Why Des Plaines

Minimize disruption. Pull the permit.

Local crews local projects across Chicago's northwest suburbs. Full documentation, a scheduled start date we meet, and a written package scope. That simple.

Since 1984

Crown, flashing, and the first six courses get photographed. The price follows the photos, not a phone guess.

Board-ready bid

Postwar Des Plaines brick wants a softer mix. We tint a sample on the shady side before opening joints.

Closed weekends

The scope names the week we mobilize. If a storm eats a day, the make-up day is already on the sheet.

Kowalczyk crew

A Miner Street shop, not a franchise van. The person who scoped the chimney is on the scaffold.
