About Harvard
Harvard homes — what we see most.
Harvard is the northwesternmost city in our McHenry County coverage. Older agricultural-edge housing — pre-1950 farmhouses, downtown bungalows, post-war ranches. The Motorola plant closure left an inventory of mid-century homes priced lower than the rest of the county. Newer construction is sparse. Common work: rot repair from older windows, gutter replacement, kitchen and bath fixture updates on long-deferred maintenance.
Harvard is 35 minutes from our shop — the longest drive in our Wave 1 coverage. We schedule Harvard visits 1–2 weeks out and try to batch them when we can.

What homeowners say.
We don't have Harvard-specific reviews yet. Reviews below are from customers in neighboring cities.
We had five interior doors that needed replacing and some trim work in the hallway. They knocked it all out in a day and a half. Everything is square, the paint lines are clean, and they swept up before they left.
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 — Harvard
Do you make the drive to Harvard?
Yes. We schedule Harvard 1–2 weeks out and batch visits when possible. No separate trip fee but expect a few extra business days on the schedule.
Can you work on older farmhouses?
Yes. Pre-1950 farmhouses have plaster walls, old wood trim, and frequently original galvanized plumbing. We do interior fixture work and structural repairs; full re-piping is a different scope.
Are you set up for well and septic homes?
Yes. We work around them but don't touch the well or septic themselves.
Is winter scheduling slower?
Outdoor work in Harvard mostly waits until spring because of exposure. Indoor work runs year-round.
How long is the drive?
About 35 minutes via Route 14 and Route 173.
