Home Installation Professionals are PROFESSIONAL and ALWAYS work with permits from the local code authorities for your safety and protection. Permits are not only required by law everywhere but if your house burns down, was flooded, your family suffers a personal injury or your house is damaged based on work performed by unlicensed and or unpermitted people the insurance companies would not cover the damage. Unpermitted work done illegally also impacts the resale of your home. if done correctly legally permitted work will have a minimum impact on accessed taxes and will always be non taxable for a period of years through exemptions programs.

The State of Illinois also has  Consumer Protection Act Laws that all services and contractors must comply with in all ways. If the builder you have been talking with is not familiar with this ACT and how they must comply with the consumers protection act of the State of Illinois then you have a problem. For example part of these laws require that they inform you the consumer of these laws and have you sign paperwork required by law at contract. If you have not signed this document the contractor is not following the law and will most likely null and void the contract you have with them based on case law in these areas.

Home installation Professionals  ARE professionals and protect our customers and their families by following these and all local, State and National Codes, Laws and Ordinances. We gladly open up all our work for detailed inspections throughout the build process by all Code Inspection authorities. All local code authorities know and respect our work.

Brian,

I wanted to let you know how happy we are with your work on our home 
addition.

As you know from our initial meetings, we loved our small 70 year old 
cape cod house.  However, with two kids already and one more on the 
way, we had outgrown it and were faced with either "adding on" or 
moving.  Because of you, we were able to expand the house while 
retaining its charm and character - all while staying within our 
limited budget.

In my opinion, the project was ambitious.  It required completely 
tearing off the second floor of our house, converting the 1.5 story 
roof line into a full 2 story.    By doing this, it gave us an 
additional bedroom and bathroom, and allowed us to convert our tiny 
master bedroom into a full master suite.  We were under a tight 
deadline with the upcoming birth of our baby, as well as our need to 
continue living in the lower level throughout construction (except 
during demolition).

An added challenge was the fact that the new second floor expanded 
out over our kitchen, which was determined to have insufficient 
foundation to support two stories.  I was afraid this was going to 
make the project infeasible, but this was the first of many occasions 
where you found an effective (and cost effective) solution to a 
problem.  By "underpinning" the foundation, your crew was able to 
fortify our existing foundation, making it safe for a second story.

I think this exemplifies what I admire most about your work.  You 
consistently met challenges and problems "head on", solving them 
quickly and completely.  You and your crew don't take short cuts.  
Quality obviously matters to you.  My wife and I heard your crew say 
several times during the project, "this is how I would do it on my 
own house".  The craftsmanship is just outstanding, particularly the 
carpentry and ceramic tiling.

I came to really appreciate your input when there were choices to be 
made, such as the siding material and type of bathroom countertop.  I 
think we took your advice whenever possible, and I think our house is 
much nicer because of it.  The solid oak doors and trim are an 
especially nice touch.

I also want to commend your crew for their professionalism.  The 
construction area was always kept clean and safe.  Everyone respected 
our curtained-off living area downstairs.  We never heard any 
language inappropriate for our kids to hear.  And, most importantly, 
your crew was on site nearly every day - progress was always being made.

The end result is just fantastic.  We have enough room for our kids, 
we have a nice master suite with an unbelievable walk-in shower, and 
we finally have enough closet and attic space.  We have also received 
several comments from our neighbors about how nicely the exterior of 
our house retains the "look" of the original house.  It really is the 
best of both worlds.

Thank you so much for everything, Brian.  I have already (and will 
continue to) recommend you to our closest friends and neighbors.  I 
want them to be as happy with their additions as we are with ours.

The Monroes

Dear Brian, 

We just wanted to take a moment to reflect on the past seven months and the incredible transformation that you and your team engineered at our home. 

You took us from a 1973 style home with 5 bedrooms and 3 baths to a modern home with 6 bedrooms and 4 ½ baths, along with a larger garage, walk-in pantry, new mudroom, library, basement with walk-out, large master bedroom, beautiful expanded kitchen with granite counter tops and bar, a wet-bar, and of course the huge but cozy great room.  Our home is totally transformed with hard wood floors, side-lights to our front doors (thank you for building these in your own shop), new siding and sidewalks, and a completely new profile with the new master over the garage.  For most of our project our family of 6 was reduced down to a 2 bedroom, 1 bath home as the team upgraded something in almost every room of the house.  With all the dust and personal disruption, I’d do it again to get results like these. 

