Our Construction Process

How We Handle Your Project

First, we walk through your space and listen to what you actually need. Not what we think you should want—what you want. We’ll spot potential issues early and give you straight answers about what’s realistic for your timeline and budget.

Next, you get a detailed estimate that breaks down materials, labor, and timeline. No vague line items or surprise additions later. We handle permits and inspections so you don’t have to chase down paperwork.

During construction, we keep your home livable and your schedule updated. Daily cleanup, clear communication, and respect for your space. When we’re done, you get a walkthrough to make sure everything meets your standards before we consider the job complete.

What's Included in Every Project

Every project starts with proper planning and permits. We handle the paperwork so your renovation is code-compliant and protects your home’s value. No cutting corners that create problems later.

You get skilled tradespeople who show up when scheduled and treat your home with respect. We coordinate all the moving parts—electrical, plumbing, structural work—so you’re not managing multiple contractors or dealing with finger-pointing when something goes wrong.

Quality materials sourced from reliable suppliers, installed correctly the first time. We stand behind our work because we do it right from the start. Your project timeline is realistic, and we communicate any changes before they affect your schedule or budget.

Timeline depends on project scope, but most kitchen remodels take 4-6 weeks, bathroom renovations 2-3 weeks, and room additions 8-12 weeks. We provide realistic timelines upfront and factor in permit approval times specific to Elmhurst. Weather can affect exterior work, especially during Illinois winters, so we plan accordingly. You’ll get a detailed schedule before work begins, and we update you immediately if anything changes. Rush jobs usually mean cut corners, so we focus on doing it right rather than doing it fast.
Yes, we handle all permit applications and coordinate inspections with the City of Elmhurst. This includes pulling the proper permits, scheduling required inspections, and ensuring all work meets local building codes. We know Elmhurst’s requirements and have working relationships with local inspectors, which helps avoid delays. You don’t need to visit City Hall or figure out what permits you need—we handle that process. All permit costs are included in your project estimate so there are no surprises.
We focus on communication and realistic expectations. You get detailed estimates that break down exactly what you’re paying for, realistic timelines that account for potential issues, and regular updates throughout your project. We don’t disappear between visits or leave you wondering what’s happening. Our crew shows up when scheduled, cleans up daily, and respects your home. We also understand older Elmhurst homes and the unique challenges they present, from settling foundations to outdated electrical systems that need special attention.
We discuss potential issues during the initial walkthrough and build contingencies into our planning. When unexpected problems arise—like finding outdated wiring behind walls—we stop work, explain the situation, and provide options with clear cost implications before proceeding. You never get surprised with a bill for work you didn’t approve. We document everything and keep you informed throughout the decision-making process. Most “surprises” in construction aren’t really surprises if you know what to look for, and experience helps us anticipate potential issues.
We serve all of Elmhurst and surrounding areas including Villa Park, Oak Brook, and Lombard. Our familiarity with local building codes, permit processes, and architectural styles common to these communities helps projects run smoothly. We understand the unique characteristics of homes in different Elmhurst neighborhoods, from the historic areas near downtown to newer developments. Local knowledge matters when you’re dealing with everything from soil conditions to HOA requirements. Being based locally also means faster response times for both initial consultations and any follow-up service needs.
We start with an in-person consultation to understand your goals and assess your space. After measuring and evaluating the scope, you receive a detailed written estimate that breaks down materials, labor, timeline, and total cost. We explain what’s included and what isn’t, so you can compare apples to apples with other contractors. Estimates are free and come with no pressure to decide immediately. We encourage you to take time to review everything and ask questions. Good construction requires proper planning, and good estimates require time to do them right.
