I work for you - the homeowner - to advise and assist you with your apartment and house renovation projects across Chicago's North Side and North Shore, including Evanston, Wilmette, Winnetka, and Glencoe. After 18+ years in construction, I transitioned my business to protect customers from shoddy repairs or overly costly renovations. My goal is to provide peace of mind and help you navigate one of life’s more aggravating experiences. Every space has the potential to be extraordinary - sometimes the simplest changes have enormous impact. I strive to create spaces that bring together thoughtful and efficient design not only in principle, but in practice. From simple kitchen or bath renovations to an entire home, I approach every project with a commitment to do what’s in the best interest of the customer, not the contractor.

Renovations can be a nightmare. Marriages have shattered because of never ending work, disrupted lives, and blown budgets. My role is to help prepare you before the renovations begin and to help prevent issues before they start.

Assist with vendors (i.e., negotiate contracts, payments-terms, insurance, etc.) however I maintain an ‘arm’s length’ relationship. If an issue arises I can review and quickly find a solution. Construction fees are $150 per hour.

on one corner it negatively impacts the remaining two corners.
