Timeline depends on the scope of work, but we give you realistic estimates upfront. A bathroom remodel typically takes 2-3 weeks, while kitchen renovations run 4-6 weeks. Larger projects like room additions can take 8-12 weeks. We factor in permit approval time, material delivery schedules, and inspection requirements when we create your timeline. Weather can affect exterior work, but we build buffer time into our schedules. The key is honest communication from day one – no sugar-coating the timeline just to win the job.
Yes, we handle all permit applications and coordinate required inspections. Fort Dearborn has specific building codes and permit requirements, and we know them inside and out. We submit all paperwork, schedule inspection appointments, and make sure everything passes the first time. You don’t have to deal with city hall or worry about code compliance – that’s our responsibility. We also make sure all work meets or exceeds local building standards. It’s part of doing the job right, not an extra service we charge for.
Our detailed estimates are designed to prevent budget surprises. We include a comprehensive breakdown of materials, labor, and potential variables before work begins. If unexpected issues arise – like discovering outdated wiring during a wall removal – we stop work and discuss options with you first. No surprise bills at the end. We present the problem, explain your options, and get written approval before proceeding. Most budget overruns happen because contractors don’t do their homework upfront. We do the homework.
Absolutely. We carry full licensing for general contracting work in Illinois and comprehensive liability insurance that protects both you and us. We can provide proof of insurance before starting any project – you should never work with a contractor who can’t do that immediately. Our workers’ compensation coverage protects anyone working on your property. We also pull proper permits for all work requiring them. This isn’t just about following rules – it’s about protecting your investment and ensuring quality work that meets professional standards.
We understand construction disrupts your daily routine, so we work with you to minimize the impact. For interior projects, we can often schedule the messiest work when you’re not home. We discuss your family’s schedule during planning and adjust our work hours accordingly when possible. We also contain dust and debris, use protective coverings, and clean up thoroughly each day. If you have young children or pets, we take extra precautions with tools and materials. The goal is getting your project done with as little disruption as possible to your normal life.
We warranty our workmanship for one full year after project completion. This covers any issues that arise from our installation or construction methods – not normal wear and tear or damage from misuse. Materials typically carry manufacturer warranties that we help you navigate if problems occur. We also do a final walkthrough with you to address any concerns before considering the job complete. If something isn’t right, we fix it. Our reputation depends on standing behind our work, and we’ve been doing business in Fort Dearborn long enough to know that cutting corners always costs more in the long run.
