Housing stock: Crown Point is the county seat of Lake County, centered on the Old Lake County Courthouse. Older homes surround the downtown square, while much of the city's growth is newer subdivision housing. [CONFIRM]

Typical projects: Kitchen and bath remodels, basement finishing, additions, decks. [PLACEHOLDER — confirm]

Permitting: Permits here are issued by the City of Crown Point Building Department, 103 E. Clark St. Permits are required before construction, alterations, demolition or repair — including decks, patios and balconies 12 inches or higher. Applications must be submitted by an authorized representative of the licensed general contractor, and all contractors/subcontractors must hold a current City of Crown Point license. We handle permit applications and inspection scheduling as part of the project. [CONFIRM current requirements with the department before each job]

Questions we hear

Do all subcontractors need a Crown Point license?

Yes — the City of Crown Point requires all contractors and subcontractors to hold a current city license before a permit application can be submitted.

Who pulls the permits?

We pull the required permits with the City of Crown Point Building Department for work we contract, and coordinate inspections.

How do you choose the crews who work on my home?

We vet every contractor. Some jobs take 60–80 bids because many don't call back, don't show up, aren't insured, or are booked months out. We screen for insurance before anyone is put on your project.
