“We had such a great experience working with Davan. They were so helpful guiding us through the process of the countertop selection, and they were very responsive.”
“After purchasing cabinets, I have made multiple trips back there and the service is consistently great! The man who loads my car up each time is especially helpful!”
“I’ve had the privilege of working with Granite Design of Midwest for over 10 years through Areté Renovators, and they remain one of our most trusted trade partners.
Bart and Agnes consistently go above and beyond — not only for our projects, but for every client we introduce to them. Their reliability, craftsmanship, steady pricing, and true white-glove service make our job easier and our clients happier.
They have even completed work in my own home, which speaks to the level of trust I have in them. I truly cannot recommend them enough.

“Mike at J&D Whirlpool was a pleasure to work with. He helped us source sinks and other essential parts for our dental office and made the entire experience smooth and stress-free. He was incredibly friendly, warm, and always quick to respond. Pickup was fast and easy. We highly recommend working with Mike and look forward to doing business with him again.”
“I came in today because I had juat purchased a portable washing machine for my new apartment that doesn't have laundry. I should have done more research on the water connection pieces, as thwre is not a functional adapter for my extendable kitchen sink hose.
Anyways, even though there isnt a part to help me here - the employee I spoke with (Adam) was absolutely and genuinely trying to find other work around for my dilemma. When I walked up and he approached, I was put of breath from health issues and nerves so I stumbled a bit and trying to explain the purpose of my visit. I have worked and been a customer for years and knowing this was likely a fruitless effort - Adam again was patient and honestly just a salt of the earth, willing to help and was concerned about my plumbing issue to go so far as to again try to think of other things I could do to have to not return a 3 cubic ft washing machine to Amazon. I hope the owner sees this - because if I ran a business, Adam would be my first hire.”
“This is the 3rd time we’ve used factory plaza for countertops, and each time was a great experience. We’ve researched other places, but they have the widest selection and best prices we’ve found. Most recently we worked with Irene, who helped us get our kitchen, office and bathroom countertops measured and installed super quickly. We didn’t have availability to go in person, but she sent us pictures of a number of different slabs, which was really convenient. We highly recommend this place.”
“I must have bought about 10 kitchens from MK. I always dealt with Kathy and Tina good people, very easy to work with. You won't go wrong here plenty of options and prices are very competitive.”
“We did a full gut rehab of our new condo. This was a first for me. Fred, the designer we worked with was great. He lead us in the right direction with cabinet layout and style. In fact, everyone we interacted with during the process were extremely helpful. I would highly recommend going with Builders. We ended up adding on a bathroom vanity and built-in entertainment center as well.”
“Chicago Faucet Shoppe was the only company that I found that carried a specfic KWC cartridge replacement (KWC K.32.60.00 ) for my kitchen faucet. Similar to other reviewers, the customer service reps are top notch, they're very responsive and are of tremendous help. I highly recommend Chicago Faucet Shoppe for your faucet part needs and I will certainly use them going forward.”
“This is our 2nd major renovation working with SMG and they’ve been great both times! My wife is an interior designer and does some pretty crazy, creative, things (on a budget) and the guys at SMG are always up for the challenge and really bring her visions to life. These are some of the bathroom, kitchen, and pantry pics with the new countertops, counter splashes, and some accents! Great job SMG!!!”

“After starting our project with a contractor who we quickly found was in over his head, we were thankfully introduced to Dino at Hi-Tech Builders Dor. He immediately turned things around for us and we never looked back. Dino knows how to get things done quickly, reliably and affordably. We did a full interior rehab job on a 3 bdrm house and he took care of everything from cabinet installation, flooring removal and installation, bathroom remodeling, closet construction, high-quality interior painting and more. His team moved quickly to meet our timeline. He was always responsive to communication. I recommend Dino and Hi-Tech Builders Dor Inc. for anyone who wants it done right the first time.”

“B&B recently replaced my kitchen countertops. The team was knowledgeable with responsive communication from start to finish. Installation was done with care and attention to detail. Highly recommend!”
“They created a custom wood pantry cabinet, for a weird niche in my kitchen.They matched the pattern of my older cabinets so that it fit beautifully with the rest of the wood. Really beautifully done. Oralia, the showroom rep was absolutely wonderful to work with. She was knowledgeable and detail oriented and a great communicator. Thank you to both her and the carpenter.”
“As a repeat client, Imperial Kitchens and Baths never disappoints. The work is impeccable and always exceeds my expectations. The staff is professional, punctual, and respectful, and treated my home like it was their own. Quality materials are used for the projects, and attention to detail ensures that the finished work truly adds to the value of my home. John updated me at every stage, and communicated regularly to make sure everything was going as expected and to make sure I was satisfied with the progress. I have recommended Imperial to family and friends. They are the best, and I give them the highest recommendation possible!!”

