We had a unique project in our home that was difficult to measure the scope of work and even harder to find someone we trusted to take it on. Al was straightforward and trustworthy from the beginning. We felt so relieved that it was in good hands. Along the way he adapted as needed, presented great solutions to various challenges, and in the end, gave us the great gift of replacing a valuable piece of history in the home we love. Would recommend Al to anyone! More...

Al is great to work with - had my countertop recently replaced in June 2018 from the dark granite to a bright and refreshing light white/grey finish. The difference is remarkable as you can see the pictures. Al is knowledgeabe and will provide you with suggestions if you're unsure or need help. More...

I had Al and his team build out an ugly half bath (was actually a closet w/an oversized sink and toilet) into a beautiful full bath with a walk in shower. It required creativity to build out walls, fit everything into a small space and still look fabulous. It looked so good that adjoining kitchen suffered in comparison. So, I updated the counters and back splash for a small budget increase and now everything looks fabulous.Al and his team were a joy to work with. Very professional and dependable, cleaned up after themselves, respectful of my home, kept me updated and even let my dog out for her walk. I will, without a doubt, use Al again. I highly recommend his work. More...

The best relationships are based on trust. When it comes to your contractor, that’s even more true. Luckily for us, Al is one trustworthy guy and he gave us beautiful results overhauling the kitchen and master bathroom in our new home. This is the first renovation we’ve done, and we were a little nervous about how to proceed. Though we had a vision of what we wanted, Al was able to help us define it and clarify it. He offered honest feedback throughout that made us feel more confident in our choices, whether it was that he liked the color we chose to paint our kitchen or that our floor tile wasn’t the best match for what we were doing. Above all, Al is a complete perfectionist AND a creative problem-solver. If one little thing felt off, he couldn’t stand it until it was fixed. Whenever a wrench was thrown in there, Al had a way to fix it. Al is also very responsive and communicative so we were able to keep in touch throughout the entire process and feel good about progress. We highly recommend Al and Chicago Custom Remodeling for all of your contracting needs. He’s worth it. More...

I bought a property in Hyde Park and decided that I would do a complete reno before moving in since it had previously been rented for several years. I had always been more of a one improvement at a time and DIY homeowner before. I asked around as I met people at my new job and received no recommendations for contractors so I turned to Google + and other online sites. I had a short window to complete work and move in, and as a woman, I was terrified that I would be taken advantage of. I relied on reviews and contacted Chicago Custom Remodeling and met Al. Al and his team were amazing - from start to finish. Al and I toured the property and I had my spreadsheet of repairs/upgrades. He listened, made gentle recommendations and was always accommodating. I added most of his recommendations and they were just what were needed to make my new property look like it should be showcased on apartment therapy or HGTV. He worked closely with the building staff and the condo guidelines so everyone was in the loop. When the tenants moved out and I saw the condition of the hardwood floors, he found a way to squeeze the floor refinisher into the schedule. When other unforeseen problems surfaced, he found a way to make suggestions, get my input, and take care of them. Every suggestion he made was just what was needed to make my new place perfect. He suggested replacing the bathroom counters with remnant quartz that looks like Carrera marble to stay in my budget and both bathrooms are now amazing. Al is smart, professional, has a great sense of what can be done in a renovation, never promises what can't be done, has a team that does good work, and worked within my schedule and budget. Al is a great person as well - he obviously has a good relationship with his team - and has a calm approach to what can easily turn into a stressful experience. I would recommend Al and Chicago Custom Remodeling to anyone. If Google+ allowed more than 5 stars, I would give 10. More...

