HIGHLY RECOMMEND! We hired URB Remodeling to install new countertops and backsplash for our kitchen and are SUPER happy with the results! Remi was super patient with my husband and I throughout the whole process, since we take forever to make mutual decisions. He provided several quotes along the way until we knew what we wanted - major kudos to him changing direction with us so many times! The team was efficient, clean, and professional when it came to the actual install. Everyone went above and beyond to ensure seamless execution and it showed in the end results!

Remi and his team did an incredible job with finishing our basement. With a little one on the way, we needed to make more space fast. After calling several places and getting insane quotes or multi-month wait times, I called URB. Remi came out and listened to what we wanted to do, pitched some good ideas and came back with a fair price that matched the ballpark of what my friend who flips homes said it should be. Remi and his team got started earlier than I expected and were finished in just three weeks! All through the process, I got great communication, helpful suggestions, and top notch quality. Remi even provided a creative solution to another issue we were having with one of the beam cracking, by extending part of the framing to provide support. The outcome looks fantastic, even better than I had envisioned. I cannot recommend URB enough, probably the most positive experience I have ever had with remodeling/repairs to our home ever. If we ever do any type of remodeling in the future, I know who to call.

Worked with Remi and his team on a small insulation project that was a miss in the remodel of our house before we bought it. Remi was responsive and quickly provided an estimate and was able to get his team to us in good time, though it was a smaller job and the market and ability for someone to work on a smaller job is a challenge now. Pleased with the workmanship and effort of his team

Remi at URB is an excellent general contractor that has a great team of subcontractors working for him. I used Remi for a large renovation in my first home - his professionalism and demeanor made an otherwise stressful experience much more enjoyable. He was timely, communicated well, and delivered outstanding results. I will be using Remi and URB again the next time I need any work done.

Fantastic experience! Remi and his team were great to work with. He gave us a quick quote for our project paired with a realistic timeline. He and his team were on time, respected the timeline and the budget. Remi was very responsive to any of the questions we had during the project, listened to the suggestions we made and was quick to find solutions when we had unexpected surprises (you always have some unexpected items pop up during big projects like this one). Would recommend URB Remodeling & Renovation Co and Remi to everyone out there who needs a good contractor.

Remi and his team do amazing work! I have used him several times and will definitely be using him again. The before and after photos don't even look like the same house. He listened to my ideas and created a beautiful and functional space. deb

I highly recommend this company. I had a problem with a toilet that was (very poorly) installed 4 years ago. There was a sewage odor that was the result of a poorly sized and lined up wax ring. I got Remi’s name from a friend and in a matter of days the job was done, and at a very reasonable price I might add. The plumber, Abel is the nicest, sweetest guy in the world. I know Remi does much bigger jobs than this and I appreciate that he took the time to help me out. Great company.

We used Remi & his team to do a complete remodel of our Michigan Avenue Condo when we purchased in 5 years back. So when it came time to sell it this year, we reached out to him again to fix up a few things that needed to be refreshed. Like in the past his team was prompt, responsive, on-time and on-budget. Remi and URB are our go-to team for remodeling in Chicago.

First rate Professionals from start to finish! I had the pros at URB remodeling install a kitchen ventilation fan in our condominium where there was none. Remi came out and thoroughly investigated everything. I received a very detailed estimate and scheduled the work. All communications were always on time, clear and responsive. When Remi and Robert came to do the work they meticulously covered and protected everything in the Kitchen area. They were simply terrific with the installation and cleanup. I would highly recommend URB remodeling for any remodeling, renovation or construction work you may have

I have only the most positive things to say about Remi. We had URB do fairly extensive renovation work in our new home prior to us moving in, which included a full gut rehab of the kitchen, installing a pantry shelf, redoing a fireplace, converting a large bedroom into two smaller ones, refinishing floors and painting all the interior walls. It was great working with Remi on the kitchen design (we did not use another architect/designer) - he was very helpful in converting our ideas into what was practical and also did several rounds of renderings for us. He was extremely responsive throughout the whole process, which was very reassuring. All of this was amid the pandemic as well, and so we were worried that the work wouldn’t get done due to supply and labor shortages. However, Remi got everything wrapped up within 2 months and we couldn’t be more happy with the work they did. He’s been very responsive even after the work was complete to help us out with a couple of more things in the home. I would happily recommend him and his work for any home projects you want to get done, large or small.

I can't say enough good things about URB. We had a complete gut kitchen remodel, and after a not-so-great experience with another remodeling company in our bathroom because we went with the cheaper estimate, we went with our gut and decided to work with Remi. Yes, the estimate was slightly higher but it was worth every penny. The job was done exactly as we wanted, and the communication was absolutely excellent. Remi was responsive every day, even if we just had simple questions. He calmly and professionally explained things to us, and even added some wonderful ideas, such as a hidden fume hood we had never heard of before. When we had changes in the middle of the project, such as putting in a mini fridge, he adjusted and gave us fair pricing for the labor. The workers were friendly every single day, and surprisingly clean. Every day after they worked they wiped down the floors and made sure we could still navigate through the space when we had to. On top of all of this, we were given a 6-8 week timeline. In the middle of the project we realized that some of the floor was not finished under our old island, and it took a little time to get someone in to refinish that portion of the floor - and still, somehow, Remi hit the 6-week mark for the project. Remi and URB really exceeded our expectations, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. We love our kitchen and wake up every day loving our home so much more than we did before!

