We just wanted to drop you a note to let you know how pleased we are with the work you did on our recent kitchen-remodeling project.

From start to finish, your company was very professional in the way it did business with us. You responded quickly to our request for a proposal, drafted a realistic timeline for getting the work done, and forecast the cost and accuracy.

Once the job began, we were pleased by the quality of work - and the pace. Your crew worked quickly and efficiently, and with the sensitivity to the fact that a family was living around the edge of the project. Also, they are nice people to be around!

Finally, we appreciated your company's attention to customer satisfaction. As the project drew to a close, you paid close attention to satisfying whatever small issues and problems we brought to your attention.

We would recommend Leader Builders to other homeowners without hesitation.

Out home addition at 6861 Church Street is finally complete and we are ecstatic about our new home. What started in our minds as an addition, resulted in a totally new house for our family. With your help, we were able to incorporate every part of our original design wish list into the project. We continuously receive compliments from our family, friends, and neighbors on how well the exterior architecture blends in with our existing home for a seamless look. The interior layout works very well for us and was a well thought out design. The workmanship, especially the exterior work and the tile work, was well dome, and also a good value. Thank you for your flexibility right from the start allowing us to incorporate so many personal details into the project.

Our Project Manager Mark Pojawis was extremely helpful throughout the project. He was always approachable with our numerous requests and has good suggestions for resolving various issues. It was extremely helpful for us to be able to contact Mark, or anyone in your office, when needed, and he was always available or would call us right back. Mark always quickly resolved any questions or issues. Also, Mark was very helpful managing a lot of the details we requested as the project went on.

Congratulations to you and your staff for a job well done. We would be happy for you to show our house to other prospective clients.

We feel so fortunate to have had Leader Builders doing the remodeling in our home. We first met Leader Builder two years ago. Stanly did such a fabulous job at tearing out the old bathroom and putting in a beautiful new one. We were so happy with the result that we decided to hire Leader Builders again to remodel our basement. It was a huge job because of the demolition and having to re-build it. We were impressed with the politeness of each worker who passed thorough our house. The carpenters worked very long hours and they always let us know when they were leaving for the day. Everybody was extremely trustworthy. We felt very comfortable leaving the house for the day while they were working.

Eduard and Les were very good at communicating with us by letting us know what was going to happen next. We actually miss having them coming around anymore. We are really enjoying the extra space the new basement is providing, which by the way does not even feel like a basement. We definitely happy because we think we have one of the coolest basements in Evanston.

We will definitely call Leader Builders again plus we will refer Leader Builders to all of our friend and neighbors.

Thanks again for a job well done.

Home Repairs can be a horrible good one the way it was with your company. Your team has done a wonderful job and you have been a pleasure to do business with. Please feel free to use my job as a reference, for your company has earned that right. I'll be more than happy to help you with referrals and I will definitely contact you for more additional work in my home.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

First, I would like to give you my follow-up impression of the remodeling work. While no such work goes without problems, my sense is that Leader Builders reacted as well and as quickly as I could have possibly hoped whenever problems arose. Your design, preparation, planning and craftsmanship were all first-rate. Overall I would and do recommend Leader to anyone who is looking for remodeling or construction work.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To Everyone at Leader Builders especially Mark, Lester and Ursula

Thank you for the wonderful work you did on our house. It is really better than we ever imagined it would be. It has been a pleasure working with all of you. I hope we will have the opportunity to do so again in the future.

It has been a pleasure working with your company. My first experience was the construction of a garage at 2657 W Logan Blvd. in Chicago. I was pleased with the performance of Marek Pojawis that when it came time for my next project at 2615 N. Francisco Avenue in Chicago. I was pleased to contact Marek and Leader Builders. As you know this project was vastly different as it was the rehabilitation of a brick two flat. Again, the quality of workmanship and coordination of trades by Marek resulted in a excellent constructed project. In addition to Marek, I don't think the project would have gone well if he hadn't had Lester Blezien to take care of the starting the construction and finishing the final items.

In addition to my personal projects, I have also used Leader Builders for construction projects at my office building at 2627 N. Western Avenue in Chicago. Peter I look forward to working with your company again in the future.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dear Friends at Leader,

Wow! I have heard that my referral professor Larkin was very pleased with your work on his bathroom project and even went on to another improvement. Thanks, for the additional business cards. I'm always happy to recommend you. Hoping you're all well.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dear Pete, Mark, Urszula, and Michael,

Today I am sending the final payment for the work you did on our kitchen project.

We are very happy and pleased with the way things turn out, and thank you to everyone at Leader Builders for your hard work.

Best wishes to all of you.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Just a short note to let you know how much we love our new bathroom.

