Working with Natalia at Peace Pelvic Health has been such an amazing and healing experience. I started seeing Natalia in my third trimester of pregnancy, and in such a short time, I saw major differences and learned so much about my body. Natalia made me feel seen, understood, and safe all throughout my PT journey. I am truly grateful to have worked with Natalia and highly recommend her!

I had a new fence installed by Advanced Fence & Gate out of Mt. Prospect. They did a terrific job and provided quality product at a reasonable price. Check out the reviews.

Needed a new concrete driveway, and GK Landscaping ended up completely tearing up old, laying down a ton of gravel and sand, pouring new concrete, raised the level of our walkway, reworked our gutters to get the water flow away from the house, and leveled out and put in new front yard sod (wasn’t planned but they rolled with it). The work was great, and the crew was extremely polite and clean. Competitive pricing too. But the best part was the communication. The owner kept us in the loop with every step, addressed every concern, followed up multiple times, and is still answering my text questions! So loved giving my business to someone local. Highly highly recommend!

We used Jump Guy Event & Party Rentals to rent bounce houses for our neighborhood block party, and they were great. Easy to work with, affordable and with a huge selection of options (even water slides, interactive games, concessions, photo booths, tables and chairs, etc.). It’s like a one-stop shop for all your party needs.

Yvonne from YSB Legal is excellent in terms of both professionalism and experience. She is prepared, knowledgeable and responsive, and made our real estate transactions flawless.

Whitney Fandel at Family Tree Chiropractic is the best! Highly recommend!

— Margo J.

Yvonne from YSB Legal is excellent in terms of both professionalism and experience. We have used her services for the purchase of two homes. She is prepared, knowledgeable and responsive. She has made our real estate transactions flawless. She also has helped us revolve a dispute with a contractor. We will continue to seek her counsel and recommend her to all.

We recently had Northwind Exteriors work on our home, and the experience was nothing short of excellent from start to finish. Their team was professional, punctual and communicative throughout the entire process. The quality of the workmanship is top-notch — everything looks fantastic, and you can tell they take pride in doing things right the first time. Even after the job was done, they followed up to make sure we were completely satisfied. If you’re looking for a contractor who combines skill, professionalism and genuine care for their customers, I highly recommend Northwind Exteriors. They’ve truly improved the look and value of our home.

— Dan O.

We used Mark’s Tuckpointing & Remodeling Co. in Chicago for patio, stairs and a sidewalk. Excellent work.

— Linda J.

Go to Chic Couture for the Magic Chair pedicure. Simply the best. I have seen both Anna and Anita.

— A.M.

MBD Martial Arts Academy is the best! We have been going for quite awhile now, and as kids and adults are leaving, they are all smiling and excited. A wonderful family environment with awesome instructors. The discipline skills they are learning will help them so much in school. You should stop by and just watch for a while if you are hesitant to sign up. You won’t be sorry!

— Kathy D.

My husband and I go to the Illinois Dermatology Institute in Park Ridge and would highly recommend. Especially if you’re concerned about moles or other skin issues. They are very thorough.

— S.M.

We recently had Northwind Exteriors work on our home, and the experience was nothing short of excellent. Their team was professional, punctual and communicative throughout the entire process.

Shout out to 606 Junk! I just used them to move furniture and clear out leftover junk from a storage unit. They were professional, efficient and reasonably priced.

— Rachel P

I have been going to DiFranco Dental Specialists for many many years, and my visits have always been very pleasant and all my issues are addressed and taken care of with great satisfaction. The office staff couldn’t be any friendlier and efficient, and Rosetta, the hygienist, is awesome! Dr. Chuck learned from the best, his father, who I admired greatly.
