"I highly recommend Chicago and North Suburban Handyman LLC for repairs or remodeling. Our experience with Jamie, President and Owner, was exactly what we needed to update our artistic condominium. The process began with a thoughtful call, followed by an onsite visit to assess the unique challenges of our complex. Because of the artistic nature of our building—originally completed by Edgar Miller in the 1920s—attention to detail and the ability to emulate Miller’s work were critical. Jamie managed all aspects professionally with no middleman. His meticulous planning ensured the project stayed on budget and exceeded our expectations in quality and aesthetic appeal. Jamie met the timeline and kept us informed at every stage; communication was excellent. The team of employees and subcontractors demonstrated the highest level of professionalism—polite, efficient, and a pleasure to have around. Jamie is reliable, transparent, and a go-to contractor for our entire complex. Top-tier work!"

"I hired Frank from Small Jobs and he was extremely knowledgeable , friendly and efficient. He assembled an elliptical bike for me and did an amazing job! I spoke to several other handymen prior to speaking with Frank and they were extremely rude and arrogant. While speaking to Frank I knew he was the right person. His professionalism and demeanor sealed the deal."

"Very professional and honest, would absolutely hire again. Not only did they provide great work for a reasonable rate, (especially compared to some others I spoke with) they cleaned up afterwards and were very friendly. One of those contractor/specialists you actually feel like you can trust not to take advantage. Would absolutely hire again, and recommended to my father in law for projects at his house."

"I hired John to work on my deck. He came and measured, sanded, and stained it in a timely manner. He even went and got all the supplies and brought different paint samples to choose from. The deck looks fantastic. He did such a good job that I hired him 2 more times. Once to fix the fan in my daughter’s bathroom and an electrical circuit that kept going out. He fixed both issues perfectly!! I would highly recommend John for any job you have at your home!!"

FAQs for handyman service projects in Des Plaines, IL

To measure the right size for a pet door, start by measuring your largest pet. The flap should be at least one inch taller than your tallest pet and at least two inches wider. It's also important to measure the step-over, which should be no more than one-third of your pet's height from the floor to the back.

Pet doors are safe when you implement proper security measures. Opting for models with locking covers or electronic controls—such as microchips or collar-activated sensors—enhances safety by ensuring only your pet can use the door. These features are especially valuable if you have young children or want to prevent stray animals and intruders from entering your home.

Pet doors can affect your energy efficiency by allowing outside air to enter and affect the temperature in your home. You can minimize this impact by choosing a high-quality, insulated pet door that's properly sealed and weatherproofed. Investing in energy-efficient models helps maintain indoor temperatures while giving your pet the freedom to come and go.
