"He was nice enough to come to our home and gave us an estimate on some additional work we wanted done. We were not ready in late 2017 to start. We contacted him Spring of 2018 and never received a response. It was very disappointing because we thought we could trust him since he initially did a great job for us. We contacted him via Angie List, business email, and cell phone to no avail."

"Our initial contact with Igor was excellent. He is very knowledgeable about windows and very helpful in explaining things to us. The team promptly arrived at 7: 00 am. The work was done in a professional manner. They were kind, considerate and when they finished each day, everything was cleaned up. They showed us how to operate the newly installed windows. I am pleased with the finished product. I would definitely hire FB Construction to do additional projects around my home."

"We hired Tim to remodel our bathroom. Everything had to go; down to the studs! In only 3 weeks Tim built us a beautiful walk in shower, new lights, exhaust fan, sinks, counter tops etc. The tile in the shower and floor is perfect. Tim is great to work with, keeping us informed every step of the way. He understood our vision. He is great to work with. We would highly recommend Creative Building Solutions!!"

"I can't say enough about A P Builders and how absolutely wonderful they have been from start to finish. We completely gutted and remodeled our home and Angelo was upfront, honest, timely, and everything that was contracted was done to perfection. We had crew there every day from start to finish. He started on time and finished on time. Any change orders were handled professionally and solutions were found for any unforeseen challenges due to the age of my home. I highly recommend AP Builders for any of your home improvement needs."

"Dave and his crew were incredible. Always in contact and ready to answer any of your questions from start to finish. They were professional and quick and very clean. They care about the little details which shows you they value their talents and care about their work. If you’re looking for an efficient great group of contractors this is your bunch. We absolutely love the result. Our job from start to finish for ordering and installing the cabinets and countertops was a little over a week. Truly amazing time frame. If you want a great experience with a remodel, which we all know can be stressful lol, give him a call you will not be disappointed. Thank you Dave and Crew we are incredibly happy with it! 😊"

"DemoWorks was extremely professional and called me right away to schedule a consultation. Dom was very attentive in following up with all of my questions. Their prices were extremely fair and the customer service was great. I ended up going with another company only because I found out they were already doing work in the building so it was moreso out of convenience. I would definitely work with them in the future!"

"We recently completed a full gut renovation with a second-story addition with Villa Builders, and the experience exceeded our expectations from start to finish. Despite the complexity of essentially rebuilding the home while adding an entirely new level, their team maintained clear communication, stayed transparent on budget and timelines, and handled any unexpected challenges with professionalism and practical solutions. The quality of workmanship is outstanding—the addition blends seamlessly with the original structure, and the finishes throughout the home reflect true attention to detail. They also did an excellent job reimagining the layout to improve flow, natural light, and overall functionality. The end result feels like a brand-new custom home, and we would highly recommend Villa Builders to anyone considering a major renovation or addition."

FAQs for addition to existing structure building service projects in Lake Forest, 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.
