We are a full service commercial and residential Junk and Debris removal service. We are based on the Northwest Side of Chicago. We are large enough to handle any job but, small enough to care. We take pride in the fact that we are able to Recycle 88% of the items we collect. That means less items going to fill up the garbage dump. A true green alternative to our larger competitors. Our company is 100% insured including workers compensation. Most other junk haulers/contractors don't have the coverage we carry.

"The staff from Great Junk Remove made it easy to clean out a garage to put the house on the market. Renee was friendly and very informative on the phone. The guys who came to remove the junk were strong, friendly and efficient."

I am an Interior Designer with more than 20 years of experience in Residential, Commercial, and Model Home interiors. Whether my clients need help choosing a new paint color, or a complete reworking of interior spaces and styles, I strive to listen well, understand their needs and bring together all the elements necessary to give them the look they will love. I firmly believe that for any design decision to be a good one, it needs to 1) look fantastic 2) be completely functional, and 3) be a great price. These are the factors that make any purchase a great value, and I strive to give my clients the best value possible. I love what I do, and have a passion to help my clients obtain the interiors they dream of, for a price they can afford. The scope of my services range from complete home remodeling, to a quick freshen-up for a single room. I've also branched out into staging for those who are intending to sell their homes, and with more than 15 years experience in the model home industry, I have unique skills and perspectives for marketing homes for quick and profitable sales. Specialties: Passed NCIDQ exams in 1989, and became a professional member of ASID.

I recommend her highly!"

Mission 2 Organize LLC is not your typical organizing service. Two professional organizers work together to tackle your biggest projects. This means we can get twice as much done in the same amount of time as other organizers. Beyond that, M2O offers more than just home and office organizing and de-cluttering. Our Urban Organizers will pack and unpack for your next move. Are you selling your home? Let us stage it for a quick and lucrative sale. We can even help you pack up items to send to storage.

"If Mission 2 Organize is on a mission to change lives, then consider it ‘Mission: Accomplished’ (for me at least, and for everyone I have already referred them to)! Which is why I am here: to yell my praises from digital mountain tops! I was (very generously) gifted an early Christmas present from my mom of a full day/organizing session with M2O… AND IT WAS THE BEST GIFT I EVER RECEIVED! It is truly the gift that keeps on giving. **Hint hint, people- Christmas is less than 3 weeks away, if you are struggling for ideas. ;-) Schae and Britney were spectacular! They rolled into my place like two boss ladies ready to get down to business (but not in a scary way lol)! They put on a fun playlist and took charge, which is what I like and needed. They let me help (obviously not required, but desired on my part to learn) and taught me helpful tips and tricks along the way to maintain the organization. Best of all, they knew how to prioritize my projects in the order that made most sense, and maximized efficiency and my time with them. Not a minute wasted and no stone (aka leftover crap I didn’t need anymore) left unturned! AND, like, how helpful and convenient it is that they haul away as many donations for you as they can when they leave?! At the end of the day (literally), I had the best nights sleep that I’d had in years, knowing that there was (finally!) a place for everything and everything in its place. Not only did M2O grant me peace of mind, they motivated me to keep going and see what I can accomplish on my own with what I learned from them. And the productivity levels on all the DIY projects I’ve set aside over the years are through the roof! My home is, now, finally the way I want and need it to be- it is first and foremost, my sanctuary. Thanks to M2O! But don’t worry, I would never claim to be a ‘Master Organizer’ like them though- there are still some projects that seem just too overwhelming to undertake myself…like where do I even start?! SO, I’ve already booked my next session with them. Can’t wait for Round 2!"

Hey, I'm Lance! I became a professional online portrait artist in 2006 after my family was taken from me in a tornado losing my mother, father, brother, and son. Twenty-eight lives were taken as well as all their possessions, like mine. I drew from destroyed photos their families so they could have memorial portraits of them at the funerals and for the rest of time. Since then I have made a living traveling the country doing shows and drawing from photos you email me on line. There is NO GIFT more unique that brings more tears of joy to a loved one's eyes like one of these. Nothing. I've seen it time and time again. I make it affordable to anyone who's ever wanted one of these. Paintings with half the detail of these can cost upwards of $30,000 limiting something like this from hanging in living rooms for families to the rich only. Not anymore. Here's how it works.. Simply email me your favorite picture or pictures to [email protected] with a brief description of what you would like done. The bigger and clearer the picture the better the drawing. I will start an initial sketch right away and take pictures of it and show it to you. Please email them quickly if possible, because the holidays are coming and I get busy. Once the initial sketch is done. I usually take something down on it. It's a lot of work doing the initial sketch. This varies on the cost of the drawing which we will discuss right away. Drawings are usually 175 for 9x12's 225 for 11x14's 275 for 14x17's After this process is done I continue with your art piece sending you photos on line all the way through which many people find a lot of fun. I am also friends on Facebook with almost every person I've ever drawn for as well and would like to be your friend as well if you would like that. I post them on FB at your discretion. It makes me way more legit to people as well. The Prices vary with the art because of the size of the drawing as well as the number of faces. The number of faces DOES NOT double the cost. Usually an extra face is added depending on the size from anywhere between 25 and 50, but I do deals on these more than anything, so please call me about it at .(850) 691-3976

Home Staging questions, answered by experts

The services offered by home staging companies vary, but revolve around the purpose of setting up a house with aesthetic furniture and home decor to entice potential home buyers. Home stagers offer a wide range of services, and you can expect to pay for each additional one. 

Some of the most common home staging services include: 

  • Color design

  • Planning each room design

  • Rearranging furniture

  • Decluttering and organizing

  • Repairs to visible areas

  • Creating ambiance with lighting, artwork, accessories, and home decor

  • Choosing rental furniture items

While LVP won’t increase home value as much as engineered hardwood, it can increase the value somewhat because it creates a warm and inviting aesthetic. It’s also durable and waterproof, so it can be appealing to homebuyers with pets and children. LVP is very low-maintenance, so that can also appeal to homebuyers who don’t want to spend a lot of time keeping up with an engineered or solid hardwood floor.

Redfin reported in 2021 that homes with fireplaces were listed on the market for around 13% more than the national median sale price, but this doesn’t mean that they actually sold for that much. While homebuyer demand reigns supreme, the actual ROI on a fireplace depends on various factors, including size, type, and material.

Staging helps homes sell faster and often at higher prices by creating an inviting, well-designed space.

The main difference between a home stager and an interior designer is that the former creates temporary, generally appealing spaces, while the latter creates personalized design choices for your permanent home. A home stager seeks to depersonalize your home while also showing off the best features of the home to potential buyers. An interior designer works with you to infuse your personal style into the decor in your home. You’ll typically only hire a local home stager when selling your home.
