"I have a metal framed awing over my patio with a canvas cover. It is like the kind that you would see at a bar or restaurant. Thomas and his crew have been helping me for years now, installing the cover in the spring and taking it down in the fall. They have been great to work with. Very timely and professional."

"Mike installed some crown molding that we had purchased from someone who was remodeling their approx. 100-year old house that matched very closely to the molding we already had in other rooms in our house (also around 100-years old). Mike did an incredible job - it looks better than what we had expected. It looks like it's been there since the house was built, which is exactly what we were looking for. We highly recommend Mike - he was very easy to work with, very communicative, and very skilled at what he does!"

"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 needed a new closet system for our master bedroom. We had originally engaged with two well known national providers. Not only was the quote about 30% less, but the entire experience was great. Our salesperson/project manager (Zach) was awesome. As were the installers. The overall quality, level of detail, coordination, communication and professionalism were first class. The results were beyond our expectations and their commitment to total customer satisfaction was truly felt throughout the project. We highly recommend Chicagoland Home Products."

"It went perfectly. Ivan and his team delivered what he said and it turned out better than we expected. He didn’t cut corners and made suggestions to make it better. We had a unique project. We had a deck above our front door rebuilt but the contractor did not finish the work underneath. We needed a ceiling put in, trim and a wood-box outline to complete the look. He also painted it. It was a two day project. They cleaned up nicely. Up to the start date, Ivan would text me with updates as to where we were on his list. I appreciated the constant contact."

"Last year I hired a company who advertised themselves as "budget". I got what I paid for and actually was overcharged for terrible work. This year I hired Quinlan. The owner came out and looked at what needed to be done before giving me a quote. On the day the work was done, he came out with the crew to make sure things were going well. They did an excellent job of rebuilding my doorway and installing a new door-which is now airtight, properly caulked and weather stripped."

"Flaviu is a true master carpenter. Very meticulous in every step in the construction of my new stair wells. Very customer oriented. My entryway is now a show piece. During the construction I also came to know him as a friend. I would recommend him for any project you have."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

A few signs that you need a new door frame include:

  • The door no longer fits properly in its frame and sticks or scrapes.

  • You notice cracks, holes, or rotting.

  • You feel a draft coming from around the door when it’s closed.

  • You find yourself frequently needing to make repairs.

Joists do distribute their load to beams, but they don’t sit on top of the beams. Instead, home builders nail or screw the joists directly to the beams such that the end of the joist butts up against the edge of the beam. Beams can sit on other beams for support, but you’ll never see a joist sitting on top of a beam or another joist.

Modern brick houses are really stick-built homes with a brick facade for aesthetic purposes only, so most have framing. With genuine brick construction, most homeowners install furring strips over the interior of the brick and then install drywall over those strips to cover the brick wall, so they don’t have traditional framing.

Installing a tongue-and-groove wall requires similar techniques to those associated with installing shiplap. However, because of the precision necessary to make each board fit perfectly and the increased material prices, the cost is higher than that of shiplap installations. Expect to spend between $2 and $6 more per square foot for tongue-and-groove walls versus shiplap ones.

Framing a house with steel generally takes less time—around five to eight weeks—than most building materials. The steel components can also be made quickly off-site and manufactured with pre-punched holes for running piping and electrical wiring, which will lessen the prep work and extra labor during construction.