“Very good store, if you looking for plumbing parts they will give you advice and will find right parts. Even if you wants return and refund they doing easy.
Recommend them.”
“I had an amazing experience at the Ferguson Showroom on Western Ave in Chicago! From start to finish, the entire team was incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely friendly.
A special thank you to Rhonda, she was absolutely fantastic to work with. She made what could have been an overwhelming process feel easy and manageable, especially while making decisions for a multi-bathroom remodel. Her expertise and guidance helped us feel confident every step of the way.
The pricing was also very fair, which made the overall experience even better. It’s clear they truly care about their customers and go above and beyond to provide great service.
I highly recommend this showroom to anyone tackling a renovation project. Truly a great overall experience!”
“Did beautiful, prompt, and courteous work. My countertop has an 'L' shape which was done without any seams. Also requested 1 inch height rather than 1.5 inch, and they agreed. Skip the big box stores-Countertop City will do a much nicer job for a reasonable price.”
“Floor & Decor offers a huge selection of tiles and flooring options to fit every style and budget. The store is well-organized, making it easy to browse and compare different materials, colors, and finishes.
Whether you’re renovating or starting a new project, they have plenty of choices and everything you need in one place. Great variety, good quality, and a convenient shopping experience overall. Highly recommended”
“Second time making a purchase here and both times were absolutely amazing! Its like walking into a library and asking the librarian where a book is and he/she just knows off the top of their heads. This place is a chicago staple! Forget the big box stores where you have to buy seperate pieces and pray they all fit together. The Faucet Guy has everything you need for a reasonable price. I saved so much money.”
“Great selection (mostly online but decent in-store), great service, speedy delivery. Sarah in sales was super responsive. I started my renovation project at Studio 41 near Merchandise Mart (near my job) and in Lincolnwood (near nothing) and while the team in Lincolnwood was MUCH nicer than the folks on Hubbard (it wouldn't take much) there wasn't nearly the responsiveness and pricing transparency that I got at Ferguson. I was initially very overwhelmed by by master bath rehab- Sarah was easy to work with and worked well with my contractor to replace a Kohler tub that arrived with minor damage. Totally a 5 star experience”
“Originally went to Home Depot. Prices were outrageous. Was referred to Bison's for kitchen cabinets. My husband and I were astonished by the pricing. Not only was the price reasonable, David totally redesigned our kitchen. David created a more functional design for us.We ordered the maple rye cabinets by Waypoint. They are simply gorgeous and phenomenal quality. However, there was one problem which does not change the 5 stars. One set of cabinets measurements were transposed. We had to wait almost two weeks for the correct size cabinets to be delivered. Dave personally took care of this occurrence. Dave's professionalism goes far and beyond. He provided a portfolio of the new design which was awesome. Thanks David for everything!”
“We had countertops put in and everything from
Start to finish was top notch. Best prices around. The turn around time was super quick and the quality of work was superb. I was highly satisfied with the results. 10/10 would recommend.”
“WOW! I was truly amazed at the recent transformation of my dingy looking porcelain tub. I thought there was no hope of it ever looking better, until I was referred to Ugly Tub. Excellent customer service in the office and from my technician. Both very professional. Very neat job done with written explanations of how to care for the new tub finish. Reasonable cost. I am highly pleased and recommend this company!”
“This place is the best place to get your appliances! I came by here and they came and showed me the directions on how to get to the place since I have never came to a warehouse before. They have amazing service and there prices are just the best.”
“I’m extremely happy with my experience with Advanced Cabinets. From start to finish, everything was handled professionally and with great attention to detail.
A special thank you to Gosia, who did an outstanding job throughout the entire process. She was knowledgeable, attentive, and truly cared about making sure everything was perfect. I highly recommend Advanced Cabinets to anyone looking for beautiful, high-quality kitchen cabinetry.”
“Great selection and service. Their pricing is fair and many cabinets are in stock and can be delivered within a week or two. Why would I ever go back to home Depot for kitchens when I can get better service and pricing here? Way better.”

“Huge showroom with lots of different brands. Nice displays that give you ideas. Not as much designed spaces or corners like other studio41s I’ve visited but they seem to carry more variety of brands on this site. One of the consultants, Joshua, was kind enough to answer my questions and explained my inquiries. Some of the items are on sale which is a plus.”
“I should have gone here instead of wasting my time at Western Springs Hardware and Home Depot!! The guys at Harlem had EXACTLY what I needed within 3 minutes of me walking in the front door!! All 3 guys were helpful, knowledgeable, funny and just all around GREAT!! For all your plumbing needs, go here, NOT the other places!!”
