What Our Customers Say About CHR Contractors

John worked very hard to help me come up with solutions to redesign my small kitchen. He had great ideas and was thoughtful of my opinions. John was very responsive and finished the job in the time he promised.
Karisa
John’s work is second to none! He finished our home’s basement and kitchen. The work was amazing! To give you an indication of what we thought, I referred him to my parents to update their kitchen
Fr. Dimitri Tobias
We originally found John through Angi's List while getting quotes to have a raised Trex deck built behind our house. He was responsive during the quoting process, and all through the project once we moved forward with him

CHR Contractors recently installed a deck at my home a few weeks ago. They did a beautiful job and I couldn’t be happier with the results! John was easy to work with throughout the process and provided helpful ideas on the layout/design
Kelly Hallman
CHR Contractors built our deck in 2021. They were professional every step of the way. They listened to our input and were very responsive to our needs. The decking with lights is beautiful, very well built and, I believe, priced fairly.
Franca Fontana

We recently hired CHR contractors (John) and his team to update our bathroom, and we couldn’t be more pleased with the results! They completed the project within our budget and truly brought our vision to life.
Jacklyn Billman
We used CHR on our Elmhurst home for a second floor addition. They were at our house like clockwork at 7AM, 6 days a week for 3 months. The owner was onsite most days which made the communication easier and productive. We are very satisfied with the quality of work and would use this company again.
Dan LeDonne
CHR Contractors did an excellent job of rebuilding our deck. It was a big job as we needed a complete rebuild, foundation, posts, framing, decking, railing stairs and gate. (My deck is huge with a pool at the end of it) John was very easy to work with.
