Recent Projects in Elmhurst, IL

15 Interior Doors Installed in the Elm Estates Subdivision
Completed a 15-door interior door installation, including new trim molding on each doorway. All nail holes were filled, and the trim and doors were sanded before the frames, trim, and doors were spray painted for a clean, finished look. New door knobs were installed on every door, and the stop molding was adjusted so all doors close tightly without rattling. The finished doors have a clean, uniform appearance that enhances the look of the entire space.

Bathroom Painted and New Exhaust Fan Installed near Butterfield Park
Painted the bathroom walls and trim to give the space a clean, refreshed look. A new bathroom exhaust fan was also installed to improve ventilation and help reduce moisture buildup. The project included cutting a new ceiling opening for the exhaust fan, preparing the surfaces, completing the painting work, and installing the fan for a finished, updated bathroom.

Custom Entertainment Center Doors Installed in Tuxedo Park Subdivision
Installed four new custom raised-panel cabinet doors on an existing entertainment center to create a cleaner, more finished look. The doors were made to match the existing raised-panel doors throughout the home and spray painted to blend with the surrounding trim. A center frame was added to properly support the new doors, and new door handles were attached to complete the updated built-in appearance.

Bathroom Painted and Light Fixture Replaced in Crescent Park Neighborhood
Repaired a large ceiling stain caused by a water leak from above the bathroom, then prepped and painted the ceiling, walls, and wainscoting for a clean, refreshed finish. The project also included replacing the light fixture that failed after the leak, restoring both the appearance and functionality of the bathroom.

Refrigerator Cabinet Replacement near Visitation Catholic Church
Removed an existing refrigerator cabinet and crown molding to accommodate a new, larger appliance that did not fit the original opening. A custom-built cabinet was installed to match the surrounding kitchen cabinetry, ensuring proper spacing and a seamless appearance. The crown molding was carefully reattached to maintain a consistent, finished look. The result is a clean, well-integrated installation that fits the new refrigerator perfectly while preserving the overall style of the kitchen.

Front Door Replacement near North Avenue and York Street
Completed this exterior door installation by removing the old door and frame, installing the new frame level, adding a brick molding extension, installing new brick molding, spray foaming around the frame for a tight seal, and finishing the door and frame with fresh paint. We also installed a smart lock and video doorbell. The updated entryway creates a cleaner, more polished look while improving the fit, finish, and curb appeal of the home.

Bathroom Vanity Installation, Painting & Toilet Repair Near Elmhurst City Centre
Completed a bathroom refresh that included installing a new vanity and sink, removing old wallpaper, painting the walls, and repairing the toilet for proper function.

Patched 9 Holes in Drywall Near York High School
Patched 9 drywall holes after an electrican had to open the walls to install new electric fixtures. Taped and applied three coats of joint compound, allowing each coat to dry properly before sanding. All repaired areas were sanded smooth and blended into the surrounding wall surface, then primed to seal the patches and prepare the wall for final paint.
