Featured Reviews for Builders in DeKalb, IL

Eminent Living LLC
Builders in DeKalb, IL
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars24 March 2023
“Michael was extremely exceptional with his service from beginning to end. I wasn’t really even sure what I was going for with my bathroom remodel and he was amazing with guiding me on ideas with what’s modern, traditional or a mix of both. Execution was on point and I could not be happier. I get so many compliments on the design and quality of work. Definitely recommend him, and he will be who I call to do my kitchen remodel, as well.”

“Synergy Builders came up with a great design idea for our kitchen. We had a challenging layout, and they worked for months to get things just right. They were on time and on budget with the work. The staff offered many valuable ideas and helped us see our vision become reality. The quality of the work was excellent. They have a great attention to detail and aim to please. I highly recommend Synergy Builders.”

Reliable Home Improvement

Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars28 February 2017
“We have owned a beautiful ranch home for many years but wanted an updated bathroom, larger his & her closets, skylight and cathedral ceilings. We shared our dreams with Reliable and their architects added everything we wanted. They provided us with a timeline and their entire team was very professional and the work was outstanding. They turned our bedroom and bath from a living space to a "Wow" space!”
J and R Construction Services & More, Inc
Builders in DeKalb, IL
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars21 January 2013
“We had a new entry door installed. They provided great service, were on time and completed the installation in a very timely manner. They were very respectful of our needs and treated us like it was as important to them as it was to us. They cleaned up after themselves and even wore booties to protect my floor. I would highly recommend them. Good value and great quality.”
Old Oak Homes, Inc.
Builders in DeKalb, IL
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars20 July 2013
“Fantastic. Very professional. Very creative. I had several antique doors to fit into our kitchen remodel. Devin would always comment that my ideas were unique and then went to work creatively to make it all work. Just a fantastic person to work with. My husband and I cannot say enough good things about Devin, his work crew, his creativity, his professionalism, etc.”
Cut Masters Construction
Builders in DeKalb, IL
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars28 January 2013
“Cut masters did an amazing job adding custom details to our otherwise boring old house! They put built in's on either side of our fireplace and trimmed around out flat screen TV. In addition to that they put beautiful crown molding, chair rail and wainscoting on the main floor. It has absolutely transformed our house into a home. Lastly, they put a classic Carrara marble backsplash in the kitchen, a custom mirror surround in the powder room and opened up the wall from the kitchen to the family room! AMAZING!!!”
Ed Saloga Design Build
Builders in DeKalb, IL
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars24 April 2013
“We were fortunate enough to partner with Ed on an addition and remodel to our home and couldn't be happier with the finished product. Ed and his team delivered the highest level of craftsmanship and quality and his design aesthetic is truly impeccable. Ed's out of the box thinking and unique vision have transformed our home! We strongly recommend Ed Saloga Design Build for any new construction or remodeling project.”
Carpentry with Integrity, Inc.
Builders in DeKalb, IL
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars19 February 2018
“Our Master Bath and Jack&Jill Bath remodels are signature Carpentry With Integrity successes! The fine quality work is evident throughout...and the crews/managers were professional, considerate and a major help in navigating the whole process. We were reminded how stressful it is to have your house somewhat turned upside down with all the activity. But when you like the people doing the work and thrilled with the result, it is more than worth the experience. Special shout-out to Frank DeLoncker for his wonderful help with it all...!”

Builder FAQs
There are several reasons why you should hire a local builder in DeKalb:
  1. Local builders will be familiar with your local authorities building regulations, being able to advise on any relevant permits you need before work can begin.
  2. Builders near you will be aware of the climate of your area, and can recommend materials and construction methods suitable for your area.
  3. Building firms nearby will provide quicker responses and quotes compared to contractors outside of your local area, as they are nearby, they will often drop in to talk to you about your project and view the property.

For home builders, you will usually receive a quote for a building project instead of daily rates or hourly fees. The cost depends on various factors such as the type of job, builders experience and length of the project.

Expect to pay less for a small maintenance job such as brickwork repair or an extension of an existing wall than a new build project such as a kitchen or bathroom renovation and home extensions. After you’ve found a local builder for your project, speaking with them in detail about your project will help them give you an accurate estimate for the work required.
If you hire a home builder for a lengthy project, such as an extension, your builder may charge a daily rate. You can expect to pay around £350 per day for this. If your builder charges this way, ask for an estimation of how long this will take so you know roughly how much the total cost will be.

After choosing either option, you can reach out to the builders you want to discuss your project with. You can request and compare quotes before hiring the right builder for you.
When looking for a DeKalb building company to take on your project, you will want to know that they will be able to handle the job in good time and sticking to your agreed budget. A professional contractor will have worked on projects like yours previously and they will know exactly what to do.

Compile a shortlist of at least three builders in DeKalb that can handle the full scope of works, either by themselves or through sub-contracting. It is often a good idea to play devils advocate and ask what the builder will not be responsible for. Be wary of unusually cheap quotes. Ask for references and stories about how the builder has met different challenges along the way. If you can, you could try to see previous projects and talk to previous clients, or if not, read reviews, recommendations and ratings, and look at detailed photos of projects. All of which you can find on Houzz.
