We are a locally owned and operated basement finishing specialist servicing the Chicagoland area. Our focus is providing clients with a clear, upfront vision of expectations through a design/build approach. Our free design service provides potential customers with a collaborative consultation geared towards budget, wants, needs and lifestyle.

"Very organized. As a working parent in a household with small children, Matrix’s process was very smooth. Once permits were approved, building moved according to the quoted timeline. We appreciated the app that kept homeowners in the loop about who would be on site on a given day and what was being done. Project oversight was very good. Our project manager was very responsive to our questions/concerns and a helpful go-between with the sub-contractors and inspectors."

SERVING SOUTHERN WISCONSIN AND THE FOX VALLEY AREAS Kool View began business in 1973 selling glass coatings to save energy and stop furniture fading. In 1979 we were awarded a US. Department of Energy grant to study the "honeycomb" concept of window insulation. In 1982 we were granted a patent on our very own "Seal-A-Shade" product. We also began selling passive solar rooms. Over time passive solar sunrooms became our main product. We have built over 2000 sun room, patio room and room additions. Our construction focus has always been saving energy, improving the home environment and adding long term value to your home. If you have a unique design in mind or a challenging job site you have come to the right place! With with our trained staff of designers and craftsmen, Kool View is in the position to make your dream room an energy efficient reality.

"The final product is good and the price was good. The structure all seems to be high quality and with double pane windows it can hold the climate or out well as needed. With screens all around we can let the air move through when we want. The design process was a good experience, but we were not warned that our decisions in dimensions would result in difficulties with regulations and the electrical work. The lack of communication between sub-contractors during the process resulted in several delays. There were times when we were told there would be hand-off and it didn't happen until we prodded them. We kicked it off in the early spring and it didn't complete until August. Early on, the delays were unavoidable due to weather and ground conditions but after the foundation was in it took to long to complete the structure. The problem is not specifically the total time to complete but being left with very little time to replace the yard and driveway before winter."

Install Stair Railings questions, answered by experts

A handrail should start at the bottom step's riser and extend to the top riser, continuing slightly beyond both the top and bottom steps if possible. A good rule of thumb is from the nosing of the upper landing to the nosing of the lowest step. This extra length provides better grip and safety when entering or exiting the staircase.

Permit requirements for replacing stair railings vary by location. In many areas, minor repairs or replacements that don’t alter the structure do not require a permit. However, significant changes, especially those that affect structural integrity or involve major design alterations, often need a permit. Check with your local building authority to ensure you comply with any regulations.

Most homeowners prefer vinyl plank flooring to cover basement stairs, and this is generally considered the best option because it’s resistant to mold and won’t get damaged by moisture. However, carpeting is a more affordable installation and provides better traction to prevent slipping and falling. If you have kids or pets that will frequent the basement area, a carpet might be a better option to add some extra traction.

The same rules apply for decks and balconies. Balcony guardrails should also be at least 36 inches and up to 42 inches tall. Additionally, they should be able to support a certain amount of weight without collapsing—200 pounds of horizontal load or 100 pounds vertical load and 50 pounds horizontal load simultaneously. 

Spiral staircases can be installed outdoors using weather-resistant materials, such as galvanized steel, aluminum, or treated wood. Outdoor installations may require additional coatings or finishes to prevent rust and decay, and costs may be higher due to site prep and exposure to the elements. Outdoor staircases must also comply with local building codes, which can affect the dimensions, handrail requirements, and load capacities to guarantee safety in all weather conditions.
