Chi Renovation renovated our master and kids bathroom simultaneouslyRyan, Eric and Nicolai were a great team and were able to do a precise, clean installation We were going for a modern look with attention to detail The team was able to carry out the design with great professionalism and were always on time and pleasantHighly recommend!
Chi Renvovation did a great job remodeling our bathroom We are very pleased with their work They replaced everything and installed new tiles The result is fantastic We will be using them again
Just finished our master bathroom renovation! I finally got my steam shower!! It turned out amazingThe tile work, double vanity, the sconcesIt all turned out so wellThe company, Chi Renovation, was greatThroughout the entire process, they walked us through everythingFrom picking out the fixtures, tiles and paint to the design and layoutAnd the contractor that was here working was so wonderfulHe was polite and very knowledgeableWe always felt comfortable with him in our homeThere were some hiccups along the way (as we expected) but everything was resolved quickly and effectivelyThe project manager was super responsive and always brought things back on track immediatelyIf you have a project, they are definitely worth checking out
I recently have my basement installed with new tile floor by this companyI am satisfied with not only the initial estimate but also their finished workThey brought in a couple groups of guys for estimation and discussed with me about some options how to go ahead with the floor installmentWe ordered tiles at a tile store by ourselves and their people picked them up without charging any feeWhat I was really impressed is that they provided me everything in detail including all the materials and labor involvedI haven't found any fee randomly chargedEverything has been detailed exactly on the estimateTheir charge is reasonable and I never have any feeling I have been ripped offThis is probably what customers have been concerned most aboutTheir guys came every day and started the work pretty early around 7:amThey always notified me in advance about a possible early startThere were some thunder storms in the summer right before they started to work on the floorI found some places in the basement had water seepageThey sealed all those leaking cracks on the foundationThey checked the sump pump and even exterior wallsThey found a crack on the exterior wall which was leaking water on raining daysThey sealed it without any additional chargeIn one word, this company is pretty reliableIf you are hesitant about how to find a reliable company, I would recommend you at least start with an estimate from them
I used Chi Renovation & Design to remodel my guest bathroom, and would highly recommend them to othersI ended up going with them because they were the most punctual, professional, and organized throughout the consultation & estimate process, and I liked that they were a combined design-build firm, so the project manager (in my case, Ron) would see the whole project through from start to finishPlus, their estimate was in line with others, and they came highly recommended by a co-worker who'd recently worked with them
I'd intended to do the remodel in June but then had to push the timeline back to the fall, which they were able to accommodate without an issueOther things I appreciated were that: the team cleaned up the work area at the end of each day, so I never walked into a mess after work, and I pestered Ron with tons of questions and ideas throughout the process, and he was always quick to provide helpful guidance or answersThe project itself (punchlist excluded) took closer to weeks than the originally planned, but I'd call that an on-time finish for any contractor
As for the project outcome: the bathroom used to have a tiny (32x32") shower, ugly beige tile that was difficult to clean, and an even uglier glass block windowI'm really happy with the improvements
The service provided by ChiR was amazingThis is not our first renovation and as such we anticipated there would be moments when glitches occurSo of course there were a few but what is especially amazing about ChiR and our project manager Lior, was the prompt attention to resolving the issues no matter how small in order to assure that our outcome was the dream kitchen we had been hoping and planning forAs a result our kitchen is exactly what we envisioned and the process was as good as any renovation project can beThe workers and project manager were prompt, clean, considerate AND attentive to issues like our pets being in the house and our own work and life schedules
The quality of the work is also worthy of mentionWe had originally explored the more moderately priced cabinetry but ended with moving up in our choice to a higher end cabinetry and we are so happy with the resultsWe also really appreciated the supply vendors/distributors that ChiR uses and the lower prices that they are able to pass onto the clientThis helps give you what you want but at a cost that is much more reasonable than other builders might offerThe tile workers were also amazing and attended to small details I would have never seen
