Owner-operated. Uses subs for plumbing & roofing. Cost is determined by the job. No travel charges. Service fees may apply. May contact through email or cell phone

"We decided to remove the old deck in our back yard and build a new larger one with a pergola. Jim did a great job from start to end. Before starting, he helped us deciding the material by providing quotes using cedar and composite. We decided to use cedar for both deck and pergola, and we love how it came out. Jim was very responsive during the design phase. So, we could finalize the design and start construction. At that point we had a tight schedule because of guests visiting during summer. Jim and his team worked hard and managed to be within schedule. The work was done very carefully, with great attention to details and we are very pleased by the outcome."

"They were 1 of 3 quotes. We told them exactly what job we needed done. We dealt with Hector and Martha. They both reassured us that no problem they can get the job done. They quoted us (I have a contract) of $4,500. $3,500 is their labor 50 or and &1,000 would have been for materials. We were definitely going to go with better materials so we only really paid attention to their labor price of $3,500. They said the job would take 3 days and they told us they would start on a Monday. They postponed until Tuesday, they took a day off in the middle of the week for important business and they did not finish up until Sunday afternoon. My husband and I had been looking around every time they left and we were finding more and more things. Every day would bring it to their attention and she said they would fix. We did ask for two doors to be hung that was not on the original quote. At the end of everything she wanted $300 more than the original $3,500 quoted. I believe it was for the door hanging. I then proceeded to show her the hole in the arm of my brand new 2500 couch I showed her the paint that was all over the edge of my brand new carpet that was literally being installed the day they came to quote us I showed her there's no ventilation in the drop ceiling they never cut out vents the tracks in the ceilings do not meet the ceiling tiles do not fit light fixtures are falling the back door does not fit and they did not trim it out so we have gaps in our door and I believe the door frame is bent and useless the bathroom door does not shut due to it not fitting there is a cracked tile in the ceiling every piece of paneling has little holes or tears Nothing fits they painted the trim while on the walls so there's paint all over the paneling all over my floor the back door knob they have flipped upside down it does not lock will not work. There is broken trim they used my household vacuum to vacuum up their mess everyday where I had nails and screws coming out of the hoses ripping holes in my vacuum Some of the trim is not painted the same color as others They did not trim out the window There's not one job they were hired to do that was completely Done and done properly And all she told me the whole time was you owe me 300 I did the best I could or oh we don't do that you have to hire somebody else after they already tried doing the job and screwing it up. I'm sorry this was so much to message and the box was so small and I think this all came out thoroughly I really hope I didn't make a fool out of rambling. At the end I did pay the full $3,500 that was originally quoted even though I also had to replace paneling they broke for them just to turn around and reinstall it and break it again but they did get the full payment I did not renege on the contract. I forgot to add there were no holes or vents putting anything so I can't put outlet covers on I cannot put light switches on I can't do anything nothing is is ready"

FAQs for second story addition building service projects in Glenwood, IL

For many homeowners, building up is worth the expense because it provides the extra bedrooms or living areas that can’t be accommodated within the existing footprint. A larger, updated home often commands a higher resale price, recouping a sizable share of the project cost while allowing you to stay in the neighborhood you love. Run the numbers with a real estate agent and contractor to ensure the expected return and day-to-day benefits align with your goals.

Whether it makes more sense to build up or out depends on your lot, budget, and local code. Building up preserves yard space and involves less foundation work, but you may need to vacate the home during construction. Building out avoids staircases and can proceed while you stay put; however, it encroaches on the yard and may face setback limits. Compare both options with your contractor before making a decision.

A structural engineer will first inspect the existing foundation for cracks, footings, and load capacity. Depending on the findings, the crew may pour new concrete footings, install steel or concrete piers, add reinforced beams, or tie additional rebar into the slab. These upgrades redistribute the weight of the new floor and bring the structure up to code. Your contractor will outline the specific reinforcement plan and timeline once the engineering report is complete.
