"I would totally recommend this company! Ariel went above and beyond for me when replacing my roof and gutters! Ariel would call me and let me know he was on the way or if he was running even 5 minutes behind. My house looks great and I will be using them again come spring to start replacing some of my windows. Thank you Ariel! Your crew was great, too."

"Marcus showed up on time to look at the damage and give me an estimate. He was very professional and performed the work promptly He and his laborer did a great job and cleaned up very well. I will have him put the air conditioner into a side wall in the spring when it's warmer. I am very pleased with his work. He also did a couple of very small jobs for me at no additional cost which I appreciated very much. I am more than happy to give him a great review and to recommend him as a contractor."

"All Star Installations Inc was professional in every way. We had our roof replaced and our chimney cap repaired. They did both jobs with skill and precision. They were thorough, hardworking, and an immense pleasure to work with. They did a tremendous job from start to finish and the clean up was impeccable. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The new roof and chimney cap on our home looks amazing! I highly recommend All Star Installations Inc. Ryan and Chris are top notch!!"

"Before I start, I have had two bad handymen/ contractors in the past. I had never met Josh before this job.

Cooper's Construction/ Josh was a referral from a friend/ manager of a large retail paint store chain. Josh came in ready to not only quote the interior painting I needed done, but also took the time to walk around the house and point out and explain exactly how they would attack the job, possible obstacles and a REALISTIC completion date (most contractors/ handymen in me past experiences, grossly exaggerate). For this quote being our third, he came in not only the lowest (without asking what the others quoted), but my wife and I felt the most comfortable. To be honest, I am glad that it worked out that way after learning the story of the owner, Josh being in the army and now back helping the economy by creating a company and hiring workers/ creating jobs.
Josh and his team came ready to work (a long drive for them to get to Carmel) and showed up promptly at 9am the day he was supposed to start. They went around and covered EVERYTHING, took down all of the wall hangings and window treatments with great caution and walked through with me to ask which nails I would like to keep in the wall and which nails I would like removed and patched - most painters will not perform this service at no additional cost. His team was very courteous and proper to not only my wife and I while we were in the home, they took the time to make sure our 5 month old son was in a proper room for ventilation and also would come put a smile on his face. No foul language was used at anytime. The project took 3 and a half days. There was one day they did not get here until 11am (9 am or earlier the other 3), but it was due to the severe hail the night before and Josh made sure to call me and let me know he would be late (I wasn't aware handymen and contractors gave that type of professional courtesy). The job was complete and he gave a thorough walk through with me to see if there was anything to my dissatisfaction.
****BONUS**** To make sure the job was complete and I could get the whole view, Josh and his team went around, RE-HUNG every drape, window covering, painting and outlet covers in addition to painting our hand rails and some base boards (which we did not pay for nor discuss) to have the job look absolutely stunning. One painter/ contractor has quoted me an extra charge of $150 to put the hardware back on and move furniture. This was a service Cooper's construction provided with no questions asked, they went the extra mile to touch up stuff they had not even painted.
In conclusion, I will consider Cooper's construction my right hand handyman. I gave him an opportunity to quote two other jobs, more painting and a fence... I will make sure they get my business. To all, do yourself a service and please give this young professional and courteous man a chance to come look at your job, quote and get it done right.
-Sincerely, one happy customer, Justin

FAQs for major home repair (general contractor) projects in Machesney Park, IL

Medium-density fiberboard performs well in kitchen cabinet applications when properly finished and protected. The material offers excellent dimensional stability, maintaining its shape better than solid wood when exposed to temperature and humidity fluctuations. A quality sealer or laminate covering provides essential protection against moisture exposure. Many commercial cabinet manufacturers regularly use MDF for cabinet doors and components due to its smooth finish and painting properties. With proper installation and maintenance, MDF cabinets can provide years of reliable service in kitchen environments.

Medium-density fiberboard weighs considerably more than plywood of equivalent thickness due to its dense, uniform composition. This additional weight requires stronger mounting hardware and support structures, particularly for shelving or wall-mounted applications. The heavier nature of MDF can complicate handling during installation, often requiring additional assistance for larger panels. For weight-sensitive applications, consider ultralight MDF varieties that maintain structural integrity while reducing overall mass.

Medium-density fiberboard can function in bathroom environments when properly selected and protected. For bathroom applications, moisture-resistant MDF varieties offer enhanced protection against humidity and occasional water exposure. All exposed edges and surfaces require thorough sealing with appropriate primers and waterproof finishes. Areas with direct water contact need additional protection through laminate or specialized waterproof coatings. Proper bathroom ventilation helps extend the lifespan of MDF installations by reducing ambient moisture levels.

Medium-density fiberboard production utilizes wood byproducts and manufacturing waste, reducing demand for virgin timber. Traditional MDF manufacturing incorporates formaldehyde-based adhesives that can release emissions over time. Many manufacturers now offer formaldehyde-free or reduced-emission options for health-conscious consumers. The material's consistent quality and efficient manufacturing process result in minimal waste during production. When selecting MDF, look for products with environmental certifications that verify sustainable manufacturing practices and acceptable emission levels.
