Remodeling

We specialize in kitchen and bathroom remodeling, basement finishing, home additions, and full-scale renovations.

Yes, we offer design consultations to help bring your vision to life, including layout planning, material selection, and 3D renderings.

Yes, we provide free, no-obligation estimates after an initial consultation to understand your goals.

Absolutely. We work closely with clients to customize every aspect of their project, from design to materials and finishes.

Yes. We are a full service construction company. Kitchens, bathrooms, basements, additions, whole house reconstruction, and commercial remodeling, with or without a claim.

Every project is priced item by item in a written contract, so you can see what each part costs and change your mind before work begins. The in home consultation and proposal are free.

Yes. We prepare the drawings, file the application with the village or city, and schedule and pass the inspections. Hinsdale, Oak Brook, La Grange, and Chicago each have their own review process, and we know them.

Hinsdale, Oak Brook, Downers Grove, La Grange, Elmhurst, Naperville, and the western and southwest suburbs, plus Chicago.

Yes. All remodeling work is under a written warranty. When something needs attention after the job, we come back.

That is the best time. The house is already open, so upgrades cost less. We price the insurance scope and the upgrades separately so the carrier’s payment and your investment stay clear.

A remodel updates a room or two. A reconstruction takes the house down to the framing and rebuilds everything inside: electrical, plumbing, HVAC, insulation, walls, and finishes.

Yes. We work with architects and structural engineers to produce the drawings the village or the City of Chicago requires.

Usually not. The house is opened to the studs with no working kitchen or bath. Most clients rent or, after a loss, use their additional living expense coverage.

Yes. Load bearing walls are replaced with beams, stairs are moved, and rooms are reconfigured. This is the time to do it.

Yes. A reconstruction replaces the electrical service, plumbing, and mechanical systems, and the finished house passes a full inspection.

Six to twelve months, depending on size, drawings, and permit timing. We give you a written schedule at the start.

Yes. We do the structural work in house: engineering, beam sizing, temporary shoring, and the permit. Opening a kitchen to the family room is the most common request we get in the western suburbs.

A cabinet and counter refresh usually runs in the tens of thousands. A full gut with a new layout, plumbing, and electrical runs higher, depending on cabinetry and finishes. We price every item in a written proposal.

Four to eight weeks for a full remodel. We set up a temporary kitchen area if you want one and order cabinets before demolition so the gap is as short as possible.

Both. Stock and semi custom lines for most budgets, custom cabinetry when the layout or style calls for it.

Yes. Plumbing, gas, and venting changes are done in house and inspected by the village.

Yes, when plumbing, electrical, or structural work is involved, which is nearly every kitchen. We pull it and schedule the inspections.

Yes, including gas ranges, hoods vented to the exterior, dishwashers, and built in refrigerators.

A bathroom usually takes two to four weeks. A kitchen usually takes four to eight weeks depending on cabinet lead times and whether walls are moving. We give you a schedule before we start and a project manager who updates it.

Yes. It is our most common bathroom request. We handle the plumbing change, waterproofing, tile, and glass.

A sheet or liquid membrane system behind every shower and tub surround, not just cement board. It is the difference between a bathroom that lasts and one that leaks in five years.

Yes. We run new supply and drain lines, add an ejector pump in basements, and handle the permit.

Yes. Electric radiant mats under tile are a small cost during a remodel and one of the most appreciated upgrades.

Yes. Curbless showers, benches, grab bar blocking, comfort height toilets, and wider doors, built to look like any other bathroom.

Yes. A properly sized fan vented to the exterior is included in every bathroom we do. Fans vented into the attic cause the mold and roof problems we see in restoration.

We check the drain tile, sump system, and sewer connection first, and add a backup pump and check valve where the plumbing allows. We restore flooded basements for a living, so we build them to stay dry.

Yes. Code requires an emergency escape window or door in any sleeping room. We cut the opening, install the well and window, and handle the permit.

Yes. Most suburban basements need an ejector pump for the drain. We install it and run the plumbing.

Luxury vinyl plank, tile, or engineered wood over a proper subfloor. We avoid carpet directly on concrete and solid hardwood, which fail with moisture.

Slightly, since there is more to insure. More important is checking your sewer backup limit, which is often too small for a finished basement. Our adjusting team can review it.

Six to ten weeks for a typical family room, bedroom, and bathroom, depending on permit timing.

Yes, and we insist on it. Drain tile repair, sump replacement, backup pump, check valve, and grading are addressed before any framing goes up.

Yes. Room additions, second story additions, master suites, in law suites, garages, and dormers, including foundation, framing, and finish, all matched to the existing house.

Usually. Setback, lot coverage, and height rules apply in every village. We check the zoning first, prepare the drawings, and handle the review.

Yes, if the foundation and framing can carry it, which an engineer confirms. It is one of the most cost effective ways to double living space on a small lot.

Three to six months from permit to finish for a single story room addition, longer for a second story.

Yes. We match roof pitch, siding, brick, windows, trim, and interior finishes so the addition reads as original.

Yes. Excavation, footings, foundation, framing, roof, and finish are all under one contract with our crews.

Yes, including a bedroom, bath, kitchenette, and separate entry, subject to village rules on accessory units.

Yes. We schedule demolition and loud work off hours and phase the project so the business keeps operating where possible.

Yes. Entrances, restrooms, counters, and routes built to ADA and the Illinois Accessibility Code.

Several weeks to a few months depending on scope. We prepare stamped drawings, file, and use an expediter when it helps.

Yes. White box to finished space for offices, retail, medical, and restaurants, coordinated with your landlord’s requirements.

Yes. Unit turns, kitchens, baths, flooring, and common areas, scheduled around your vacancy dates.

Yes. General liability and workers compensation certificates are provided on request.
