It was an absolute pleasure to work with Tranquility on our kitchen renovation. From the first time we met Bev, we felt at ease. At our initial meeting, she looked around, took measurements, and went through what we would like for our space. She pointed out a pipe which might be an issue right away, and we appreciated knowing about this from the get go. Meeting with Ryan and Abbi to design the space was so much fun. It was great to see the 3D renderings. I had my heart set on one long island, but Bev and Ryan came and taped out the space to show me how two islands would be better aesthetically and from a working standpoint. I am so glad they were able to change my mind. Bev was also able to talk me off the cliff on a couple small design elements, pointing out that they would not be easy to change out and were very specific to my taste. She was not pushy at all, but her pointing these out changed my mind. Working with Elliott as our general contractor was great. Any issue that came up, he was on it. He kept us updated about what to expect week to week and sent us a text each evening on what would be going on the next day. This was especially helpful because it helped us to plan what to do with our kids and dog. We could not be happier with how our kitchen turned out, and there is not one thing we would change about it. All of the contractors were professional and did beautiful work. They kept us updated on any changes that needed to be made, and there were no surprises. We would highly recommend Tranquility to anyone looking to renovate their home.
Jim came out to our house for a consult on a Saturday in June. He spent 2.5 hours here taking measurements, pictures, and talking. He said someone would be in touch On Monday or Tuesday to confirm everything we talked about. After not hearing back, I sent an email to Ryan both as a gentle nudge to remind them to contact us and also to let them know the scope of the project changed. Its now the middle of August and we never heard a word back from either Jim or Ryan. Huge bummer, we really liked Jim and his ideas. Oh well.
The Tranquility experience was 5 stars all the way! Bev and Jim were great to work with for the overall planning of our master bath remodel, and along with Elliot, Ryan, Sean and their contractors the job came out great. VERY clean (a major remodel is never clean, but they did an excellent job of minimizing the dust and disruptions),They also were quite responsive to our questions, requests and concerns and replied in a timely manner.We honestly feel like we are on vacation every time we use our new bath!Great value for the money spent and we highly recommend Tranquility Builders for your next project.
We worked with Tranquility on a master bath remodel and are thrilled with the results. They were collaborative and communicated effectively along the way. You cannot go wrong using them for your project.
Working with Tranquility Builders was a dream! We had never hired a contractor before and felt quite apprehensive about the whole process. From our first meeting with Bev, we felt heard and at ease. The whole Tranquility team provided us with top-notch work and were so pleasant and responsive to work with. We had a rotting back patio that was supporting our house so we knew we needed to hire a contractor with the experience to do the job right the first time. In addition, they did a fantastic job on remodeling our kitchen. What a pleasure it was to work with them, and their whole crew. Would highly, highly recommend them to anyone!
Tranquility remodeled our whole 1st floor taking down walls, enlarging doorways to give us a larger kitchen and a better footprint! The whole team was very knowledgeable and helped with suggestions and changes along the way. We couldn’t be happier with the finished results. Thanks Tranquility for a great job!!!
Major renovations while living in the chaos can be daunting. From the moment Ryan came to talk over our design ideas, we felt quality and pride in what Tranquility could offer us.After design with Bev and Ryan, progress began with walls coming down safely and work progressing through Elliott’s project management, the Sean’s muscle and follow-up, Jim’s help in selecting the right stone and outstanding sub-contractors; everything in these uncertain times kept rolling to completion.Reno’s aren’t easy, but we always knew Tranquility and their quality work, with friendly and thorough sub-contractors would get the job done. Especially in the middle of COVID-19!We love our new home and recommend Tranquility for any of your renovation or new builds. They care, as only a family working together can care. Give them a call. You’ll be happy you did!
Tranquility Builders are an amazing company to work with! They came in this time to do a small repair on a problem created by another contractor. I was a nervous wreck, and Bev immediately put my mind at ease. Bev and her team were fast, professional, and overall wonderful to work with. Thanks, Tranquility Team!
Tranquility was a pleasure to work with.Unlike other house renovation stories weve heard in the past, they actually finished the project on-time. We would receive a text the night before informing us who would be arriving the following morning (carpenter, painter etc...) and when, and lo and behold they would arrive on time.They had some great ideas regarding kitchen design that we utilized, and were glad we listened to them.Their contractors were also great to deal with and had a can-do attitude.Were very happy with our new house, and we would highly recommend Tranquility to anyone.
