Frequently asked questions about renovating in Chicago
Block Renovation is extremely selective with the contractors we allow to bid on Chicago home remodeling projects. Every new applicant undergoes a prudent evaluation, clearing a high bar for both technical and people skills. This process includes: - An inspection of recently completed Chicago remodeling endeavors. - Phone conversations with our team in which we determine their ability to project manage and connect with future clients. - A thorough vetting of past reviews, any criminal histories, and proper licensing and insurance coverage. This not only assures Block Renovation's complete confidence in a contractor's abilities, but also equips us with the insight to match them precisely with the Chicago home renovations for which they are most qualified.
Finding the right contractor is akin to finding your signature cocktail—plenty of good choices exist, but not every one will reflect your tastes and budget. With this in mind, Block Renovation learns all we can about your Chicago home and renovation objectives. Are you looking to convert a closet into a bathroom in your newly built Downtown condo? Or perhaps you want to renovate the basement of your Chicago bungalow built in the early 1900s. We'll find contractors who excelled with similar projects on similar buildings in the past.
The majority of Block Renovation services are free. You can be paired with qualifying Chicago contractors, receive hands-on assistance from our Renovation Consultants, and benefit from the added assurances of Block Protections, all at no charge to you. Our only paid offerings are our optional Design Services. Here, you work with licensed interior designers to fully flesh out your renovation plans, as well as create visual renderings to help with decision-making, permit acquisition, and contractor coordination.
