My wife and I hired Ivo and Team to help us restart finishing a basement. We had previously hired a separate contractor in March and had to fire him half way through due to terrible work and prolonged timelines. We found DBR Builders who worked with us to demolish the previous work and start fresh. 5 weeks total is all it took for them to demolish the old work and completely finish our basement. Electrical, drywall, painting, flooring, and building a bar area. The finished product was better than we could have imagined and now we're slowly finding decorations to make it feel like a true "man-cave". We were very impressed with Ivo, his team/crew, and their professionalism and timeliness. I tried my best to not watch over the project too much (considering the disaster of a job my previous contractor did), but even when I had questions or concerns, Ivo and team were very helpful in answering my questions and making sure I felt comfortable with their plan of action.The only small hiccup we had was when it came to our choice in paint. We had specified to DBR the paint color and brand that we wanted to use on our walls, but not the specific finish. We assumed that we would use at least satin paint, especially in the bar area where we expect high traffic, spilled drinks, etc. It wasn't until all the paint was up and we saw some chips/scratches that we realized it was flat paint. When asking DBR if there was anything we could do like repaint it with a more durable finish, they asked for a rather significant upcharge. They did however make sure all imperfections in the paint were touched up before officially being done with the project, which I greatly appreciated.I would consider that hiccup a 50/50 responsibility. We should have clarified, and they should have asked. But either way, I understand they're a business and are not working for free. Just was surprised they asked for as much as they did. Make sure to be as clear as possible in this area what you're looking for. Nevertheless, if that's the worst hiccup we had, we came out pretty good.All-in-All, we are very pleased with our finished product and are very thankful for DBR. Would highly recommend to someone needing a job well done by professionals! 9.5/10!

DBR Construction, Mr. Ivo Alexander the owner and his team were a very professional and responsive construction company. They took on the daunting task of gut rehabilitating our condominium in the heart of Chicagos Astor District. The building is older, and Ivo the owner identified several cost effective ways to improve the insulation, new technologies in HVAC solutions, sound dampening, hardwood flooring, metal work, tile, worked with subcontractors to create beautiful finishes, and worked with the HOA to keep things relatively quiet for our neighbors. The team consisted of Adrian, Arturo, Eric, Ben, Henry, Carlos, and Oscar. All had their lanes and worked beautifully both independently and as a team when necessary. DBR will be our go-to firm for future buildouts or new purchases in the future for any construction.
