General Contractor reviews in Chicago, Illinois

Stephanie recently completed a kitchen and bath remodel in our home. Her professionalism and energetic approach were evident throughout the process. Guiding us step by step, she and her hard-working crew demonstrated respect for our home and schedule. The project was completed in a timely manner, and the outstanding end result speaks for itself.

We used 123 remodeling for our first ever home project and they made it an amazing experience! Brenna and Adan were always friendly and communicative. They made our dream kitchen possible and we couldn’t be happier. We will definitely return to them if we upgrade anything else in our house. Thank you guys!!

I contacted a number of contractors to provide quotes for the gut renovation of a luxury condo in the Gold Coast neighborhood of Chicago. From the start of the process, the team at 123 Remodeling was professional and transparent.

Ariel was very supportive and spent multiple Saturdays and evenings helping us select materials and reviewing the progress of construction. The project included a kitchen and bath rehab, wallpaper removal and painting, hardwood/tile flooring installation, and framing/drywall throughout. The quality of the work allowed me to rent the unit within a few weeks - in the middle of the Chicago winter and for a reasonable rate!

I would highly recommend this hardworking and honest team. I look forward to working with 123 on the next project.

We recently renovated our house which included kitchen and bathrooms work. The 123 remodeling team was professional and great to work with. We are very happy with the results and already recommended them to others in our neighborhood.

We worked with 123 Remodeling and Brenna to redo our main bathroom (thought it is small...) We had some unique work arounds needed due to the limitations of the space, and Brenna and her team helped us design a beautiful space that we love! The materials used are high quality and the workmanship is excellent. Good communication and most things went as planned. Highly recommeng. This was our first experience getting any major home repairs done and it was a wonderful one!

We moved to a new house and needed a new kitchen and new bathrooms.
The design team was easy to work with and they walked us through the entire process. The price was great.
We are very happy with the results and we will definitely use them in the future.

Had a great experience working with Lior and the team. That was our biggest Remodeling project we ever did so we were a little bit worried at the beginning, but thanks to everyone at 123 Everything Was very organized and smooth.

We recently remodeled our kitchen and bathroom with 123 Remodeling; it has been a complete transformation and we are SO happy with the results. We decided earlier this year that we needed to do this work on our home. After extensive research and interviews / quotes from many other companies, we decided on 123 and we are SO glad we did! Cara was our Project Manager and helped with design as well. She was AMAZING. We met in-person back in May and we just clicked. She was so easy to work with. She was extremely communicative, professional, and completely understood my vision. She helped us balance the needs of our family and our budget. Deciding on cabinets was probably the biggest decision and Cara was helpful and supportive the whole way through! Though the cabinets (Boxi) were more of a challenge than we had anticipated, Cara and the 123 team were fantastic. Everything came out beautifully! The 123 crew went above and beyond in both the kitchen and the bathroom; their craftsmanship and attention to detail was stellar. We came in both on time and on budget. For us, the both the bathroom and kitchen took about 6 weeks. I highly recommend 123 Remodeling - they were fantastic to work with, professional with great craftsmanship. Our spaces look like a million dollars and were within our budget. I almost want to redo more of our space just so we can work with Cara, Raul, and the rest of the team again!

It was a pleasure to work with both Stephanie and Raul throughout the entirety of our renovation. They were very responsive and accommodating to any changes we wanted to make, as well as additions that came up along the way. Stephanie has a great understanding for what you’re hoping to accomplish and ensures you get exactly that. We couldn’t be happier with the end result!

We recently completed a kitchen and dining room remodel with 123 Remodeling, and the experience was fantastic. Collaborating with them was a pleasure as they crafted a detailed plan, coordinating seamlessly with our architect on blueprints and design. Our new kitchen has exceeded our expectations, and we 100% recommend their services.

Angie’s thoughtful advice & attention to detail made our kitchen & bathroom remodel a great experience. Her designs were very thorough taking full use of all available space. We are thrilled with our timeless, elegant spaces and we highly recommend her.

We used 123 Remodeling for our master bathroom and they were amazing!! Kelsey and Shelby were so great giving us advice on style based on our requests. They were responsive and proactive in making sure the project stayed on track and communicated with us regularly. Kelsey has a great relationship with the construction crew and made us feel comfortable during the 6 week timeframe they gave us. Would highly recommend 123 Remodeling to everyone!

We worked with Stephanie and Kamil to achieve the kitchen of our dreams (and turn the former kitchen of our 130+ year old home into a large dining room) and we could not be more satisfied with the results! I'm not sure where these dissatisfied reviews are coming from but I can say they absolutely delivered the highest quality results we requested at a great value (and relatively on-time). Not only were Stephanie (the project manager) and Kamil (the on-site daily crew leader) a true delight to work with, but their crew members were also very pleasant, skilled, knowledgeable and capable. We have worked with 4 or 5 other contractors on miscellaneous projects since we bought this house 5 years ago, and 123 is the only contractor we've worked with who we would hire again for future projects - they delivered high-quality results at a reasonable value.

