Home repairs & remodeling in Addison

Home repair and remodeling in Addison

We work in Addison every week, coming in on I-290 and I-355 and using Lake Street, Route 53 and Army Trail Road to get around town. ONIT Solutions is a repair and remodeling contractor with one crew that handles framing, drywall, finishes and the plumbing and electrical a remodel touches. That means you are not juggling three trades and three schedules. One person is accountable for the whole job.

In Addison we fix doors, drywall, siding and pumps, paint inside and out, and remodel kitchens, baths and basements. You start with a free estimate at the house, and you get it in writing before anything is scheduled. If a job uncovers rot or a bad wire, we stop, show you, price the fix in writing and wait for your approval. When the work is done, we walk it with you.

Ranches, split-levels and busy corridors in Addison

Addison has plenty of ranch homes and split-levels on its residential streets, with industrial and commercial buildings along the main corridors. Each house style has its own habits. A split-level has short runs of wall between levels, and those half walls and stair openings take more drywall time than the square footage suggests. We estimate them that way so the number holds.

Ranch kitchens are often closed off by a wall the homeowner wants gone. Before we price an opening, we find out whether that wall carries the roof, because a bearing wall needs a beam, a permit and an inspection. In a split-level, the family room a few steps down can sit partly below grade, so it gets a moisture check before new flooring or drywall goes in. We raise those details at the estimate.

Permits and inspections in Addison

A lot of remodel work needs a permit, and Addison's building department sets the rules for what does. Moving a wall, adding a circuit, relocating plumbing, finishing a basement and building a deck usually fall in that group. We sort that out at the estimate and put it in writing. When a permit is needed, we pull it and schedule the inspections.

Inspections happen at set points, often before the walls close and again at the end. We plan the schedule around them so the crew is not standing still waiting. If an inspector asks for a change, we make it and tell you what it was. You end up with work that passed inspection and paperwork you can keep with the house.
