"We had a mudroom addition to our home that was constructed many years ago that was in very tired condition. Handyman Pros and their carpenter Ken, demoed the old addition and remodeled. The price was very competive as we had a few bids that were 2-3 times Handyman Pros price. The workmanship was excellent, the construction was timely and the finished products was great. We would highly recommend their services."

"We recently had our two main bathrooms remodeled by A P Builder (Owner is Angelo). We are totally thrilled with the end results of these projects. Angelo was involved in every phase of the project, many times offering valuable suggestions that we had not thought about. The work was done while paying attention to every detail, no matter how large or small. If and when there was a “glitch”, it was dealt with promptly and completely to our satisfaction. I would highly recommend Angelo and his company for future work at our home. Bravo to A.P. Builders and Angelo for a JOB WELL DONE!"

"Bob was super responsive in meeting with us and helping design the garage. They will make custom garages. We wanted a room built into our garage to shelter some feral cats we take care of, and they were willing to do that. They also installed a cat door that we purchased. They build good garages. Our old garage was falling apart, as are many others in the neighborhood. We wanted a garage that would last. All of the crew were highly-skilled and tremendously courteous. The quality of work at every stage was excellent: preparation of site, concrete pour, framing, roof, finishing/gutters. They took extra care to do things right. The job did take longer than expected. Part of that was due to issues with the site (excessive mud under the old garage that had to dry out and additional site preparation) but it seems the COVID pandemic generated a lot of home projects - we were in a work queue. Demolition started mid-September and garage was completed early January. (Our furnace guy had a similar situation with a different garage builder, so it wasn't just this company. We learned to be Zen about the timeline - it was less stressful that way.) In the end, we have a beautiful garage that should last for years. Very pleased."

"Brandon is the first contractor we have hired who showed up (early) was meticoulas with his craftsmanship AND did a beautiful job.

"We’re still in the planning stage with Icon and haven’t even broken ground yet, but we already have to leave a review because they’ve been that impressive. From day one, these guys have been on top of everything. They answer our questions fast, keep us in the loop, and actually listen to what we want. No runaround, no feeling like just another job on their list. The whole design process has been way easier than we expected. They walk you through everything step by step and give you tons of options to make the house truly yours. We came in not really knowing what to expect and they made it simple. Honestly, if the build goes half as smooth as everything has gone so far, we’re going to be thrilled. We can’t recommend Icon enough — these are good, hardworking people who take pride in what they do. Can’t wait to see our dream home come together!"

Barndominium Builders questions, answered by experts

The climate in IL significantly impacts a barndominium building project. Designs must account for heavy snow loads (25-30 PSF) and a 42-inch frost depth for foundations. High summer humidity necessitates robust vapor barriers and ventilation. Year-round wind exposure influences siding choices, while steep roof pitches and covered entries are essential adaptations for managing snow and protecting the structure from the elements.

Helpful?

Homeowners in McHenry, IL often underestimate key aspects of planning a barndominium building project. Site preparation and utility connection costs for rural lots are frequently higher than expected. Navigating agricultural zoning restrictions and setback requirements can also be complex. Additionally, the impact of weather delays on construction timelines and the lengthy permit processing times are commonly overlooked, leading to schedule extensions.

Helpful?

For a barndominium building project in McHenry, IL, durable materials are key. Pre-engineered steel framing and standing seam metal roofing are ideal for handling heavy snow loads. Concrete foundations must extend below the 42-inch frost line. To combat harsh winters, use high-performance windows and spray foam insulation meeting Illinois Energy Code requirements, along with a vapor barrier to manage summer humidity.

Helpful?

In McHenry, IL, a barndominium building project must balance function and style. Functionally, the structure must meet snow load capacities of 25-30 PSF and comply with agricultural zoning. Aesthetically, designs often incorporate board and batten or stone to preserve rural character. Layouts use open concepts with zoned heating and south-facing windows for passive solar gain, blending comfort with efficiency.

Helpful?

To ensure a smooth barndominium building project in McHenry, IL, start with pre-construction diligence. Verify zoning with the county's Planning & Development Department and conduct soil tests for septic systems. Plan for utility connections and secure all necessary building, septic, and driveway permits. Scheduling is also critical; aim to complete foundation work before the ground freezes to avoid significant seasonal delays.
