Our family absolutely loves this company! When you read over this review you may pause and think that I'm a janitor at the company looking for browny points, but it's totally not the case. All of our request were done quickly and more than expected. The company performed just like the website suggested.

Second City has been my go to for many years and projects. Wrought Iron, not aluminum, fence was first. The latest being concrete in backyard and my new walk-in shower is simply awesome. If the quote sometimes seems a but higher than others, remember one gets what one pays for. The work and contractors are superb with great tips of info. Ed and Dennis are great to work with. Maggie is awesome and sets a great tone with her first-impression customer service skills. If work is required around your castle, call the best, Second City you will not regret it if the best is what you're seeking

We hired 2nd city for roof installation on our restaurant build-out. Our restaurant is built out of shipping containers and located on the Chicago Riverwalk. This site is difficult to access and 2nd city did a fantastic job with the roof work. Would highly recommend! Service: Roof installation
