Additional Comments

Additional Comments - Patrick A. Finn is probably not the least expensive option, but we felt that we were always getting premium service and quality, and that our money was well spent.

Workmanship is of high quality, All their staff is extremely professional and their communication skills were so important to a satisfied customer! We were EXTREMELY satisfied with their work and will enjoy our finished porch for many years to come!!

When we started planning our first-floor remodel, we mentioned to a friend we were looking at Patrick A. Finn. His immediate reaction was "Nice, I've heard he's great." When we chose Patrick's plan and got started on the project, that same friend said we "won't be disappointed."

Fast-forward to the end of our project and we couldn't agree more. Patrick and Vicki helped us understand everything involved in our multi-month project. They then ensured it was always organized and efficient while paying significant attention to the details. We absolutely recommend Patrick and his team!

Patrick Finn did a very thorough job remodeling our kitchen, basement and full bathroom. He evaluated each of our current rooms to the studs to be sure that there would be no structural surprises. He talked with us from the very start to understand our everyday routines and our future needs. Patrick listened to our requests and established a plan that could accomplish our hopes within our budget. Patrick's work was excellent and absolute quality. The cabinetry is beautiful and we are enjoying our remodeling immensely!

The team at Patrick A.Finn LTD did a terrific job beginning to end. They enlarged our kitchen, added a dining room space, and added a basement room that we use as a fourth bedroom. The final result is functional and absolutely beautiful. While the final project went over our original budget a bit, it was due to some of our own design choices that we did not want to compromise on, and we are very pleased with the result. The craftsmanship of the work done was outstanding, and we love the new spaces in our home.

Professional & Organized

Professional & Organized - Professional, yes. There were some hiccups throughout the project with organization. The company lost two key team members during our project - first the designer then the project manager. This caused delays, as well as some confusion behind the scenes.

Clean & Safe

Clean & Safe - The only exception to this was during drywall taping - apparently the subcontractor had a conflict and to hire a replacement to do the job. Those workers weren't just sloppy, they actually swept debris and wet drywall mud down the into the brand new HVAC vents. Every other worker as part of the project was very tidy and made sure their tools and supplies were put away at the end of each day. I always felt comfortable walking around in the workspace, and I thought the team as a whole did a great job keeping things neat.

Areas Of Satisfaction

Areas Of Satisfaction - The quality of the work and finishes - the cabinetry they installed is fantastic, and they matched the new hardwood floor to our existing floor perfectly. It was expensive, but it was worth it (you definitely get what you pay for!!)

Their schedule was reliable and all their employees were very professional. They took great care to keep all work areas clean and safe.

Areas For Improvement

Areas For Improvement - Our range hood was initially placed too low though this was not detected until we began using it. However Patrick Finn, LTD took full responsibility, covered all expenses and made all changes that were necessary to put the hood at the correct height. So having the problem didn't meet our expectations BUT the way Patrick Finn, LTD handled the problem for sure did.

I would highly recommend this company to anyone looking to update or completely transform their space. They came to us with the best ideas and out of box thinking.

My wife and I are love our kitchen!! Patrick A Finn came up with a great design to maximize our space. The whole process from first meeting to last went very smoothly. We heard horror stories about projects like this, and the vast array of things that could go wrong. I am happy to say our experience with Patrick A Finn was nothing of the sort. They were professional, organized, clean, and delivered top quality workmanship. If your looking to remodel I strongly recommend you consider them for your project.

Areas Of Satisfaction

Areas Of Satisfaction - Work quality, communication, cleanliness, and professionalism.

From start to finish, our project was treated as if it were Patrick Finn's own home. Our kitchen remodel was taken on by Patrick along with Salute, Inc. and Ringwood Cabinetry to create an environment which would allow our injured Marine Veteran to join in family activites. The entire team took great pride in craftmanship, excellence, and customer satisfaction. Although living through construction is never easy, Patrick's team of professionals did everything to ensure our comfort and the seamless completion of our beautifully remodeled kitchen. We feel truly blessed to have worked with a quality company led by an extremely caring builder who values family, community, service, and paying it forward.

