What Our Clients Are Saying

These guys are frickin awesome...they get down and dirty and then they get out. I had [BradleyBuilt] build a custom bar and trim out and finish my basement.They totally made the project a good experience for me."

Chicago, IL–Bradley M.

"I hired Bradley built to do a [custom]staircase in my home along with custom building a couple doors to match the ones I already have in my house. Other than the fact that they're brand new and don't have any dings or scratches I honestly can't tell the difference between the new doors and the old doors."

Chicago, IL–Janine B.

"Quiet luxury at its best. Our [custom walk-in closet] is both refined and incredibly functional. "Thank you. I love my new walk-in closet."
