“We began gathering estimates for a James Hardie exterior re-siding of our cedar sided home in late winter. We received estimates from three local, reputable installers. Bak Brothers' estimate was in the mid-range of the three. What convinced us to go with Bak Brothers was the responsive, thoughtful engagement with sales rep Scott Dunda. Scott provided excellent service, and was responsive to our needs as the process proceeded.
Once we chose Bak Brothers, Greg Krys became our point of contact as the project manager. Like Scott, Greg was always available and responsive to our questions and concerns. In cooperation with Greg, as well as Peter and Tomas who did the actual residing, we made changes and improvements as the project went along. The project began sooner than originally and planned, and while it took a few days longer than expected, we could not be happier with our "new" house, and will recommend Bak Brothers to anyone looking for a high quality, competitively priced James Hardie siding project. Thank you“
“After many years in waiting my wife and I decided we needed new windows for our home. We had a lot of windows including some picture windows. My wife asked me to find a Chicago area contractor. Thinking about this and knowing that there were lots of Ukrainians (prior experience working with Ukrainain software developers who are considered some of the world's best programmers) living in the Chicago area I started looking for window contractors that were Ukrainian base...... and I found one. The name of the window contractor was E. V. Windows & Doors. Our first meeting with Chris was great and somewhat unique. At the end of the meeting, I asked Chris why we should hire him. Chris responded saying they were the best ... ... ..and he said he had a team of Ukrainians working for him.... which was the best, most concise value proposition and greatest sales close I have ever experienced. For those who have never had the Ukrainian worker experience I strongly suggest you use E. V. Windows & Doors. Allow Chris to prove to you the masterly great Ukrainian work as they do window installs for your home. The only negotiation was discussing how soon he could start. Starting date became the main thing. While waiting for Chris's team to come a couple months later we would contact Chris and ask him questions about the project. When we had a question, we would email, or call and we got a near immediate response with a brief and accurate summary. They always responded quickly with great suggestions and updated us on the manufacturing and supply chain process for new windows. Being introduce to the window manufacturing-supply chain process with updates on each was very different from other prior service providers In the middle of September, Chris's Ukrainian team came to our home. Stefan, a nice and very smart guy was the crew leader. Introduicng himself in a professional manner, Stefan described the process they would use, a first for me. Other contractors for other jobs never explain in length in the manner Stefan describe to me. Then they went to work. Instead of being gabby like other work crews we had in our home from prior work they were heads down getting the work done. They moved fast, being very neat and tidy, always picking up anything that fell. When I came by and asked a question they immediately answered and then went right back to work. One thing I noticed as they were working was how focused and effective they were as they installed the larger picture windows on the second floor of our home. Despite the window size each crew man was able to install the window by himself. When the windows were installed, Stefan as they were finishing up explained how we should take care of the windows. As he was describe what, how, and why, I started noticing the window frames. Their structure looked very solid compared to other window designs I had seen at other retail locations. One of the other facts about Stefan and his crew, it took them only a few hours to get all the windows and everything in our home clean up. We were told by other vendors that our window project would take up most of the day. So I say try out E. V. Windows & Doors.....and enjoy the Ukrainian work experience. It will be a most interesting and wonderful experience.“
“Top-notch sliding installation! Efficient, skilled team. Our house looks brand new. Highly recommend for a flawless and transformative siding experience.“
“We have hired First Siding twice this year to repair attic siding gaps created by critters. Each time we have been satisfied and impressed by their work and would not hesitate to hire them again!
They set and delivering to customer expectations from estimating to completion of contracted work:
- Communications are prompt, via owner, Jerry.
- They keep their appointments and let us know when schedule adjustments need to be made.
- We are not experts, but they appear to develop and install long term solutions using quality materials, skills, and execution.
- They are considerate of people and property, including post work cleanup.
Their rates are reasonable.“

“Tony and Janusz did a fantastic job installing our storm doors. They look great, arrived on schedule, and the new cappings are nice and tight.“
“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.“
“We have been very pleased with the work done by C & R Roofing. They replaced the roof above our fourth floor a few years ago so when it came time to replace our main roof, we naturally called them to do the job. The owner, Mike, is easy to get in contact with and responds quickly to any questions or concerns. Their workers were very professional, performed the work in a timely matter, and most importantly cleaned up. We highly recommend C & R Roofing!! Thank you for keeping our home dry!!“
“Tony is knowledgable, helpful, honest, professional... everything you look for when dealing with projects for your home. Highly recommended!“
“Beyond our expectations - Highly recommended 5+ Stars. From the time we met Tom and received the quote then worked with Mark and Leann on scheduling our 3 fixed Velux Skylight Replacements with Solar Powered Light Filtering white shades to our existing 30yr old Velux Skylights with alum blinds. On installation day the crew (Dave, Martin, Julio, and Jorge) were very knowledgeable, professional, kept the work area clean throughout the entire job and communicated with us how things were going. The entire work area was cleaned inside and outside. Awesome crew! In summary, we could not be any happier with the top-notch professionalism, communication, coordination and installation of our 3 fixed Velux Skylights that were exceptional throughout the entire process. Thanks Tom, Mark, Leann, Dave, Martin, Julio, and Jorge for everything. We greatly appreciate everything you did for us! Referrals will come your way from us. All the best!“

“Steve, Alex, John and the entire installation crew are wonderful to deal with. First Steve (the President) came to our house, discussed our siding options and presented us with his personal design ideas to really make our house pop. He succeeded beyond our expectations. We chose the James Hardie fibercement siding. The entire exterior has transformed into a home to be proud of with enhanced curb appeal. John and the installation crew showed up on time and stayed until the sun set every day. They also cleaned up every day. Their attention to detail and quality really stood out to my wife and I. If you need siding, windows, etc contact Nu Concepts and you will not be disappointed.“

“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.“
“After asking friends and looking through reviews I contacted RJN company to look at my roof. Richard the owner walked me through the process explaining all differences in material that will be used to replace my old shingles. Installation went well, the crew was attentive and courteous to my wife and I. Appreciate the job that was done at my house. Call RJN and you won't be disappointed“
