Chicago Handyman

Transform your living space with our comprehensive remodeling services in Chicago. We specialize in modern, functional kitchen remodels that blend style with efficiency — think soft-close hinges, plywood construction, and elegant finishes. Our bathroom remodeling includes curbless showers, stand-alone tubs, and flawless tile installation, all backed by a ten-year warranty. But we don't stop there: we also convert attics and basements into usable, beautiful living areas.

Who is this for? Homeowners who want to increase property value, improve daily living, or simply refresh tired spaces. Our process starts with a detailed consultation to understand your vision and budget. Then we handle everything — design assistance, material sourcing, demolition, construction, and final walkthrough. Our team, led by experts like Dan Shirley with two decades of construction experience, ensures quality assurance at every step.

Why choose us? We are local to Chicago and understand the unique architecture and building codes of Chicago homes. We don't outsource; our own crew does the work. Plus, we offer savings like $1,000 off kitchen remodels and 25% off cabinets. From initial concept to the final coat of paint, we deliver results that exceed expectations. Whether you want a chef-inspired kitchen or a spa-like bathroom, we make it happen without the usual stress of remodeling.

Drywall damage can happen to anyone — from accidental holes to water stains or cracking over time. Our drywall repair service in Chicago handles it all, large and small. We patch holes seamlessly, repair water-damaged sections, and even tackle full-wall replacements when needed. What sets us apart is our meticulous dust control: we use vacuum-attached tools and protective barriers to keep your home clean during the process.

This service is ideal for homeowners, landlords, or businesses that need walls restored to a smooth, paintable finish. Our process begins with a thorough assessment of the damage. Then we cut out compromised sections, install new drywall, tape, mud, sand, and texture-match to your existing wall. Finally, we prime and paint so you can't tell there was ever a problem. Our expert Leo Jimenez, who is EPA certified for lead paint removal, oversees these projects, ensuring safety and quality.

Why trust us? In Chicago, older homes often have unique plaster walls or lead paint concerns. We are trained to handle both safely. We also work efficiently to minimize disruption to your daily life. Whether you need a small hole patched or extensive water damage restoration, we deliver a flawless finish every time. Plus, our upfront hourly rate ($114/hour with a 90-minute minimum) means no surprises. Satisfaction guaranteed.

Leaky faucets, clogged drains, and unexpected floods don't wait for regular business hours. Our plumbing handyman service in Chicago provides fast, reliable solutions for residential and commercial properties. We handle everything from clearing stubborn clogs and repairing leaks to installing refrigerator water lines and replacing cartridges. Even more complex jobs like toilet rebuilds or sink installations are within our scope.

Who needs this? Homeowners tired of drips wasting water, property managers dealing with tenant issues, or businesses facing plumbing emergencies. Our process starts with a diagnostic visit to locate the problem using modern tools (like drain cameras when necessary). Then we present an upfront estimate before any work begins. Repairs are done with quality parts and workmanship, and we always test thoroughly to ensure the issue is resolved.

Why choose us? We are available 24/7 for emergencies — because we know burst pipes don't happen at convenient times. Vincent Pimentel, our plumbing specialist, has a reputation for excellent communication and customer service, especially with remote property owners. We also coordinate with our electrical and drywall teams if the repair requires opening walls or moving wiring. For Chicago residents, we offer the peace of mind that comes with licensed, insured professionals who stand behind their work. Don't let plumbing problems escalate; let us fix them right the first time.

Electrical issues can be frustrating and dangerous. Our electrical handyman service in Chicago covers common residential needs without the high cost of a full-scale electrician for small jobs. We replace switches and dimmers, install ceiling fans and sconces, add under-cabinet lighting, and troubleshoot faulty outlets or circuits. For larger remodels, we work alongside our remodeling team to ensure all wiring is up to code.

This service is perfect for homeowners looking to upgrade lighting, improve energy efficiency, or fix persistent electrical annoyances like flickering lights or tripping breakers. Our process: a licensed professional assesses your needs, provides a clear quote, performs the work safely, and tests everything before leaving. We follow all local codes and obtain permits when required.

Why trust us with your home's electrical system? Safety is our priority. Our team includes experienced electricians who understand the unique wiring of Chicago's older homes and newer constructions. We also coordinate seamlessly with our drywall team if we need to access wall cavities. When you choose Chicago Handyman, you get the convenience of one call for multiple trades. Whether you need a simple dimmer swap or complete under-cabinet lighting installation, we deliver reliable, code-compliant work with a smile. No job is too small, and no problem too weird — as our happy clients in Roscoe Village can attest.

Floors take a beating. From scratches and dents to warping and discoloration, our flooring repair service in Chicago brings your floors back to life. We specialize in hardwood floor refinishing — sanding, staining, and sealing to match existing wood or create a new look. We also repair luxury vinyl plank (LVP), laminate, engineered wood, and tile flooring. Whether you need a single damaged plank replaced or a full room refinished, we've got you covered.

Who is this for? Homeowners preparing to sell, landlords refreshing units, or anyone tired of looking at worn floors. Our process begins with an inspection to determine the extent of damage and the best repair method. For hardwood, we sand down the finish, make necessary repairs, then apply stain and protective sealant. For tile, we remove broken pieces, re-prep the subfloor, and install new tiles with matching grout. We take great care to minimize dust and disruption.

Why choose us? Leo Jimenez, our flooring and drywall expert, has over a decade of experience with Chicago Handyman. He has matched stains so perfectly that clients can't tell where old floor ends and new begins. We also offer competitive pricing: our hourly rate is $114, rounded down to the nearest 15 minutes. For larger projects, we provide flat-rate quotes. With our satisfaction guarantee and attention to detail, your floors will look factory-fresh. Serving Chicago homes and businesses, we're the flooring repair specialists you can rely on.

Extend your living space outdoors with our deck repair service in Chicago. Chicago's weather can be harsh on decks — sun, snow, rain, and freeze-thaw cycles take their toll. We repair rotting boards, loose railings, unstable stairs, and structural issues. Our team also refinishes wood decks with cleaning, sanding, staining, and sealing to protect against future damage. For roof-top decks common in Chicago, we handle waterproofing and garden root infiltration problems as well.

Who needs this? Homeowners with aging decks, property managers responsible for multi-unit deck safety, or anyone planning to sell their home (a well-maintained deck adds value). Our process: we start with a full safety inspection to identify all issues. Then we provide a detailed repair plan and quote. Work includes replacing compromised lumber, reinforcing connections, and applying protective finishes. We always match existing materials as closely as possible.

Why trust us? We understand Chicago building codes and the specific challenges of urban deck construction — from narrow gangways to rooftop access. Our team has experience with cedar, pressure-treated pine, composite, and PVC decking. Plus, we coordinate with our plumbing and electrical teams if your deck has outdoor lighting or water features. With careful attention to structure, safety, and finish, we bring your deck back to life. Don't let a wobbly railing or splintered board ruin your outdoor enjoyment. Call us for a free estimate.
