We build, remodel, modify, paint, repair, kitchens, bathrooms, flooring, decks, cabinets and more. My crew and I will complete just about any home improvement or maintenance project at rates that fit into just about any budget. We have earned over 200 Five Star Reviews.The table at the bottom of this page shows most of our carpentry, painting, electrical, plumbing and maintenance services. We go beyond traditional services in providing 24/7 emergency cleanup and repairs for Chicago's North Side and Shore. No job is too small or too large for us.

"In July of 2022 we hired Gorman Restoration to refinish our front door. The carpenter stripped the old, wood veneer and replaced it with new veneer that was then stained a beautiful dark walnut. Unfortunately, in less than a year the veneer began to peel off. I contacted the owner, Lucky and he honored the warranty. The door was redone at no cost and it looks better than before. Also, the carpenter was able strip the veneer and then showed me that the wood underneath was in excellent condition, so he stained the wood without adding the veneer. So much better and without the worries of the veneer peeling off due to heat and moisture. I highly recommend this company."

"Above and Beyond Construction recently completed an almost whole-house renovation including a family room addition, a fully remodeled kitchen, relocated stairways, three bathrooms, and a finished basement. The addition seamlessly blends with the original spaces, making it feel like a natural extension of my home. The work is detailed and outstanding to the point that visitors do not know where the original 1911 house ends and the 2024 house begins. The highly skilled craftsmen matched the woodwork details of the original house to the new addition perfectly. Chester is easy to work with, has a positive outlook, and a good sense of humor.

Basement Remodel questions, answered by experts

You should always use high-quality lumber for your framing in order to ensure it will last the test of time and resist moisture. Use 2-foot by 4-foot lumber that is pressure-treated for your framing.

Renovations that add functionality or more comfortable floor space generally add the most value when remodeling your home. Attic or basement finishing can add floor space without altering the home's structure, saving you renovation money while adding valuable space. Smaller improvements, such as installing smart-home components or replacing entry doors and windows, also experience high ROIs. 

If you’re not sure which method of raising the ceiling is best for you, here are a couple of considerations to help you make that decision. A professional ceiling company will be able to help you determine the best option for your home.

  • How long you are planning to live there: although raising the basement ceiling will increase the value of your home, if you’re planning to sell the house, then go for raising the house.

  • The condition of the foundation: to lower the floors, your foundation has to be intact whereas raising the house will allow you to restore the damaged foundation.

Envision the type of bar experience you'd like to create for your guests. For example:

  • Does your basement have enough finished space for bar stools or seating?

  • What type of additional lighting would set the tone for the room?

  • Are there basement windows or an HVAC system?

  • Do you need new plumbing in your basement for a proper wet bar?

  • Could you be happy with a built-in wall cabinet bar rather than a full-scale wet bar?

In addition to overseeing new home builds, construction managers work on large renovations and major remodels. For example, they may work with designers and oversee the construction of a finished basement, kitchen renovation, or a home addition. They may also oversee large-scale remodels, such as the update of a historic home. Construction managers step into small projects for more specific assistance, such as building budgets and compiling the team.