Stanley and one of your company workers who has worked at our residence during the project were wonderful. They worked long hours and did a wonderful job. Thanks again to Larry who helped us pick up all the right materials for our bathroom.

Anytime you wish to come by and see it just give us a call. Thank You.

Re: Construction Contract- 1120 W. Drummond Place

This Letter will confirm our verbal agreement that my wife and I assume responsibility for the booster pump and spiral staircase in the rear of our home. Also, I appreciate all your and Mark's efforts to complete in an expedited fashion all of the punch list items that we are currently aware of relating to the above referenced contract. We are very pleased with the work that your company did to our home and in particular all the overtime work that Lester put in at the end of the contract to complete the stereo cabinet in the lower level. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you need a reference in the future.

I would like to commend Leader Builders Corp. on the outstanding job done on my two remodeling projects. I'm writing this letter in response to the two bath projects your company recently completed in my home ( 12/01 ). The outstanding service has prompted me to write this letter. The entire crew treated my home and family with the utmost respect. My then three year old really took a liking to Peter. To this day, she still asks if he will come back.

I want to compliment your company on its most important commodity your Design Consultant Larry Roche. Larry is a superior individual. During the planning stage of the projects, Larry was always prompt, courteous and diligent at his work. He instilled a quiet confidence in your company, which is one of the reasons I chose to do business with Leader Builders Corp. I knew from the very first phone call that I was going to award the Contract to you guys. I interviewed a total of five contractors. Each spent an average of sixteen minutes in my home. Each gave me a flat price and then informed me that my price would go up or down depending on if I choose products they didn't have in stock. I've experienced harassing phone calls after turning down Contracts. However, Larry was well prepared and spent a little over two hours with me. He made sketches, asked questions, took measurements and was able to answer any and all questions I posed to him.

People like Larry and Peter are hard to find. In today's hectic and high spaced society, no one hardly takes the time out to salute someone for outstanding service. I just want to take this time to say “Hats off to Leader Builders”.

Congratulations on a job well done. Please feel free to use me as a reference. When I decide to complete my next project, I will definitely call upon Leader Builders Corp. for assistance.

You guys really stood up to your motto. MY DREAM DEFINITELY BECAME A REALITY.

To Whom It May Concern:

Leader Builders renovated nine houses for the Albany Park Community Center this year. The work they did for us included masonry, roofing, porches, gutters and downspouts, windows, and doors.

I found their workmanship to be superior. In addition, I found them to be very reasonable about following up on punch list items, and they were a pleasure to work with. I look forward to doing more work with them in the future.

Re: Bathroom Remodeling Job

I wanted to write to say that the people of Leader Builders performed an absolutely terrific job on our bathroom. Me and my husband are just in awe over the turn out. We were a bit skeptical about installing bead board in our bathroom instead of tile but after seeing the aftermath of everything, I would not have had it any other way. Bead board is the way to go in a bathroom. It's just classic and beautiful. It truly makes a fantastic looking bathroom. Thanks to you Larry for making such a wonderful suggestion. I will surely pass the word along to everyone I know about the great job done.

Also, just wanted to say too that the workers in our home were very respectable and pleasant. They asked questions about anything they weren't sure of which meant a lot to me because to me it showed that they cared about how the customer wanted things done. GREAT JOB GUYS. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.

Enclosed with this letter is the final payment due on my project, less the cost of the locksmith to re-key the upstairs door. A copy of the locksmith's receipt is also enclosed.

I would personally like to thank you and your team of contractors and subcontractors for your professional and timely work. The workmen always took the time to clean up at the end of the day and I was able to keep three rooms on the first floor quite livable during this big project. I appreciated that they used ladders to enter the second floor work space, limiting construction dust on the first floor.

Your team was always polite and courteous. You always replied quickly to my calls and questions. Your company worked well with my architect, which we both appreciated.

I am very happy with my new second floor addition, the porch and the deck and the new windows! The new living spaces are working out very well, and the decorating and furnishing are almost done.

Thanks again for your help and hard work on this job- I would definitely recommend your company to others.

We wanted to drop a note to send out sincere appreciation for your outstanding job that was done by Leader Builders on our major expansion and renovation. As you know once we saw the level of service and quality of work, we decided to work with Leader on all facets of our project.

Although a project of this magnitude is never easy, while living at the job site, your crew including Peter, Chester and the highly skilled craftsman, made the experience less stressful with results beyond our expectations. The most impressive performance however was the professionalism and honesty that you offered from day one. Your accessibility, flexibility and expertise were the keys to why we would recommend you and Leader Builders to anyone.

We are thrilled with the results of the kitchen, deck, and other areas, and we send our gratitude to you and all the staff of Leader Builders.

