Why North Shore homeowners choose us

You've heard the remodeling horror stories.

“From the first meeting Rafal (owner) showed his professionalism, promptness and attention to detail. It is difficult to find a contractor you can trust and rely on and Rafal and his team are hands down the best. We paid exactly what we had agreed to before the project started and everything was completed in exactly the time frame promised. Rafal's team is extremely skilled and detail oriented — they didn't miss anything.”

“Rafal and his team did 2 complete bathroom renovations along with a few other smaller projects. Their work is absolutely flawless. Not one detail was overlooked. They made the entire process easier by staying on schedule and cleaning up daily. His pricing was extremely fair with no hidden surprises. They turned 2 bathroom nightmares into real retreats.”

Who you'll work with

A family business,
not a call center.

Dream Home Services is a husband-and-wife company we started in 2008. We're hands-on owners, so you always know exactly who is responsible for your home.

From the first visit to the final walkthrough, you'll have a direct line to the people who own the company and stand behind the work.

Common questions

Before you call.

Do you handle permits?

Yes. We hold a City of Chicago General Contractor license (TGC141540), pull the permits your project needs, and schedule every required inspection.

Can we live at home during the remodel?

Most families do. We protect floors and the rest of your home, keep the work area contained, and clean up at the end of every workday.

How do you price a project?

After the consultation, you get an itemized proposal with every line item priced before work starts. If the scope changes, you approve it in writing before any cost is added.

Our house is older. Is that a problem?

Not at all. Dream Home Services is an EPA Lead-Safe Certified Firm (NAT-F146856-1), so we follow lead-safe work practices in homes built before 1978.

Who will I be dealing with during the project?

One project manager owns your job from start to finish. You'll always know who to call, and you can reach the owners directly.

What happens after the project is finished?

We do a final walkthrough with you, return 30 days later for our complimentary Peace of Mind Inspection™, and back the work with a 1-year workmanship warranty.

Do you work in my town?

We work across Chicago's North Shore, including Wilmette, Winnetka, Glenview, Northbrook, Deerfield, Highland Park and Lake Forest, plus the Northwest and Western suburbs. Put your town in the form and we'll confirm.
