Hired on Thumbtack
Vlad and his guys did a PHENOMENON job on my stairs! He helped with the design, ordering all the pieces, was very responsive, on time, clean, and did an absolutely beautiful job. I could not be happier!
Vlad and team were great to work with! Our stairs were extremely steep, and Vlad came up with a solution to make them significantly less steep, and more safe for our family. They also altered the upstairs ‘wood poles’, to a hand rail. The house feels completely different! We will be working with Vlad again.
ChiTown Fixers were very reliable and did an excellent job of fixing our wooden step and spindles as well as put in new railings. Definitely recommend them.
Vlad and his team were great to work with and we will be using them again in the future. He was responsive, thoughtful and able to execute efficiently. We hired them for two projects: replace our porch skirting around the entirety of our house and complete a built in bar with some cabinetry installation. Everything came out exactly as we agreed on. Throughout the process Vlad was friendly, responsive and helpful. Would definitely recommend him and his team. Thanks, Vlad!
