Welcome to Stress-Free and High-Quality Remodeling. A great remodeling experience doesn’t happen by accident—it starts with choosing the right company that offers excellence through expert project consultants, professional designers, dedicated project managers, master installers, on-time project completion, and a 3-year project warranty. Our smooth, simple, and innovative approach ensures that every step of your remodeling journey is enjoyable, fulfilling, and frustration-free. From design to management to installation—we do it right. No exceptions. If you're ready to successfully complete your kitchen, bathroom, basement, or home remodeling project, schedule your in-home consultation with one of our friendly team members at 847-809-3355.

"4Ever Remodeling put us on schedule even though we did own the house witch was huge advantage to us. Once the 4Ever Remodeling design team (Anna and Magda) put together design plans for our place we started selecting and ordering finished materials. The permit process took approximately 4 weeks and once we received it, 4Ever Remodeling was able to start the work within 2,5 weeks. Project manager was involved in the process for the beginning and he communicated with us promptly. We requested the same team that did the project on previous house and they were able to accommodate the request. Once the project got started, we were visiting our house on daily bases. What we saw was attention to details and the way they secured and protected our house. Plastic sheets, floor paper, wall barriers, zippers were used to minimize dust speeding and floor protection. Demolition was done within a week and they started electrical, plumbing and hvac. Project manager Mike was informing us every day what is happening and the progress. Building inspections were completed and they started drywalling and tile work. Tile guys Jack and Alex kept perfect lines and executed the design they way we envisioned. We were amazed the way carpenters Robert and Martin assembled all cabinets, fine cuts for crown moldings, door and trim installation. Painting was done by Vladimir and his helper which we don’t remember the name. The whole project took over 3 months and the results were delivered as expected. Hiring 4Ever Remodeling was not cheap but they way they operate and what that they offer was worth it: architect, design team, project manager, multiple people working on the project, high quality work, very good materials, and 3 year warranty. Keeping job side clean and safe was they top priority and the reason I’m saying that they didn’t allow us to enter working area without proper supervision and we respected that approach. We understood that safety of everyone working to the project is important. The final day of the project they scheduled final walk thur to go over the project and signed close out paper work. A week after the completion the 2 of dimmer switches weren’t working properly and they schedule electrician to replace them and now everything is working good and looks as we expected. Very good and solid remodeling company."

Install Stair Railings questions, answered by experts

Space deck handrail posts four to six feet apart. If the posts are more than six feet apart, the railing will be less able to withstand lateral forces and is more susceptible to breaking. Additionally, railing posts that are more than six feet apart may not be up to code, and you may face fines and be required to reinstall the posts to bring them up to code.

Whether or not any project is DIY-able depends on your personal level of handiness and willingness to extend time and effort. But in short, yes, you can install deck railing yourself if you have some basic skills. Certain types of deck railing, like cable or rope, are easier to install than wood or composite railing or more complicated types like sunburst railing.

Building a new staircase can take anywhere from a few days to a few weeks, depending on the complexity of the design, materials, and whether an old one needs to be demolished. Straight staircases are quicker to build than curved or spiral staircases, which require more intricate design and precise measurements.

Most building codes require handrails on stairways with four or more risers or individual steps. Handrails are not often required on a staircase with three or fewer steps, but local building codes or other regulations may still require them. Some homeowners also prefer handrails on three or fewer risers for comfort, insurance, or mobility reasons.

Many contractors offer staircase services, but you can also find stair companies that are dedicated exclusively to staircase installation and makeovers. If you’re planning a more elaborate design, search for reputable stair building contractors who will provide estimates, detailed project drawings, and superior finished products. You might pay a little more for this specialized labor, but it’s often worth the added investment.
