Work With a Skilled Remodeling Contractor in Morton Grove, IL and Chicago, IL

Welkin Construction LLC did work on my condo and I must say they were incredible to work with. Extremely professional. Everything I wanted it to be, it was. Communication was on point (before, during, and after project completion).Crew was extremely hard working, they were prompt, made sure to clue me in on what exactly they were doing and if it was to my liking. Completed project earlier than expected and their pricing was the best compared to other quotes in which I received. Absolutely recommend them for any remodeling jobs.

After saving for years, my husband and I were finally able to embark on a remodel of our downstairs bathroom and creation of a mudroom. As excited as we were, we also steeled ourselves for the inevitable that stresses that come with any kind of home construction project. However, Radu and his team made this month-long process so seamless that my husband I regularly turned to each other to question our luck. I think all of my neighbors and friends got tired of hearing us gush about everyone’s professionalism, skill and kindness. We just couldn’t help ourselves. It was such a terrific experience. As the project manager and owner, Radu is extremely knowledgeable. That experience, coupled with his organization made everything run smoothly and got us through inevitable hiccups. For example, on the first day of demolition, Radu’s team encountered an unexpected water pipe, blocking part of the area we had hoped to put a mudroom. Radu came from another job site that evening to meet with us in person about our options. He and his team had already clearly discussed three possible approaches and he was able to clearly lay out the pros and cons. His efficiency saved everyone time and allowed our project to move forward on schedule. I appreciate that he showed up in person to explain things himself rather than trying to figure it our on the phone or through other people. Radu and his team communicated with us promptly, clearly and frequently throughout the project. We never had to guess what was next or wonder when the next phase would start because they always kept us in the loop. We didn’t really ever have to initiate contact once the project started because they were so proactive at keeping up updated and telling us what to expect. One weekend, Radu had to be out of town. We wouldn’t have had any need to reach him (or could have contacted other members of his team if need be), but he made a point to let us know he would be gone and put us in touch with his colleague in case we needed him. His colleague Gino also reached out to reiterate his availability! And let’s talk work quality. Radu employs a seasoned team of craftspeople. Tiling to woodwork to pluming to electricity was executed with precision and care. And Radu made sure to regularly check in and inspect the work himself. The team’s professionalism was top notch. Each morning, I saw several cars parked outside our house 15 minutes before the 7:00 a.m. start time. I can’t think of the last time I worked with people who were on time let alone early! And they worked long days, making efficient progress over the weeks they were here. I know it’s hard for contractors to manage team schedules on different job sites, but I really appreciate how carefully Radu was able to maximize time. Impressively, the work site was kept impeccably clean throughout the duration of the project. Each day before leaving, debris was picked up and cleared away (they took all trash with them; we never had anything added to our own garbage cans). The job site was swept and organized. The day the walls were sanded produced what I thought would be an impossible amount of dust to deal with. But when the team left, I saw they had vacuumed everything, even in areas of the house that weren’t part of the job site. We are thrilled with our final product. This is a once-in-a lifetime construction project for us, so the stakes were financially and emotionally high. But Radu and his team exceeded our expectations.

We worked with Welkin for a gut renovation of our master bath and powder room, as well as to stub in an adjacent closet for a future bathroom build-out. Additionally, they transformed our two flat entry to SFH by removing a wall and framing two doorways into stunning archways. They also installed all new doors and frames in our house as we had none upon move-in. I was nervous going into this project as it was my first time doing a renovation this large. I was fearful of what would come up along the way, and didn’t know what to expect. Radu and Gino made sure we were in the loop at every step of the way, and were on-site frequently to oversee the project. With every unexpected turn (such as mold in the ceiling due to an old, improperly installed vent), they were able to quickly and efficiently resolve. Their team was kind and hard-working and showed up promptly each day, following a set schedule to ensure the project was completed as quickly as possible for us since we lived in the house amidst the construction with only one other basement bathroom. While every project encounters its challenges, Welkin Construction handled them with grace and went above and beyond to ensure our complete satisfaction. Their dedication to our happiness was unparalleled, and I truly believe it’s rare to find a construction company that cares this deeply about the success of their projects and the happiness of their clients. If you’re embarking on a big project and feeling nervous, I highly recommend Welkin Construction. They have your back every step of the way and will work tirelessly to ensure the outcome exceeds your expectations.

We are so glad that we went with Welkin construction for our bathroom repair needs and highly recommend them! Radu was quick with communication and the process from start to finish was so smooth. Pricing was reasonable and the contractors that came out were the ultimate professionals – fast, very good at what they do, and went above and beyond. They finished the whole job in an hour and a half! We were initially a little worried about the lack of reviews but glad we took a leap of faith.

I have worked with many contractors and I will say that the experience is usually challenging from changes in price, to missing deadlines, to unprofessional interactions etc.. Working with Radu was a dream. He was on time, professional, never changed a price, calm, easy, accommodating… I just can’t list enough positive qualities, so perhaps it is easier to say that I don’t have anything negative to say. If you are considering hiring him, don’t hesitate. 🙂 My kitchen remodel, bathroom, and misc other items, were all perfectly done.

Hire Welkin for your home renovation, you won’t regret it! Bottom line: Radu and his guys will care for your home like it was their own home. Their prices are fair, the work is quality, they tidy up at the end of the day, they are always on time, and they stayed on schedule even after some unexpected hang ups during the renovation. Here’s some background on our reno: My mother moved into a new home. To help my mother with her new home, I used the home inspection report to prioritize what we needed to do to fix the home and make it functional for my elderly mom. We suspected water damage in the basement due to the bubbling in the dry wall. We hired a professional mold removal service that ripped out the affected drywall and affected cheap floor tile. The mold removers suspected asbestos tile underneath the cheap laminate tile that was removed. We got it tested and they were right, we had to hire a professional asbestos removal service. Then came Welkin to do the beautifying of my mom’s home. Radu from Welkin gave us a quote on quite a few things: fixing the foundational cracks in the wall that allowed a small drip of water to come through, replacing dry wall, replacing the few rotted wood behind the walls, installing new flooring in the basement and office, painting the walls, replacement of our old stubborn sliding glass door, and a complete rehab of the main second floor bathroom with an addition of a laundry chute. I have never done a renovation like this before so I had a lot to learn along the way. Radu was extremely patient and answered all my questions with careful attention and supportive feedback. When we were not sure how to approach a particular aspect of the renovation, like how to frame the bathroom window that was located in the shower with tile, he helped solve the problem with a cost effect way that looked beautiful. He works practically and cost effectively without sacrificing design. My mom loves her renovated bathroom, basement, and office. Everything looks fresh, clean, and put together. I would work with Welkin in a heartbeat and I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, smart, trustworthy contractor.

Radu & team were a pleasure to work with! By far the most responsive I’ve seen for the type of projects – which were fairly scattered throughout the house. Communication was prompt and clear, pricing was very fair, and the work was outstanding. Would definitely go back for future projects at our house.
