A Legacy Built on Experience, Service, and Trust At Michiana Veterans Home & Building Services, our story began in Chicago in 1995 when our founder, Marc Shudnow, bought a fixer-upper, got scammed by contractors, and decided to fix it himself. That trial by fire sparked a lifelong dedication to quality, craftsmanship, and doing right by homeowners. Marc later became a licensed home inspector, giving him a unique perspective on how to build, repair, and improve homes with a sharp eye for detail and safety. Today, Marc runs day-to-day operations while his wife, Ivana Shudnow, proudly serves as the majority owner. Together, they’ve built a company rooted in family values, veteran pride, and a no-nonsense commitment to quality.
"Amazing service"

Elite Builder's specializes in custom decks and porches, offering high-quality construction and design to enhance your outdoor living spaces with style, durability, and functionality!
"When Blake came out and saw the problem he defined his solution but before he started the project he called to say he thought about it and had a better solution for the same cost. That’s what impressed me most. 3 other contractors refused to even quote on the project because in their words it was too complicated. Blake actually applied his knowledge and experience and solved my problem and at a reasonable cost."

The timeline for a garage remodel varies significantly based on project scope, contractor availability, and permit processing times. Simple cosmetic updates might be completed in a few days, while full conversions to living spaces could take several weeks or longer.
Weather conditions, material availability, and unexpected structural issues can all affect completion timelines. Working with experienced professionals and securing necessary permits early can help keep your project on schedule.
Converting a garage into a living space can be worthwhile if you need an additional functional area and don't require the garage for vehicle storage. The value added depends on your local housing market, the quality of the conversion, and neighborhood norms. In areas with limited parking, eliminating garage space might negatively impact resale value. Consider consulting a local real estate professional to understand how such a conversion might affect your home's marketability in your specific area.
Most substantial garage remodels require permits, especially when changing the structure's purpose, modifying electrical systems, adding plumbing, or converting to living space. Permit requirements vary by location, so check with your local building department before beginning work.
Proceeding without required permits can result in fines, complications during home sales, and potential safety issues. Many contractors can assist with the permit application process and ensure work meets local building codes.
You can reduce garage remodel costs by handling simple demolition work yourself, shopping for materials during sales, repurposing existing features, and obtaining multiple contractor quotes. Consider tackling straightforward tasks like painting while leaving specialized work to professionals. Phasing your project over time can help manage cash flow while maintaining quality standards. Investing in proper insulation and durable materials often proves cost-effective long-term by improving energy efficiency and reducing maintenance needs.
