About Algonquin

Algonquin homes — what we see most.

Algonquin straddles two eras — the original village core along the Fox River with pre-1950 homes, and the major subdivision growth from 1995–2008 west of Randall Road. Trails of Woods Creek, Willoughby Farms, Saddlewood — typical late-90s to mid-2000s production homes. The riverfront homes need more exterior maintenance from humidity and freeze-thaw cycles. The newer subdivisions are showing the wear of 20+ years on builder-grade finishes.

Fourteen minutes from our shop down Randall Road. Algonquin is one of the higher-demand cities in our footprint for kitchen remodels because the 2000s-era kitchens are right at replacement age now.

From Algonquin customers

What Algonquin homeowners say.

Got a quote for a bathroom remodel and they actually showed up when they said they would. Demo to finished tile in two weeks. My wife is thrilled with the shower niche — that was Josh's idea.

Frequently asked — Algonquin

Do you work on the older Old Algonquin homes near the river?
Yes. The pre-1950 stock there has older mechanicals and more exterior wear because of humidity and freeze-thaw. We do more rot repair, exterior trim, and gutter work on those homes than on the subdivisions.
Are 2000s-era kitchens worth remodeling or replacing?
Depends on the layout and the cabinet quality. If the layout works, painting cabinets and replacing counters/backsplash gets you 80% of the way there for 30% of the cost of a full remodel. If the layout is dated (separate kitchen and dining room walls), opening it up changes the calculus.
Can you handle work on Randall Road retail-adjacent rentals?
We're set up for residential. Multi-unit rental work and commercial spaces are a different scope — we can talk through it but might refer you out.
Is the Algonquin permit office quick?
Reasonable. Algonquin issues most building permits in 7–14 business days for typical residential work. We handle the submission so you don't deal with it.
How long is the drive?
About 14 minutes via Randall Road. Easy same-day visit.
