" We used Martin for a major renovation of our basement, as well as a few associated projects. Martin provided value in three key ways. First, he capably undertook tasks with a minimum of direction, easily interpreting requests and translating them into completed projects - for instance, when we suddenly said we wanted to replace our windows, and wanted the new windows to be reasonably priced and composite, he delivered a finished product that was exactly as requested, while requiring very little input from us. At the same time, Martin proved valuable in holding us back, preventing impractical or unnecessary work. Finally, Martin brought our projects a group of great individual finish craftsmen, whose only flaw was to make our basement finishes outshine. others' work elsewhere in our house. You will have to compete with us for Martin's time, as we intend to continue to use him for future work. "

" Martin Flynn is a skillful and honest contractor who is smart and resourceful. He built a three story shaft for a new elevator in our vintage home, a project that required rerouting pipes, vents, and electricity, as well as creating a pit and machine room in our basement. We were impressed with his precision, problem solving, and patience. When the elevator company experienced delays, Martin coordinated his work schedule to fit with theirs. He also carefully matched the finishing stain for the door and trim so the the elevator entrance looks perfectly natural in our 1904 Victorian home. The cost he quoted us for the entire job never went up. On both this job and later projects, he was completley honest about what did and didn't need to be done. After being bamboozled by other contractors , we were so grateful to work with Martin. We give him our highest recommendation. "

" You can't go wrong with a skilled contractor who is a local and takes every single project seriously and professionaly like he is building his own house! Martin Flynn and his crew did a terrific job for the second story addition and the "down to stud" remodeling project for the single family house we purchased from him in 2015. Martin was very responsive to all the communication during the project and the purchase process. From architechtural drawing and main frame structure down to electrical and plumbing, all of his work was licensed and permitted from the city hall. He offered one year warrenty and guarenteed 100% satisfaction for any touch-up work post purchase. For these reasons, we recently hired his team back to build a brand new covered front porch, and it was another great success! We highly recommend him for any type of building or remodeling projects.

" My wife and I live in a house thats been in the family since it was built in the 1920’s. Our family was raised and the house was in dire need of a rehab. Thankfully, we were referred to Flynn’s Contracting. We quickly realized we were in the hands of a consummate professional. Martin helped us envision the final product for our full basement and first floor rehab. He was open to all our ideas and encouraged us on what would and ultimately would not work, walking us through each step of the way. His craftsmanship is amazing and because of him, we were able to modernize our home while keeping its old Chicago charm. We can’t thank Martin enough and look forward to working with him again. We love our new home! "

" We have done projects on a few different houses over the years with a few different contractors. Martin has been our favorite and we would love to continue using him for any future contracting needs. He was easy to work with, high quality work, and came in on budget for both time and money. "

" We worked with Martin on a complete gut renovation of our 1908 home in Edgewater. Overall, we were extremley pleased with the process and results of the projects. Martin was great to work with, very thorough, professional, and helpful working through issues that came up during the build. His pricing was fair, the quality excellent, and he kept the site neat and orderly at all times. Most importantly, we felt that Martin was honest and dependable - he showed up when he said he would and always treated us fairly. We're thrilled with our new home and we've since recommended Martin to several of our friends doing similar projects. "

" We have used Martin (Flynn's Contracting) for several jobs our my home over the past few years. He rehabbed our entire first floor including a kitchen remodel, and reworking duct work in the house. He also replaced our front porch and remodeled our master bath. Not only is Martin extremely easy to work with, he completed every project on time and within the fee he quoted us. He was always patient and helpful when we had questions or changed something mid-project. He takes great pride in his work and did not finish a project until he was sure we were happy with everything. Since completing the various projects for us, we have been thrilled with the results and have had no problems. We continue to recommend Martin to our friends, and as we have more projects come up, Martin is the only one we call. "
