Client Testimonials

Anton of Skor Construction was outstanding. We had Skor replace our roof, several windows, gutters, soffit/fascia, shutters and garage door in May 2020. Anton and his team were incredibly professional, timely, dedicated and highly involved (Anton checked in frequently with us on the project). The house looks great! We highly recommend Anton at Skor Construction.

Sue L.
Glenview, IL
I hired Skor construction to install my new kitchen cabinets based on the recommendation of the cabinet company. Anton was extremely helpful and easy to communicate with. I was concerned because I wanted to save my existing countertops. I was afraid they would crack when being removed. But Anton and his team were able to save them! Bonus! The work they did turned out awesome! This a honest, reliable, trustworthy company. You do not need to worry about being scammed. Will definitely use Skor construction again!

Questions? We Can Help
When setting a budget for your home remodel, consider the following factors:
- The Scope of the Project: Determine the extent of the work required and prioritize essential changes.
- Quality of Materials: Decide on the quality and type of materials you want to use, as this will impact the overall cost.
- Labor Costs: Factor in hiring skilled professionals to complete the work.
- Contingency Fund: Set aside a contingency fund for unexpected expenses that may arise during the project.
- Financing Options: Explore financing options if necessary to ensure your renovation budget is realistic and achievable.
The cost of a home remodel varies widely based on the scope of the project, the quality of materials, and labor costs. Smaller projects, like bathroom updates, may cost a few thousand dollars, while extensive renovations, like whole-home remodels, can exceed $100,000. It’s best to consult with a general contractor like Skor Construction for a detailed estimate tailored to your specific project.
Whether it is better to remodel or move depends on several factors, including:
- Your attachment to your current home and neighborhood
- The cost of remodeling versus the cost of buying a new home
- The potential increase in home value from remodeling
- The ability to meet your needs through remodeling
Consider these factors and consult with a real estate professional or contractor to make an informed decision.
The duration of a remodel varies based on the size and complexity of the project. Smaller projects like bathroom updates may take a few weeks, while larger renovations like kitchen remodels or whole-home makeovers can take several months. Skor Construction will provide a detailed timeline during the initial phase of the project.
