"The contracted the work off to a third party. Jon took longer than expected. The windows was installed pretty good from the looks. Communication could have been better with knowing the job will take longer and what types of trims I wanted for the windows. As the contractor that was hired for this job by this company. Did a good job with putting up decent trim. As for the new windows they look great. I purchased the myself and hired sentri homes to install them. I will need to have a my siding on my house redone to be closer to the new windows so the gaps are not so obvious. That was not expected at first. But from old storm windows and not knowing how they were put in originally. There was some unknown things that was learned from the job being completed. I will have the siding of the house slightly done to match really good for what I wanted later on. My only concern is better communication with sentri homes. Overall they were great when I did talk to them."

My wife and I have used World Painting several times over the last four years in two different houses.  The most recent project was a complete makeover of the outside of our home.  We consulted with the World Painting staff on the design (two tones) and the proper colors to use.  We are very happy with the outcomes; both the appearance and the quality of workmanship.

"Ken is a skilled professional who is very respectful the homeowner and their property.  His work was very high quality, his price reasonable, and he was easy to work with.  I'm extremely pleased with the work Ken did and have already started my list of future projects.  Ken makes helpful suggestions, always cleans up before he goes home for the day, and is very knowledgeable about the kind of work he does.  I highly recommend Ken!!

"We hired SAL Construction to build us a garage in Morton.
All I can say is WOW!!! Nice, polite, honest, clean, punctual?My husband found
them on Google and after visiting their website we decided to give them a call.
They did everything they said and did a beautiful job right on budget! I recommended
them to my sister who needed a tile floor installed in her kitchen. Scott did
an amazing job on the tile as well. My sister was so pleased?Her & I both
would recommend SAL to everyone. Job well done!

"Quality contractors who take pride in their work are very hard to find, Especially if they are out-of-state. I live in California and this contractor is located in Illinois. Justin worked on a 3-bedroom, 2 bath rental home I own in Illinois. Justin installed a wrought iron hand railings on the front porch and also repaired cracked concrete. His personality matched his work ethics. Justin was professional and overall, was very easy to communicate with. he took pride in his work. It was truly a job well done. Thanks Justin!"

Home Building questions, answered by experts

Functional home building projects involve structural, electrical, or plumbing changes that demand permits, mandatory inspections, and licensed professionals. These functional upgrades are highly season-dependent, as contractors avoid pouring concrete during cold Springfield winters. Conversely, cosmetic updates like painting or flooring require no permits and happen year-round. However, exterior cosmetic changes in local historic districts demand a special approval process before work begins.

Helpful?

Look for diagonal wall cracks or sticking doors, which indicate active foundation movement in expansive IL clay soils. Older properties feature balloon-frame construction, knob-and-tube wiring, or crawl space foundations, requiring specialized upgrades during home building projects. Homes built before 1980 present asbestos or lead paint risks. Always hire certified specialists to safely manage these hazardous materials before starting any structural work on your property.

Helpful?

Expansive clay soils and flat lot topography create ongoing drainage challenges that complicate home building projects in Springfield. Properties with mature trees feature aggressive root systems that interfere with underground utility work. Additionally, older homes possess original clay tile sewer lines and galvanized steel pipes that demand full replacement. Finally, tight zoning setbacks and floodplain requirements force significant redesigns for additions or exterior structures.

Helpful?

Allowing downspouts to pool near your foundation accelerates structural movement in expansive IL clay soils, ruining recent home building work. Piling mulch against new siding traps moisture and degrades exterior materials. Inside, running whole-house humidifiers too high causes hidden condensation and rot. Always address small masonry cracks immediately, as freezing winter temperatures turn minor flaws into severe structural failures within a single season.

Helpful?

After finishing home building projects, schedule a final inspection to get your certificate of occupancy. You should also notify the county assessor about the improvements. Obtain a lien waiver from your contractor to protect your property. Monitor new concrete and masonry through the first Springfield winter for cracking. Finally, re-grade any disturbed landscaping before spring rains arrive to prevent drainage issues on your lot.
