Don’t Get the Same Kitchen, Bathroom, Basement, or Home as Everyone Else. We don’t believe in copy-and-paste designs, prefabricated shortcuts, or cookie-cutter layouts. Whether you’re updating a kitchen, remodeling a bathroom, finishing a basement, or renovating your entire home, your project is custom-designed to match your taste, your needs, and the way you live. Since 2011, no two spaces we’ve completed have ever been the same. That’s because we take the time to understand your vision and craft a design that’s entirely your own.

Titan Builders' impact in Chicago's remodeling market is largely due to our driving ambition to be the area's most client-focused company. According to Michael Dreier, our Founder and President of Titan Builders, "Our primary mission is to be a multi-faceted, modern, and innovative company. A total solution company that provides 5 star service to our customers irrespective of the size of the project". Titan Builders' perspective comes from years of working closely with our customers, so listening to them and their needs helped shaped our mission. That, along with a highly experienced team that have been in the remodeling industry for many years, positions us as a leader in Chicago's remodeling market. “Team Titan”, as we call ourselves, strives to consistently deliver results for our clients by providing quality workmanship and total integrity, regardless of the size or complexity of the project. We also believe that the success is not in the completion of the work, but in the client's overall positive experience as we help bring their remodeling ideas “to life” in their homes. Looking to the future, Titan Builders will be a continued leader in the home remodeling market, adopting new ways to engage and connect with both new and previous clients. With today's technology and a more sophisticated, educated customer, we are setting the bar even higher in terms of product and service, and we're proud of it! We are the finest group of professionals...our sales force, craftsmen, our staff, and our leadership are dedicated to achieving the highest results for our valued clients.

"I can't speak highly enough of Titan Builders. The owner Mike is terrific. He is so good at what he does, and I knew I wanted to work with him from the moment I first talked to him on the phone. He immediately felt like a friend, and someone I really did believe cared about doing a good job for me. I did interview 2 other companies, but got such a sense of integrity and honesty from Mike I picked him. He and his crew leader Robert entirely lived up to my expectations, and I am entirely satisfied with the job they did. I live in the suburbs, and our condo is a second home in the city, so I was apprehensive on how easy it would be to manage such an undertaking from 60 miles away, but Mike and Robert made it so easy. They answered every call and text promptly. They gave me advice on products to use and design ideas. When there were a few bumps in the road (nothing to do with them ), Mike talked me through them in a calm manner that immediately calmed me. When Best Buy totally messed up my order of appliances (again something that Titan had nothing to do with), Mike helped me not panic about it. Robert handled all the details of meeting with management of the condo and doing all the paperwork necessary, I never had to do a thing. They came in on budget, and in a timely manner, even being over 2 holidays and the few issues due to the age of the building that arose (and were handled seamlessly by Mike and Robert. Most importantly they did a fantastic job! We had a wall knocked down, sheet rocked over an old service door, the whole kitchen reconfigured, and Mike not only assured me it could all be done, he also gave me a few design ideas that I am really glad I listened to. I now have a beautiful kitchen, and I am sure have added tremendous value to our unit. I would use them again in a heartbeat, and my daughter will definitely be calling them when she remodels her basement. I am confident you will be glad if you call Mike!"

Chicagoland's Reliable Home Improvement Company servicing the City of Chicago and most suburbs. We specialize in full remodels of kitchens, bathrooms, condos and basements. We do not offer repair work or partial remodels. Celebrating 25 years in business.

"Miro redid our kitchen and half bath and we're thrilled with the results. We got a few quotes and ultimately went with Homewise Remodelers because the price was reasonable and Miro was so thorough in walking us through our options. He helped us select cabinets and worked through several versions of the kitchen layout until we were happy with it--we were easily able to swap out cabinet layouts and finishings, like adding a farmhouse sink. His crew were reliable, on-time, and respectful of our property throughout the remodel and we appreciated their attention to detail. They solicited our input on decorative details and were quick to fix things we didn't like, e.g., the location of kitchen cabinet pulls. We felt they treated our home as they would their own. The project even wrapped up a few days early. We would absolutely recommend Homewise Remodelers and choose them for future projects."

We are a family owned business with over 40 years of construction experience between us. We specialize in Kitchen and Bathroom Remodels, Basements, General Remodels, Deck Building. Good quality craftsmanship is what we deliver and nothing is more important to us than your satisfaction and referral. 10 employees, billing procedures depend on the job, free estimates.We service the Northern suburbs of Chicago & Southern Wisconsin.

"We hired Rowe Builders to remodel our master bath. Several years ago, we had hired Ryan's company to remodel three other bathrooms in our house. Based on the quality of workmanship, timeliness of completion and all around ease of working with Ryan and his crew, we again enlisted his help. Once again Ryan and his crew did an excellent job on all aspects of the project. We had a couple of concerns with the shower tile (basically a poor design choice on our part) and asked Ryan if we could switch to a different tile. While only a small portion had been completed, Ryan was more than willing to start over. We have had no issues with this current project or with any of the other bathrooms they completed for us. I highly recommend Rowe Builders for your remodeling needs."

FAQs for refrigerator install or repair projects in Vernon Hills, IL

Warning signs of compressor failure include unusual operating sounds (clicking, buzzing, or humming), inadequate cooling despite the fan running, excessive heat around the compressor area, and frequent cycling on and off. Your refrigerator might also run continuously without reaching the proper temperature, causing food to spoil quickly. Before concluding it's a compressor issue, verify that your refrigerator has power and the correct temperature settings.

The value proposition depends on several factors. Compressor replacement makes financial sense for refrigerators under seven to 10 years old, especially premium models or those still under warranty. For units approaching or exceeding their expected 12 to 15-year lifespan, or when repair costs approach half the price of a new refrigerator, replacing the entire appliance offers better long-term value.

Refrigerator compressors function effectively for eight to 15 years, though this varies based on usage patterns, maintenance regularity, and manufacturing quality. Environmental factors like ambient temperature, power supply stability, and ventilation also impact longevity. Regular maintenance practices—including coil cleaning, ensuring adequate airflow around the unit, and avoiding overfilling—can significantly extend compressor life.

Refrigerator compressor replacement should be performed exclusively by EPA-certified professionals. The process involves handling refrigerant, which requires special licensing, training, and equipment to manage safely and legally. Amateur attempts risk environmentally harmful refrigerant leaks, component damage, warranty voiding, and potential safety hazards. The specialized tools and expertise required make this repair particularly unsuitable for DIY efforts.
