Completed Residential Projects

We have laid down gravel and compacted it and are now ready to pour the concrete for the new sidewalk.

We are going to begin complete interior renovations on a house in Winnetka.

There are violations on these porches in Chicago and they need to be rebuilt to meet the current building codes.

We have begun excavation and framing of the new sidewalk in the Village of Golf.

We will be installing new soffits, fascia and gutters in Glenview.

We have passed all the rough inspections and can now start insulating the house.

We have applied a waterproofing membrane in the showers and have installed the electric floor heat.

We have completed all the rough work and are now ready for inspection.

We have cleared the brush and trees and the surveyor has been out to stake out the new sidewalk.

We are installing Brazilian cherry hardwood throughout the house.

We are now ready to install the quartz countertop.

We are using white trim with the Deep Ocean color Hardie board siding to complement our stone color.

We have installed the Valder’s stone and limestone on the bay areas on our Custom Home in Morton Grove.

We are installing the cabinets, doors and trim.

Now that the rigid insulation has been installed we can start installing the Hardie board siding.

We have installed the stairs and the trim around the doors, windows and floor is being installed.

The limestone has been delivered so that we can continue with the brick work in Chicago.

With the rough framing done, we can now have the HVAC, plumbing and electrical work start.

The arched window has been put together and is now ready to install in the front.

We have started the stone work on our Spec Home at 937 Echo Lane in Glenview.

We have finished framing the first floor of our spec home at 937 Echo Lane in Glenview.

We had to use a bobcat with a concrete carrier to bring the concrete to the back yard patio and garage.

The gravel has been compacted and the wire mesh has been laid down and we can now pour the concrete.

The next step will be to prime the walls and start the finish work.

The basement slab has been poured.  They have put control joints uniformly across the basement floor and then they do the final smoothing concrete smoothing by hand.

The flooring has been delivered and now needs to sit and acclimate for minimally 5 days before it can be installed.

We have compacted and leveled gravel at the bottom of the basement.  We have installed a vapor barrier between the gravel and the concrete and then we have put down wire mesh.

We have completed the stone work, poured the concrete chimney caps and installed the chimney pots on our Custom Home project in Morton Grove.

We have sprayed the closed cell insulation at our new construction in Morton Grove.

We have sprayed the walls with Rub-R-Wall, which has a warranty not to leak for the life of the foundation.  After the Rub-R-Wall product has dried, we installed insulation on the foundation walls.

We have removed the forms and while we let the concrete cure, we will install the steel beams.

The foundation walls are being poured at our new construction spec home in Glenview.

We are installing the limestone around the windows, the chimneys and the stone on the back side of the house.  We are using buff colored Valders Stone from Eden Stone in Wisconsin.

The owner has selected a Cosmo 42″ gas fireplace made by Heat and Glo.

Footings are an important part of foundation construction. They are made of concrete with rebar reinforcement that has been poured into an excavated trench. The purpose of footings is to support the foundation and prevent settling.

ThermoSeal 2000 closed cell insulation is applied as a liquid spray which expands approximately 15 times its initial mass and cures within seconds into a semi-rigid mass. Fills all building cavities completely sealing all cracks, crevices, and voids where air loss and infiltration are most common.  It is designed to make homes more energy efficient, stronger, healthier, quieter and more comfortable.

We have started excavation of our new construction spec home at 937 Echo Lane in Glenview.

We have demolished the existing home and will begin excavation for our new spec home at 937 Echo Lane in Glenview.

We have the construction fence up and the permits are ready.  Once the water is shut off we can start demolition  next week.
