Where we build
Six neighbourhoods, and a radius we keep deliberately small
A lead carpenter who can be on your site in half an hour is worth more than a wider map. Everything we take is within about thirty minutes of the shop.
- Neighbourhoods
- 6 core areas
- Radius
- About 30 minutes
- Studio
- River North
Local knowledge
Each of these places builds differently
A Gold Coast co-op, a Lakeview courtyard building and an Evanston ranch have almost nothing in common except the room. The notes below are what we have learned in each.

The studio
418 N Wells St, Studio 3, Chicago
Where we build
Chicago and the North Shore, within about thirty minutes of the shop
We keep the radius tight on purpose. A lead carpenter who can be on your site in half an hour is worth more than a wider map.

Outside these six neighbourhoods?
Call us anyway. If we cannot take the project we will usually know a bathroom-only firm near you who can.
