Arete Renovators Inc.
Home Builders & Construction Companies in Des Plaines.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars28 January 2015
“My husband and I have used Arete Renovators on several occasions to remodel rental property and to remodel the master bathroom in our home. They were accessible throughout the projects and provided design recommendations, as needed. There was an open line of communications and the projects were completed within the timeline we discussed. We recommend Arete Renovators, Inc. to friends and family and we will use them again in the future.”
Platinum Touch Industries LLC
Home Builders & Construction Companies in Des Plaines.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars26 March 2018
“When you contact Platinum Touch, they will send people out who will be comfortable, concerned with your needs, and don’t make claims they cannot meet. As you go through the process, the people you meet will be professional and courteous. In the end, you have a well completed project.” We are very pleased with Platinum Touch. Vince listened on our first meeting and came back with what we asked, when we thought some more and the ability to express what I wanted and how we were going to use it, the designed adapted perfectly. The team was respectful of our budget and also of our needs as we stayed in our home during the construction process. There were no cost surprises or construction delays. The quality of the finished project is wonderful.”

New Explode Construction
Home Builders & Construction Companies in Des Plaines.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars13 August 2014
“New Explode Construction Saved the Project! I don't write many reviews and did so this time because Sebastian Micle, Owner of New Explode Construction, went above and beyond the call of duty. I tried to save money on some electrical work as well as a kitchen & bathroom remodel. The original contractors made many mistakes and left the place a mess. I had a tight deadline and New Explode came in and fixed all the work and then proceeded to perform several other improvements to my condo. Sebastian stands apart from most of the contractors I have worked with because he has the highest integrity and will always give you a fair and honest assessment of the situation. More importantly, his word is his bond and he always stands behind his work. I give him my unconditional recommendation and will be using him for my projects in the future. Michael Gremley CEO, VoicePrism”
Gander Builders
Home Builders & Construction Companies in Des Plaines.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars22 February 2013
“Gander Builders was an exceptional choice for our custom home. Steve Lecas was extremely generous with his time during lot selection and the design process. During construction, Steve was incredibly responsive, oversaw every detail, inspired and encouraged creative ideas, and was always positve; he never cracked under the pressure we put on him. Steve's wife, Susan, was especially helpful in filtering for us the abundance of design choices and selections that go into a custom home. We could not have devoted the time to the selection and design process without Susan's tireless assistance and artistic input. The result of Gander Builders' work: a home that meets our needs and warms our hearts. Steve and Sue really created a work of art for us to live in, unique to us.”

The team at A. Perry Homes had a shared passion for our project and added significant value through their creative design ideas, their relationships with contractors and suppliers and their interior design specialists.

They also obtain the necessary permits.

A good builder has skills that go far beyond construction — he or she must supervise subcontractors and artisans; keep tabs on Des Plaines, IL zoning regulations, building codes and other legalities; inspect work for problems along the way; and perform dozens of other roles that are essential in building a quality house. Here are some related professionals and vendors to complement the work of home builders & construction companies: Interior Designers & Decorators, Landscape Architects & Landscape Designers, Architects & Building Designers, Kitchen & Bath Designers, Specialty Contractors.