Our work was directly with Kelsey and "The Miguels", the father and son team doing most of the work.
We found it easy and quick to arrive at a design we agreed to and were able to refine the work along the way without any hidden "gotcha" fees. Kelsey did a good job of staying on top of the work and regularly communicating with us.
The Miguels were thoughtful, thorough, and most importantly, particular about the work aesthetic and quality that was delivered. My building staff remarked as to how polite they were, how well they cleaned up after themselves, as well and friendly. I believe they have been approached by staff to do work for them as well.
Of course there were hiccups along the way. But Kelsey and Miguel were very good about addressing them head on.
We would definitely hire them again.

I highly recommend 123 Remodeling for kitchen and bathroom renovations. Their designer Kelsey came up with creative solutions for both spaces incorporating our input and requirements. She was very attentive to details throughout the whole process. The workmen were skilled and respectful and followed the project plan flawlessly. We love the outcome and appreciate the support from 123's staff during the process.

123 Remodeling renovated my master bathroom. The home was built in the 1960's and there were a lot of challenges with uneven walls and floors, pipes being too close to the surface of the floor, etc. They helped come up with creative solutions to address these challenge without spending additional money. One tip I'd give anyone working with this team is that during re-model a lot of questions come up. A homeowner needs to be available to answer them so the decision that are made are agreed on by everyone. Working with them in this way, 123 did a very nice job and I've been pleased with my new bathroom.

Angie was an amazing designer! She helped us through every step of the way during our kitchen remodel. She was always open to our ideas and provided honest feedback. Our kitchen turned out better than we could have ever expected!

I recently hired 123 Remodeling for a kitchen renovation, and the experience exceeded my expectations in every way. From the initial consultation to the final touches, their team demonstrated great professionalism and craftsmanship. They listened carefully to my ideas and provided valuable insights that enhanced the overall design. The project was completed on time and within budget. I would use 123 Remodeling again for other projects around my home.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Exceptional Bathroom Remodel by 123 Remodeling & Kelly Shanks

I couldn’t be happier with my experience working with 123 Remodeling and Kelly Shanks as my Designer and Project Manager. From start to finish, Kelly was professional, creative, and incredibly attentive. She took my vision for a dream bathroom and not only brought it to life but elevated it with thoughtful recommendations.

This was a complex project due to the age of the building, but the execution was flawless. Any delays were solely due to product lead times—not 123 Remodeling. Kelly kept everything on track with excellent communication and fast response times (often within 10 minutes!), which made a huge difference in reducing stress.

The workmanship was outstanding, with exceptional attention to detail. Unexpected challenges, like a hidden concrete slab under the old tub and the need for a rear-injection toilet, were handled swiftly and professionally. The final result? A master bathroom beyond my expectations.

If you're looking for a dedicated, knowledgeable, and highly responsive professional, I highly recommend Kelly Shanks and 123 Remodeling. They turned a stressful process into an enjoyable one, and I now have the bathroom of my dreams!

We worked with Stephanie and Leo at 123 Remodeling for our gut-rehab of our master bathroom, and they were great to work with. Stephanie made the design process super easy for us. Choosing design options can be pretty overwhelming with the 1000s of choices out there and it was great that Stephanie gave us a range of options and easily come up with more options for us based on our feedback. I feel like no one says they have a good experience with remodelling their space, but 123 Remodel made it simple and stress free. We trusted them to work on our project the days we were out of town and they were on target with their initial time estimate.

There is always something that doesn’t go to plan when remodelling, when that happened with us Leo’s team came by right away and fixed the issue.

We decided to go with 123 Remodelling as they are a full service operation. They do all the ordering for you, liaise with all the vendors and contractors, sort out any needed returns/exchanges - and honestly this was so great.

We would recommend and are very happy with our new bathroom!

The 123 Remodeling team did a fantastic job remodeling two bathrooms in my home. Angie provided design and project management expertise and turned my rough plans into reality, from finalizing the layouts to selecting tile, lighting, paint colors -- everything. She has a great eye and sense for how things will fit together. And no detail was too small -- she cared as much about things like grout color as she did about the big items, like tile. She also helped keep the project rolling on schedule, and was super responsive to all my many texts and emails. Leo and his team did the construction work and were exceptional. They are highly experienced and were able and (importantly) willing to give advice when our plans weren't optimal for the space. The tile -- even the herringbone pattern -- was done impeccably. Leo was also incredibly patient when I changed my mind a few times, and the project was still completed within the timeframe they initially gave me! I really couldn't be happier. I received a bid from another contractor for this project that was a little less expensive, but I'm so, so glad I chose 123. They were worth every penny.
