Home repairs & remodeling in Glen Ellyn

Plaster repaired so it disappears, rooms opened up the right way, and remodels done by one crew. We cover Glen Ellyn.

Remodeling and home repair in Glen Ellyn

Glen Ellyn is a town we cover for remodeling and repair work. Roosevelt Road and Route 53 bring us into the village, and Main Street runs us through downtown. ONIT Solutions has one crew for framing, drywall and plaster, finishes and the plumbing and electrical a job touches. You get one estimate and one person answering for it.

In Glen Ellyn we spend a lot of time on walls: plaster cracks, closed-up doorways, skim coating and paint. We also do kitchens, baths, basements, porches and decks. Every job starts with a free walkthrough and a written estimate, and nothing begins until you approve it. Changes get priced and signed off in writing before we do them.

Rolling streets, Lake Ellyn and the downtown in Glen Ellyn

Glen Ellyn is a DuPage County village with a walkable downtown on Main Street, a Metra station and Lake Ellyn a short walk from the center of town. The ground rolls more than most of DuPage, and the streets around the lake and downtown are lined with big trees. College of DuPage sits on the south side of the village.

On a rolling lot, a deck or front stoop rarely sits at a convenient height, so stairs, landings and railings take careful layout. Houses with porches and wood siding need regular paint and repair to stay tight. Inside, plaster and old trim are common, and we treat them as something to preserve, not something to rip out.

Plaster, drywall and paint in Glen Ellyn homes

Plaster walls crack along stress lines over doors and windows, and the fix is more than a dab of spackle. We cut back loose material, re-secure the plaster where it has let go of the lath, tape the crack and skim coat the area so it blends. Then we prime, so the paint dries evenly over old and new surfaces.

If you are opening up a room or closing an old doorway, we frame it, hang drywall and skim the joints to match the plaster around it. Dust containment goes up before we cut, and floors are covered from the door to the work area. When we leave, the wall looks like it was always there.

FAQ

Questions from Glen Ellyn homeowners

Do you serve towns near Glen Ellyn?
Yes. Wheaton, Lombard and Glendale Heights are all in our area, along with Glen Ellyn and a lot of towns beyond them.
Does the Village of Glen Ellyn require a permit to remove a wall?
Taking out a wall, especially one that carries load, usually needs a permit, and so do new plumbing and electrical. We check the wall, confirm what the village requires, pull the permit and schedule the inspections.
How does your estimate work?
We visit, look at the walls or the room, measure and send you a written estimate. It is free. The number for calls and texts is (815) 585-1750.
How long does plaster repair take?
It depends on how much wall is involved, since each skim coat has to dry before the next one goes on. We tell you the number of days in writing, and repairs can be same-day when the schedule allows.
Can you close up a doorway in a plaster wall without it showing?
Yes. We frame the opening, hang drywall flush with the plaster face, tape the seams and skim coat past the edges so the texture matches. After primer and paint, the old doorway should not show through.
