Reviews of local pros in Broadview, Illinois

Dunne Cleaning Specialists really stood out as they got back to me quickly, answered my questions and were very easy to work with. They cleaned most of the heavy stains out of my silk/wool rug and I was really happy with their work. I would gladly use them again and recommend them to my friends!

I personally have used Dunne Cleaning Specialists for 9 years, 2 of those have been in the professional cleaning aspect.
I loath having to make an appointment for a supplier to come and take care of the task, thankfully, Dunne is not like every other supplier! Always prompt and very understanding of my time as well.
The cleaning crew they have is kind and seem to work very well together.
Highly recommend Dunne Cleaning Specialists!

This was our first time using Dunne and we were very happy. They cleaned four rooms of carpet, an area rug and a couch. They were polite and very efficient. The cleaning job looks great. We will definitely use them again.

Had them clean our carpets in our store that were in desperate need of help and I am so incredibly pleased with the results. First the consult - the owner came so quickly and gave an absolutely unbeatable quote. I was getting quotes everywhere else for upwards of $800 - dunnes was less than half that! It took less than 2 hours? So quick, so prompt - did such a good job. When I pointed out some small furniture I wanted moved and cleaned Sebastian & the awesome other young man with him pulled out the hose & got right to it - apologizing! It was my fault I went to grab food & didn’t communicate it well! The quality of work is absolutely impeccable I did not think I’d ever be seeing my floors this clean since we opened 2 years ago!

They’ve got my business as long as they are around!! I couldn’t recommend them more!

I used Dunne Cleaning Specialists for the first time. I was not disappointed! The first day they came out and cleaned my air ducts and vents. The second day they came and cleaned my carpets. Both employees were professional and performed their services to my satisfaction. I highly recommend giving them a try!

Fantastic service and great people! I have used Dunne Cleaning Specialists for my carpet several times over the past few years, and they have always done a great job. They are on time, thorough, do an excellent job with the cleaning, make suggestions and answer questions, and leave everything in order when they are done. I also recently had several area rugs cleaned by them, and every one of them looked amazing. This is a family-run business, and every single person I have ever spoken with is very friendly and knowledgeable and they care about their customers and doing a great job. I HIGHLY recommend using Dunne Cleaning Specialists for any service your need! They are top notch!!!

Professional, experienced, knowledgeable, listens to your ideas and enhances each vision, prompt responses, on budget. Mitch, Kanya, Jen and their whole team gave their time and expertise to all aspects of the project at hand and others. No project is without hiccups, but the difference is Stratagem's communication, explanations, and follow-up. Will be contacting them for future projects.

We have now worked with Strategem for two separate projects (updating an entire two bedroom and two bathroom condo, including refinishing the flooring) and have been very happy. This was a significant investment, but we are extremely happy we made it and choose Habitar/Strategem. We found the process from start to finish to be very transparent and clearly communicated. Customer service was outstanding. Both jobs were on-time and on-budget.

Process and cost: Mitch was very clear up front with the range of costs for the projects and both the estimate and final billing included details of both materials and labor. This allowed for clear communication about costs and options for ways to reduce cost and what we could expect from the change to our plan.

Construction: The team on-site each time communicated clearly about the timeline and progress, when certain things would occur and orchestrated all of the pieces of the process for us, including the movers when it was time to refinish the floors. When something unexpected came up, they communicated with us about options and expectations of the result. If we wanted something changed, they modified it until we were happy with the result.

The team was exceptional and we would highly recommend them!

Very professional work done

Strategem is outstanding. Gut remodel of two bathrooms was fast and efficient. They are true artisans and their attention to detail shows.

Stratagem is fantastic. Renovated two adjoining condo units into a 2-bedroom unit with new master bath. Happy with the work and their attention to detail..

The job involved complete design and remodeling of a 2200 square foot condominium, encompassing three bedrooms, two full baths, living room, dining room, kitchen, and sun room. It included a complete set of drawings and plans specific enough for bidding; space reconfiguration and planning; selection of colors, trims, and fixtures; sourcing of all materials, fixtures, and appliances; a detailed lighting plan; customized built-in shelving and entertainment center in the living room; and customized radiator covers, three of which double as additional storage.

This project evolved from patching and repairing to remodeling to complete renovation. We came to realize that we needed a designer--somebody to draw up a detailed plan, help us reduce the apparently infinite number of decisions we had to make, and lend some thematic consistency to the project. We did not have a strong vision of what we wanted, and we are not by nature very decisive. Kapan asked enough questions to help us identify the style and mood we wanted but were unable to articulate and reduced our decision making to a tolerable amount. She herself has a strong artistic vision and occasionally pressed us to add more visual interest. What we got in the end is beautiful and elegant, respectful of the Arts and Crafts history of the building, but updated and modernized. We quickly designed ourselves beyond our initial budget projections, but Kapan worked with partner Mitchell Newman of Strategem Builders who added many nice ideas of his own and served as a sounding board to help us economize where possible without making sacrifices to the design.

