“To Whom it May Concern

I have been a customer of Zenek Piersa / City and Suburbs Construction for many years. I have used them personally for smaller projects and for a large roof/deck reconstruction project on behalf of Dearborn Village V. They have always done a great, professional job within budget.

Of particular note was the large reconstruction project over multiple buildings. That was a particularly difficult repair to make due to the complexity of the building design. It took months of planning with an architect and Zenek to come up with a solution. Many of the lower units at the complex were subject to water leaks for years. They were first repaired by a different construction company to no avail. City and Suburbs fixed the problem and have regularly returned to the job site to perform follow up inspections.

Personally and as a Dearborn Village V board member, I highly recommend City and Suburbs Construction for the most complex repairs. Please feel free to call me at 312.933.7712 with any additional questions.””

“City and Suburbs Construction have worked on a number of projects with us and we have been excited about seeing their name as Contractor on those projects, because of the quality of work they are able to produce. We understand the Client and Contractor relationship, and City and Suburbs has been easy to work with. We look forward to continuing our relationship with City and Suburbs on future projects.””

“Zenek Piersa and City & Suburbs Construction have completed the restoration of the front and back porches of my historic landmark home. The projects were both delivered as promised, completed with outstanding craftsmanship, which greatly enhanced the value of my home. I’ve worked with contractors of fine skill and craftsmanship before, but what I found unique to Zenek Piersa is a high level of integrity and commitment to dothe- right-thing.

He’s a joy to work with, quick with the solution to pesky problems and his team is disciplined and respectful. All of that is good, but knowing you’ll be treated fairly, is priceless.”

“Working with Agnes and Zenek has made my job as a portfolio property manager much easier.  Quotes are concise and affordable. Work is accomplished in the time quoted. Love having a vendor that I can award a contract to and not have to worry or micromanage the process.  Definitely one of my go to vendors for all types of work.  Highly recommended.”

“We met Zenek Piersa through a friend of ours who highly recommended him as a contractor. We haven’t been disappointed. Mr. Piersa is professional, thorough and honest. He may send various craftsmen to work on the project but he oversees everything from start to finish. We’ve used him on various projects and will continue to use him and recommend Mr. Piersa to our friends in the future.””

“We wanted to express our thanks and immense pleasure for the work you and your team performed on our home this past year. We envisioned an addition that would not only add value to our home but create a unique retreat that be inviting to anyone that stepped foot into our home.

Moreover, we never anticipated that the project so grand in scope would have gone so swiftly or painlessly (fairly). You and your team were able to help our dream room(s) become a reality and you did so with a positive professional attitude. We were particularly impressed with and grateful for your constant reliability and ability to work within our limited budget.

As you know, we have highly recommended you to our friends and neighbors because we feel you are capable, professional, reliable and reasonable and will be happy to continue doing so. Please feel free to use us as a reference when in need. We are looking forward to working with you again and wish City & Suburbs Construction continued success.”

“Proud to submit a customer testimonial to Mr. Piersa: I recently moved my downtown office into a light industrial corridor near the United Center on the west side of Chicago. In doing so, the place we chose was in need of repair and the property owner was ammicable to enhancing the property. I called on Mr. Piersa, who I was told could help me with the miriad of work needed. As I too am in a service/trade industry, I was very impressed at how intent he listened to the needs I expressed and understood what we needed from the facility. He took those needs and drove cost effective solutions in a preofessional workmanlike manner. Improvements included adding a 2nd bathroom, re routing a water pipe which extended outdoors and fabricated an insulatin box (very creative,) created an electrical station to plug in my 23 Diesel trucks, completely renovated individual work spaces for 12 foreman, all electrical, drywall, painting and lighting. This was done at a fair price & high quality for what we were trying to achieve. I never doubted completion of a deadline or resonsivness. Mr. Piersa always checked in on his employees and insured satisfaction before submitting invoincing.”

Sincerely,

“What do you look for in a contractor? Well, you want a contractor to:

1. Start the project upon the agreed date
2. Complete the project upon the agreed date
3. Stay in budget
4. Make suggestions or propose alternatives that you may not have considered
5. Be responsive regarding those inevitable follow up items that need to be addressed

You get that from Zenek Piersa and his team. So far I have used him twice, in the fall of 2007 and the summer of 2008. In 2007 he and his team corrected leaking in my roof, addressed the water damage in a bedroom as a result of that leak, built me a great new deck out of composite material and did some other minor repairs. In 2008 Zenek Piersa and crew painted my whole house top to bottom, ceilings, woodwork, banisters, wall, the whole thing. They also refinished all of my wood floors plus some other repairs. Both times I was extremely pleased. Zenek Piersa and crew are very thorough. I will definitely use them for my next project.”

“Dear Zenek Piersa,

First of all I wanted to thank you for the work that you just did at my home. My wife loves the deck and is spending lots of time enjoying this summer on the deck. I was really impress with the quality of work and finishing the project within the time frame that we specified. I will keep you in mind for all of my future house projects that we might plan on doing.

On another note, I will continue to refer your name out to all of my clients. You have been very professional in accommodating all of there needs in the past. Once again thank you and I look forward to working with you in the future. Have a great day! ”

Over the last 9 years I have consistently selected City and Suburbs Construction as my first choice in the rehab of my 133 year old single family home. They are very skilled in the trades and have done everything from rebuilding my entire roof line and masonry of the parapet wall to excavating the adjacent property lot for conversion into an outdoor room. I most recently chose Zenek and his team to pour an entirely new basement foundation.

They assist in the permitting process, layout out reasonable milestone schedules, and deliver on time.

City and Suburbs construction has consistently surpassed my expectations in quality of work and overall professionalism. I highly recommend anyone to compare their job estimate to any others as I have not found a bid that they are not only competitive with, but when the quality of work is factored in, superior to all other bids I have received.

Thank you
