Constraction reviews in Chicago, Illinois

We found GZ Developments through online reviews and could not be happier with our experience. George was clear and timely in his communications with us, his bid was competitive, and the quality of finished work was excellent. George knew that we were on a limited budget and worked with us to figure out cost-effective solutions. At the same time, he didn't cut any corners and made sure that the work we had agreed to was done right. Unlike past experiences we've had with contractors, George and everyone he brought into our home were considerate and respectful of our space. He and his team remodeled a closet, installed new garage doors, did tuckpointing/masonry work, painted the exterior of our home and garage, demolished and built a deck/porch, and installed new fireplace tiles. We're thrilled with the finished work on our historic home, which exceeded expectations, and grateful for how positive all of our exchanges were with George and his entire team.

We had to have our primary shower completed retiled. George was recommended to us by a friend and he was great to work with. Came out to give a quote very quickly, and the quote was very detailed and informational. Once we decided to move forward, George was very detail oriented and wanted to make sure we were happy with all the materials and designs going into the shower. Once the work started, George & team were very respectful of our space and took the right amount of time to make sure the job was done right. We're very happy with the shower!

Best part of their service is their honesty, due diligence and quality of work. We purchased a condo for my parents but the bathrooms were very outdated. They remodeled both my bathrooms all within the schedule as planned, while also complying and working with the rules of the HOA. I also had plumbing done as well as installed brand new low water shut offs everywhere there was plumbing. Prices were more than fair, and the General Contractor always kept communication open. I had no issues, he provided many options with clear breakdown of costs while also maintaining the quality of the material to what my family and I wanted.

Buyer beware! I wouldn't recommend doing business with GZ Developments. After my recent remodel, l experienced first hand the lack of professionalism, determination to cut corners on materials, ignore details and install things incorrectly. Several items were installed incorrectly which forced me to hire my own professionals to fix their mistakes. Examples; range hood was installed using different sized pipes, dishwasher wasn’t secured correctly, the toilet and cabinets were also installed incorrectly. One cabinet is actually installed backwards leaving an opening in the back behind the dishwasher.

This project ended up costing almost double what was originally quoted. When asked to share project expenses, the response was "our software can't do that". The lack of transparency, knowledge and attention to detail have ended up costing me more even after the project was completed.

GZ Developments is unlike any other contractor my lady and I have ever work with. They took their time to understand our lifestyle and our priorities. Guided us to help make the best decisions for ourselves throughout the renovation of our high rise Lakeview condo. Never once did I feel as if my project and my needs were not prioritized. When I called, George always answered. No matter how many questions I had for him he never allowed us to feel as if we were out of line. His approach on site began with direct oversight which lasted consecutively until the completion of the our renovation. He managed the material/equipment logistics within our building, cooperating with the HOA’s building management, and inspected his team’s work daily. Kept their overall environment clean and organized. They came up with a plan and worked their plan to a successful finish. No more nasty popcorn ceilings and water damaged flooring for us. I got to come home one day to a completely transformed space of new paint colors, kitchen, bathrooms, ceilings, and flooring. Lastly, I have to mention that George was driven by the vision we all came up with and executed it with our own personalized intentions- top of mind. Thank you George and team! You guys rock!

If you're looking for a builder who takes planning seriously and delivers a smooth, well-managed project, I'd recommend them without hesitation.

We hired George and his team for a full renovation, and the experience was completely different from any contractor we've worked with before. From the start, he approached the project with a clear plan, realistic budgeting, and a structured preconstruction phase that helped us understand exactly what we were getting into before any work began.

What stood out most was the level of organization and communication. Every decision was explained, timelines were clear, and we always knew what the next step was. There were no surprises, no guesswork, and no disappearing acts--just steady, professional progress.

The craftsmanship was excellent, but more importantly, the process felt controlled and thoughtful from beginning to end. George was on site, involved, and detail-oriented. He treated our home with respect and made sure everything was done the right way, not just the fast way.

Working with GZ Developments on our bathroom remodel was an excellent experience from start to finish. From the initial meeting, it was clear that the team took the time to understand our vision and approached the project with a high level of care, professionalism, and attention to detail. Communication was clear throughout the process, the work was well-organized, and the craftsmanship truly shows in the final result. Our newly finished bathroom exceeded our expectations!
