How do I request an estimate?

What areas does SHAY Construction serve?
The company is based in Antioch and serves nearby communities across northern Lake County, eastern McHenry County, and the Illinois–Wisconsin border area. Project availability is confirmed by address.
What should I bring to the first project conversation?
Bring the property location, a description of what is not working, your priorities, any measurements or photos you have, and inspiration that shows the direction you like. A finished design is not required to start.
Can SHAY Construction help connect several rooms in one scope?
Yes. Connected rooms can be evaluated together so flooring, trim, color, lighting, openings, cabinetry, and trade sequencing work as one renovation.
Does every inquiry automatically become an estimate?
No. The first step is to review the project type, location, existing conditions, timing, and requested scope. SHAY Construction will then explain the appropriate next step.
How are project timelines determined?
The schedule depends on scope, site conditions, decisions, material lead times, trade sequencing, approvals, and current availability. A project-specific timeline is discussed after the work is sufficiently defined.
Can renovation work be divided into phases?
Some projects can be phased. The team will consider how the phases affect access, temporary conditions, repeated setup, finish transitions, and the most practical construction sequence.
Who confirms local permit requirements?
Permit and approval requirements depend on the property and scope. SHAY Construction reviews project-specific requirements as planning advances, while the authority having jurisdiction makes the final determination.
Have A Different Question?