Overall it was a fairly painless process and I will plan on using ChiR for any of our future house issues
Ron at Chi Renovation was amazing! We had a few projects done and he made sure that every detail was taken care ofFrom booking the contractors to making sure that the work was executed with perfection, Ron was on top of it allI have heard nightmare stories about having renovations done and Chi Renovations eliminated every friction pointIt was completely painless and we love the work that was done! If you're looking for a friction-free renovation process, book RonIt is likely more expensive than booking a contractor yourself, but worth every pennyWe will use Chi Renovation for all of our home projects moving forward
I inherited a 1950's Skokie home that had never been updatedThe kitchen - Formica counters, buielectric stove- oven with no working temperature control, and broken tile floors - was depressing and embarrassing
I picked Chi renovation and within days had an architectural drawing of cherry cabinets with crown molding, stainless steel sink, stone countertops, under- counter lighting and a warm wood floor
Although it took a while to secure building permits, and I experienced a bit of sticker shock from top of the line stainless steel appliances, I was ecstatic about the result and would recommend Chi highlyTheir subcontractor put in a gas lineTheir master artisan, Rizza, created the best part: a marble backsplash and marble tiles between he counters and the cabinetsI had a lot of creative control, but, at the same time, advice on what would work and what wouldn'tEveryone at Chi was professional and respectful and had a good sense of humor and that mitigated the nuisance of construction in ones living space
It is a reputable company that goes above and beyond to make sure customers are satisfiedAfter I made the final payment, I noticed some problems, they still came out and made the adjustmentsI really appreciated thatGreat experience overall!
We used Chi Renovations & Design for our Kitchen remodel and was very pleased with the final resultsOur designer (Nicole) was able to get us a 3D rendering of our vision during the very beginning of our design phase and it looked awesome! The subsequent design meetings were pleasant and funOnce construction started, we had a great relationship with our project manager (Eric) and the subcontractors (Ceddo and Rene)We would HIGHLY recommend the subcontractors that we had through Chi Renovation & Design! Throughout production, the contractors were always courteous and on timeThey took the design to heart and made sure everything turned out exactly like the drawings from our designer!
The only one disappointment we had with our kitchen renovation project was with the cabinet company, *** CabinetsThere is no showroom to see the actual product and their website apparently had wrong information when it comes to material selectionIn addition, once we ordered and paid 100% of our cabinets, we had to wait weeks before they arrived when we were promised 6-weeks of productionAnd there was no explanation as to what happened to productionRegardless, now that our kitchen is completed, we are very happy with the end resultWe would recommend Chi Renovations & Design for their awesome and professional team! The design fits our lifestyle completely and everybody in the family is enjoying the wonderful space we now have!
We just had both bathrooms renovated in our year old house and we couldn't be happier with the work Chi Renovation did We met with the designer a few times and she gave us some great suggestions on tubs, hardware and countertops and even met us at the tile store to pick out tile Once everything was ordered and delivered, we met with the designer and project manager to discuss timing and how the job would progressThe construction manager pulled the permits and met several times with the Village inspectors to make sure they were satisfiedThe bathroom remodeler started the day after New Years and worked non-stop, including several Saturdays The work was done within a month and everything looks great All the ancient plumbing and plaster was fixed, he figured out an inventive way to move an old heating duct that was located on a shower wall and really went above and beyond in making sure everything was done right We would highly recommend Chi Renovation We just wish we would've done this years ago!

We are thrilled with our remodeled kitchen that Larry *** and Tom *** of Chi-Renovation designed and constructed! The team from Chi-Renovation were excellent to work with throughout the projectLarry and Tom explained in full detail the remodeling process and listened carefully to what we wanted in the new kitchen, our timeframe, and our budget Their team members were punctual, conscientious, and careful to leave our condo in good order at the end of every working day The cabinets and the roll-out shelves that were installed have given us more space with better organization than we had before Chi-Renovation's granite and appliances contacts were very good to work with tooEverything with our kitchen remodel came together on time and on budget and we couldn't be more satisfied Thank you, Larry and Tom!

