One free visit. One price. One company.
It starts with a quick call and a free visit to your building. It ends with a closed case. Most contractors sell you a repair, which is a different job with a different finish line and considerably more of your weekend in it.
You tell us what it says
Your partTick your items on the homepage, send a photo of the citation, or just give us the address. That is the entire ask, and it is the only step that needs you.
Takes two minutes. No charge, no obligation.
We pull the City file
We look up the property record ourselves, so you find out about every open item now rather than discovering one at the hearing that nobody handed you.
You see the full picture before anyone quotes anything.
We call, then we come out
A quick call to understand the property and agree a time. Then we walk the building and look at what is on the notice plus what an inspector would write up next visit. Half-scoping a violation is the most common way owners end up back in front of the department.
Usually within the week. Sooner if your date is close.
You get a written estimate, free
Every item in one document from one company. We say plainly which parts we self-perform, which go to a licensed partner, and which need a permit before anything can start.
No site-visit fee, no deposit, nothing padded in.
We handle the department
Drawings prepared and permits filed under our licence. This is the step that stalls most violation cases, which is exactly why we start it first instead of last.
You never have to learn how the permit desk works.
The work gets done
Our crews handle the masonry, porches, roofing, carpentry, windows and structural items. Plumbing, heating and electrical run through licensed partners on our schedule.
One superintendent, one schedule, one phone number.
We meet the inspector
We book the re-inspections and stand on site for them. You do not need to take a day off work to let somebody in and answer questions about mortar.
Your time stays yours.
You get the closing package
Permits, photos and sign-offs in one place, ready for the hearing file or for the next buyer who asks. The job is not finished when the scaffold comes down. It is finished when the case is closed.
Proof you can hand to anyone who asks.
Why we will not just quote you the masonry
A Chicago case does not close item by item in your favour. It closes when the department is satisfied with all of it. That is how an owner spends real money on a wall, gets good work for it, and is still standing at a hearing months later wondering what went wrong.
We built the company around how the City actually writes notices: several items, several trades, one deadline. We self-perform 20 of those trades and keep licensed partners for the three that legally require a different licence.
See everything we cover- ✓One company on the contract, whatever the notice lists.
- ✓Permits filed under our own licence, not yours.
- ✓Our superintendent on site, not a rotating cast of subs.
- ✓Plumbing, heating and electrical through licensed partners we have used for years.
- ✓Re-inspections booked and met, and the paperwork handed to you at the end.
The questions owners actually ask
I have a hearing date already. Is it too late to do anything?
No, and this is worth hearing clearly: showing up with permits filed and work underway changes the whole conversation. Owners who arrive having done nothing get treated very differently. Call before the date, not after it.
How much is this going to cost me?
The estimate itself costs nothing. We come out, walk the building and hand you one written price covering every item on the notice, and you see the whole number before you commit to anything. If we think something is worth doing that is not on the notice, we say so separately and you decide.
Can I just fix the worst item and leave the rest?
The case will not close that way. Open items stay attached to the property and tend to reappear at the worst possible time, usually the week you are trying to sell or refinance.
Do I have to deal with the City myself?
No. We file the permits under our licence, handle the department, and meet the inspector on site for the re-inspections. You should not have to learn how any of that works.
You are masons. Who does the plumbing and the electrical?
Licensed partners we have worked with for years. They run on our schedule and our permit, and you get one contract and one point of contact for the entire notice.
I have tenants in the building. What happens to them?
We work in occupied buildings constantly and sequence the work so people can usually stay put. Where a unit has to be empty for a day, you get notice well in advance.
I am not in Chicago proper. Can you still help?
Yes. We work across Chicagoland. The suburbs run their own code-enforcement departments with their own procedures, and we deal with them the same way.
What does the free estimate actually include?
We pull the City record for the property, come out and walk the building, and give you a written breakdown of every open item and what closing it takes, priced. No site-visit fee and no obligation to hire us afterwards.
Bring us the notice before the hearing, not after.
The earlier we start, the more room you have. The visit and the estimate are free, and you are not committing to anything by asking.
Licensed and insured. A person answers, Monday to Saturday.
