"This was an excellent experience from start to finish. They contacted me immediately and scheduled an appointment to come out and look at what I was looking to do. After understanding my needs they created a design suggestion and I loved it, they sent me the design and price quote and once I signed off on it they contacted me to schedule the installation. They kept in contact with me, sent me the installers name and my installers showed up on time, was done in 45 minutes, they completely cleaned up and were very professional, polite and easy to work with. I was very happy and I would highly recommend them."

"We recently had the pleasure of working with Chicagoland Home Products, and the experience exceeded my expectations in every way. The company demonstrated an unparalleled level of customer service, taking the time to measure out all the blinds we wanted for installation meticulously. Their attention to detail and commitment to ensuring a perfect fit was awe-inspiring. The installer arrived punctually on installation day and executed the job with remarkable skill and precision. The quality of work was evident, and I was particularly impressed by the meticulous cleanup afterward. Chicagoland Home Products takes pride in delivering not only exceptional products but also a seamless and professional installation process. I wholeheartedly recommend Chicagoland Home Products to anyone looking to update their closets and blinds. The combination of outstanding customer service, attention to detail, and top-notch installation makes them stand out in their field. My experience with this company has been nothing short of fantastic, and I'm confident that others will find their services as exceptional as I did."

"This pro did a great job! They completely renovated our 99 year old home. They tore out and replaced everything inside, HVAC, plumbing, electrical and even the old, out of code wall studs that were discovered when the walls were taken out. They replaced all doors and windows as well to give a seamless look inside and out. They also added needed accessibility features. Outside, Imperial 1 replaced siding on the back porch and garage, replaced the garage roof, replaced a sagging sidewalk, and cleaned up the exterior bricks. They worked with our lender's consultant, appraisers, inspectors and the village building department to give us a beautiful new home on time and within budget. The owner was in contact throughout the process and continues to answer questions as they come up. The owner is honest and trustworthy. I highly recommend this pro."

"Willie was more than the professional we needed. As General Contractor's we often use these services to repair our wrought iron fences. Also, this contractor offers fabrication for metal and fence installation. We're continuing our relationship of services with this contractor for our properties large and small. Thanks Willie."

"Extremely pleased with the basement remodel. KSRP team was helpful, responsive and professional. Work included: framing, windows, drywall, electrical, lighting, flooring and painting. Not one complaint. Job price was really good and would have paid more based on what was ultimately delivered. I recommend working with KSRP."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Costs depend on desk size, labor, included features like drawers or motorized height adjustments, and required wall anchoring.

One of the most common house framing basics for decades has been using wood for the framing work. However, some framing contractors now suggest using steel frames. Steel is lightweight, resistant to fire, and resistant to moisture, all of which are areas where wood framing could cause problems. However, steel framing is more expensive than wood and limits your ability to insulate the home.

Yes, walls on the top floor can be load-bearing if stacked on the floor’s foundation.

The easiest way to tell if a wall is load bearing is to check if it’s an exterior wall or if it runs perpendicular to the joists above and below it (or parallel to beams). Exterior walls are almost always load-bearing, and walls that run under beams or parallel to them are also usually load-bearing. There are exceptions to these rules, and walls that don’t fit into these categories can still be load-bearing. If you’re unsure, hire a structural engineer to look at your home to assess whether or not the wall is structural.

Framing a basement takes three to five days, on average, when completed by a professional, though it may take longer for a larger space. Keep in mind this doesn’t include the time to complete the design, obtain permits, and install the drywall on the framing. On average, fully finishing a basement takes an average of 45 days.
