All reviews for Sonin Construction

Phenomenal customer service and communication; we would hire Sonin Construction again for even bigger projects in a heartbeat. Highly recommend.

Timely response to my initial inquiry for a front porch rebuild, quick estimate, quick job completion, good work, good communication and customer service.

Will have the company do more work for us in the future.

Nelson was very quick to reply when I requested a quote, attentive through the whole project and had his team out quickly. Work was done on schedule and very well. Its hard these days to find folks that stay true to their word, are honest and a pleasure to do business with. Thanks Nelson!!

Nelson was great to work with! Always on time, reliable and flexible. He showed up at the time he said he would and was efficient in getting the job done. We love our bathrooms!

Sonin construction was great to work with. They completed a complete demolition and rebuild of my front porch and side stairs. They were quick, efficient, and easy to communicate with. They answered any questions I had quickly with email, text, and/or phone. When I had questions about the contract, they were quick to go over it with me and assuage and confusion. Overall, I was very pleased with the finished product as well.

Sonin construction did an excellent work! The workers were very professional and focused on the work. Nelson gave me good advice about the project and how we can expound on it so we can save money in the long run.

I had my old crumbling cement porch taken out and a beautiful covered porch built. Nelson is very responsive, and the whole thing was done in record time, thanks to the crew who worked very hard and very long hours (and I was fortunate my permit was issued quickly and the village inspector was available when we needed him). Some minor adjustments had to be made when it was finished, and they were done really nicely and quickly.

Can not say enough about Nelson and his amazing crew! They created a small kids room for us in a matter of days! They showed up every day on time and never left a mess. Beautiful work and even custom matched our 100 year old trim. The room looks like it was always there. Sonin gets a 5 🌟 rating from me.

Nelson and his crew performed an amazing work at my home. I got my basement finished, adding an office, TV room and restroom. They were fast, highly professional, quiet and clean throughout the construction. I got also a deck installed in my backyard that looks amazing. The price was fair and the time estimate was respected. I highly recommend them!

I highly recommend Nelson Ameer at Sonin Construction. He recently completed a complete bathroom remodel in our Oak Park residence. We are very pleased with the results in terms of the design and functionality. He communicated with us very well and kept us up-to-date and didn’t make it any more complicated than what it needs to be. Nelson took our designs and concepts and made some good design and construction recommendations. Price was competitive and half of one bidder who wanted to make the project more complicated than it needed to be. Project was completed on schedule

Great Experience getting a back deck added on. Nelson was quick and communicative. He stopped in multiple times a day to confer with the subs who were also very professional. Was able to understand my vision for the space and even had few great ideas of his own we ended up implementing. Construction went non-stop until the job was completed, and he even came by a few weeks after to make sure everything was settling correctly and made a few adjustments. Would absolutely use Sonin again.

Working in real estate development, I’ve had a lot of interaction with contractors. Sonin Construction is by far one of the best! Nelson, the owner of Sonin, provided me with a quote for replacement of my back deck. His bid came in lower than two others I had received. Even better, he was able to start the job within two days. I had a beautiful new deck installed within four days of receiving an estimate. Nelson is local (Oak Park area) which is a plus in case there are any unexpected issues. I will definitely hire Sonin for future projects - you should, too!!

Absolutely fantastic work by Sonin Construction! They put in a new support beam to open up our living room, dining room, and kitchen for an open concept. They also extended our hardwood floors into the kitchen and refinished all of our hardwood floors on the first floor, including a few repair spots. Everything looks amazing! Nelson and his team even worked through the holiday to be finished before we moved in. Nelson is always prompt to reply and very easy to work with. Looking forward to using Sonin Construction again in the future!

We recently did a gut renovation of a bathroom with Sonin and we had a marvelous experience. Nelson and Morgan made the process very straightforward and were very clear in their communication, cost estimate, and expected timelines.

The crew was great and worked hard to make our vision come to life. They kept the rest of the home clean and showed true craftsmanship on the job.

The final outcome is amazing and we are so happy that we went with Sonin. They are going to be our number one option for contractors/builders going forward.

I’m so glad we went with Sonin to redo our main floor bathroom! We changed the existing layout and updated everything - tile, vanity, fixtures, etc. They did a great job! They were super responsive and worked quickly and efficiently. Their cost felt really reasonable, especially for how great the final product is. I would definitely recommend Sonin, and we would definitely use them for any future projects.

