SMART Builders did an exceptional job with the renovation of our 70 year old ranch home . We previously lived in a new row home built by Rich Bondarowicz and his team, and the workmanship and attention to detail were impeccable. We experienced similar care and craftsmanship with our recent renovation. Rich helped us develop the design plan and Damian Tomaszewski basically was in daily contact over the last couple months, informing us of what was happening each day or week and answering all of our questions. Damian is meticulous in everything that he does on a project. Their contractors were al…

We purchased our townhome from Smart Builders in November 2019 and could not be happier with our decision to work with Rich, Damian and the rest of the Smart team. Their work is extremely high quality with extraordinary attention to detail. They also stand behind their work and provide great consulting and follow up work (if necessary). We highly recommend working with Rich and his team!

When we began our custom home project, Smart Builders was not our first general contractor. After interviewing several candidates, we selected a GC based on our positive first impression and the fact that he seemed to align with our vision. Unfortunately, this decision was primarily influenced by his willingness to tell us exactly what we wanted to hear, rather than providing a realistic understanding of the project. This was our first custom home build, and while we had a firm budget in mind, we were inexperienced and unsure of what to expect. After spending seven months and a significant am…

Throughout my 28 year career as an interior designer I have collaborated with a number of different builders, contractors, architects, and trades. I can comfortably say working with Smart Builders is by far the most positive experience for myself, for my designers, and homeowners. When I am involved on a Smart Builder project, TEAM is the first word that comes to my mind, and how I would describe the overall experience of this journey. Rich and his team are involved in every aspect of this process, reassuring the homeowners and the entire team that this is a group effort. Rich understands that…

Terrific experience with SMART Builders. The staff is extremely professional, knowledgeable, and helped us design and build the custom home of our dreams! Rich B. is very responsive and attentive to every detail. He is a "hands-on" general contractor, ensures the project is on schedule, and sets proper expectations. Our project manager and sub-contractors were pleasant to work with and equally professional and skilled. We couldn't have asked for a better experience! SMART Builders is like family to us. They remain responsive even post build. We can contact them with any questions and…

We had the pleasure of working with Smart Group Builders – specifically Rich Bondarowicz and Tom Skowron– to build our home in North Barrington. We truly cannot speak highly enough about our experience! A home build is highly emotional and challenging - a lot of big decisions and problems/delays are simply inevitable. We could not have asked for better partners. Rich and Tom are highly communicative, always transparent and truthful, and always at the ready with solution-oriented thinking. They also work consistently with a roster of highly skilled contractors who are 2nd to none in their …

One of the best builders I have ever worked with. Very organized, efficient, and on schedule. Job sites are immaculate. Details worked out to perfection. All orders reviewed and triple checked. It is a pleasure to work with Rich and his team. His eye for design and architecture are exceptional!
