How We Handle Your Project
Windy City Construction & Design strives to make every project a thorough, detail-oriented process. Every construction process shares the same project management principals. Windy City involves several different people in your housing project and ensures on several quality assurance levels that the project is designed and executed properly.
Design Phase I
During our design phase, you will meet with our Consultants and Construction Designers. Depending on your specific need from exterior work, additions & remodeling, window replacements, damage assessment, or energy consulting, we have specialists that will design with you and your budget in mind the best solution.
Contract Phase
Once you finalized with your architect and our consultants or designers the scope of your project, our Estimators will create a comprehensive cost analysis and submit a contract for your approval. With the signing of a contract, our consultant will introduce you to your personal Project Manager. Your project manager will be your direct contact throughout the entire construction on site, over the phone, and via email.
Permit Phase
During the beginning of your construction your personal project manager and consultant will help you to acquire all necessary construction permits, licenses, and approvals necessary to complete your specific project on time.
Construction Phase
As the construction begins, you will enter a selection phase and a building phase.
Selection Phase
The selection phase might be necessary to make all final and detailed product decisions. While the design phase might have include the type of product and service, the selection phase could include picking the exact colors, materials, or other objects within your contract allowances.
Building Phase
The most anticipated phase. Constructing your project! Your project manager coordinates our construction crews, third party vendors, and sub-contractors if needed.

Review by a customerin Buffalo Grove, IL Project: Remodel a Kitchen
This is the second kitchen remodel done by Windy City for me. I was so happy with my kitchen that they were hired to remodel my mother's kitchen. They do excellent work and are very responsive. For this project, communication was important because I was not able to be on-site very often. Anita sent me pictures and kept me informed throughout the project. This was a old kitchen and there were surprisingly few surprised during demolition. Anita kept the project on budget and was very responsive the change orders (such as adding new insulation to the outside walls) during the project. They also clean-up every day!

Review by a customerin Buffalo Grove, IL Project: Remodel a Kitchen
Windy City did a complete kitchen remodel. Anita maintained open communication on every aspect of the project; if I had questions/concerns, she always returned my calls in a timely manner. The project to a bit longer than anticipated, but looking back, I am glad we took the time to focus on the details. The construction team was very professional responsive to my concerns during the project. In fact, I liked this team so much that they were hired agian to remodel my mother's kitchen and did an equally great job!!

Review by Roger L.in Inverness, IL Project: Remodel a Bathroom
From start to finish, they kept us informed every step of the way. Their professional, talented workers had to make some site adjustments that was communicated clearly and timely. The end result is just what my Wife and I imagined. I will call upon them in the near future to complete a couple of other projects I want done.

Review by Peter P.in Palatine, IL Project: Remodel a Bathroom
They did beautiful job. They reassured us, explain the process and performed the task in a first class and professional manner. I really liked their help with the design aspect of the project. Designer, project manager, and workers were most courteous and professional. They always cleaned up the work site after themselves, which I appreciated. I was really impressed when one day they worked until 10 PM to make sure that all the plumbing issues in our house were addressed. They really went above and beyond to make us happy. I would certainly not hesitate to recommend this firm for any home improvement project.

Review by a customerin Deerfield, IL Project: Remodel a Bathroom
Qualityof work was excellent. Really appreciated design assistance and support. I had never done a major project before.
Timing was not great . Took over twice as long as estimated and I know there were times when my crew was moved to another project in spite of my request for completion.
Occasional communications problems... not getting returned calls or contradictory information from project coordinator and sales associate.
Overall I am very happy with the result and would use this company again.

Review by Barbara B.in Chicago, IL Project: Remodel a Bathroom
We awarded a contract to Windy City to remodel three bathrooms in August, 2007. Early in the job, the company made two major errors -- tile incorrectly installed in our master bath, and a countertop incorrectly drilled in the guest bath.

Review by Marcia W.in Deerfield, IL Project: Remodel a Bathroom
Everything went very well. The job was done on time. The Sale Consultant, was very professional and extremely helpful. The Project Coordinator was on top of the work being done. Everyone associated with the project was excellent and I would recommend them highly. My granddaughter will ONLY use this bathroom, cause the other is too gloomy.
