Large Room Addition - extensive interior renovation in Lake Bluff

This is a letter of recommendation for Brian Weinstock & Home Installation Professionals. We are in the finishing phase of our project, a design & build project which doubled the size of our 1350 sq ft, 2-3 br 1.5 ba 50+ yr old brick cape cod style home, and turned it into a 4-5 br, 3.5 bath with home office with a 2 story 20ft X 34ft addition. We move back in next week, on schedule.

We started our search for the builder to do our project 4 years ago - we interviewed just about every Lake County/North Shore builder, including Brian’s company. We took our time because of all the horror stories we had heard about addition nightmares. We called a first round of references. We then asked Brian and 3 other companies to bid on our project and Brian came in significantly lower (approximately 30%-50%). We were on a limited budget and most of the builders we interviewed were out of our range.

We checked references for Brian, and visited a job site of his; a larger project than ours in Libertyville, during different phases of the job. All checked & looked good. We felt comfortable and signed with Brian.

We started the project in March, with Brian keeping close communication. Brian designed it all from scratch, using our “wish list”. Brian helped us with material & option selection, spending large amounts of time and being very helpful & patient. The whole process has been much easier than expected, primarily due to the close control Brian maintains on the jobsite, his desire for total customer satisfaction and his diligence in maintaining good communications. We have been very impressed with the quality, speed & coordination of the job. It is evident that Brian takes great pride in his work. It shows.

Brian’s crew is unbelievable. Very hard working, very professional and they all take pride in their work – there were very few days when there wasn’t some work going on, including weekends. These people are really good at what they do. We are very impressed.

Brian is able to give upgrades on many items. We never would have been able to afford putting in @ 1000 sq ft of 4” plank oak floors, the huge whirlpool and the multi-jet steam shower in our master bath with the other builders and still get the addition space we wanted within our budget. With Brian, we got all that plus a lot more.

Overall, we are very happy we found Brian. We feel we got the best value by using Home Install Pros to do our addition, and we can’t recommend Brian and his crew enough!!! In fact, our neighbors across the street are now using him to add a master suite to their house. I wouldn’t be surprised if he winds up remodeling more homes in this neighborhood.

Brian and his company have earned our highest recommendation.
