Hi, we live in Carpentersville and are looking for someone to build archways/doorways/walls between some of our open rooms We'd like to find someone we can have a long term business relationship with as we have numerous projects we'd like to do, but can only do them a little at a time! We eventually want new flooring, basement remodel, so we need someone who has experience with a variety of things. Thanks!

What can I do next?

He is also a Fireman/Paramedic for the Palatine Fire Department and we live in Palatine so he's not far from Carpentersville.

Here is a cell number for someone I know. He's reasonable, honest, and hardworking. He can do most anything except electrical and plumbing...though with his contacts he could probably find others to do that if needed.

Carlos Leyva ###-###-####

He lives in Pingree Grove and does travel quite far for different jobs. And I'm sure he could get you references upon request. He did some work for one of my husband's co-workers and this man was quite pleased with the results and the costs.

Hi J.,

My husband has been a carpenter for 20 years. He works for a carpenter contractor company as an Estimator now but was in the field up until 2 years ago. He does do side work - he is actually the neighborhood handy man. If there is something that does not fall under his expertise he has a wide range of contacts.
If you are interested please e-mail me or call ###-###-####.

Hi J.,

We also live in C'ville and found Diamond Remodeling highly rated through Angie's List. We finished our basement this spring and bid the project to 3 different contractors. His bid was the lowest (though just barely) but that wasn't why we went with him. His proposal was super thorough about the exact materials he recommended to use and he was very professional and timely (we wanted to get the project done before our first child was born). After using he and his team, my husband and I whole-heartedly recommend him. They cleaned up the basement every night so I could still go down and get laundry done any night and never had to worry about stepping on a nail or tools, etc. My neighbor is already using him for a small job. The owner's name is Jim and his # is ###-###-####. He's based out of Lake in the Hills so C'ville is very convenient to him. You can also go to www.diamondremodeling.com for pics and such.

Best wishes!
L.
