Home Repairs in Glen Ellyn

Home repairs in Glen Ellyn, plaster included

Think of repair work as everything short of a remodel. In Glen Ellyn that might mean a cracked wall, a door rubbing its jamb, a rotted corner board, a pump past its life and a shutoff that leaks the moment you turn it. Every one of those gets its own price, and the approved items are done together. Good photos of a few items usually let us price them by text, and a longer list calls for a visit and an itemized written estimate. Anything we uncover beyond the list gets a written price and sits untouched until you approve it.

We cover Glen Ellyn from Roosevelt Road and Route 53, and Main Street takes us through the downtown by the Metra station and up toward Lake Ellyn. The village sits in DuPage County between Wheaton and Lombard, and College of DuPage is here too. Where a house still has plaster walls, the repair has to suit the plaster: a crack that is only taped over comes back, so we secure loose plaster to the lath, bridge the crack, and skim it out until the wall reads flat again. Drywall repairs get the same care, with the patch feathered wide enough that paint does not show its edges.

How we work through a Glen Ellyn list

First we look, from your texted photos or in person, and then you get an estimate in writing with each repair broken out. Work is scheduled after you approve it. Plaster sometimes turns out looser than it looks, and when it does, we show you, price the extra area in writing and wait for your approval. We hang plastic to keep dust in the room, book around the days we said, and walk the finished work with you.
