I am more than pleased with the work that Chris and his associate, Carol, performed in our bathroom. It is a medium size bathroom that had wallpaper covering every place possible. This wallpaper was attached to the wall so well, it seemed like it would be an impossible job. Chris not only removed the wallpaper but prepped the walls so that when we have our bathroom remodeled, the painter will have an easy job. He also fixed a crack in the ceiling that I have been looking at for years..............and which remodelers truly shied away from touching. Chris finished yesterday and it looks beautiful! Thank you Chris for all of your hard work, great business ethics. You did a wonderful job and we appreciate it more than you know.
Description of Work: The provider removed wallpaper from our bathroom, cleaned up the walls, sanded and primed the walls, fixed a crack in the ceiling, painted the ceiling.

Chris gave me an estimate at a very good price. Unfortunately our situation changed because of a lay off and we could not follow through. I do want to give them credit for responding quickly and taking the time to work up and estimate.

Chris was great. He came to do the estimate within a few days, was on time, and gave a competitive bid that arrived within a day or two. He stuck me as being a hard-working, thorough person (examples: showed up late on a Saturday afternoon after a day of work, took shoes off before walking on hardwood floors, pointed out that source of the leak need to be fixed before starting job) and for that reason was able to schedule this small job within a week, which is impressive in the summer painting season. I decided to just do the work myself, but will certainly call them for larger jobs in the future. Recommended.
Description of Work: Gave a bid for painting a bathroom with water damage. The work included skim coating, requiring more than one trip which of course adds to the cost. Paint provided by customer.

While we are greatfull for this review. It must be for a diffent Vendor On angie's list. Brothers Contracting Home Services does not install gutters, and we do not service the Illinois area. Again thanks for this review I hope that it gets applied to the proper company.

Everything went smoothly and in a timely fashion until it was discovered, upon starting the re-grouting of the shower, that there was extensive mold, etc, behind the tile. Not expected, needless to say! The project went into "restart mode" at this time! Despite the fact that the finish date was extended and the fee was understandably raised, we never thought that the work would not be done in an excellent, professional manner. We had met with three other contractors for an estimate before deciding upon Chris (Brothers Contracting). Upon looking at the "revised situation", it reassured my husband and myself that the right contractor had been chosen in the first place! We hope to employ him again in the near future for an entirely different project. Chris has a great eye for detail. We anticipate being satisfied and happy again!
Description of Work: The following work was done: re-tile both bathroom floors; strip wallpaper on one wall, prime and paint, re-apply entire border in one bathroom; install new toilet in one bathroom; tear out existing tile in shower down to the studs, re-create (!) entire shower (tile, fixtures, etc.); re-paint that bathroom.

Not only did they not show up, they never even called!! We waited, thinking perhaps they were running late. Nothing. My husband, being the type who likes to give everyone second chances, said that we would wait to see if they called the next day, offering a really good explanation. Nope. Nothing AGAIN! Wow. We are shocked. We have NEVER had someone completely stand us up! I wanted to report this, because people deserve to know. There are plenty of other companies out there.
Description of Work: We contacted this company after seeing them in the coupon section of the most recent Angie's List magazine. We saw that they were an Angie's List award winner four times in the last six years. They were polite and courteous on the phone, and they arranged a time to come to our home, on the 8th of July. They had all of our contact information.

The borders in the bedroom were more difficult to remove than thought. Borders finally came off and the spackling ended up making the walls smooth again. Covered room openings with plastic to keep the spackle dust down. Chris noticed spot on ceiling and covered it up without being asked. Beautiful job of painting.
Description of Work: We had Brothers Contracting surface and paint the kitchen walls and remove 2 borders in the bedroom and paint the walls. Also, had to repair a hole in the kitchen wall. They did a beautiful job painting the walls. Had to do some spackling in both rooms and the walls turned out very smooth.

Overall very satisfied with the service, and would use again in the future.
Description of Work: Met Chris a couple weeks prior to the service date to get an estimate on painting the entire interior of our 900 sq ft rental in downtown St Paul. Very professional on the phone and actually answered his phone when I called which I'm finding is becoming less common these days (I was getting irritated about leaving messages with the other businesses I contacted). Needless to say, Chris gave the best estimate out of the three companies, and better yet, he was able to get started quickly. I wanted a quick, professional completion of the project because it was a rental I was trying to turn around between tenants. He was very good at communicating what work was entailed, and estimates on supplies. Also, he was very attentive to our special requests. I even had him hang some curtain rods and change out the shower head, etc. because of the convenience and low cost he charged. Overall, I'm very happy with the outcome, and would highly recommend Chris and his staff.

We had Brothers Contracting come in to do some repairs to water damaged/moldy drywall in our basement. Chris was very professional, recommended additional work that could be done in conjunction with the repairs, completed everything under budget and on-time. He was very good about communicating with me - called me pretty much every day with a progress report. We are very happy with the quality of the work and will definitely call Chris when we are ready to fix the rest of the house.

