"We lost some shingles after a big storm in April. We called and they got out there quickly and replaced the shingles - and didn't try to sell us a new roof! In the past everyone we talked to for this type of problem did a strong pitch to replace the whole roof, even though it's only 7-8 years old! We'll definitely be back to Supreme when we have the need again!"

If you want a high-end cabinet refacing experience in the Chicagoland suburbs, reach out to Redo Cabinets for a free quote.
"I would NOT recommend at all, especially for the amount of money charged, the disruption it caused with me and my husband’s work schedule, the length of time it took to finally get the project complete. A project like this is suppose to get you happy and excited to see the finishing project. I feel like we waited so long to redo our kitchen and it was ruined by this experience & taken for our $$$. This caused nothing but stress, headaches and lots of wasted time on the phone going back and forth, still with unresolved issues and no callback. I was told the whole project would take 5 days,(Cabinets & countertops). It took over a month, they had to come back several times due to the sloppy work, (even the 2nd installer made comments and shook his head, in disbelief -in how things looked), measurements were not correct, drawers were not aligned and put back properly, then they had to cut my drawers, making smaller in size to fit and look half way decent, excessive amounts of glue left, missing parts, mistakes by the installers, equipment left behind. I was also under the assumption workers were employees not 3rd party contractors, which was sent! Due to so many set backs, it was finally done days before Thanksgiving, therefore unable to host last minute- due to all the repeated deep cleaning needed from all the sawdust. We also were asked for payment way before the project was done. The ladies in the office were always nice, the sales guy was nice,but the production team/supervisors or bosses do not respond & after all the mishaps the installers attitude & energy changed. I will say our kitchen looks better than it did, but expected more for what we paid."

Guest house building services FAQs
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.
