Home Repairs in Western Springs

Western Springs home repairs, in the right order

A repair list gets done faster when someone sorts it first. We look at your list, put the safety and water items at the top, and work down from there through drywall, doors, trim, pumps, caulk, grout, deck boards and fixtures. Short lists can often be priced from photos. Long lists get a visit and a written estimate, item by item, and anything we find that you did not list gets priced before we touch it.

We get to Western Springs on I-294 and work along Ogden Avenue, Wolf Road and 55th Street, around downtown and the Metra station, with Hinsdale on one side and La Grange on the other. Two kinds of repairs get worse while they wait: anything that leaks and anything someone can trip on. A toilet that weeps at the base rots the subfloor under it, and a loose stair tread or a wobbly railing is how people get hurt. So when we sort a Western Springs list, those go first, and cosmetic items like nail pops and dinged trim follow.

Western Springs repairs, safety items first

How we work through the list

You send the list, and we price it from photos or from a free visit, in writing either way. We mark which items we would do first and why, and you decide the order. If pulling a toilet or a tread shows rot underneath, we price the fix and wait for your okay. We book the days, protect the floors, and finish by checking every item with you.

• Safety and water items flagged first
• You set the order and the scope
• A written price on each repair
• Rot underneath priced before it is repaired
• Floors protected and areas left clean
• Every item checked with you at the end
