Furniture & Equipment Assembly (indoor and outdoor). Hanging: Stuff, not people, OK? Have Tools, Will Travel. We specialize in RTA (Ready-To-Assemble) furniture: All major brands; IKEA, Sauder, Bush, West Elm, South Shore, All the lines carried by Walmart, Target, etc, and the on-line companies; Amazon, Wayfair, Overstock, etc. We also assemble fitness equipment, outdoor playsets and storage sheds (assemble a Shed from a kit--Yes, build a shed from uncut lumber, not so much). We can also do disassembly & reassembly for moves within the greater Chicago area. Certificate of Insurance, or being listed as Additional Named Insured, available upon request. In 2015, we added picture hanging, mirror installation, and art installation as a service for our customers due to demand. We travel with specialty hooks, d-rings, lightweight picture wire, heavyweight (100 LBs rated) wire, and some aircraft-grade wire-rope rated at over 1,000 LBS. We do not charge for the small hooks, or for placing wire on the backside of lightweight frames. Artwork from IKEA, or on-line vendors often has no hardware at all on the backside. We have specialty levels, and we use the Yellow Frog Brand tape (delicate) to place our marks on walls. We also work with heavy wall items (i.e. large mirrors, wall sculptures, floating shelves, wine-racks, and the assorted DIY wall-mount garage and closet storage systems). We still mount Flatscreen Televisions every now and then.

"Really great. I believe some paintings did not need drilling holes in the wall but its done."

Services provided Drake provides both residential and commercial services. We decorate many of Chicago’s high end neighborhoods but no job is too small. We also provide services to many commercial customers completing interiors and exteriors for McDonald’s, Burger King’s, Enterprise car rentals, hotels, restaurants, Doctors offices, Country Clubs, Associations, and Dentist offices, to name only a few. Interior Drake carries out all manner of drywall and plaster repair. We strip wallpaper, remove paneling, remove unwanted woodwork and perform full preparation to all surfaces prior to painting or paper hanging. We help with color selections and will paint sample boards for our customers. We do a wide range of faux finishes and have display boards to help with selection. We hang all manner of wall coverings and all fifty-four inch vinyl goods. We also install decorative trim such as crown moldings, chair rails, casings, frame moldings, and baseboards. We paint all surfaces including walls, ceilings, woodwork, metal work and floorings. Our capabilities include spray painting kitchen and bathroom cabinets for a fresh new look without you having to replace them. Exterior Full preparation is a must for a quality exterior job. Washing is important for a clean surface but does not replace the hard work of scraping and sanding. We paint and stain all wood exteriors as well as priming and painting of vinyl and metal surfaces. We have also carried out a variety of jobs such as painting hopscotch and four square courts for schools and painting signs for businesses. We have no issue with two or three story homes and buildings. We clean and refurbish decking and will stain and seal your deck to make it look like new.

"Drake was hired to strip and refinish painted exterior railings on a deck in the Fall of 2024. While the ?finished? railings looked good in the short term on inspection for payment, the workmanship did not hold up and the paint has been falling off and chipping in huge chunks. What is easy to understand is that paint hides a lot of shoddy work. I wish I would been more experienced and realized that this could be done so poorly. I do not think they actually stripped and primed the railings before just slathering a heavy vat of paint over the old paint."

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.

"I hired Mission 2 Organize to help organize my garage which was a total mess. They helped organize efficiently, took away lots of bags of things to donate as well as bags of trash. They put labels on everything so that we could create systems that would last. I had them return again to do my kitchen! With 3 small kids it has been hard to adjust to changing needs (from twin babies to toddlers to older toddler) so we had a variety of kid items that needed sorting. Again, they set up things that would work for us long term and it has helped us maintain it and generally keep our kitchen itself much cleaner! The team is very friendly, arrive on time, and also offer helpful suggestions like organizing products to purchase (not from them either, it's just helpful tips). I am already planning the next package we will purchase to have them help organize our home."

Design Invention, Inc provides general contracting services to the greater Chicagoland area.We specialize in kitchen & baths as well as basement remodel. Our team includes licensed plumbers and electricians who are subcontracted for all major work. Contact us today to discuss other services we provide.We are extremely dedicated to our customers needs and would love to hear from you!

"We hired Design Invention to remodel an outdated Master Bathroom. We contacted a total of 6 contractors to get estimates on the work. We found that most of the estimates fell into one of two categories. Some contractors were pushing us towards specific design choices beyond what we originally wanted. These contractor were all the most expensive and were insistent on making the material choices through their suppliers. The other set of contractors provided little feedback on suggestions on what to do or not do. They seemed to be ready to come in do the work and get paid. The thing we found with Peter was that he was the only contractor we contacted who understood what we wanted but also was willing to make useful suggestions on things we had not considered and at a cost that would not push our job way over our budget. Peter also was very flexible with letting us pick our own materials and contacted us to his suppliers for contractor discount. In the end, we used a combination of material from Peter's suppliers, Home Depot, and Amazon. Overall, Peter was always very mindful of costs related to material and additional work and was never pushy to force us to pick one option over another. After agreeing to his estimate, it took about 3 months to get on his schedule to do the work. Once the work started, it took about 2 weeks to complete which was within scope of Peter's estimate when we discussed the work. Each day at least one worker would come and make progress. On some days (demolition, install tub, etc), additional workers came but overall there was never any day that progress was not being made. In addition to the main worker, there were specialist that came in for various parts of the job (tile person, plumbers, shower glass, granite countertop). All of them seemed to be professional and took care to clean up and minimize the mess. Overall, we were very satisfied with the remodel. There were a few minor issues but Peter was very responsive in getting them resolved. We found working with Peter a very good experience. He was knowledgeable, offered good suggestions, was mindful of costs, and very responsive. We will keep Design Invention in mind for remodels of our other bathrooms and kitchen in the future."

Closets questions, answered by experts

How many days it takes to remodel a closet will also depend on the scale of the project. Small changes like installing a prefab kit will eat up an afternoon and no more, while a total renovation could require several days to a week. If you’re planning for the latter, plan to secure other sleeping arrangements while construction is ongoing.

A "reach-in pantry" is a smaller, cabinet-style pantry that allows you to grab items by simply reaching inside. On the other hand, a "walk-in pantry" is like a closet or small room that offers a larger space that you can physically enter to get your food. Walk-in pantries allow for more customizable shelving. A reach-in pantry is usually around 5 feet wide by 2 feet deep, while a walk-in pantry is closer to 5 feet by 5 feet or larger.

Yes, many providers offer design consultations to optimize space and functionality. Confirm with your contractor.

If you have a bathroom closet with movable shelves, you can place them at virtually any spacing that works for you. Useful measurements between shelves in the working, or middle, section can be 10 to 16 inches for towels or linens. Lower or higher shelving could be up to 24 inches between shelves to store lesser-used or bulky items or boxes. 

Different types of closets are defined mostly by size. A few different types of closets include:

  • A reach-in closet is a smaller closet that you can stand in front of and reach everything inside it. Aside from the size, the doors and the level of drywall finish are typically the largest price factors.  

  • A walk-in closet can be anything from a small 5-by-5 feet closet that has a narrow walkway with shelves on both sides to a 100 square foot bedroom-sized closet with shelving along the walls and plenty of room to move around in.

  • A built-in wardrobe often does not have a door and leaves the clothes and other contents open to the room, whereas a closet usually has a door to separate it from the rest of the room.
