"I hired Platinum Touch Industries LLC in the summer of 2018 for my first Fix and Flip remodel project and was impressed with their work. Vince and his team did a fantastic job from demo to cleanup to the finish touches per schedule. Vince was honest at front and very professional. Based on the Scope of Work I presented to him, we were all in the same page. Once milestones were completed within the Project Timeline, payment was made to him in a timely manner. Platinum is honest, reliable, and work ethic is impeccable. I was impressed with their work and demeanor, I hired them again the winter of 2018 for a minor remodel on one of my rental properties and in the Spring/Summer of 2019 for a Major Rehab on a Fix and Flip project in the Lombard area. I would recommend Platinum Touch Industries in all aspects for your Construction Project, whether it is a minor remodel to a major rehab. Thanks Vince and Bob for all you do. Keep up the Great Work!!!"

"Our project turned out better than we expected and as things were going along, we added more projects. Patryk, Greg and their team did a fantastic job. They were always so nice to work with, even suggesting things which was helpful. They never left a project until they thought it was perfect. We did a full kitchen remodel, even closing off a window to move a fridge and pantry to the other side to allow more cabinets and much needed counter space. They widen the entrance and the kitchen seems so much bigger. We think it’s Beautiful! They did laminated floors throughout the first floor, painted all walls and new baseboards. They created a wine bar which was just a cubby hole. They put in a pantry like cubby hole in our laundry room and added cabinets and above wall unit. One of the projects we had them add is new wooden stairs to the 2nd floor, white spindles and railing that curves instead of a wall and laminate floors on the 2nd floor. Other odd and ends that they never hesitated to do. We appreciate all they have done in our home, To us, it’s amazing how nice it is and how it should have been all the years we have lived here. Its exciting to show it off, it feels like a new house. These guys are amazing and would definately recommend them to anyone. Very reliable and easy to get in contact with when needed.

The time it takes to build a pizza oven depends on the type and complexity of the project. If you're going with a prefab pizza oven kit, you could be cooking your first pizza in just a day or two. Custom-designed ovens take longer—anywhere from several days to a few weeks—since they involve more detailed planning, material selection, and construction. While it requires patience, the result is a durable and personalized oven that you can enjoy for years to come.
Regular maintenance and cleaning of your pizza oven preserves its performance and durability. After each use, allow the oven to cool completely before removing accumulated ash with a stiff brush and damp cloth. For periodic deep cleaning, scrub the entire cooking surface with a heavy-duty wire brush and wipe the interior thoroughly with a damp cloth until no residue remains. Meticulously inspect and clean the flue to remove any obstructions. Avoid harsh chemicals to protect the oven’s integrity and enhance flavor retention.
An outdoor pizza oven reaches temperatures of up to 800 degrees, allowing you to create authentic, restaurant-quality Neapolitan pizzas with crispy crusts. Beyond pizzas, they're incredibly versatile—you can bake bread, roast meats, or even grill veggies, all while infusing your food with the unique, smoky flavor that only wood-fired cooking provides. Plus, a pizza oven becomes a natural gathering spot, making your backyard the go-to place for family and friends all year round.
Using fire bricks for your pizza oven is essential for exceptional heat tolerance and construction safety. Fire bricks are engineered to sustain extreme temperatures and preserve structural integrity during operation. Their superior heat resistance prevents cracking and potential hazards, ensuring a resilient build. Employing fire bricks results in an oven that consistently delivers high-quality, evenly cooked pizzas while maintaining durability and safety.
An ideal pizza oven height positions the opening between 36 and 48 inches above ground level. This provides you with clear visibility and comfortable access. This precise height enhances safety by reducing the need for bending over to check on your pizzas, while also supporting efficient heat distribution and ergonomic cooking practices, ultimately optimizing overall performance.