Tranquility Builders did a complete redesign/remodel of our small townhouse kitchen. What a difference! They came up with a design that made great use of a confined space, making it so much more attractive, efficient, and user-friendly. Their talented staff was friendly, responsive, and on-time!
We had a great experience with the entire Totsch family as they helped do a complete renovation of our master bathroom. They oversaw a complete transformation of the space into a luxurious bathroom that makes us feel like were living in a hotel.There were two things I liked best about Tranquility. The first was their communication: Each night, wed get a text from Elliott outlining what work would take place the next day and when the workers would be arriving. If youve ever worked with a contractor, you know this is not always something that happens. It was really appreciated.The second was the attention to detail. If anything needed an adjustment or touch-up, Tranquility was happy to see to it. Ive never worked with anyone that did a better job of following up on bucket-list items. They werent happy until we were happy!We really enjoyed working with Tranquility and hope to do so in the future!
We had such a great experience with Tranquilty beginning to end. In the beginning we didn’t know exactly how we wanted our basement to come together. Ryan was able to take all of our conversations and transform them into a beautiful design. Elliot and his team brought that dream design to life! Both Ryan and Elliot were always available, responsive, answered any crazy question we threw at them and even through a pandemic they finished our basement without delay! We are grateful for our beautiful new basement and will definitely return to Tranquilty for projects in the future!
Awesome experience. We found Tranquility at a home improvement show, and decided to move forward with them because they are a family business. The attention to detail was fantastic and the concern for the family and rest of the house while work was being done was on point. We have more projects down the road and will definitely use Tranquility.
We had a great experience with Tranquility Builders remodeling our kitchen and bathrooms. They are very professional and we appreciated their attention to detail. Bev has great design ideas and she helped us make design selections that exceeded our expectations. Everything turned out amazing and we love how they transformed our home. We highly recommend Tranquility Builders.
We had a great experience with Tranquility builders. You hear many horror stories about how home remodeling, but that was not our story. We had our master bathroom redone. They were prompt, attentive to our requests, and kept to the timeline for the build as we had hoped. The people they brought in to do the work all did a great job. In the end, we were really satisfied. I would recommend them to anyone who has home improvement needs!
Tranquility made our kitchen dreams come true! For 22 years, we lived with a chopped up kitchen that was cramped and outdated. Tranquility knocked down walls and opened up the possibilities. Our kitchen is the wide open, beautiful space weve always wanted. They also created an attractive and useful mud room for us. Bev gave us great design ideas and took the time to shop with us and show us various options for counter tops, cabinetry, back splash, flooring, windows, etc. The entire Tranquility team and subs were efficient, responsive, and completely on schedule (even early!)...and on budget. Several of our friends in the neighborhood have used Tranquility and highly recommended them to us. We would highly recommend them to any and all! Fair prices, high quality work. What more could you ask for?
I have been working with Tranquility Builders, as a sub contractor, for over a year. Having worked with many builders in the past I am very impressed with their attention to detail.Bev and company go above and beyond in their design aspects to provide customers with what they are looking for. They provide extensive knowledge to ensure a finished product, often times, better than anticipated. They do not cut corners and they get the job done in a efficient fashion. I, absolutely, would recommend Tranquility Builders to my friends and family.
My company has worked with Tranquility Builders for years and have always had the best experience. I work in the plumbing wholesale business so we work closely together to help homeowners pick their plumbing fixtures. The Totschs treat everyone like family. They are kind, caring, and they listen to what you have to say. From the professional standpoint, there are just certain people you know you are going to have a good experience with every single time, and Tranquility is that company. You would be making the right decision to use this company for your building needs.
Tranquility did a complete basement finishing for our family. From start to finish they were professional, helpful, and not pushy the entire process. They were flexible with timing, decisions, and finishing materials, which allowed us to create our ideal basement. Highly recommend them for you home finishing/remodel needs.
Tranquility remodeled our kitchen with the greatest crew and sub contractors you could ever ask for. The work was done to perfection.If you have remodeling to do, give these people chance to make yourdreams come true. Giving them a 5+.
The whole Tranquility team worked together to transform our kitchen. I highly recommend them to anyone needing home improvements big or small. Extremely professional, always on time, overall 5 stars
Very professional with proposals and job site maintenance/ clean-up. I couldnt ask for a better company to entrust my property with! I will be recommending them to all of my friends without hesitation.
Jim, Bev and the whole Tranquility team were a pleasure to work with. They listened to our needs, carefully walked us through the process and were always open to our ideas and concerns. Everyone at Tranquility is very professional and we couldnt be happier with the results.