My wife and I are very pleased with the results of our condo renovation and have received compliments about how fabulous it looksWe worked with Stoyan who listened closely to us, had many good suggestions, and was easy to work withWe were especially pleased with his high standards, even when it caused a slight delay in the work after the flooring materials had to be replaced when he found they had malformations The floor turned out great and harmonize very well with the kitchen cabinets and backsplash
We needed to re-model our already finished basement after some other construction ruined what was a pretty nice space After estimates we chose Chi Renovation and DesignThey were professional, thorough, responsive, and helped us design a new and better spaceTom was our initial project manager and gave us great ideas with regard to how we could go about the renovation and stay within our budget
The day-to-day work team was extremely professional, highly accessible, and responsiveThey kept the space tidy and were able to complete the project in a reasonable amount of time They talked us through their progress almost daily and listened to our concerns as they arose
The finished space is great and exactly what we wanted We noticed a few issues after all the work was done, but Chi Reno was on the spot to address these concerns immediately It is clear they care about the projects long after jobs are completed
Chi Renovation remodeled my bathroom, refinished the hardwood floors, and painted all the walls I'm very meticulous and, consequently, I am NOT an easy customerSo, when a job is done with superior quality, I want to acknowledge it and give full credit
Background
I live in a 1-bedroom, Gold Coast condo that's about Sq FtI hadn't updated it in years and was really ready for changeI decided to refinish the wood floors, paint all the walls, and completely remodel the bathroomI consulted with and received bids from companies before choosing Chi-Renovation
Superior Advice & Direction
Since I wasn't sure exactly what I wanted to do to the bathroom or the colors I would choose for the walls, I was open to suggestionsThe Chi-Renovation Project Manager showed me pictures and asked questions to be better understand my tastes, how I would use the space, and my visionHe then gave me great recommendations regarding color and design elements and did most of the shopping for meFor example: He brought tile, accent options, and wood finishes to my home based on my preferencesHe sent photographs of options for the fixtures, toilet, tub, etcThis was incredibly helpful because I don't have a car nor the time to do that kind of running aroundI was pleased and impressed with the advice and direction that he gave meHe also met with the chief engineer for my building at the beginning of the project to manage all of the technical stuffHe made the process VERY easy for me
Exceptional Crew
I was also impressed with the caliber of their expert craftsmenThe custom vanity and cabinets that they made are absolutely beautiful and fit perfectly despite the awkward constraints of the spaceThe tilework is like art beautiful and flawlessAnd, the refinished hardwood floors look like newPerfect! And, they completed everything in just weeks!
Why Chi Renovation & Design?
TRUSTBefore witnessing any of their work in my own space, I chose them because after seeing examples of their work and speaking to them, I trusted that they would do what they said they would do when they said they would do it and that they would do it with integrity (in terms of their professional conduct and the materials they used): On Budget - On Time - Highest Quality
I appreciated having the Project Manager (who also provided wonderful design direction) as a central point of contact for all elements of the project and their entire crew proved worthy of my trustso much so that I felt comfortable taking a mini out-of-state vacation for the last week of the project while they painted the walls and refinished the floors
The Cost
I was quoted $12,for the work (and that included basic building materials)I paid an additional $4,for my custom vanity and cabinets, tempered glass sink, brushed nickel fixtures (for the sink, tub, and shower), and tileThe price was reasonable given my vision for the space, the types design elements that I chose, and the quality of the work

I recently used Chi Renovation & Design for two projects within my home – kitchen remodel and wood floor refinishing -- and I couldn’t be happier with the results. They did a fantastic job.
The process was painless from start to finish, starting with the sales and design process (not pushy at all) straight through to project completion. It was incredibly easy to work with both my Designer (Larry) and Project Manager (Tom) – they were both responsive and thorough. In addition, the whole team was very professional and respectful of my home.
I would highly recommend Chi Renovation to anyone thinking of a home renovation project.
