Kelli S. – Gurnee
What a great experience working with Greg! He was quick to respond, right on time, & super courteous. He did an amazing job of wall mounting our large TV!
Mike R. – Libertyville
Needed a TV mounted above the fireplace and shelves in the garage. They showed up on time, did both perfectly, and cleaned up everything. Great team!
Tom S. – Lake Villa
Turned over a rental unit — full paint, new flooring in the bathroom, and small repairs. They got it done quickly ready to rent right away.
David K. – Vernon Hills
They assembled a big IKEA bed frame and installed smart locks on our doors. Everything works great and they were patient with my questions. Solid service.
Lisa P. – Mundelein
Had a bunch of minor interior fixes: outlets, trim touch-ups, and a ceiling fan. Fast, no mess, and everything’s perfect now. These guys know what they’re doing.
Emily T. – Grayslake
We had them refresh our powder room — new vanity, mirror, lighting, and paint. It looks amazing and only took two days. Highly recommend HomeHero!
