I am a 1 man band home remodeler, plumber, and carpenter who moonlights as a handyman. My company is fully licensed and insured and comes with a complete list of glowing references. I have been in the business for almost 15 years and am a second generation contractor. I basically grew up with a wrench in one hand and a plunger in the other. My reputation is stellar and customer satisfaction is my number one priority. My work includes painting (interior and exterior), drywall (mudding, sanding, and taping), cabinet installation, tile floor installation, electrical work, most plumbing work (soldering pipes, shower, toilet, tub, sink piping, etc), minor HVAC work, countertop installation, replace/install doors (closet, bedroom, front entrances), wall removal and additions, carpet removal and installation, hard wood floor removal and installation, and hardwood floor refinishing/staining. I have done both commercial and residential jobs ranging from complete remodels of homes to touching up paint in a small walk-in closet. I rarely turn down jobs because if I can't do a job myself, I have an extensive network of colleagues who can. I will usually do the work myself, but for larger jobs I enlist a crew of qualified individuals who will help me complete the work quickly and efficiently. I generally only ask for 30% up front depending on the size of the job, and don't accept final payment until my customer is COMPLETELY SATISFIED with the work I have done unless major materials (stove, fridge, etc) are required. All of my work is accompanied by a 1 year warranty. Prior to beginning work, I provide a detailed quote in writing that is signed by myself and the customer so there is no confusion over what will be charged. My pricing is competitive and honest. My quotes are binding and there are no scams or hidden costs. While I live in Schaumburg, I regularly travel to the city and surrounding areas for work. I am not afraid of hard work or a challenge and am willing to work with you to help fix or create your dream home. This is not a side job for me, it is MY LIFE'S WORK. I take pride in what I do and feel that I was born to do it. Mostly, I love transforming something that is run down and old into something new and beautiful. Give me a chance to prove myself and I promise you will not be disappointed. I am available for work immediately. Lee Hess 1 Guy Fixes All Home Improvements 847-873-3396

FAQs for foundation repair projects in Chicago, IL

If foundation problems are not fixed, not only do repairs eventually become very costly, but it can lead to structural damage to the house above. Eventually, if the foundation problems are allowed to persist, the foundation walls can cave in or collapse. That’s after other issues like flooding and mold have likely been allowed to develop. Although not all cracks are structural problems, some can be and even if they start out small, they can develop into major problems. The earlier foundation problems are discovered and fixed, the lower the cost to repair will likely be.

Yes, foundation repairs are worth the cost at any stage to avoid a dangerous living condition. A failed foundation can lower the value of your home by up to 20%. Whether it’s the smallest problem like a thin crack less than ⅛-inch wide, a horizontal crack, a crack letting water flow through, or a wall bowing inward, repairing foundation problems as soon as possible is worth the cost. Sometimes a temporary fix can be applied until you have the budget to completely fix the problem, but the longer the problems persist, the more costly repairs may be.

The most common first signs of foundation issues include: 

  • Cracks in the foundation walls that grow

  • Signs of moisture or water leaking through cracks in the foundation

  • Standing water in the basement

  • Sagging floors or walls

  • Cracked walls in upper floors

  • Doors and windows that don’t close properly anymore

Foundation repairs cost about $5,000, on average. Typically, prices range from $2,200 to $7,800, depending on the type and extent of repairs needed. Cost factors include foundation type, home size, soil stability, accessibility, and the ultimate cause of the problem and what methods and materials are required to fix it.

If you’re noticing signs of foundation issues, the first step to fixing a foundation problem is to hire a foundation repair inspector. They will determine the problem, the cause, and the severity before recommending a course of action to repair the foundation. The method for fixing foundation problems depends on the problem and what options are available. A few possible solutions include:

  • Epoxy injections

  • Mudjacking

  • Piers made of steel or concrete

  • Jacks 

  • Hydraulic piers

  • Carbon or steel reinforcement strips

  • Waterproofing materials
