Our Project Manager, Ben, was easy to get a hold of, quick to resolve any questions or concerns we had throughout the project. All subcontractors were professional, friendly and easy to work with. We are absolutely thrilled with the final project. Our basement is now the highlight of our home with space for the whole family and guests.

4Ever Remodeling has earned a stellar reputation for delivering stress-free, high-quality home remodeling projects to homeowners in Chicago and the surrounding suburbs. With a proven system refined through over two thousand projects, we've become known as The Remodeling Machine — a company where expert design consultants, skilled interior designers, dedicated project managers, and experienced installers work together like clockwork. Our streamlined process ensures every kitchen, bathroom, basement, or whole-home remodel is completed on time, on budget, and backed by a comprehensive warranty. With creative designs and detailed installation, we build beautiful, functional spaces that meet customers expectations.

"My husband and I were looking to get 2 bathrooms in our home remodeled. My husband called and was told that 4 Ever Remodeling does not service our area. Needless to say, we were confused seeing that this company remodeled a home across the street from where we live. I decided to go on their website to see the areas. Again, not only do they service the Oak Park area, they also service two surrounding suburbs. I called back to ask why is this and was told that it was because of my area code. I tried telling this company that I was literally one block from the expressway, however 4 Ever Remodeling kept saying, it's the zip code. I felt it was very discriminatory and we shouldn't be judged based on the area code. Being a former Oak Park resident, I will share my experience with family and friends in OP as I will share on social medial as well."

Plus, we're always on-site, ensuring your project is smooth and stress-free. You're in good hands with GS Construction.

"Our project turned out better than we expected and as things were going along, we added more projects. Patryk, Greg and their team did a fantastic job. They were always so nice to work with, even suggesting things which was helpful. They never left a project until they thought it was perfect. We did a full kitchen remodel, even closing off a window to move a fridge and pantry to the other side to allow more cabinets and much needed counter space. They widen the entrance and the kitchen seems so much bigger. We think it’s Beautiful! They did laminated floors throughout the first floor, painted all walls and new baseboards. They created a wine bar which was just a cubby hole. They put in a pantry like cubby hole in our laundry room and added cabinets and above wall unit. One of the projects we had them add is new wooden stairs to the 2nd floor, white spindles and railing that curves instead of a wall and laminate floors on the 2nd floor. Other odd and ends that they never hesitated to do. We appreciate all they have done in our home, To us, it’s amazing how nice it is and how it should have been all the years we have lived here. Its exciting to show it off, it feels like a new house. These guys are amazing and would definately recommend them to anyone. Very reliable and easy to get in contact with when needed.

"Wonderful!!! Love my bathroom remodel thanks to David and Robert. We needed to reschedule for many months due to my father being ill. They were so kind and thoughtful about it. Most contractors would have taken your deposit and never contacted you again. Not them. We completed the project and I am so so happy. They were punctual and tidy, cleaning up every day inside my unit and in the common area of my floor hallway. Talented contractors and even better humans! Thank you both!"

Titan Builders' impact in Chicago's remodeling market is largely due to our driving ambition to be the area's most client-focused company. According to Michael Dreier, our Founder and President of Titan Builders, "Our primary mission is to be a multi-faceted, modern, and innovative company. A total solution company that provides 5 star service to our customers irrespective of the size of the project". Titan Builders' perspective comes from years of working closely with our customers, so listening to them and their needs helped shaped our mission. That, along with a highly experienced team that have been in the remodeling industry for many years, positions us as a leader in Chicago's remodeling market. “Team Titan”, as we call ourselves, strives to consistently deliver results for our clients by providing quality workmanship and total integrity, regardless of the size or complexity of the project. We also believe that the success is not in the completion of the work, but in the client's overall positive experience as we help bring their remodeling ideas “to life” in their homes. Looking to the future, Titan Builders will be a continued leader in the home remodeling market, adopting new ways to engage and connect with both new and previous clients. With today's technology and a more sophisticated, educated customer, we are setting the bar even higher in terms of product and service, and we're proud of it! We are the finest group of professionals...our sales force, craftsmen, our staff, and our leadership are dedicated to achieving the highest results for our valued clients.

"Titan Builders did an incredible job with our project. We were looking to fix some issues that arose from a poor job done by the previous owners. Additionally, we needed to make the bathroom more accessible. Mark from Titan came in and listened to everything that we were concerned with. He helped us design a bathroom that exceeds our expectations. From the planning stage through the completion of project Titan was great. Every person who worked on our bathroom was a skilled craftsman. They kept the space as clean as possible, they were always on time, they were kind, and they made sure that we were happy and that we understood everything they were doing. Communication with the foreman and Mark was easy and clear. I will definitley be using TItan for future projects in our home."

Remodel design services FAQs

The cost to finish a basement is $18,400 for the average homeowner. However, this cost could be as little as $2,800 or as much as $34,500, depending on the basement size and the materials needed. If your basement is already outfitted with electrical and plumbing, expect the cost to fall on the lower end. 

For example, the drywall cost for this project averages around $1,750, but other features, like hiring a plumber, cost between $45 and $200 per hour.

The cost to remodel a basement is between $12,100 and $33,400 for the average homeowner. The price you pay can be as little as $3,500 or as much as $50,200, depending on the size and condition of your basement and the type of remodel you're doing. 

If you're doing a simple project like adding a home office to your basement, you can expect to pay anywhere from $500 to $3,000. However, if you're adding a bathroom, which is an extensive project, you can expect to pay between $6,600 to $16,500.

Yes, most states require home remodeling contractors to be licensed, and for good reason. Hiring an unlicensed home remodeling contractor could lead to poor quality work, costly future expenses, and potential code violations. 

As you browse our pro listings, take note of the “Angi Approved” badge. Angi Approved businesses meet our standards for certification which include:

  • The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check

  • Required to have applicable state and local licenses

  • Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review

  • Paying to advertise their services

  • Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi

Keep in mind licensing is different from certifications. A license is a legal requirement to operate a business, while certifications are voluntary.

The average cost to enclose a patio to create a sunroom is around $5,000, and prices generally range from $3,000 up to $10,000. The price you pay will depend on the state of your patio and whether it needs repairs or additional structural support, the quality of the materials you choose, the size of your patio, and whether you plan to run utilities into and finish the sunroom. The price for a fully finished patio enclosure could run up to around $20,000, while you might pay just $2,500 for a screened-in porch.

In almost all cases, you will need permits if you plan on building a sunroom over your patio, but regulations and requirements will depend on your municipality. Permits to enclose your patio will usually cost between $300 and $1,000. Since navigating local building codes and zoning requirements is challenging—and the consequences of not following them can be extremely expensive—we strongly recommend hiring a sunroom builder to complete the work and pull the permits for you.