I have appreciated your teams’ engineering, the sturdy construction, close beam-spacing, high quality wood, 6” outer studs, external plywood, and overall high-quality construction in areas that are normally “under the hood”.  I really like all the little “extras”, like motion/panic lighting and electrical boxes in the eves for Christmas lighting tied to wall-timers in the garage.  I also personally want to thank you for working with me on my low voltage wiring.  Your teams worked with me and around me constantly while I wired many, many cable, ethernet, ceiling speaker/volume control pairs, and security sensors into the addition.  The guys on your team, like Bob Ruggles who lent me his tools and stopped by on the weekends to give me pointers (since this was the only time I could really do the wiring myself), are absolutely top notch. 

From the time we called you in late December to now, we never dreamed we’d be sitting in such a wonderfully improved home.  Originally, we just needed to fix our foundation problem and we knew we wanted to expand our house to accommodate our family’s needs.  You and Sean took our ideas and offered suggestions.  The results are perfect.  The flow of our home is very conducive to our needs and the work is beautiful.  Thank you.

We also want to let you know how much we appreciate your team of professionals.  Everyone who entered our door was cognizant that they were in our “home”.  I know having Kerrie and four children around everyday while the men were working was a challenge.  But each trade was respectful of our presence and our property.  They always cleaned up at the end of the day and kept the work environment safe. 

In addition, each trade was very talented in their respective specialty.  Each offered real-time on-sight solutions when necessary.  They were friendly and trustworthy.  Each trade seemed to know the other and they all have a good working relationship with each other. 

Selecting a contractor is a very important decision.  It’s not only about the total cost of the job or the timing of the job.  It’s about choosing to be in a close relationship while making some big decisions.  We feel grateful to our neighbor who recommended you to us.  You are trustworthy, on time, knowledgeable, experienced, well known, and reputable.  You are a good advisor and are always available. 

Despite our project being mostly complete, we are looking forward to a lasting relationship with you and your team of professionals. 

Sincerely,

Tom and Kerrie Black

Dear Brian,

Just a final note from us on our 2006 room addition project: We’d like to thank-you and your team of professionals for extending and creating a new centerpiece for our lives. We and our neighbors were impressed with the pace and cleanliness of the job, inside and out. In particular, I’d like to commend you for putting together a competent, thoughtful, and skilled group of contractors under your umbrella - I hope we’ve expressed our gratitude and satisfaction to each and every one of them as they are truly exceptional. Our schedules, and the two of us working out of the house full-time during construction was sure to present some stress but for our part, we enjoyed the experience. We were sad to see each trade finish and move to their next project.

Our objective in taking on this project was to fix or improve all the layout deficiencies of our existing floor plan and update the living areas. We accomplished all of our goals and are proud of our now-finished home.

Most importantly, thank-you: for holding to your promised schedule; never veering off budget; and for delivering a wonderful finished product.

Best regards,
Margie and Scott Timmins

Mr. Brian Weinstock

At the start of our project, we went over our extensive wish list of changes and additions with you. It included just about everything we had thought about for several years that we would like to do to upgrade or repair our house – add a master bedroom & bath, remodel the kitchen, increase the kitchen and family room size, finish the basement, modify several walls, plus replace the aging siding, windows, exterior doors, and driveway. Since it was pretty extensive, we didn’t really think we would be able to do everything and were ready to back off what we felt we could do without.

Because the design that you and Sean developed was so appealing and your bid was affordable, we signed on for the whole deal! The design not only increased our living space, but it also opened up the existing areas in ways we hadn’t imagined would be possible. There were a number of design features that caught that attention of both of us – increasing the passage ways between rooms both downstairs and upstairs, completely rebuilding the fireplace, and adding windows and skylights to allow in much more natural light. Certain things appealed to Sue – the beautiful designs possible with the tile and stone, the immaculate granite surfaces, and the fluted finish on wood surfaces – while others to Bob – MicroLam to hold up the back half of the house and several internal sections (really impressive!), zoned heating/cooling (he didn’t think it would work – but it did), plus the circulating pump to keep hot water available almost instantaneously throughout the house.

You coordinated the work of your crews so that we always had living space, eventually reworking all but two of the rooms in the house. Well, we had to store our stuff somewhere! Since we both work full time, we often felt like we were in a foot race to keep up with you on the various design points and specifications. Yet you always supported us as we filled in the many blanks you needed to keep the project moving forward.

When we think of you, your focus on customer satisfaction always comes to mind. We could only hope that other businesses were half as focused on it as you have been. In fact, whenever we asked about doing something, it seemed like your response “We can do that!” was out before we even finished our question. As a result, we ended up making changes and additions after the project was going, as you well know.

Your crews were excellent throughout the project. Their craftsmanship shows up in the finished product - the best testimonial to the work that each did. You offered us an excellent value, and we are really pleased to offer our recommendation of your services to others based on the project at our home.

Sincerely,

Sue & Bob Stockwell
