About Us

Our Story

Over 25 Years Building Chicago Homes

Since 1999, Chicago Home Additions has been the trusted choice for homeowners throughout Chicago and the North and Northwest suburbs looking to expand their living space. What started as a small crew committed to honest pricing and quality workmanship has grown into a recognized name in Chicago home construction, earning a 4.8 Google rating across 17 reviews from satisfied clients across the city.

We specialize exclusively in home additions, room additions, and garage additions, which means every member of our team brings deep, focused expertise to every project. We do not cut corners, we do not use substandard materials, and we do not leave a project until the homeowner is completely satisfied. That commitment has kept us busy in Chicago for more than two decades.

Why We Started

We founded Chicago Home Additions because we believed Chicago homeowners deserved a contractor who combined trade expertise with genuine transparency. Too many homeowners were receiving inflated bids and inconsistent quality. We set out to change that.
