About us
Twenty years of Chicago homes
We started in 2005 in a two-car garage in Logan Square, framing additions on weekends while the founder worked nights as a union carpenter. Today we staff 42 people across design, permitting, and field operations, and we've delivered more than 5,000 homes across Chicagoland.
What we care about
Build it once
We'd rather charge a fair price and do the work right than underbid and compromise. Most of our jobs come from referrals — that only works if the last job stayed built.
Say what we know
If a timeline is tight, we say so. If a design won't meet code, we say so. Honest answers during the bid save months during construction.
Local suppliers
Our lumber, stone, cabinets, and tile come from Chicago-area shops we've worked with for a decade. Local sourcing means faster fixes when something's wrong.
One team, start to finish
The designer who draws your plans is still on the project when we're setting tile. No handoffs between departments.

Client stories
Homeowners who trusted us with their biggest rooms
They treated our 1920s bungalow with real care. The kitchen feels twice as big and nothing about the exterior looks touched. The crew arrived on time every day for fourteen weeks.
We got three quotes. Windy City Build was in the middle on price but the only team that walked us through the structural work. No surprise invoices and the bathroom came in a week early.
Adding a second story is scary. Their designer spent two sessions with us before we signed anything. The finish carpentry is beautiful — you can't tell the addition from the original house.
