While we build

How we protect your home while we work.

Floors and pathways covered

Protective board and runners go down before the first tool comes in, from the entry to the work zone.

Dust stays in the work zone

Plastic containment walls and sealed vents keep the rest of the house livable during demo and sanding.

The same crew, every day

One in-house team from demo to final walkthrough. You learn our names, no rotating subcontractors in your home.

Clean end to every day

Tools stored, site swept, walkways clear. You should never dread coming home during a remodel.

Licensed and insured on every job

Full licensing and insurance certificates shown before work starts, not after you ask twice.

Nothing is done until you agree it is

A final walkthrough together, punch list closed out, and a 2-Year Workmanship Warranty in writing.

Your first step

What happens after you reach out.

  1. You reach out

    Send the form or call (224) 284-4533. A real person from the crew - not a call center - gets back to you within one business day.

  2. Free in-home visit

    We walk the space together, take measurements and talk through what you actually want. No fees, no pressure, no obligation.

  3. Written estimate in 48 hours

    A detailed, itemized estimate in writing within 48 hours of the visit - so you can compare it line by line against any other bid.

  4. You decide on your own time

    No follow-up hammering, no expiring discounts. When you are ready, the same in-house crew that quoted it builds it - backed by a 2-year workmanship warranty.

Before you ask

Five questions every living room client asks first.

Plain answers — the kind we'd give a neighbor over coffee, not the ones written for a brochure.

Have a different question? Ask during your free estimate →
  • How much does a living room remodel cost?

    It depends on scope more than any other room — a fireplace feature wall with new floors is a very different project from a full open-concept rebuild with built-ins. That's why we don't publish a one-size range: you get an itemized written estimate within 48 hours of the free in-home visit, line by line.

  • How long does it take?

    Most living room projects run 2–4 weeks: feature wall, built-ins, flooring, lighting and paint. Structural changes (removing a wall, vaulting a ceiling) add engineering and inspection time — the written schedule covers it before we start.

  • Can you open the living room up to the kitchen?

    Yes — that's one of our most common structural projects. We handle the engineering, the permit, and the properly sized beam. The 'one big room' layout is usually more achievable than homeowners expect.

  • Will the rest of the house be livable during the work?

    Yes. Plastic containment around the work zone, floor protection from the front door in, and a clean sweep at the end of every day. Most clients are surprised how contained it stays.

  • Who actually does the work?

    The same ADS in-house crew, start to finish — framing, electrical, millwork, floors and paint. No rotating subcontractors, and a 2-Year Workmanship Warranty in writing on everything we build.