Areas Of Satisfaction

Areas Of Satisfaction - Excellent workmanship

Areas Of Satisfaction

Areas Of Satisfaction - I was most satisfied with the installation crew, the project manager running the job, and the contact that I had with the interior designer. The designer left the company before the project was finished, but made sure to have everything resolved before doing so. It was great working with them. They did a great job.

My kitchen and master bath remodeling experience with Patrick A. Finn was terrible. My expectations for timeline, project management, and professionalism were not met. I definitely did not receive fair value for my money. I do not recommend Patrick A. Finn and am not a satisfied customer.

Areas For Improvement

Areas For Improvement - I am thrilled with my new kitchen and I cannot think of any areas in which Patrick A. Finn Ltd. did not deliver as promised.

Areas Of Satisfaction

Areas Of Satisfaction - Again, I am hard-pressed to pick out an area where they exceeded over another area. However, if pressed, I would guess I would have to say their attention to detail; everything looks beautiful and built to last a long time. Patrick is not just a salesman, he knows construction, and has kept abreast of current codes and designs. His project manager, Greg, keeps you informed of every step along the way. The demolition crew is neat and tidy, cleaning up the work area at the end of the day. And the lead carpenter, Greg II is truly a master craftsman. I am thrilled with their work and the entire experience.

Additional Comments

Additional Comments - I would have to give kudos to the young woman that did his computer design. She did an excellent job in laying out our new kitchen, with many great ideas in the process.

Patrick Finn and his team updated our 1920s home while keeping the original character of the home intact. I had heard all the nightmares of a remodel and not one happened with this team. They communicated effectively and professionally throughout the project. There is an app that they utilize which keeps the schedule and the cost for the whole project and continually updates as things change. This was a great tool for us as I travel and I was still able to stay in contact with the project without being present. We removed a load bearing wall, installed a new HVAC system, removed our chimney, created new electrical on the whole first floor, new kitchen as well as sanded and stained our existing hard wood floors. Our first floor was down to the bare bones and they created a space that is warm, inviting, open, that fits with the age of the home and maintained the original character that we love about our home. The team excels in wood working and cabinetry. The attention to detail is fantastic! We still have more projects to come and we will be definitely be using Patrick Finn for all our further updates!

Areas Of Satisfaction

Areas Of Satisfaction - We were most satisfied with Greg who did all the work on the project. He was extremely knowledgeable, very thorough and patient with us through the entire project.

I've heard of some designers being overly pushy, but she was never that. I thought it was a beautiful experience. She had a great desire to please.

Building a custom home is a reflection of the homeowner. The attention to detail, thought in design, quality of craftsmanship and comfort of living in the home - are all aspects that reflect upon the homeowner. When we decided to tear down and rebuild, finding a construction company that matched these skills with us - forming a partnership was imperative to a the successful outcome. We achieved this with Patrick A Finn, LTD. We couldn't be happier and more comfortable in our new home. Not many people say they would do it again, but we would.

We noticed several Patrick A. Finn green signs around Arlington Heights and were struck with the design and craftsmanship of his homes. When we were in the market to build, we noticed a spec house with the Finn sign in front. We called right away and met with Patrick to learn more about it. Not only did we agree with his philosophy of "making a respectable sized home live big," we fell in love with his humor, Irish accent, commitment to his family and profession, and love for what he did. We knew he was the right person to build us the perfect house for our growing family. After building our home, we had Patrick A. Finn back to finish our basement. His staff and crew were a pleasure to have in our home every day and respected my time and space. The design and quality of their work stands out and every person who enters our home remarks on the quality of the woodwork, moldings, 2-story stone fireplace, transoms, dream kitchen, and functional space. We would build again with Patrick A. Finn.
