Rockford, Illinois — State Street and Shaw Road

Remodeling and deck building across northern Illinois

Decks, screened porches, kitchens, bathrooms, basements, and additions — built to the code your town actually enforces. We work inside about a thirty-mile radius of Rockford. We are not driving in from Chicago or Madison.

Every project starts with a drawing and a 3D rendering at no charge — see the product before it is built.

What we build

Residential and commercial remodeling

The core work, each with its own page on the code, the cost drivers, and the questions people ask.

Deck Building & Design

Pressure-treated, cedar, and composite decks built to code, with bolted ledgers and flashing.

Composite Decking

Composite and PVC decking, including Trex, framed to the maker's joist spacing rules.

Deck Repair & Inspection

Inspections and repairs — ledger and flashing checks, rotted framing, loose rails.

Screened Porches & Three-Season Rooms

Screened porches and three-season rooms with footings and framing sized for the roof.

Kitchen Remodeling

Complete kitchen remodels — cabinets, tile, backsplashes, layout changes, and the trades behind the walls.

Bathroom Remodeling

Bathroom remodels — moving plumbing, waterproofing, tile, and fixing what's behind the drywall.

Basement Finishing

Basement finishing with moisture and egress sorted before the framing and drywall go in.

Home Additions

Home additions — footings, foundation tie-in, and the permit and drawings your town requires.

Whole-Home Remodeling

Whole-home renovations with the trades sequenced so nothing gets done twice.

Interior Painting

Interior painting as part of remodeling and repairs — walls, trim, ceilings, and transitions.

Siding Installation & Replacement

Siding installed as a system — flashing, water management, and transitions around openings.

Window Replacement

Window replacement coordinated with siding, trim, flashing, and interior finish work.

Illinois does not license remodelers

There is no state exam, no state license number, no state board for remodeling. So we tell you exactly what to check on any contractor — including us.

Permit rules change by town

Rockford is on the 2021 code cycle; Loves Park, six miles away, is on 2015. We lay out the department, the code, and the phone number for every town we work in.

Your rights under Illinois law

Work over $1,000 requires a written contract and a consumer-rights pamphlet before work begins. We explain the law in plain language.

About — FAQ

What it actually costs

We do not give prices over the phone — that is a guess. We explain what drives cost in each job type and how the estimate works.

What happens when you call

The first call, the site visit, the written estimate, the contract, the permit, and the final walkthrough — step by step.
