About Us | Icon Construction & Remodeling Inc

Icon Construction team on an active Chicago project site

Chicago's General Contractor Since 2013

Icon Construction & Remodeling Inc was founded in Chicago with a straightforward mission: deliver honest, high-quality construction work to homeowners who deserve better than what too many contractors offer. Since opening our doors at 212 North Carpenter St, we have completed more than 110 projects across Chicago's neighborhoods — from Wicker Park and Logan Square to Lincoln Park and Bridgeport.

We are a fully licensed and insured general contractor in the State of Illinois. Every project we take on is personally managed by an experienced supervisor, fully permitted through the City of Chicago, and built to last. Our 5-star Google rating across 110 reviews reflects a consistent commitment to communication, quality, and keeping our word.

We specialize in kitchen renovations, home additions, basement finishing, bathroom remodels, and full interior overhauls. Whether your home is a classic Chicago bungalow, a two-flat in Pilsen, or a newer construction in the West Loop, our team has the expertise to execute your vision with precision.

"When I started Icon Construction, I made a simple promise to every client: I will treat your home the way I would treat my own. That means showing up on time, being straight about costs, and not cutting corners when you're not looking. More than ten years in, that promise hasn't changed — and I don't plan to change it."

Our Core Values

The principles that guide every decision we make on every project in Chicago.

Uncompromising Honesty

We tell you what a project will realistically cost, how long it will take, and what challenges to expect — before we start, not after. No hidden fees, no inflated change orders.

Craftsmanship First

We do not rush. Every joint, tile, and finish is inspected before moving to the next phase. The quality of our work is what brings clients back and earns us referrals throughout Chicago.

Respect for Your Home

We treat your property with the same care we would our own. Job sites are kept clean, your belongings are protected, and we minimize disruption to your daily life throughout the build.
