"Jeff had done beautiful work at my parents house so I was excited to use him for a kitchen remodel in my first home. He is always friendly, professional, and responsive. He can handle any kind of issue that may arise, such as the need to move an unexpected vent. For our kitchen he tore down a pantry closet and the soffit, installed new flooring, cabinets, backsplash, shelving, range hood, lighting. He has great recommendations and his attention to detail is impeccable. We highly recommend Jeff and his team for your project!"

Chicagoland's Reliable Home Improvement Company servicing the City of Chicago and most suburbs. We specialize in full remodels of kitchens, bathrooms, condos and basements. We do not offer repair work or partial remodels. Celebrating 25 years in business.
"If I could give more than 5 stars I would do so. The owner of this company, Mirek (Miro), was fabulous. From the first time I contacted him through the end of the project, Miro responded quickly every time I called, emailed or sent him a text. He is friendly, knowledgeable and professional. He helped me with the design of both bathrooms and made great suggestions on what could be done. He has many resources for materials but there was absolutely no pressure from him to utilize any of his sources. Those I did use were fantastic and reasonably priced. The workers, Mario and Andy, were terrific. They were friendly and respectful and were as quiet as they could possibly be, given they completely gutted and rebuilt 2 bathrooms on the second floor of my home. There wasn’t anything those 2 guys couldn’t do from plumbing to electric to construction. They were as meticulous with their work as though they were working in their own homes. They cleaned up every day before they left for the day. Miro and his team showed up when they said they would, finished the project in a timely manner and responded to every question I asked or special request I made. They are so talented and knowledgeable, when they encountered a major plumbing problem, that was no fault of theirs, they were able to repair the issue without the need to bring in a plumber. I can’t say enough about how fine a job Miro and his team did for me. You may find a cheaper company, but you won’t get the quality that Miro provided and at a very fair price. I will definitely call Miro again in the future."

"This is the first negative review I’ve ever left. We hired Ibro to remodel our kitchen and while he is the nicest guy, he never finished the job, the construction quality and attention to detail were poor, and worst of all was a serious bait and switch from "I'll take care of everything, everything will be so nice, don’t worry" to "that's not in the agreement!" or "That's not my job." We had a written list of included tasks and verbally agreed that when he finished the rooms would be done and there would be no further work, we needed to do. Tasks that he told us were not his job, or not in the agreement: -Replacing the base boards he removed when replacing the floor. -Installing pullout drawers included with our cabinet purchase. -Ensuring cabinet doors were hung straight. -Ensuring outlets were not crooked. -Staining the floor vents to match the flooring he installed. -Fixing the floor that gives when walked on (he replaced the subfloor in that spot!) We gave final payment with two tasks outstanding (he wore me down and I was too tired and too pregnant to fight him) and after multiple follow ups, Ibro never finished either one."

"Wonderful!!! Love my bathroom remodel thanks to David and Robert. We needed to reschedule for many months due to my father being ill. They were so kind and thoughtful about it. Most contractors would have taken your deposit and never contacted you again. Not them. We completed the project and I am so so happy. They were punctual and tidy, cleaning up every day inside my unit and in the common area of my floor hallway. Talented contractors and even better humans! Thank you both!"

In most states, yes—you can build a guest house, but every city or county sets its own zoning rules and building codes. Before breaking ground, check local ordinances, confirm lot setbacks, and secure the right permits. A local contractor or design-build firm can walk you through the paperwork and site requirements so your project starts on solid legal footing.
Yes—homeowners often tap a few different financing tools. A home-equity line of credit (HELOC) lets you borrow against your equity as you need funds. If you prefer a lump sum tied directly to the project, a short-term construction loan can roll into a second mortgage once the build is complete. Cash-out refinancing is another option: you replace your current mortgage with a larger one and use the difference to cover construction costs.
When you build a guest house, you’re creating a separate structure for hosting visitors without the full amenities needed for permanent living. An accessory dwelling unit, however, includes a complete kitchen and bathroom, meeting building codes for a long-term residence. This key difference makes an ADU ideal for long-term occupancy or rental income, adding enduring value to your property.
How many rooms you need depends on how you plan to use the space. Aim for one bedroom per every one or two occupants to make sure everyone has enough privacy and comfort. Added living and dining areas give you extra functionality, especially for rental use or long-term stays.
Most homeowners pick somewhere between 600 and 1,500 square feet to fit all the essentials. Make sure your design supports one to two occupants per bedroom and includes enough common areas for comfortable daily living. A well-proportioned layout boosts both functionality and property value.
No—a guest house isn’t just a bump-out on your main home. A bump-out is a small extension within an existing room for extra seating or storage. In contrast, you build a guest house as a standalone building with its own foundation and amenities, giving you a fully separate living area that can boost your property’s versatility and value.
