Our Construction Process Explained

Here's How Your Project Actually Happens

First, we come out to see what you’re working with. We’ll walk through your space, understand what you want to accomplish, and give you an honest assessment of what’s involved.

Next, we provide a detailed written estimate that breaks down materials, labor, and timeline. No surprises, no vague line items. You’ll know exactly what you’re paying for before we start.

Once we begin, we stick to the schedule we agreed on. We show up when we say we will, clean up at the end of each day, and keep you updated on progress. Most importantly, we don’t consider the job done until you’re satisfied with the results.

Everything You Need Under One Roof

We handle the full scope of residential construction and remodeling. Kitchen renovations, bathroom remodels, room additions, basement finishing, roofing, siding, and general repairs.

You don’t need to coordinate between multiple contractors or worry about who’s responsible when something goes wrong. We manage the entire project from permits to final cleanup.

Des Plaines homes often need updates to electrical, plumbing, or structural elements during remodeling projects. We work with trusted local subcontractors to handle these specialized aspects while maintaining quality control over the entire job.

Most kitchen remodels take 3-6 weeks depending on the scope of work. A simple cabinet and countertop replacement might be done in 2-3 weeks, while a full gut renovation with electrical and plumbing updates typically takes 4-6 weeks. We provide a detailed timeline during the estimate process and do our best to stick to it. Weather, permit delays, or unexpected issues behind walls can sometimes extend the timeline, but we communicate any changes immediately.
Yes, we handle all necessary permits for your project. We’re familiar with Des Plaines building codes and permit requirements, so we know what needs to be pulled and when. This includes building permits for additions, electrical permits for new circuits, and plumbing permits for bathroom renovations. We factor permit costs and timelines into our project estimates so there are no surprises. Having the proper permits protects you and ensures the work meets local safety standards.
Our estimates break down materials, labor, permits, and timeline in detail. You’ll see exactly what you’re paying for rather than vague line items. The contract includes start and completion dates, payment schedule, cleanup responsibilities, and warranty terms. We also specify what happens if we encounter unexpected issues like structural problems or code violations. Everything is in writing before we start work, so both parties know what to expect throughout the project.
We discuss potential issues upfront during the estimate process, especially with older Des Plaines homes where surprises are more common. If we encounter unexpected problems like outdated wiring or plumbing that needs updating, we stop work and discuss options with you before proceeding. Any additional work requires written approval with clear pricing. We never just add costs to your bill without your knowledge and consent. Most issues can be anticipated with proper planning, which is why we take time during the initial assessment.
Yes, we’re fully licensed and insured to perform construction work in Des Plaines and throughout Illinois. We carry general liability insurance and workers’ compensation coverage to protect you and our crew. We can provide proof of insurance before starting any project. Being properly licensed means we understand local building codes, safety requirements, and permit processes. It also means you have recourse if something goes wrong, unlike working with unlicensed contractors who may not have proper insurance coverage.
We provide a one-year warranty on our workmanship for most construction and remodeling projects. This covers any issues that arise from our installation or construction work, not normal wear and tear or manufacturer defects on materials. For example, if a cabinet door we installed starts sagging or trim work comes loose, we’ll fix it at no charge. Material warranties are handled directly with manufacturers. We stand behind our work because our reputation in Des Plaines depends on customer satisfaction long after the project is complete.
