Belmont Cragin sits roughly along Fullerton and Cicero Avenues on Chicago's northwest side. It's a dense, working-class neighborhood with a strong Latino community, lots of brick two-flats and bungalows, and homes that were built to last but are starting to show their age. Many of these houses have original bathrooms, unfinished basements, and layouts that haven't been touched in decades. That's where we come in.
Chicago winters hit Belmont Cragin hard. Freeze-thaw cycles crack tile grout, buckle basement floors, and push moisture into places you don't want it. Summers bring humidity that warps wood and breeds mold in poorly ventilated bathrooms. Homeowners here need a contractor who understands what the climate does to a house over 30 or 40 years, not someone who treats every job like a fresh build in a suburb.
