RiteWay Construction is a boutique builder specializing in custom homes and high-quality additions. We’re intentionally selective, taking on only a few projects each year to provide the attention and craftsmanship your home deserves. Our clients value thoughtful design, clear communication, and a builder who listens. Whether you're expanding your space or starting from scratch, we’re here to create a beautiful, functional home that reflects your lifestyle. With RiteWay, you get more than a contractor—you get a trusted partner committed to doing it the right way, every step of the way.

"We contracted Riteway Construction 2021 to have an addition built to our house. The project was completed in 2022. They did a good job initially with procuring materials during COVID as well as getting most of the work done at that time. Jim has a lot of contacts which helped with procuring materials especially during COVID when materials were in shortage due to supply chain issues. One of the major issues during the project and even now after construction had been completed is communication. Throughout the project Jim was either super responsive or very hard to get in touch with. Since the project was finished, we have had issues with water leaks/damage. A few months after finishing the project we had some floor boards that needed to be replaced due to a water leak/unknown water damage, which was from earlier in the construction but never addressed. We tried to contact Jim for 1-1.5 months via text, calls and emails and were unsuccessful in getting touch with him."

Coast To Coast Masonry Group, Inc. provides top quality masonry restoration services to a variety of clients throughout the Chicago land area for over 23 years. We remain committed to the traditional values of client satisfaction that have earned a solid reputation in the masonry industry. Based on quality, time completion, excellent service, integrity and client satisfaction.

"VERY impressed with the work and overall professionalism of Coast to Coast. From the proposal/quote stage all the way through payment, everything was fully communicated, executed quickly, and delivered with the utmost attention to detail —probably 2-3 weeks from first contact to finished work. They fixed the tuck pointing on our very old, crumbling limestone foundation and installed 3 glass brick windows. Even rough areas I would've expected them to miss because I hadn't explicitly pointed them out were touched up. Would definitely use again in the future. THANKS"

"Neighborhood Remodelers did a bathroom renovation for us in 2020. Mike Cooper was the project manager. They also replace all of the trim on our second floor fast forward three years later where we replaced our upstairs flooring and came to find out that Neighborhood Remodelers used 3 inch trim and elevated on the wall to act like 5 inch trim. Extremely shady. We also came to find out that they buried an electrical box even though they told us that they wouldn’t do anything like that. extremely disappointed with this company. Please think long and hard before using them."

Home Building questions, answered by experts

Yes, a garage apartment is generally considered a valuable asset as long as the new structure has been legally built. It's important to weigh the cost to build a garage with an apartment against the cost to convert a garage to living space if you already have a garage.

Building a new home can be more expensive than buying an existing one, depending on the housing market in your area. Many homeowners still find that building a new house is worth the investment as they can choose the exact layout they want, as well as to choose their own floors, wall coverings, appliances, and finishes. If you live close enough to the build site, you can also stop by to check on the builder’s progress, which can provide some peace of mind that the project is worth it.

The national average cost of a building permit is about $1,600, but this number includes extensive renovations. Homeowners typically spend between $150 and $2,000 in general on one or multiple permits for their project. Conversely, permits for simple projects, such as minor electrical renovations, could cost as little as $10.

Most contractors aim for about a 20% profit on a job, leaving themselves room for unexpected expenses or delays. After accounting for materials, labor, and insurance, the profit margin for most contractors is between 10% and 20%. Fluctuating costs of materials and labor affect the ultimate percentage.

You can’t add home addition costs to an existing mortgage, but you can include them in a new mortgage if you take out a rehab loan. Rehab loans—FHA-backed 203k loans and conventional rehab loans—are for more than the value of a property, and the excess is meant to cover the cost of a renovation or home addition.
