The workers are hard working and quick to complete the projects. They also cleanup and leave the home in good shape. The pricing was very fair.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a Chicago kitchen remodel take?

Most full‑gut kitchens run 10–14 weeks, including inspections. Smaller pull‑and‑replace projects can finish in 6–8 weeks.

Do I need a permit for a condo remodel?

Yes. The City of Chicago requires permits for most structural, plumbing, or electrical work inside condos. Our expediter coordinates with your HOA and the Department of Buildings to secure approvals quickly.

Can we live in the home during construction?

Often, yes—especially during basement or targeted remodels. We can install partitions, use negative‑pressure air scrubbers, and perform daily cleanup so living areas remain safe.

What is your warranty

Moller Builders provides a one‑year workmanship warranty on labor, plus all manufacturer product warranties.