When we moved into our new home our plan was to completely remodel the kitchen: we wanted to take down a wall between the kitchen and the mudroom behind. In addition we wanted two windows added, new hardwood flooring, new cabinetry and a lot more! Al Zamm of Chicago Custom Remodeling was the most genuine and knowledgeable of all the contractors we met with - we are so glad we picked him. Al spent three hours with us during the consultation listening to our ideas and advising about practicalities. He was very realistic with us from the start; advising us not to stretch ourselves and get into debt with multiple projects in our home, but to focus on one at a time to allow time to save in between. He suggested we get a couple of other estimates for our own peace of mind - his honesty and integrity was refreshing from the start! Al informed us from the start of our kitchen renovation project that quality work takes time. We were very naive about the amount of work that goes into a kitchen remodel, but having watched the incredible transformation - and all the stages in-between (including complete removal of dry wall and ceiling) - we are so grateful for Al's perfectionist work ethic, and creativity. He is more than a contractor: he is capable of advising about design nuances that will ensure a superb finished product. We were constantly impressed by Al's talent; there seems to be nothing that he cannot do. It transpired that the wall between our mudroom and the kitchen was load-bearing (our home is 120 years old, and Al warned us from the start that he wouldn't know the exact scope of the work until he removed the wall). This created a lot of additional work, but Al's solution resulted in an incredible addition to our kitchen: a gorgeous wooden beam to hide the support structure which replaced the load-bearing wall, and which fitted perfectly into our kitchen design.Some examples of Al going above and beyond:- Spending hours with us one evening to get the electronic design right for our kitchen prior to commencing the work- Driving a four hour round trip to Michigan to collect our countertop to ensure there would be no seems when it was fitted- Walking our dog in the day when we were out- Adding a gas line outside for our grill whilst he was moving the gas line for the double oven- Helping us with multiple DIY projects elsewhere in the house when our expertise failed (putting up blinds, light fittings, wood trim, shelves)- Working longer hours than any contractor I have ever heard of- Working weekends- Getting to know our style better than we do, and therefore picking out better tiles and window casements that our original effortsAl is honest, extremely hard-working, and he has a great sense of humor. He will not leave a job until the customer is 100% satisfied, and his standards and expectations for his own work are very high. Although, Al's business model is the customer is always right, and to provide excellent customer service, we learned to be realistic with time expectations - great quality work takes time and it is not productive to rush him. Our finished kitchen was 1000% worth our patience to ensure that Al was able to get the best parts from the best suppliers. More...

Guaranteed Satisfaction!!I have been a repeat customer of Al's for over 4 years. It's hard to find a reliable honest company who does a quality job. He has done several jobs for me over the years. Most recently they fixed up my driveway and side walk. We are going to put in new flooring soon and I can't wait to see the finished product! More...

Al is hard worker, honest and trustworthy. He did a complete remodel of our kitchen and was on site 100% of the time and did most of the work himself. His attention to detail is incredible and his patience with my overbearing need to “stay within my budget” was commendable. He did an amazing job with our kitchen, we absolutley love it. He wasn’t finished until we were completely satisfied. When my rental condo flooded, I called Al to mitigate the unit and then asked him to do the rebuild. He jumped right to it and had my renters back in the unit within a month. Al is the real deal. He’s on my speed dial. Our next task is to get our bathrooms done and he will be our first call.

Working with Chicago Custom Remodeling was a dream. Really, my dream kitchen became a reality! Living in Chicago, it's essentially impossible to find a gourmet kitchen in the city. After searching what seemed like endless real estate listings in Lakeview, it became apparent that I would need to remodel to get the kitchen I wanted. I have always wanted the charm of a farmhouse kitchen with the a modern touch: a wooden beam and floating shelves, a barn door, a farmhouse sink, a double oven, and lots of windows. Al Zamm, the owner of Chicago Custom Remodeling, along with his diligent team, helped me bring my design to life. Being a complete novice myself, it was reassuring to have Al provide constant guidance with finishes and costs. You will not find a contractor that is more committed or professional; he is the best in the city and his 20+ years of experience certainly shows for it.

I remember searching Houzz for inspiration and insight into costs and couldn't find much on what to expect for pricing; this kitchen remodel cost approximately $60,000 (gut demolition, removal of load bearing wall, drywall installation, hardwood floor patching, replacement of back door, installment of 2 new windows, plumbing, electrical, new appliances, cabinets, counter tops, along with all the other finishes). We transitioned two rooms (a mudroom and the existing kitchen) into our 19 x 14 final dream kitchen. I have ZERO regrets and plan on hiring Chicago Custom Remodeling in the future for other projects.

CCR's team is punctual, clean and thorough. From the estimate through the whole project, everything went smoothly. They will advise the best way to complete the project and make design suggestions.

I had a great experience with a whole floor remodel - from a brand new fireplace wall, refinished hardwood floors, paint, new lighting, and custom home entertainment system. Looks fresh and modern.

My go-to source for all remodeling projects. Trustworthy, reliable and easy to work with.
