“Our Sweeten contractor did a great job renovating two bathrooms and our living room. He started on time. He was in constant communication with us. They finished on time. And the end result was exactly as we had hoped. We are very pleased! We would strongly recommend him to any friend or family member looking to do a renovation. We’ve also used a few contractors in renovating our Chicago apartment over the last two years. He was, by far, the best contractor we used.”
Stephen R., Lakeview“I live in a very old house and wanted to renovate our bathroom in a style that is consistent with the era of the home. Even though the team didn't have experience with this more traditional aesthetic, they still delivered—updating and modernizing while keeping the original features intact.”
Kelsey G., La Grange“The contractor did an amazing job renovating our kitchen. He takes pride in his craft and the attention to detail he displays is not typical of contractors. We knew what work was being performed each day and any questions or issues to work through he would contact us immediately to discuss. I never felt pressured to do anything, the process was truly collaborative. I would not hesitate to work with him again and fully recommend him to others.”
Alexandra B., Jefferson Park/Albany Park“The team was amazing. They really went above and beyond, despite order delays due to Covid supply shortages, they really were on top of everything. They were always available to answer questions. They really transformed my home.”