What hasn't URB done for us? From waterproofing the outside of our house to prevent flooding, making a bedroom and full bath in our basement, redoing our outside porch, a new roof on our garage, painting etc...I trust this company above any other. Straight forward and professional, Remi is a straight shooter . He and his team are timely, efficient, and the quality of their work is above and beyond. The next time you are looking for a contractor I would definitely give URB a try!

Remi & his team surpassed all of my expectations! They were wonderful to work with & Remi was very responsive to any questions I had throughout the process! You can tell his team is very dedicated in what they do! They did a gut rehab of my condo and the whole process went smoothly! His ideas were invaluable! He played an instrumental role in the kitchen design and provided alot of insight on what is trending! We always could lean on Remi’s recommendations and advice! I have a high regard for Remi and his team! I would definitely recommend him to family and friends! I will definitely use URB’s services again in the future!

I’m so happy to have found URB Remodeling. From start to finish I couldn’t be happier. I worked with Remi and he came up with a plan to not only upgrade but redesign our kitchen for better functionality, storage space and just the look of the space in general. He showed us ideas of layouts we didn’t even know were possible. All while staying within our budget. The workers were prompt and clean and did an amazing job. Remi was attentive through the entire process, he even went as far as speaking to me after normal business hours, while I was trying to figure out something regarding the appliances I was getting when the employee at the appliance store didn’t have the answer. Really and truly above and beyond. The job was done in the timeframe that was promised. Highly recommend.

We recently remodeled our bathroom after gathering up all of the finishes. We live in a pretty standard Chicago condo, so storage was very needed. Remi and the URB team could not have been more helpful throughout the process. Even when we had a bit of a tile fiasco, they calmly guided us through our options. We couldn't be happier with how everything turned out!

I used URB for bathroom & kitchen remodels, a powder room refresh and new flooring. I'm beyond pleased with the results. The quality of work was impressive. The crew was prompt and cordial. And Remi proved to be a great project manager. He set timing and pricing expectations from the jump. He was transparent and articulate throughout the process. He was always accessible via phone call, text or email too. These were the things that mattered to me most going into this project and Remi knocked them all out. Remodeling a home sucks. It's expensive and stressful. By building a rapport with us and empathizing with our situation, Remi made the process as easy as it could be. I would definitely use URB again and recommend them to anyone looking to have work done to their home.

We had a great experience with URB Remodeling. They were responsive and organized and guided us through the project to make things easier and less overwhelming. Remi even accompanied us to the tile store to help us make selections. The project remained on schedule and we are very happy with all of the work that was completed. We love our new bathroom and will use URB remodeling for future projects! We highly recommend them.

Remi & his team were professional, on-time, and cared about the quality of their work. After the first visit, we discovered a small issue (unrelated to anything that URB did) and I called the company back to see if they could fix it. They were out the very next day to finish the job and make sure we were completely satisfied. It is exactly this commitment to quality & customer service that is so rare today. My wife and I will happily be loyal repeat clients. I recommend URB thoroughly.

Remi Taylor was referred to me by the building in which I own and rent a unit. He responded very quick to my call and got me a reasonable estimate ASAP. I had his firm URS replace my flooring from Carpeting to laminate. He met all my timing and responded quickly to any of my questions or concerns. He also repair some broken light fixtures that I noticed after we started the job. I feel got money's worth. I would definitely use him a gain. Easy to work with and trustworthy. Tony

We hired URB to repair and restore our basement after a small flood. The new tile floor is perfection! All of the work is top-notch. The price was reasonable, and the workmen were punctual, polite, respectful, and so tidy. I would use URB in the future for any other remodeling needs that might arise.

Very professional and respectful. Best customer service of any contractor in all my years in Chicago. They missed a couple spots for painting but came back immediately and fixed it after I told them. Pricing was very fair. I would definitely work with them again.

Remi and his team did an amazing job updating our bathroom. I requested a quote, and Remi came out right next morning--that's when I knew this is the company to go with. They are prompt, professional and got great design senses. We're very happy with the result and we will be using them again for any renovation projects. After our bathroom update, we also installed recessed lights in our livingroom and basement area with URB team. Again, they made things go so much easier for us with their prompt, professional services and personable people. I will continue to use their service!

Finishing of my basement was something I wanted to do for a while. I called this company for an estimate, they came out the next day... Remi was very knowledgeable, he answered all my questions and provided good guidance on layout and the materials to use. They finished the work in the time specified, no surprises or additional cost. I’m very happy with the work, the workers and I would recommend URB Remodeling to anyone looking to finish their basement in Chicago.

I really appreciate Remi's responsiveness and professionalism throughout the kitchen "refresh". I had my kitchen repainted, new hardware installed and new pendant lighting installed. I'm very happy with the the new look of my kitchen. Remi was easy to work with from the virtual estimating process, to contracting and to the final invoice phase. I would highly recommend URB for your remodel needs and I hope to do business again with Remi and URB.

They did our bathroom remodel in a pool area. We are busy working and the kids with their studies that is why we rarely use the pool and bathroom in that area. I am very pleased with the outcome of their job. The bathroom looks amazing and really functional. They work within our budget and I highly recommend this bathroom remodeling contractors in Lincolnwood.

URB has done a number of projects for my home over the past several years, including a remediation, mitigation and restoration of my basement after a flood, power washing the brick, woodwork and lime stone of the facade of my home, power washing of my deck, tuck pointing of two vertical fractures of two exterior walls of my home, and painting of the walls of my den.
Relative to 5 or 6 other companies from whom I've received cost estimates, they are always the lowest, yet their work is invariably excellent. They are reliable, clean, very knowledgeable, and most important to me of all their superb qualities, they will not finish a job until you're completely satisfied.
