Ed and his team were great to work with. Showed up on time every morning ready to work. Ed was very easy to get a hold of throughout the whole remodel. Him and his team even came out a few times after the project was finished to fix a couple small issues. We are very happy with our new kitchen.

Remodeling questions from Crystal Lake homeowners
Should a Crystal Lake renovation be planned one room at a time or as a connected project?
A single-room project can work when its floors, lighting, paint, trim, and utilities end cleanly at the room boundary. When those elements continue through adjoining spaces, a coordinated plan can prevent new work from being disturbed in a later phase.
What should be documented before opening walls in an established Crystal Lake home?
Record prior alterations, visible moisture or movement, panel and plumbing access, floor transitions, ceiling conditions, and the materials that will remain. Demolition may still reveal unknowns, but a detailed existing-condition review makes the proposal and change process clearer.
How does Crystal Lake describe its building-permit process?
The City organizes the process into application, plan review, and inspection. Whether a particular remodel needs a permit depends on its address and scope, so the Building Division should confirm the path before construction begins.
What should I prepare for a Crystal Lake remodeling consultation?
Send the property address, photographs of each affected room, the problems you want solved, any must-keep finishes, and whether the work may extend into adjacent spaces. That information helps distinguish a focused update from a multi-room or structural scope.