My family just completed our 2nd home project with Tranquility. I could not be happier with the results. I appreciated their professionalism, honesty in pricing & original proposal, and ran into very few problems throughout the project. Even more so, I never worried about having Tranquility in my home, even when I was at work. Tranquility makes you feel as valued as if they were working in a family members home. I guarantee that any other projects that I take on will be with Tranquility.When in doubt, you can always rely on the tried & true advice of What would Bev recommend? :)
They listen to what you would like. Listen being the key word.They want you to be happy and make your dreams come true. Professionals, trustworthy, perfectionists to detail, keep you informed daily of every step in the process, no hidden costs and on time. We had a kitchen with a vaulted ceiling, 3 drawers, 3 cabinets, open shelving and no counter top work space. We had a front room which we hardly used with a regular ceiling. I wanted to open the front room ceiling, open the kitchen to a homey dinning area. Every morning when I go in I still cannot believe its my kitchen! I have every bell and whistle imaginable in my kitchen thanks to Bev, Jim and Elliot! Every worker: carpenters, electricians, painters, plumbers were absolutely superb! Anyone and everyone is welcome to come and view their amazing work. I assure you, you will not be disappointed. We are ECSTATIC! We love you all! Thanks for making my dream kitchen and dinning area a reality!! Ranee Sudkamp Forest View, IL.
Contacted them to build a house for us. Bev came out and met with us and said they’d love to do the job. Promised to send us info the next day and we never heard back. My husband tried to get in touch with them and we never heard back. We were so hopeful but so let down. We will build our house with another builder.
You couldnt pay me enough to hire Tranquility Builders again. I was assured they knew how to build a front porch. They didnt! They used the cheapest materials possible. The floor is facing the wrong way. The rail tops are 2 x 4s with visible screw heads on the top. The gutters were pitched wrong and damaged the ceiling. When I complained I was treated like I was a stupid woman. I couldnt wait for them to leave.
We highly recommend Tranquility Builders. They have been with us for remodeling projects for most of the rooms in our home over the last several years. Bev, Jim and Elliott Totsch are very professional and have always treated our home with respect. They have great ideas and suggestions for things we had not even considered. They are with you every step of the process from design, to construction and through selection of finishes.They always respond to texts and phone calls in a timely manner. Our recent project was a three season room which far exceeded our expectations We really appreciate their attention to detail and insightful design ideas. They have help us a create a beautiful home.Sam and Linda Terese
Tranquillity Builders has done everything for me from finishing my basement to complete refinishing of my hardwood floors. They have corrected concrete problems in my garage, installed a whole house, dual zone HVAC, replaced plumbing fixtures, installed exhaust fans in my master bath and have even shown up to replace outdoor exhaust vents in the middle of the day when I struggled to do so by myself. I could not feel more blessed to have happened upon this incredibly professional and reliable family business. I have worked with Bev, Jim and their sons for years now. Their commitment to your satisfaction and level of detail are unparalleled compared to any builder I have encountered before. Call them. You will not be disappointed.
I will definitely recommend Tranquility for any home improvement job you may be thinking about. To begin with, Bev is very thorough, and honest, with her estimate. She gave us all ins and outs on every choice we had to make. She ensured we made an educated decision about our project every step of the way. Jim is fantastic, he is a pleasure to work with, especially when it comes to stones, granites etc. Last but not least, Elliott, he was the action man for us, to get the job done. He pays attention to detail and does not hesitate to call his people back if any job is not done per our (customer) satisfaction. All in all, its my experience that Tranquility team is very customer oriented and made sure we are happy every step of the way.
I highly recommend Tranquility Builders. They installed granite counter tops, brick backsplash, refinished my oak cabinets, painted casements on 9 new windows, painted 10 six-panel oak doors and door jams and baseboards throughout. Jim made sure everything was exactly what I wanted, met us at tile store for brick selection. When there was a slight delay with his painting crew, he refused to send anyone else based on the excellence of Gregg and his crew. He was right. Our kitchen looks fabulous!!!! Aside from the never-ending dust from sanding:) every crew coming in were very conscious of getting floor and personal items covered and protected. We are already on their calendar for our master bathroom and bedroom remodel, and I wouldnt hire anyone else. Thanks Jim and ALL!!
Every detail taken care of. Great people to do business with.
So disappointed, came out took measurements and then canceled follow ups and never heard from them again. Apparently they didn’t a kitchen remodeling job!
Just finished a, down to the studs, kitchen remodel. Jim is a pleasure to work with, end result is exactly what we wanted.
