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.
"Miro redid our kitchen and half bath and we're thrilled with the results. We got a few quotes and ultimately went with Homewise Remodelers because the price was reasonable and Miro was so thorough in walking us through our options. He helped us select cabinets and worked through several versions of the kitchen layout until we were happy with it--we were easily able to swap out cabinet layouts and finishings, like adding a farmhouse sink. His crew were reliable, on-time, and respectful of our property throughout the remodel and we appreciated their attention to detail. They solicited our input on decorative details and were quick to fix things we didn't like, e.g., the location of kitchen cabinet pulls. We felt they treated our home as they would their own. The project even wrapped up a few days early. We would absolutely recommend Homewise Remodelers and choose them for future projects."

"JOB WELL DONE! Redstone Builders did an excellent job remodeling my outdated bathroom. Howard, representative and owner, directly supervised my project from start to finish. From overseeing daily progress, on time start, to finally touches to my bathroom! Always professional and on time(this is a sticking point for me.

"Jakubek did a great job on our basement remodel. David, Robert, Aric, and Tom showed up everyday on time, and were very polite, very quick, and very clean. They put down floor protection when they moved materials in and out of the house. At the start of each day they would explain what they were doing and at the end of the day we could walk through to check on progress and next steps. All of our requests were accommodated, and David was very responsive and flexible with change orders and a last minute decision that we made. Overall, the basement turned out great. It adds 50% more space to our house and provides a warm/clean place for the kids to play. If I could go back in time I'd hire David and Jakubek sooner."

Warning signs of compressor failure include unusual operating sounds (clicking, buzzing, or humming), inadequate cooling despite the fan running, excessive heat around the compressor area, and frequent cycling on and off. Your refrigerator might also run continuously without reaching the proper temperature, causing food to spoil quickly. Before concluding it's a compressor issue, verify that your refrigerator has power and the correct temperature settings.
The value proposition depends on several factors. Compressor replacement makes financial sense for refrigerators under seven to 10 years old, especially premium models or those still under warranty. For units approaching or exceeding their expected 12 to 15-year lifespan, or when repair costs approach half the price of a new refrigerator, replacing the entire appliance offers better long-term value.
Refrigerator compressors function effectively for eight to 15 years, though this varies based on usage patterns, maintenance regularity, and manufacturing quality. Environmental factors like ambient temperature, power supply stability, and ventilation also impact longevity. Regular maintenance practices—including coil cleaning, ensuring adequate airflow around the unit, and avoiding overfilling—can significantly extend compressor life.
Refrigerator compressor replacement should be performed exclusively by EPA-certified professionals. The process involves handling refrigerant, which requires special licensing, training, and equipment to manage safely and legally. Amateur attempts risk environmentally harmful refrigerant leaks, component damage, warranty voiding, and potential safety hazards. The specialized tools and expertise required make this repair particularly unsuitable for DIY efforts.
