The Shaf Group, Inc

Bad, bad company to work with.
To put it in the words of one of his past clients, «Mr. Shaf is a liar, a thief, a crook, and the worst of the worst imaginable when it comes to construction. He uses the guise of construction in order to bilk people for dollars to fund his personal lifestyle.»
Adam hired us to execute a project, which we did. By his own words «the floors looked great», bu his client’s words «the floors looked great». We had to chase Adam for money, until one day I decided to go talk to his customer whom, according to Adam, was holding up payment. It turned out that the homeowner cut ties with Adam just two days prior to me stopping by to stop with him, he was paying the painter directly because he came to him just before they fired Adam and told him he wasn’t gonna show up anymore cause he wasn’t getting paid by Adam. The homeowner also said that «contractors are constantly showing up at our door».
In front of me, the homeowner called Adam and asked him when is he gonna pay me, to which he replied «Wednesday». That Wednesday, came and went, along with a few other ones and Adam seemed to have vanished with our money.
If you’re looking for a contractor that will get you in trouble with most of his subs, if property liens is what you’re looking for, Adam might be just the guy for the job.
If, on the other hand, you’re looking for a reliable contractor, that will complete the project in time, and pay his subs when paid, you might wanna look elsewhere, there are plenty of better options out there.
And, please don’t take my word for it, read what this past client of his had to go through before he learned his lesson…

I have never met a better builder than Adam Shaf. Adam comes from a family that has been building custom homes for generations and he continues the family tradition of building beautiful homes. Adam helped build our house in Skokie and we could not have been more thrilled with the experience. Adam saved us tens of thousands on construction and material costs. His assistance in choosing finishes and other pick outs was invaluable. Our home was built under budget and on time. We have lived in the home for some time now with no problems or defects.

i have dealt with adam shaf many times and he is a fine builder and very honest and reliable
