What We Do

No Patches. No Shortcuts.

We specialize in one thing: complete gut renovations for single family homes across Illinois. Every project starts at the studs.

Why Gut Renovation?

Most contractors patch what's broken. We rebuild what's there. A gut renovation means every system — electrical, plumbing, HVAC, insulation — is replaced to current code. No hidden problems. No deferred maintenance. No surprises five years from now.

It's a bigger investment upfront. But it's the last renovation you'll ever need to do.

Our Services

Everything Under One Roof.

Full Gut Renovation

We strip the home to its structural skeleton and rebuild every system from scratch. Electrical, plumbing, HVAC, insulation, drywall, flooring, trim, fixtures — all new, all to code, all under one contract.

What's included:

  • Full demolition and debris removal
  • Permit management and code compliance
  • New electrical panel and wiring throughout
  • Complete plumbing rough-in and finish
  • HVAC system replacement or new install
  • Insulation, drywall, and paint
  • Flooring, trim, doors, and hardware
  • Final inspections and certificate of occupancy

Our Process

How It Works

Every project follows the same disciplined process. No surprises.

01

Free Consultation

We walk the property with you, assess the scope, and give you an honest picture of what the project involves — timeline, budget range, and what to expect.

02

Detailed Proposal

You receive a line-item proposal covering every phase of work. No vague estimates. No allowances that balloon later. Fixed-scope pricing where possible.

03

Permits & Planning

We pull all permits, coordinate engineering when needed, and finalize the construction schedule before a single wall comes down.

04

Demolition & Rebuild

Systematic demolition, then a methodical rebuild — structure first, systems second, finishes last. You get weekly progress updates throughout.

05

Final Walkthrough

We walk every inch of the project with you before you sign off. Punch list items are completed before final payment — not after.
