Skilled and experienced pros were sent to my home and they completed the project to my satisfaction and in less time than I imagined it would take. I liked that Mike took time to thoroughly examine the installation that was done. He even did some load testing to ensure that there were no safety concerns. It was clear that he wanted the project to be done correctly, and it was.

I've been around enough construction projects to know the difference between quality work and work that just looks good on the surface. After purchasing a home that we're converting into an Airbnb, one of our first priorities was updating the bathroom to make it more attractive, durable, and guest-friendly. Century City Baths impressed me from the start. The workmanship stood out immediately. The tile work is precise, the fixtures are properly installed, and the overall finish is clean and professional. As someone who's spent years on job sites, I pay attention to details like alignment, transitions, and finishing work, and this team did things the right way. The bathroom now feels bright, spacious, and welcoming. It's exactly the kind of space guests will appreciate when they stay at the property. More importantly, it's built with durability in mind, which matters when you're operating a short-term rental.

He was thorough in what he explained he needed to do. He showed up on time, all of his workers worked hard, were respectful, and did an excellent job. His price stayed the same and the job was finished very efficiently. I would certainly recommend him to others and also would use him again myself. Great Company!

Living in a small apartment, I’m always looking for ways to make my space feel bigger without adding clutter. Installing a custom mirror was one of the best decisions I’ve made. The mirror reflects natural light beautifully and makes the entire apartment feel more spacious. It’s amazing how much larger the room looks now. Because it was custom-made, it fits the space exactly. No awkward gaps, no settling for a standard size that almost works. For such a simple addition, the impact has been huge. The apartment feels brighter, more open, and much more polished. If you live in a smaller space, I highly recommend a custom mirror from Great Glass Chicago. It’s a practical upgrade that makes a noticeable difference every single day.

Dana was honestly a lifesaver. It was my first time working with a designer so I wasn't sure what to expect and on top of that, I was in St. Louis with family during the first phase of the project so I could only communicate with Dana over the phone and email. Turns out I had nothing to worry about. Dana was highly professional and organized right from the start. She understood my vision for my new condo from the start and the finished project surpassed my expectations. Dana made the entire process stress-free. The design and layout of my condo function so well for my lifestyle and we were able to keep the cost down while still finding quality pieces.
