Needed a ceiling fan swapped out in the living room and a new pendant light over the kitchen island. They had both done in about two hours. Wiring was clean and they patched the old holes in the ceiling perfectly.

About Elgin
Elgin homes — what we see most.
Elgin is the largest city in our footprint after Aurora. Three distinct housing zones: pre-1900 historic homes near downtown (Italianate, Victorian, Queen Anne), mid-century post-war neighborhoods on the east side, and 1995–2015 subdivisions on the far west side near Randall Road and the new I-90 corridor. The historic district has some of the most original architectural detail in the region — and the most challenging repair work because of it.
Thirty minutes south of our shop. Elgin's size and housing diversity make it a steady market — historic restoration on one job, builder-grade repair on the next.

Frequently asked — Elgin
Do you work on the historic homes near downtown Elgin?
Yes. Pre-1900 stock has plaster walls, original wood trim, and old mechanicals. We respect what's there and match what we can. Some exterior work in historic districts requires committee approval — we'll tell you up front.
Can you handle the Far West Side subdivisions too?
Yes. Eagle Heights, Bowes Creek, and the Randall Road corridor builds are standard 1995–2015 production homes. Faster, cheaper, and more predictable than historic work.
Is Elgin's permit office quick?
Reasonable for a city its size. Standard residential permits move in 2–3 weeks. We handle the submission.
Do you do a lot of work on the East Side?
We've worked across the city. The East Side mid-century stock has fewer surprises than the historic district and standard mechanicals.
How long is the drive?
About 30 minutes from Crystal Lake via Randall Road.