We worked with Stratagem to come up with a detailed plan for a complete renovation. We opened and closed some doorways and closets to reconfigure closet space, and reconfigured the kitchen space to improve its efficiency. We spent a good deal more time on planning than on construction, but we wanted to make all our design decisions up front to avoid slowing down the work.

They were also terrifically efficient during the demolition phase to avoid inconveniencing our neighbors in our six-flat. As with any renovation in an old building, there were plumbing and electrical surprises underneath when the walls came down, but the team were resourceful and creative in finding elegant solutions.

Mitch staged the work for smooth implementation, working closely with the plumbing and electrical and construction crews. He was present throughout the construction, met with us on-site weekly, communicated regularly, and shared decision-making with us prudently. He met every deadline and there were no last minute surprises. They were very responsive after the construction was completed about returning to make small adjustments and add finishing touches.

Master craftsman Krysztof Jachum executed Kapan's elegant designs meticulously. Actually, to say that he "executed" the designs understates his contribution. He appears to be able to work with any material and added many little features in the finishing that made the space more elegant and grand. Kapan had designed radiator covers and built-in bookshelves, which we had not asked for and initially chose not to build in order to save some money. But we ultimately saw what they would add and we're very glad we had them built. The radiator covers double as bathroom and bedroom cabinets to add storage space. Krysztof supplemented the original designs with his own creative contributions and the result surpassed our expectations. He can do anything, and he does it all with great care and style.

They are not cheap - they know what they are worth. But they are expert, professional, and take great pride in creating beautiful living spaces. There are many contractors who can manage small jobs, but if your project has any scale to it, you need to work with a team like this.

We worked with Strategem and Habitar for our basement bar build-out. Zane and his team did a fantastic job. They were easy to work with, flexible and we received great results. We would definitely recommend them for any design project in the Chicago-land area.

They really transformed my bathroom and kitchen into something chic and modern. The tile work is meticulous and elevates the bathroom, and the stone counters in the kitchen brighten up the whole space. Beautiful work! Highly recommend.

Strategem did an excellent job in guiding me through the construction process of living in a high rise building. Given my busy schedule, they even worked directly with my condo association, and made the construction process feel effortless. Would definitely recommend!

Excellent quality craftsmanship. All of the work was performed in accordance with the design, and Nick provided updates along the course of the construction. The work was finished on time and on budget. I recommend Stratagem to anybody considering updating/renovating their home.

I would highly recommend Strategem and Habitar Design. I used them to upgrade doors, trim, and woodwork through my home. The contractors were very respectful and neat while they worked, and they ensured every detail was perfect. I'm very happy with the results, and have received many compliments. They offered a great turnkey solution, from start to finish.

We're planning to renovate our living room into modern design. Our interior design was old and some furniture and cabinets were already broken and needed to be fixed. We save a lot of money to come up with this. One of our family friends suggested this company and they even showed a picture of their living room and room. It was pretty and amazing. I called the number and a guy answered. He is quite good and our communication was good. They visit us and look in our living room. They even showed some examples of design. But we had a prepared design and he said that it was pretty cool and nice. They start renovating it and it tooks 5 days till it's done. Were so amazed by the output and were very happy and satisfied with their work.

I highly recommend Stratagem Construction and I would use their services again in a heartbeat. We recently had 2 bathrooms remodeled, the addition of another bathroom and a fireplace remodel WHILE we were living in the home.
From start to finish, the project was done right thanks to excellent construction management and hardworking, courteous and clean contractors.
Brandon was our project manager and he was pleasant to work with, very attentive to our project, and paid excellent attention to details. If there was any problem, large or small, it was taken care of in a timely manner until it was fixed. We love our new bathrooms and would use Stratagem again for any future projects.

Strategem did an significant remodel of our place (including bathrooms) and did a fantastic job. They used high quality materials and were able to work with some of the quirky features of our building. We are still getting compliments about the work years later. Mitch is great to work with and, best of all, is transparent about pricing and decision-making, particularly when any unforeseen events arise. For a contractor, that alone is worth it's weight in gold.

We've hired Stratagem and their sister design company for two big renovation jobs in our old two flat greystone over the past two years. They did an excellent job both times, both in the design phase and the construction phase with Stratagem. They did a complete gut rehab of our large master bathroom, and after that job was such an astounding success, we hired them to rehab our 1st floor bathroom, our 1st floor kitchen, install overhead lighting throughout the house, revamp our foyer and install new hardwood flooring throughout our entire 2nd floor, along with a host of other rehab projects thrown in. All big jobs, and stressful for us, but they handled everything with ease and the utmost professionalism. Hannah is excellent on the design side of things, Nick is the best project manager you could hope for (excellent communication, follow up, and logistical management), and all of the contractors do top notch work, are very professional, are respectful of the job site, and are just all-around nice guys. We fully recommend Stratagem with no hesitation. They are the best.
