Marek
Partner & Operating Manager
Marek learned the construction business at an early age. During his years in Pezinok, Slovakia, he built single-family homes, offices, commercial and industrial spaces. Over the past 6 years, Marek has overseen over 50 construction projects that were single-family homes and multi-units in Chicago, US.
Marek spends much of his time meeting with contractors to ensure the level of quality meets his high standards. Marek has brought his knowledge and expertise from the European quality homes and office spaces he’s built. His love for building and high level of quality is evident in the style and finishes our clients receive.
The Team
We collaborate with experienced professionals who provide top-quality construction work. Our team of employees and sub-contractors strive to serve and respect our customers. We value and respect our team; one way we recognize their contributions is by compensating them well for their labor.
Testimonials
My Contractor was so professional and caring. He kept me abreast of daily operations and the cost was fair. My contractor went above and beyond our agreement and even made the design even better coming to life. His expertise and kindness I will forever remember. He made my house a home and I will appreciate him forever.
Thank you for making it easy to work with your team and trust you with my home.

I write this review to unconditionally recommend Marek Jajcay and A&M General Contracting for Chicago-area construction projects. If you’re a reader who’s short on time but considering a construction project, allow me to be brief and clear: you cannot go wrong by trusting your project to A&M. The company will do outstanding work for you.
In April 2021, my spouse and I began searching for a contractor for a major outdoor construction project. We sought bids from a host of contractors on Houzz. A&M General Contracting was the winning bidder, not only because Marek was responsive and transparent, but also because he took the time to understand our vision and budget. (Frankly, several other con...
We very much appreciated the extensive work Marek and his team did in our Chicago home. He is simply the best contractor we have ever worked with. Not only was Marek very organized and competent, responding to our numerous emails and accomplishing the very extensive work we had at an extremely fast pace despite the challenges of pandemic labor shortages and supply chain issues. His staff is extremely polite, respectful, and careful. He is also creative, and has a natural sense of design, giving us very good advice on many aspects, and was a great collaborator with our designer. We appreciated it because it showed that he did not just want to get the job done but also ensure that it was ...
I am an interior designer and architect and I worked with A&M on a recent remodel in Evanston and they are phenomenal. I wish they could be the GC on every one of my projects! They were very professional, very knowledgeable and just a great resource to have during any renovation. They were able to be creative with the client's budget and they did an impeccable job. This was the first time I showed up on a job site and I did not have to mark with blue tape any areas for correction.
We worked directly with Marek and found him to be very communicative and he also has a great eye for design. Due to last minute supply issues, the owner made a change for a tile in the bathroom. Marek was very qu...
Marek was wonderful to work with! He is very detail-oriented with costs so there were no surprises, and he's very trustworthy. He was always responsive in communicating with us, really cared that we were completely happy with their work, and was patient with us when we changed our mind on some things. His crew was super friendly, always on time, and very competent. They did an amazing job in rehabbing our kitchen, master bathroom, first floor bathroom, installing hardwood floors on second floor, refinishing the hardwood floors on the first floor, demoing a wall, etc. Would highly recommend them!
