ISH Contractors

ISH Contractors handles complete remodeling projects—from kitchens and bathrooms to flooring, plumbing, electrical work, painting and custom carpentry. Their approach keeps one team on your project from start to finish. The company offers a free in-home consultation to measure, review materials and provide a quote.

All work comes with a 1-year labor guarantee. The team maintains clean job sites, separating debris and removing it to appropriate recycling facilities. They serve the Chicagoland area and are open Monday through Friday, 6 AM to 6 PM.

General contractors in Illinois must hold a state license. Before hiring, verify the contractor's license through the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation. The City of Chicago's Department of Buildings also maintains contractor license records and permit information that you can access to confirm a firm's standing.

Most remodeling work in Chicago requires permits from the Department of Buildings. Your contractor should handle or coordinate permits as part of the job. Ask whether the contractor obtains permits, covers permit fees, and manages inspections throughout the project.

When you call a contractor, confirm they understand local building codes for your scope of work—whether kitchens, bathrooms, electrical, plumbing or structural changes. Clarify whether they self-perform the work or subcontract portions, and ask for a detailed written estimate and timeline.
