had water leaking into my home and another contractor had misdiagnosed the problem and his estimate was outrageous. I called Tim Majer and he listened to my problem, promptly visited my home to evaluate the problem and make an estimate. Tim was thorough in his explanantions and plans. His estimate was reasonable. The work was done promptly once the materials arrived. He was polite and courteous. I would recommend Tim Majer to anyone who needs work done. I am completely satisfied with the entire process.

In every instance Tim Majer showed himself to be a true professional who takes great pride in the quality of his work. He is pleasant to work with, and keeps his promises. He recommends quality products and makes sure the delivered material is free of flaws and imperfections. I would not hesitate to recommend Tim for any household job, both inside and out. He has built decks and gazebos for friends and has been responsible for major improvements to my own home. In refacing a large number of cabinets in my kitchen, Tim worked meticulously for several weeks to totally transform my kitchen to the look we desired. That effort alone convinced us that he would be the man we would call for future jobs. He has never disappointed us.
Description of Work: Tim has been my go-to guy for home remodeling for many years. He began by refacing my kitchen cabinets. Later put in new vanities and countertops in two bathrooms and redid a back bar and cabinet in a basement recreation room ruined by flooding. He also removed carpeting and installed flooring in a hallway and office area.

Tim arrived promptly every morning for approximately 2 weeks (which he told me in advance that's roughly that's how long it would take) at precisely 7:30 am ready to work. And his helper was right behind him. Both were very skilled workers. Tim's knowledge and expertise of deck building was only over shadowed by his getting every detail just right. When the ultradeck material was delivered, Tim was not happy with it, he said it looked used, all beat up, scratched, and just not acceptable to him, so he had the company take it back and had another shipment delivered the following day. He told me, if it was his deck, he wouldn't want that on his deck, so why put it on his customers deck. That's how Tim wants his customers deck to look, just like if it was his own. I couldn't see using anybody else to put up a deck for me. Tim's a true professional. I highly recommend him!
Description of Work: Tim replaced an aged deck with a new deck with new "no maintenance" ultradeck composite decking. He described in detail the benefits of using this material as compared to treated wood, and how the added expense would pay for itself in not having to paint or stain every year or so. Tim also put in a new front porch railing using the same material.

Tim was quick to get my estimate back once he came out to my home. It took him a few days to get out for the estimate, but he works alone, and did not want to interrupt his current job for an estimate. He explained he would not do so if he worked on my house either, and he explained that he would not leave my job once it was started. Tim is a little pricey, but I had a feeling I would get my money's worth. Once we signed a contract, Tim started about three weeks later. He showed up every day at 7:30am and didn't leave until at the earliest 4:30pm. He has a great work ethic, and really takes pride in his workmanship. This is evident once the job is complete. It took exactly one week to finish the work. He started on Monday and was finished on Friday. His quality of work is unbeatable, and he was a pleasure to work with. He cleans up every day after he is done, vacuums, sweeps and tidys up. The improvement in my house with this new woodwork is fantastic! Just remember when you get a few estimates, Tim may be a little higher, but you get what you pay for. I give him my highest recommendation, and when I get out of the "poor house" I will be calling him back to remodel my kitchen. I am attaching a few pictures, and please understand my house has not been painted yet, nor has the woodwork Tim installed. I just wanted you to see a sample of his laser precise cuts, I will try to add more photos once the work has been painted.
Description of Work: Installed three new six panel doors, installed casing around all doors on first floor and second floor. Installed baseboard on first floor and most of second floor excluding master bedroom (already completed). Essentially updated entire house with new casing and baseboard. Completed the house by installing the three new doors.

Tim has been doing all of our carpentry work for four years. We would never use anyone else. His work is first rate and his prices are fair. If you want a bargain price for bargain work, don't bother with Tim. The price he charges reflects the quality of his work. When we had our basement remodeled, and the building inspector found out that Tim was doing the work, he told us that we had the best. Another building inspector who inspected our outdoor work called him "Mr. perfectionist".
Description of Work: Built cabinets and countertop. Built base for large model train layout. Acted as general contractor and carpenter for full basement remodel. Built gazebo and pergola for back yard
