"Our Highland Park basement remodel included a gym, full bathroom, guest bedroom, and media area. There were a lot of moving parts, but the project was under control from start to finish. The quality of the work shows, especially in the details. It feels like a high-end space, not just a finished basement."

"BEWARE! Wes showed up at the house and I showed him the job - pool deck. He asked about other estimates, and how much it was ($17,000). Unfortunately, I told him and said I thought it was too high for a pool deck. I showed Wes the existing deck, and told him everything l wanted done; handrails to match the house porch, bottom enclosed with an access door. He wrote an estimate out for $14,000, but it didn't specifically include enclosing the deck, it just said,"Tear down old deck, replace with new deck of composite wood, and aluminum railings". I thought enclosing the deck was included in "replace with new deck". It was not. During construction, I was asked if I wanted the deck enclosed. I told him it was included. He told me it was not included. I stated we DID talk about it, he told me he didn't remember that, and charged $2850 for it. He used plywood he painted, not composite wood. The railings don't match the porch railings. The cost ended up more than the estimate given. "

"Great and thoughtful work! The team worked hard to remove irregular slate flooring, level the floor and install new ceramic tile. Good communication, flexible and detailed."

"These guys worked their hardest in the worst heat to: dig out an obscene amount of gravel left over from a swingset area, lay a concrete pad, build a gazebo. The project was done as quickly as possible and the site was always kept clean. Michael and Greg always kept in communication with us and the final project is now my favorite thing about our house."

"The quality of work is fantastic, and Marek is the best project manager you could ask for. The reason I removed one star is because I believe the quoted contract price, specifically for allowances, can improve. You should expect to add a minimum of $20,000 to your contract price. I also recommend referring to your contract throughout to ensure you aren’t getting an extra charge for something that should be included. Like I said, the quality of work is fantastic, but the up front pricing can improve."

"We had a great experience! Javier was onsite and hands-on with the project. He was also extremely responsive. He ensured everything was well coordinated and had his crew working around the clock to minimize the amount of time we had to be closed. I have had work done in my home that took months and this was an extensive remodel done in a couple days - amazing!! The workmanship was also top quality and Javier made sure we were satisfied with everything that was done. I would highly recommend!"

FAQs for addition to existing structure building service projects in Downers Grove, IL

You can typically raise your roof by four to eight feet, depending on your home's structure and roof design. The exact amount depends on factors like roof slope and framing support. Raising the roof creates additional interior space, enhances natural light, and increases your home's value. Consult a professional to determine the feasible height increase for your home.

Yes, you need a building permit to raise your roof. Obtaining a building permit ensures your project complies with local building codes and safety regulations. A professional contractor can assist with the permit and inspection process and ensure all legal and safety requirements are met. Your contractor will be familiar with building codes in your area, which can differ between cities or states.

While it's possible to raise a flat roof, it requires extensive structural modifications. Flat roofs lack the attic space and support structures of pitched roofs, so raising them involves significant engineering to ensure safety and durability. This process can be complex and costly, so professional assessment is essential before undertaking a project of this magnitude.
