Finished rooms for Forest Park homes, without the contractor runaround.

Housing stock: Forest Park is a compact village just west of Oak Park, centered on the Madison Street business district. Its housing is mostly early- to mid-20th-century: brick bungalows, two-flats, frame homes and small apartment buildings. [CONFIRM details]

Typical projects: Kitchen and bath remodels, whole-home renovations, basement finishing, integrated technology. [PLACEHOLDER — confirm]

Permitting: Permits here are issued by the Village of Forest Park Health & Safety / Building Department. Every contractor doing permitted work must register with the Village — permits are not issued to unregistered contractors — with a $10,000 surety bond ($30,000 for demolition), $1 million liability insurance naming the Village, applicable state licenses and an annual registration fee (May 1–April 30). We handle permit applications and inspection scheduling as part of the project. [CONFIRM current requirements with the department before each job]