I called for an estimate on Sunday and Chris answered the phone and said he could come by on Monday afternoon. I wanted an estimate on stripping a windowsill and removal of wallpaper in one room with the walls then made ready for painting, which I planned to do myself. Chris was on time. Looked at the job, took measurements and said he would email an estimate in a couple of days. He was also going to give me a option whereby he would do the painting so I could decide if I wanted to do it myself or roll it into the job. A couple of days later he left a message on my voice mail at work saying that it might make more sense and be just a little more expensive to replace the window trim rather than strip it. I called him back and left a message on his voice mail, that I would be open to that and to estimate it as another option so I could compare it to the stripping bid. I never heard back from him via email or telephone.
Description of Work: None- I requested an estimate, which I did not receive.

It went great. Chris was great to work with - he did a very thorough job of explaining the process for repairing/refinishing my windows and doors. He is very professional and did a great job.
Description of Work: My front door and many of my windows which are all hard wood were very weathered. The door needed sanding, staining and a little bit of patching. The windows needed sanding, staining, touching up and the old hardware including lift mechanisms needed to be repaired.

Chris from Brothers Contracting came over and immediately had at it. Within two hours he had the old vanity, sink, mirror removed and disposed of and the new one already in place. This is the second time I've used Brothers and what amazes me most is Chris' work ethic. The guy just doesn't stop until the jobs done. He reinstalled all the plumbing with new fittings and pipe and hung the new mirror as well. Chris also had to remove some existing tile. It took Chris litterally 5 minutes to attach the kitchen cabinet to the wall. What a lucky find Chris has been for me. He's reliable, honest, and his pricing is extremely reasonable. I highly recommend Brothers Contracting.
Description of Work: Had an existing vanity, sink, medicine cabinet, and mirror removed in bathroom and replaced with new vanity, granite countertop with back splash and side splash, faucet, drain, and mirror. Also new piping was installed. I also had a free standing kitchen cabinet attatched to the wall.

I can't begin to express how impressed I am with these guys. I had a team of three for two days, (Chris, Bryan, And Bob). They were all exceptionally professional, polite, and very very fast. The price was very reasonable for all the work they did. They paid attention to detail and the cleanup was excellent. I plan on hiring them again for adding new tile in bath and painting of the rest of the condo. I highly recommend them to anyone. Believe me, you won't be sorry.
Description of Work: I had Brothers Contracting remove wallpaper in bathroom and kitchen. Also had them replace an exhaust fan in the bathroom and four light fixtures. The wall paper in both the kitchen and bath was extensive. They then painted the bathroom ceiling and walls and all the walls in the kitchen and one accent wall in the dining room. In the kitchen they moved the refrigerator and stove and painted behind them. Primer and two coats of paint were applied to all areas.

They were great. My husband and I were so comfortable with them, that we gave them a key to our house on days that we either won't be home when they arrived or when they left. I am very safety conscious, so that says a lot about how much we trusted them. Also, I had no idea as to the color for the basement bedroom; they suggested a sunshine yellow that they've used in other homes and it's perfect for that bedroom.
Description of Work: Painted living room, dining room, kitchen, master bedroom, 2 bathrooms, and sunroom. Took out basement bedroom walls, bar area, and laundry room that had mold damage, sheetrocked those areas and then painted the bedroom, parts of the entry area and bar area and one of the laundry room walls. They also took out the old flooring in the bar area and put down the most beautiful flooring in the bedroom and bar area. They also painted the ceilings in the living room, master bedroom, bathroom, and dining room. They wallpapered one wall of the dining room. And, before they could paint the master bedroom and one wall of the basement bar area, they had to remove a wall of glass tiles in both areas (installed by previous owner). They also but in new doors in the basement bedroom, bathroom and laundry room. I was not at home when they started painting the kitchen, but when I got home, I had them stop. The color was not what I had envisioned. They were very cool with stopping (in fact, they thought the color wasn't right), and trying another color, which I love. They took away all debris and the window treatments in the sunroom and main entry, as I requested. Unfortunately, after the tornados here a few weeks ago, we got heavy rains. A couple of weeks later, I noticed that the floor of the basement bedroom was buckled. We had drain tile installed, by another company, last fall to prevent flooding in the furnance room and basement bedroom. Brothers Contracting came out and removed the new bedroom floor, at no additional cost, so we can have testing as to the cause of water under the floor.

When Chris came over to estimate the job he was on time, I was about 15 minuets late, professional and very willing to listen to what my concerns were even though this was a small project. Over all I am very pleased with working with Chris, the quality of the work he performed and the fair price. He was on time to start the work and finished on time. Chris was able to save some money on materials and passed that savings on to me in the form of some additional work that needed to be done but we didn't see on first inspection. Great experience.
Description of Work: The work I needed was minor wall repair, prep and painting. This was my mothers town home that I needed to get ready for sale. There was some minor water damage to the ceiling from ice dams this past winter that also needed repair. All of the work I had done was of a spot repair type in multiple rooms and required the individual attention to detail that Chris gave and I was very pleased with.
