This was a pro bono project for the Pepo design team. Rob Caslick (our client) wanted the garden on the roof top of St Canice church to be a space of connection and respite for the local asylum seeker community who have accommodation nearby. He wanted to engage the local community and to have a garden associated with the Inside Out Organic Soup Kitchen which is on the ground floor of the building. The idea was to develop programs for the greater community about food and gardening. Programs including horticultural therapy, cooking classes for single mums and gardening classes for people living without their own garden spaces were being considered. The garden was to be a communal place that provided food from different cultures used for education but most of all it had to be a place that could be shared and where people felt safe and nurtured.
Since the installation of the garden the interest in events and the services it provides has blossomed! Very quickly the garden and its community connection has become a talking point in the local area and the programs that were discussed in the initial brief have been very supported.

“These are the types of projects our company loves performing,” said Bo Mikuta, president of A.B. Edward. “When we met with the client we discussed the scope of the remodel, reviewed a list of project changes, and put together a workable budget, and we were very excited to be chosen as the sole contractor.”
Remodeling this farmhouse required a myriad of exterior services, all provided by the one contractor. A.B. Edward rebuilt the porch entirely and restored the brick foundation. A.B. Edward also installed GAF roofing shingles, Pella windows, and James Hardie lap and shake siding.
The complete list of services performed for the farmhouse’s renovation include the following:
- GAF Roofing Shingles
- James Hardie Siding
- Pella Windows
- Aluminum Gutter Gards
- Custom Garage Doors
- Wall Insulation
- Masonry Chimney Rebuild
- Electrical Installation / Repair
- Carpentry Deck and Porch Build
- Restoration of Brick Foundation
Owner Megan McClug said:
“How do you describe the work of successfully reviving a piece of history over 100 years old? Some might call it a miracle. We call it experience, talent and attention to detail. The exterior of our 100-year old farmhouse needed every bit of attention to make it an energy efficient and secure home for our young family. It was important to us to find a local-community company and also one with deep know-how about remodeling exteriors. A.B. Edward is the definition of an exterior home specialist, and our experience working with them was simply the best.
A.B. Edward gave us a detailed construction contract and they were attentive to every change, addition and question we raised during both the bidding and finalization. Their entire crew worked very hard and were extremely efficient and clean. They also completed our project on time and within budget! A.B. Edward replaced our home’s roof, 22 windows, insulated the walls, new siding, gutters, garage door, and demolished and built a new porch within 3 months.”
The Glenview farmhouse was built in 1913. It went on the market in 1961 with a non-conforming apartment on the second floor. A.B. Edward completed the exterior restoration in four months.
A.B. Edward has been family owned and operated since it began business in 2003. Serving the Chicagoland area’s home exterior needs, A.B. Edward is located in Wheeling, IL, and can be contacted at (847) 827-1605 or info@abedward.com.
“We are so happy with the look and feel of our remodeled exterior home. Thank you to everyone at AB Edward!
