2201 Oakton St, Evanston“Okay so this is less about Home Depot than it is about it's little hot dog stands in their HD locations. I come to this location as well as others often yet have never stopped at Makowski's hot dog stand in any Home Depot. Now like my ma I'm a lover a a solid legit Chicago style hot dog. Not t long ago I read a Chicago Tribune article about Chicago's best dogs and surprisingly these wee little stands located in most if but every location made the list and fairly high up the list. So today I did a double take on the way out and said to myself, "self, what da hell let's get at it". Now, you're probably sayin' to yourself, " all this over a hot dog?" I dunno know where you're from but where I'm from a real Chicago style dog is a bid deal. The menu is small as it should be hung on the wall behind the counter. Chicago style dogs, Maxwell St Polish's, and a few varieties of chips like Lay's another iconic Chicago brand. No other chips really go with a good Chicago style dog. Now I keep mentioning 'Chicago style hot dogs' because it is a style unlike others. Maybe you can't f*ck up a boiled egg but you sure can f*ck up a Chicago style dog if you ain't careful. Only certain kinds of meats and condiments qualify. Anything else is an imposter and sacrilege. No argument about it when it comes to hot dogs. First off the dog gotta be all beef and kosher! Here that? If not I'll say it again louder, ALL BEEF and KOSHER! Get it?! Makowski's has been around since the 1920's and is the real deal originally based outside the famous Chicago Stockyards. My uncles used to talk about it was the place to be when they were kids. As for their sausages they're hard to beat. Their dogs at their HD stands are regular or jumbo all beef and all have that real casing and mandatory 'snap' when you bite into it. If that s*** don't 'snap' trow it away on the quick! It's fake. Next up the condiments. As they say Makowski's Chicago style hot dogs are 'dragged tru da garden'. A meal on a bun. It starts with a steamed bun, diced white onion, not red or yellow or whatever, only diced white onion! Neon colored pickle relish is required too. The kind that glows in the dark we'll still in the jar and a top your hot dog too. A few ripe tomata halves and a nice run of YELLOW MUSTARD along the dog is a must. NO KETCHUP! I'm not gonna repeat that because if you don't already know dat, we'll, screw it, you ain't never gonna, so your a lost cause. A nice kosher pickle speak laid on the bed of yellow mustard, ripe tomata halves, neon relish and white onion. Now this is all topped off with a few sport peppers, these are the only kind allowed and a healthy dash of celery salt to finish it off. This is 'dragged tru da garden' and Wakowski's did it right. Many people use poppy seed buns but they don't and it's probably better when eating a Chicago dog on the run. Though I like the lil poppy seeds in between my teeth. As Pops Panczko would say, dats anudder meal in itself. This Chicago style dog was everything it was bragged to be and more. Totally legit and one of the best I ever had. Wakowski's Chicago style dog stands won't try to gyp you, they're legit and the price is right. I gotta give kudos to the guy behind the counter who created my dog, I didn't get his name but he knows his business and I could see the smile while he did it behind his mask in the way his eyes lit up. I dunno who decided to bring them into Home Depot's but it was a genius move on both of their parts. A marriage made in heaven or maybe just in Chicago. They probably made an old school Chicago style business deal with a hand shake and a smile. Jeez I'm getting hungry just thinking about it, I'm goin' back for anudder. Meet me there.“

1962 Raymond Dr, Northbrook“We used them to get new siding, and even comparing James Hardie to James Hardie, they had a better experience than other places we looked at. The only downside to the experience was that we found nails/screws in our driveway for weeks after, and we had to have them come out and fix the gutters (the downspout needed to be extended for proper drainage). It wasn't a perfect experience, but we're happy with our siding and I'd be happy to use them again.“

1850 N Kedzie Blvd, Chicago“We had foundation problems with the footings of our brick pillars in front of our bungalow. Gary came out and assessed the problem and confidently talked us through the process. The quote was right where we expected it to be and the team of two who did the work were exceptionally skillful. All our neighbors commented on the quality of work they were doing. Apparently the standard brick size has changed since our house was built. The search for the right size proved to be a challenge which they were successful in finding with their dedication to get the job done right. They also squared up our concrete stairs. Highly recommend and will keep calling the doctor when the need arises.“

6622 N Milwaukee Ave, Niles“Brian and the entire LaPelusa team were fantastic. From our initial discussion in their showroom to the care and attention provided during the home visit to outline the project specifics and order process they were detailed and easy to communicate with. We selected their company due to the quality and workmanship that their installation team could offer. We could purchase a door anywhere but needed skilled craftsman to install so as to not have the same repeat problems we had from previous door installations. Their installation team were wonderful and as expected extremely skilled. The installation team also made the whole process incredibly easy. If you are searching for a trusted company to help you with your next project we highly recommend LaPelusa. Thanks for the great work Brian and team. We’ll be in touch regarding our next project. - Chicago home owner.“

1954 1st St Unit 351, Highland Park“We used Proeh Construction to renovate our master bathroom and were blown away by the results!Quality: My top priority for my bathroom renovation was quality. Taking a close look at their previous work, I could tell Proeh was committed to quality. And in the final result, everything was flawless. Every seam perfect, every measurement exact, every detail considered. Everyone who has viewed the bathroom always first comments on the quality. The owner, Jon, emphasized all the construction materials he provided being of the highest grade and I can confirm they were. Even down to the paint, Benjamin Moore Aura, nearly $100 a gallon.Pricing: I had 7 different companies review and bid my project. Jon provided an estimate that was amongst the most reasonable. In addition, we knew that a few surprises would pop up when we opened up the walls, but every additional add-on was super fairly priced.Professionalism: This cannot be understated. The moment Jon arrived on site to review the project, you could get a sense of the professionalism. Of any company, he made me feel the most confident in the project. He showed up to the job site regularly to check in and was always blazing fast to respond to a text or call.Going forward, I would always try to have Proeh complete any home renovation. Truly, the perfect company to hire.(Photos before we had shower glass installed)Services: General construction“

4403 W Lawrence Ave Ste 211, Chicago“The experience with DBR was fantastic. James, Alex, and Adrian were extremely communicative, friendly, and true professionals. We were preparing our condo for sale and needed to update the place to look a little more modern. DBR provided much attention and care to every last detail. Our built-ins and kitchen cabinets looked brand new after their refinishing. The marble surround on the fireplace was meticulously placed. The walls were buttery smooth after their paint job. Our master bathroom was not a complete gut, just a mini-refresh. DBR was able to run the plumbing to accommodate a double vanity in no time and run the electrical to allow the mirror to function properly. DBR's quote was extremely competitive to other contractors we reached out to and I'm grateful we found them. Would gladly reach out to them again for work in our new home! Thanks, DBR!“
