“We bought our new house last summer and knew we “We bought our new house last summer and knew we wanted a garage. … We met with a @danleyschicago salesperson, and they were very detailed and did a great job explaining options and what to expect in the building process. During the permit, concrete pour and build, they would check in with us and give us updates on where things were and what to expect, which helped ease our concerns. They were very on point with the timeline, and I am happy to say our garage was finished after about six weeks. We would 100 percent recommend them and be very confident they’d do a great job.”
