Design and Build Companies in Blue Island, IL

“I highly recommend Innovative Design Concepts for any organization or individual seeking outstanding architectural/design services. Our organization worked with Chris over a three year period to design a major renovation to our structure which was over 60 years old and was severely outdated. Chris worked with us to prepare a new site plan, exterior elevations, and floor plan, including a 2D color rendering of the project. Throughout our engagement with Chris, we found him to be extremely knowledgeable and resourceful in addressing our concerns and some of the constraints of our project (space, cost). He came to us with creative solutions and ultimately the final product was visually stunning and exactly what we needed from a functional perspective. We also found Chris and his colleagues to be extremely responsive to our questions and needs, and very open to our feedback. IDCI's professionalism and outstanding customer service really made the design process smooth and enjoyable. I would not hesitate to hire IDCI again. Thank you Chris!”

“I hired Lugbill Designs for a kitchen renovation and was very impressed! Erica Lugbill has a terrific design eye and a talent for making a space really pop. She is extremely professional, courteous, and shows tremendous attention to detail. I couldn't be happier with the end results and will use Lugbill Designs for design work for many years to come.”

“I had about a third of my basement, about 550 sq. ft., completed using the Matrix Basement System. This r-18 rated, water proof, mold proof, mildew proof system (4' by 8' panels) was perfect for protecting my investment. They also did my drop ceiling, all electrical, hvac work and installed the three doors we added. The total process took about 4 weeks. The work crew was very professional. They worked with me in coordinating the parts of this project that I had other contractors complete and made the whole experience very enjoyable. My completed basement blends in with the rest of my house. The insulated panels keeps the humidity down and the temperatures at the same level as my upstairs level. I love it.”

“We have been a client for several projects. Centaur has been exceptional on all of these. The projects are expertly done and the teams are professional from setup to cleanup. We would recommend Centaur for any interior projects with high expectations for great results.”

“Pat Franz and his entire Clairmont, Ltd. team were exceptional. My husband and I are thrilled with the design but, most importantly, the entire remodeling process was smooth... thanks to Pat. He patiently worked with us to perfect a design that was both within our budget and met our desires. Even though a third-party designer made a critical measurement error, Pat was able to quickly think of an ingenious idea and executed on the new design immediately. We couldn't have been happier with the professional, clean, and efficient crew also. We would eagerly recommend Clairmont, Ltd. for any and all projects.”

“We have been working with Liv Companies on the major kitchen and bath remodel of our LaGrange, IL home, which included removing big walls, new electrical, and new plumbing. We wanted a character home with a more modern layout, but were intimidated by the renovation process. Dave and Russ have made the whole thing so easy from start to finish. When we were house hunting, they helped us understand the potential of homes as well as the budget that would be required to help us achieve our vision. During the renovation process, working with a company where the architect and the builder are partners and have a track record of working together made the whole process smooth and seamless. Most importantly, the design and the execution of that design was flawless and we could not be more pleased with the outcome. Liv Companies helped us create a custom home that is perfect for our family (and stayed on budget!).”

“I stumbled across the Cypress Hill website when I was looking for a builder. I feel incredibly blessed to have found Cypress Hill Development. Dan Buie of Cypress Hill built a new home for me and I could not be happier with the process and the result. I have three words to describe my home: quality, quality, quality. The quality of the construction at every point was superb. Dan is incredibly knowledgeable, creative, personable, and enthusiastic. Not only is he organized and knowledgeable, but he is very much on top of the budget issues. His background in accounting really comes into play because managing the costs is a challenge. I came into the process knowing virtually nothing; Dan took the time to educate me. He helped me use my limited funds in the most effective manner. He understands the needs of families, but also has an excellent sense of how to put lasting value in a home. His sense of design is flawless -- you won't need an interior designer. I enjoyed the process of building the home immensely (yes, I enjoyed it!). I wish I could build another one. In fact, my immediate family was so impressed with every aspect of my experience and the quality of the home construction are going to have Cypress Hill build a home for them. I enthusiastically recommend Cypress Hill. You will not be disappointed.”

“I WAS WORKING WITH "CHLEBEK ARCHITECTS, LTD." ON FEW SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCE PROJECTS AS A CONSULTING CIVIL ENGINEER. MR. CHLEBEK WAS VERY PROFESSIONAL, INNOVATION, RESPECTFUL, AND COOPERATIVE ON ANY DIFFICULT ISSUE OF DESIGNING PROCESS. ALSO, HE SHOWS RESPONSIBILITY TO MEET DEADLINES AND COST OF PROJECT FROM OWNERS PERSPECTIVE.”

“Peter and Kristen of PKPG Companies are the most knowledgeable, trustworthy and ethical individuals you will find anywhere. Working with them on building our custom home has been such a pleasure. We know first hand that this is not always the case...in fact, it is not all that common in the home construction industry. Many times what starts out well, but ends poorly. Peter has incredible skills and ability, that are rarely found in a custom home builder. There are never any surprises. He fully understands and expertly manages everything the home owner will experience. His background as Vice President in one of the largest US home developers has prepared him well. We give the highest praise possible for PKPG. We first recognized that Peter had a keen eye for the real estate market when he found a vacant parcel of land and successfully negotiated a super bargain in a prime location of Glenview, IL. He then "listened" to the ideas we had with respect to desired lifestyle, architectural taste, investment value, budget, etc. With that, he developed a comprehensive building plan and worked diligently with city officials on the approval process. His reputation and relationships with individuals were crucial in making this appear relatively seamless from our perspective, but it certainly required an experienced professional. When initiating the actual construction, Peter was totally transparent on everything. This made us feel very comfortable with the process and we have never been surprised by a hidden cost, up-charge or anything. Additionally, he makes insightful opinions and recommendations about critical decisions to be made. We always felt fully informed and truly felt like we got the most for our money spent. After the final inspection and occupancy, Peter and his team have always followed up on touch-ups and other details. Peter and Kristen of PKPG Companies are guaranteed to be your best advocates when building and you will not be disappointed. We have been so lucky to find them. Our highest recommendation goes out for PKPG. John and Denise Miskella”

“The kitchen Bogdan created for us is the prettiest kitchen I have ever had. I just pinch myself that it is ours, and that I get to cook in it every day. We live in a 1902s vintage condominium that has some beautiful details, and he created a kitchen as gracious as the property deserves. He helped us with the design, he listened to our wants and needs and helped us find the finishes, and even when he ran into a challenge (every single wall was cement) he never made us feel like anything was a problem. As we changed our mind on things, and added on air conditioning, and then a bathroom redo, he kindly performed beautiful work. His team was wonderful to have in our home- even taking care of our elderly dog when he needed it. This was just all so.....easy. And the results so beautiful. As Bogdan once told us, being good isn't enough. He wanted the work he did to be perfect. And we think it is.”
