Services Built for Chicago Homes — Old and New
A Lincoln Park greystone and an Oak Brook new build are not the same job. Older Chicago homes — bungalows, two-flats, vintage condos — have plaster walls, cast-iron plumbing, and layouts that require a careful hand. You open up a wall in a 1920s Wicker Park two-flat and you might find knob-and-tube wiring or a plumbing stack that was not where the drawings said it would be. That is not a problem — it is just part of working in older Chicago housing stock. We know how to handle it.
Newer builds in Oak Brook, Northbrook, or Arlington Heights move faster because the infrastructure is more predictable. But they still need attention to finishes, code compliance, and material quality.
Bathroom Remodeling
Small powder rooms to full master bath gut jobs. Custom glass showers, vanities, tile floors, and soaker tubs. We handle layout changes and plumbing relocation when needed.
Kitchen Remodeling
Layout changes, custom cabinetry, island design, countertop integration, and appliance installation. We work on galley kitchens in Chicago bungalows and open-plan kitchens in newer suburban homes.
Basement Finishing
Raw space turned into livable square footage. We handle moisture control, egress compliance, flooring, lighting, and framing — everything from a simple rec room to a full basement apartment.
Whole Home Remodeling
Multi-room projects, open-concept conversions, structural work, and home additions. We manage complex jobs that cross multiple trades and require careful sequencing.
Flooring Installation
Hardwood refinishing, tile, basement flooring, and seamless transitions between rooms. We help you pick the right material for each space before the work starts.
Craftsmanship in every detail.
Frameless glass, precise tile lines, heated floors, and finishes set by people who treat every joint as visible. The details are what separate a remodel from a HQ Carpentry remodel.

Start your project
Your Chicago Home Deserves a Remodel That Lasts
Peeling grout, broken tile, cabinets that won’t close — these problems get worse every winter. Chicago’s freeze-thaw cycles put real stress on tile grout, caulk seams, and basement moisture barriers. What looks like a small crack in October can open up significantly by March. We use materials chosen to hold up through those swings, not just look good on day one.
Our finish work is clean and built to last. We do not swap in cheaper materials to speed up a timeline. When we hand the project back to you, it should look sharp and stay that way for years — not just through the first season.