Sonin (Nelson and his crew) did an awesome job in remodeling our house, originally build 100 years ago. The scope of our project included redoing all siding, re-design of main entrance, changing windows, painting inside, and fixing ceilings since we also updated lights in the house, and removing all big bushes in front and back yard. All was done in around 4 weeks (which was less than planned) with multiple teams working at the same time, but all coordinated for not affecting other team’s work. Everything was within planned budget, which gave us margin to solve couple issues found during the project since this is an old house.
Nelson was with us the entire team, giving lots of ideas about the design, and materials to use considering our personal taste, preferences, and budget. He always kept a straight and open communication and we always felt protected, and didn’t have to deal directly with other contractors involved. The result was just amazing and we highly recommend.
Thanks Sonin!

Sonin Construction built an open air front porch and an enclosed, heated rear porch for our home. Nelson, the owner, has excellent craftsman and workers on his staff. They take pride in their work and are courteous. Nelson does a great job coordinating with the City of Chicago for permit inspections, which due to the City's backlog on available inspection dates, can normally really slow down the execution of a project. We were fortunate to have our project finished and complete as soon as it was. We think the value for the money was great, with much attention to detail. In addition, we had a few out of scope additions to our contract, or change orders, and we always felt that Nelson gave us a fair price estimate for these add-ons. In the past, we've experienced many other contractors who jack up these change order requests quite a bit. We'd highly recommend Sonin Construction for home reconstruction of any type.

My husband and I have been remodeling our home for the last 2 years and during that time we have used 5 different crews to complete the work. Why you ask? Because the first 4 were a nightmare. Working with that number of crews you come in contact with all kinds, and I mean all kinds (the kinds that give you nightmares, result in tears and wasted time and money.) Needless to say when we thought of finally finishing our first floor remodel that included ripping up our floor, replacing doors and trim, redoing a bathroom and laundry room and updating the old plumbing, I accepted that this would probably be as painful as all the others.
I am here to report not so.
Nelson came out to the house 3 times to walk thru and provide a quote. I had already purchased about 90% of the materials needed for the job, and he was very accommodating. I could sense that he "got" the vision and was down.
Once we got going his crew was *one time * *reasonably clean * and *incredibly nice*. Nelson made every attempt to communicate what the plan was for the week and 9 times out of 10 that's what happened. For those that have been doing remodels you know that is not the norm. The few bumps we hit, Nelson rolled with and made every effort to correct, or be flexible around without upset or change orders. Example, Jesus, who was doing the tile, laid the tile in the wrong pattern on an accent wall. After mentioning it, Jesus came back the next day and rapidly relaid the tile, without any hurt feelings or issues.
Let's just say, I feel beyond lucky to have found Nelson and his crew. They made the final leg of our remodel journey as easy and painless as one could hope for.

We recently had our bathroom floor replaced, and we couldn't be happier with the results! From beginning to end, Nelson and his team were professional, punctual, and communicative.

Highly recommend to anyone looking for quality home renovations!

We loved working with Sonin Construction for our home remodeling project. All the rooms turned out beautifully (added a bathroom and bedroom in basement, remodeled powder room, added exterior door, moved closet in bedroom). The team at Sonin Construction is responsive and easy to work with. My wife and I both appreciated how everyone we met (plumbers, electricians, tiling, and general work crew) was more than happy to explain what was going on, options, or troubleshoot issues with us.

All the horror stories we heard about potential issues with construction projects had us so nervous but we never ran into any of those problems with Sonin Construction. While it is not exactly fun to have work on your house, we really did have fun working on this project with everyone there and they are all just great people to work with. Highly recommended!

Sonin Construction did an amazing job renovating and remodeling our house. The entire first floor was remodeled - changed the format of the floor plan, renovated and remodeled the bathrooms and the kitchen, electrical and plumbing, and installed new windows. My wife and I are extremely happy with the results and outcome. As a designer, I am very particular when it comes to the quality of work and the details. Sonin Construction did not disappoint. Nelson (the owner) is super responsive, knowledgable, and trustworthy. We plan on using Sonin Construction to redo our Master En Suite Bathroom in the future.
