What Mount Prospect kitchens usually need
Small jobs as well as remodels
Not every call is a remodel. Faucets, disposals, cabinet hinges, range hoods and countertop repairs are a big part of our work here.
Lead-safe work on older paint
Most homes here were built before 1980, so we work lead-safe on older painted surfaces: containment, no dry sanding and HEPA cleanup.
Working within condo rules
In condo buildings the association sets the rules for noise, deliveries and plumbing changes; we handle the paperwork and plan around them.
