These guys are the best! They built me the shop/garage of my dreams. I WILL definitely be using them again. Thanx for guiding me through the red tape. 👍

The Rohrer crew is great! They showed up promptly to "fix" numerous projects on our list before the holidays. They completed every item better than expected and cleaned up afterwards. They are professional and easy to work with. We will definitely have them back to complete some additional projects. Thanks Adolph and team for an excellent job!

Adolph and crew were awesome helping us get our home back together after a water leak. They were all great communicators, efficient, and did quality work. We needed floors, walls, and cabinets torn up and replaced then painted. Our home looks great again thanks to them!

Adoph is a joy to work with. He offered advice and agreed to build the infrastructure for a deck that I was not competent to handle. I took the advice of his team to finish the TimberTech and rails myself and am delighted with the outcome. It took a lot more manpower and expertise from his crew to build the foundation than I expected so I have a much greater appreciation for the team.

I had stairs added onto my back deck, and I spoke with Adolph who was extremely friendly and came to my house to check it out the next day, when we got there he gave a fair price and the employees were actually able to get the job done the same day! I had so much trouble finding someone to complete such a simple job, but I am so glad I found Roher For Construction. Would 100% recommend!

A few years ago, we put a second story on our house. In the process we put an additional furnace and central air unit to accommodate the additional space. What we didn’t know was that the builder had in fact built the furnace into the wall. There were openings for access but they were very small. We were able to get the unit cleaned and maintained, but as time went on and the thought of potentially replacing the furnace neared, we realized this was going to be a problem. We literally could not remove the furnace from the space. We needed to address the issue before the furnace went out. We made some calls. The first two people said that they would not touch it. The third person said they needed to consult an engineer. Then Adolph Rohrer took a look. He was able to confidently assess the problem. He quickly got back to us with a reasonable solution to the problem. He then quickly got us on the schedule when it worked for our schedule. We are more than pleased with the work and are confident that when the furnace needs to be replaced, it will not be an issue.

Fantastic experience and amazingly trustworthy. I needed to remodel a house in Grayslake but I lived in another state. My main concern was finding a contractor who I could trust and that immediately resolved when I spoke to Adolph. He promptly prepared a quote that included remodeling the whole house, pushed back (good thing) on my aggressive timeline, and then completed the work on time and on budget, all while I was remote. I truly can’t say enough great things about Rohrer and they receive 5 star recommendation from me. For what it is worth I hardly ever write reviews but did so in the hope this may help someone like me who was looking for an honest contractor.

Adolf, Austin, and the crew truly did a marvelous job. I couldn't be more appreciative of the courteous professionalism they exemplified from beginning to end. It began with the planning stages of how is the family to function without access to certain day-to-day amenities and they went above and beyond to accommodate for us to make the least impact on our daily life. They offered me the best estimate and fixed the project almost a week before the agreed upon completion date. I would highly recommend this company to anyone and everyone who is looking for a refresh for their home

UPDATE:Austin contacted me and quickly and kindly addressed my concerns. A different painter came over to fix the painting issues. The other issues were taken care of as week. Austin showed me that they are willing to make sure that things are done correctly in the end. We both may have dropped the ball by not getting a final walkthrough. In the end my project is just what I wanted, although a bit frustrating, which happens in life.

I don’t know how they have so many good reviews. The person who put in our floor was great. The rest of our experience left LOT to be desired. The painters did a terrible job and did not paint all they were supposed to paint. Tried to get cash out of us to do a “premium” job. Did not use painters tape, primer or tarps. They dripped paint everywhere. My counters, kitchen table, staircase, new floor. Paint color not quite right. Left bags of garbage in the house which we didn’t know till a visitor’s dog got into it and dragged all over. Cleaned brushes in kitchen sink which I then had to scrub. There was damage to our kitchen countertop.
Our doors still don’t have handles. Paint is peeling and chipping within a week. (We have no kids and no pet at the time)
Cuts around light are terrible.
Communication was horrid. Never knew if someone was showing up. Would go days without hearing anything. One time nearly a week.
Damaged our new siding when putting in slider. Didn’t cut vent correctly and cannot put in vent cover cuz hole is too small and got paint all over the old one. So now we either live with this crap, go to court or pay someone else to fix this shoddy workmanship. They do not return my husband’s calls.

I photographed Rohrer For Construction work and nothing but positive things to say about them. As a real estate and interior photographer I photographed a lot of remodeled interiors but Rohrer For Construction work is outstanding.
Their expertise, workmanship and great attention to details shows in their work. If experience, professionalism and quality work are some of the things you are looking for, then Rohrer For Construction is the company you should choose for any construction project you might have. You won’t be disappointed! I’m sure you will love your newly remodeled/build/designed interiors or exteriors. Solid and trustworthy company. I’m sure you will be thrilled with the results!
