Home repairs & remodeling in Western Springs

Carpentry, paint and remodels in Western Springs

We cover Western Springs every week, and it is a standing stop on our route. I-294 and Ogden Avenue get us to town, then Wolf Road and 55th Street get us to the house. ONIT Solutions is a contractor for repairs and remodels in Cook County, with a crew that handles carpentry, drywall, paint, tile and the plumbing and electrical a remodel touches. You get one company for the whole list.

A repair list is a good place to start. Write down everything that bugs you about the house, from a toilet that runs to a storm door that will not close, and we price each item on its own line. You pick what to do now and what can wait. We do the work in one visit when the list allows, and we leave the rooms cleaner than we found them.

Tree-lined streets near the Metra in Western Springs

Western Springs is a compact village centered on its Metra station, with mature trees over most of its streets. Those trees are a big part of the town's look, and they are also hard on a house. Shade keeps north-facing siding and trim damp, which is where paint peels first and wood starts to soften. Leaves fill gutters, and the overflow soaks the fascia and the soffit behind it.

Before we paint an exterior here, we probe the trim and replace anything soft instead of painting over it. We scrape to sound paint, prime bare wood, and caulk the joints that let water in. Exterior painting runs spring to fall, so the earlier you get on the list, the more of the season you have to choose from. Inside, the same prep standard applies to every wall we paint.

Working through a Western Springs repair list

A repair list usually mixes trades: a door that drags, a hole in the drywall, cracked grout in the shower, a wobbly toilet, a soft deck board. Our crew handles all of those, so the list does not get split between three companies. We price each line on the written estimate and tell you which ones should not wait.

For a single urgent repair, text a photo and we will give you a fast read on what it needs. Same-day is possible when the schedule allows. Sump and ejector pumps, leaking faucets and failed caulk around a tub get worse the longer they sit, so we flag those first.
