Hired on Thumbtack
Custom Built installed a board on board fence custom built on location. After encountering some issues with very difficult neighbors, Karen and John (both were great) reworked my contract to my satisfaction. Both were very attentive to the details of my situation. The crew was great, especially Javier. He was very professional, kept me advised and while he supervised the crew, he did so much quality work as well. I highly recommend Custom Built.

Michael M.Palatine, ILJohn and Karen run a great company! We find quality communication is very important when working with a contractor, and this is a strength for John and Karen! They rebuilt our rather large wrap around deck and added a free standing 18' by 18' pergola. Both turned out fantastic. We simply couldn't be happier customers. And here's something very important to note: the work was completed in the spring of 2016. During the late summer of 2017, one of the 2 by 6s used as a railing cap cracked in half and needed replacing. I emailed John and Karen, and they had the board replaced very quickly - nearly 18 months later!!

I'm very happy with my new fence. John and his son came out to measure and explain the whole process and then a couple weeks later the crew came and were finished in 1 day. I spend the whole summer researching and getting quotes and I'm very satisfied with my decision!

It was a pleasure working with Karen for planning, and impressive watching the crew build the fence. There were many details to consider, including the removal of existing fences, avoiding underground utilities and size and placement of gates. All concerns were addressed efficiently and accurately during both the planning stages, and during actual construction. Thank you!!