Re: 839 S Laflin Street

New Kitchen and New Bathroom

Thank you for a love new kitchen and bathroom. I am 100% pleased as punch! Your workmen were professional and timely. The construction had only a few delays and the clean up was always done after each day.

My new hardwood kitchen floor matches the living room/dining room hardwood floor perfectly, and the kitchen cabinets are exactly as I wanted. My new Jacuzzi bathtub is relaxing and enjoyed by the whole family. The new tile pattern and floor in the bathroom add warmth and color to that very small space.

Please send me a final accounting of my payments. I have to submit it to my homeowner's insurance company for payment of my claim for damages from the sewer pipe breakage.

Thanks again for a job well done.

I am pleased to enclose herewith the final payment for your work in completely gutting and remodeling our kitchen in our Chicago Condominium. We are as happy with this work as we were with your remodeling of our bathroom last year- and we were delighted at that time.

Since I was dealing with you at a considerable distance. I was especially appreciative that your people were there when you said they would be, their work was excellent, and appreciative that you left the apartment clean “ to my wife's satisfaction'' ( which means you met very high standard), and for your overall concern that we are happy with the results.

Thanks again for making what could have been a difficult process (picking out materials and appliances, working out construction details and costs) a pleasurable experience. I hope I have a chance to recommend you to others in the future.

We now look forward to enjoying our apartment when we visit Chicago.

Dear Mr. Gasiorkiewicz,

After five days, my bath and powder room look like totally new rooms, thanks to the capable workers from Leaders. Peter, Stanley, and with the support of John, who have done a wonderful job. Thank you.

When your home has two unknown workers in it for five days, not only it is important for them to do a good job, but it is also critical that they are courteous, considerate, helpful and even pleasant. This is the way Peter and Stanley conducted themselves at all times, and they made me feel comfortable and confident.

There were so many odd jobs that went beyond the call of duty, that is probable that I will miss some of them but these were some of the additional ways they helped me without being asked, and which were more than they were expected to do: They painted the walls so the mirrors and lights could be hung; they hung hooks for my clothes in the bathroom; they sawed-down the bottom of the door, so it would close better; they hung a mirror that wouldn't fit in the bathroom- out in the dining room and finally, Peter initiated the idea of driving me to Menard's to chose a shelf. He wouldn't accept money for the gas, or for the cover for a light switch he thought I needed!

John was also very considerate and careful in checking to see if everything was satisfactory. He seems to have a lot of responsibility and doesn't take time to give himself a rest, which is probably much needed.

Finally, I must conclude with the thought that being a good leader( hence the name of Leader) must mean choosing the right people for the job. In the case of Peter, Stanley and John, I am assuming you have fulfilled the requirement of a good leader.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dear Mr. Gasiorkiewicz

We have a few questions, please see attached letter, We also wanted to thank your for your excellent service and work product. Both of us were impressed by how hard the people worked during the 7 days it took to complete the bathroom job. And with the work being extensive, from tearing down the old ceiling, all shower walls and part of the floor, all the details look terrific. We are very happy with the entire job. We were also impressed that the work crew did a good job in many different areas; lighting, fixtures, walls, taping and the ceramic tile work all look beautiful.

The result in the bathroom are really nice and illustrate a quality job. We would be happy to supply you with a reference, it needed. ( We will also remember you when we are ready to do our kitchen ceiling)

I wish to commend you and your employees for an excellent remodel of my bathroom.

Having personally an unclear perception of what the finished job would look like, your ideas and creative decisions resulted in a high quality, state of the art construction project.

My wife and I are highly pleased with the remodel and my wife and I personally thank you for a job well done.

I will give my friends your name as a source for any of their remodeling ideas.

Pete and Leader Builders built us a gorgeous new kitchen and powder room, plus they came in on budget and ahead of schedule. We have many friends in the midst of house rehab now and none of them can make those claims about their contractor. We'd highly recommend them.

Dear Leader Builders,

Thank you so much for our beautiful new kitchen and family room. We are really enjoying our new space and are so happy with the way everything turned out. It's almost like we have a new home.

We must say that deciding to do construction can be a scary decision. First of all, you're spending a substantial amount of money. Then you have to be sure that the people you hire will be reliable, trustworthy and do a good job.

Initially, we interviewed several construction companied. We hired Leader Builders because you seemed to be the best ones for the job. We're happy we made that decision.

When people come over to our house are and so impressed with out kitchen we have to tell them all about Leader Builders. We tell them how pleased we are. That you, you were very honest. How you worked hard to stay within our budget. How you helped us in making hard decisions. That you finished on schedule and most of all, that you did great work. We also tell them how confident we are in your work and how available you are when anything comes up.

Thank you for all of your hard work, making our experience a pleasant one and doing a great job.
