Kane County, IL General Contractor
Your project benefits from 20+ years of local experience. We know Kane County's permit processes, building departments, and what it takes to get work done right in St. Charles, Geneva, Batavia, and beyond.
Quality Construction Throughout Kane County, IL
When you hire a contractor from outside the area, you're paying for their learning curve. They don't know the permit office in your town. They haven't worked with your local inspectors. They're guessing at timelines that should be predictable.
After 20+ years working in Kane County, I know the nuances that affect your project. I know that Geneva has different requirements than St. Charles. I know which inspectors want to see what documentation, and how long permits actually take in each municipality. That knowledge saves you time, money, and frustration.
We've completed over 50 additions and countless remodels throughout Kane County. Our office is on Main Street in St. Charles, and most of our projects are within 20 minutes of our office. When you call, you get someone who's been building here for two decades.

// FAQs
-
It varies by municipality. St. Charles typically processes permits in 4-6 weeks. Geneva can take longer, especially for historic district properties. We factor permit timelines into every project schedule and handle all the paperwork for you.
-
Yes. Unincorporated areas often involve county permitting rather than municipal, which has its own process. We've completed projects throughout unincorporated Kane County and understand the requirements.
-
A contractor from outside the area doesn't know your building department, your inspectors, or your permit process. They'll figure it out—on your timeline and your budget. We already know these things because we've been working here for 20+ years.
-
Most of our projects are within 30 minutes of our St. Charles office. We work throughout Kane County and into DuPage County (Geneva, Wheaton, Naperville, and surrounding areas). For the right project, we'll consider locations further out.
-
Yes. We work with several architects regularly and can recommend ones who fit your project type and style. If you already have an architect, we're happy to collaborate with them.
-
Call us or fill out the contact form. We'll schedule a free consultation at your home to discuss your goals, assess your space, and give you honest information about what's possible within your budget and timeline.
