Home Services reviews in Chicago, Illinois

We first worked with Reveal Design in 2023 when Sean designed both our front garden (which had previously been referred to as the dirt patch) and our back deck. Before meeting with Sean, we had worked with another designer who had taken exactly what we had thought we wanted and created a design that ultimately proved uninstallable and boy are we glad that was the case. We gave Sean a vague sense of what we were looking for, how we planned to use the space, and a few must haves (like creating a snow cover on our back deck) and he ran with it! I could never have envisioned the beautiful design he came up with, but as soon as we saw it we fell in love.

During the installation and design process, Sean and his team were very communicative and organized and checked with us at each decision point. Even though they were there working every day and both my husband and I work from home, they were so quiet and respectful we barely noticed they were there (except for the glorious garden and deck that they were leaving behind). Sean also came to the site periodically to check on the progress and spotted small fixes I would never have noticed. At the end of the day, our garden and deck were truly stunning but more importantly they were comfortable and usable spaces that jived with and enhanced the interior of our home - a true room outside.

Fast forward to 2024 and we had found a new home that was not fully built yet. Nearly the first thing that we did was to tell the developer for the new house that he could tell his landscaper to kick bricks because we were only interested in working with Reveal once again! Sean immediately made time in his schedule for us and, once again, produced an absolute banger of a design for our front yard, garage deck, roof deck, and (my favorite) our glass-enclosed atrium. Much like the first time, the design and installation process have been a joy and we are so happy to once again be living in a Reveal Design garden!

Don't bother talking to anyone else, Reveal Design is the best in Chicago! Your garden will thank you.

Sean and the team at Reveal Design have been fantastic to work with. Three years ago, they revitalized our Lincoln Park backyard living space and gave it life after we recently moved into a new home. The backyard was comprised of old stone, two massive pine trees that took up space and limited its usability. Reveal helped us design a modern living area, remove the trees, add bluestone and turf, and an electronic pergola to entertain and use the outside space for much of the year. The before-and-after pictures are not comparable!

Recently, an animal dug a hole under our elevated backyard, displacing enough soil to interrupt our turf. Reveal came out, diagnosed the issue, and repaired it within a couple of days.

We are grateful. When shit happens, you need good partners!

We started working with Reveal in 2020 for a total redesign of our back and side yards, including trees, grass, plantings, hardscapes, lighting, and a water feature. We appreciated the way Sean and team worked with us to create the right design. This was particularly important because our backyard is a small, confined area, and our vision was a series of connected outdoor rooms. This was designed and executed perfectly. The design was great, but the execution exceeded our expectations. The crews were responsible, flexible, and showed up when they said they would. The next year we engaged Reveal to redo our front yard, including trees, plantings, grass, an update to our driveway and reimagined front porch and walkway. Again, the design was great and the execution was flawless. I would not hesitate to most highly recommend Sean and the Reveal team for your landscaping needs.

We love our new backyard deck/s (3 different levels) which has now turned into an active extension of our home. The space is lived in 9+ months out of year with an additional living space, heaters, and privacy.

Reveal has top of the line products in addition to the fact we were able to design our own metal gate and panel to create a beyond customize look and feel.

They are professional and easy to work with. We are happy with our deck renovation.

Reveal Design did the design and built our deck and pergola, and completely redesigned our whole backyard.

Sean Kelly knew exactly what I was talking about when we talked on the phone months ago. I had a vision and he understood what I was talking about and he/Reveal Design delivered that vision and more. It solidified that vision by going to their offices on Carroll Street so that my husband and I could see the different types of pergolas. The idea was to have a little bit of Europe in our backyard! I am so pleased.

Bree Ringe was our designer for the job. She was creative and very talented. I didn’t know what to expect but I trusted Bree and Reveal Design. She has always been so accommodating and her capacity to listen and deliver amazes me.

The whole team and Francis especially have been amazing. I love our backyard - and as I sit here now, I am on the deck, having my coffee, just as I envisioned. So thank you to the whole team. Everyone has been amazing. I cannot say enough good things about the company, the designs, and vision.

Have been working with reveal almost the last year to design and build our roofdeck and backyard area. It was a longer process because reveal took the time to edit plans until we had one that fit both our budgets and the functionality we were looking for. As issues arose (which I’m sure every construction project has issues), they were able to pivot with creative ideas that may have actually made the space better than originally planned. All of the crews that were onsite were very clean and respectful. Everyone in the company had been a pleasure to work with. Would highly recommend reveal design.

Working with Sean and the Reveal Design team was a great experience. The Pratic pergola they installed completely changed how we use our outdoor space. Honestly, it turned out even nicer than we expected. We were a little nervous about the price, and while the process took some time, it was absolutely worth the wait. The end result speaks for itself.

The lighting, motorized screens, heaters, and clean lines make it feel like a true extension of the house. Sean was hands-on throughout and made sure every detail was right. We use the space every day and get compliments all the time. Highly recommend.

Sean and his team helped us build our dream garage roof deck in 2021. Not only is it still our favorite part of our entire home, but we cannot say enough wonderful things about this company, the way they work, and how dedicated they are to their craftsmanship and quality of product... even today, four years later! Any issue or concern that we've had through the years, Reveal has responded promptly, ready to help. The process of desinging and building the deck was just plain fun, and if we had to do it all again, we would choose Reveal 100 times over.

Excelente servicio gran calidad y desempeño en el trabajo precios muy accesibles y sobre todo muy puntuales.. love the outcome.. will recommend this 💯💯💯

Great team, super work

Excellent service, prompt, friendly, professional.

Great Quality Services, Professional and Over Exceed Expectations.

Jose has been great to work with over the last few months.

Jose did an excellent job for a great price. I’ll continue to use his services down the line.

Absolutely phenomenal job! Super punctual and were great explaining the process and giving us different options. Would 10/10 recommend to anyone I know.

Jose responded to my call immediately so I changed the bad review I originally gave his company and apologized..

I had loads of snow on my roof and Superior Lawn Care Took Care Of Me They Took Snow Off My Roof And Gutters That Way I Wouldnt Have Ice Dams. Something Not To do with lawns but they still took care of me, ThankYou Jose.

Jose at Superior Lawn was excellent to work with. He was informative, responsive and provided a high quality landscaping solution for my front yard. My neighbors are saying I have the most beautiful front yard on the block.

Used these guys throughout 2023 without any issue. Then they started the 2024 season for lawncare and serviced my property 1 time. 2 weeks went by and I never saw them again. Reached out to the owner 3 times and they never responded back to me just ghosted. If my property was out of their route they could have at least let me know

Superior Lawn quoted me the cheapest price after searching high and low for someone to put Sod and mulch down in my backyard. They literally Completed my backyard in a handful of hours, after I was certain it would be a 2-3 days worth of work. I would recommend their services in a heartbeat.

After a broken lawnmower my lawn was only mowed 1x this summer. Image the weeds & growth. Superior did an awesome job clearing & mowing. Also cleared some old debris. See you guys in 2 weeks. Highly recommend.
