Frequently asked
Questions worth answering
Straight answers, including the ones that cost us work.
Do you handle all of it in a single visit?
Wherever the scope allows, yes — that is the whole point of Windy Shore. One call, one pro, several jobs handled in one visit, instead of scheduling three different contractors and waiting through three different windows.
What painting and drywall work do you do?
Interior painting of walls, ceilings, trim and doors, plus drywall patching and repair — from anchor holes and dents to damaged sections cut out, replaced and refinished. The prep is done properly so repairs do not show through the new paint.
Are you licensed and insured?
Windy Shore Home Services is licensed and insured. Every job is handled with the proper credentials, so you never have to wonder who is working in your home.
Do you install doors and flooring?
Yes. Interior doors (pre-hung or slab), closet and bifold doors, and storm and screen doors, along with the trim and casing around them. For flooring, laminate, luxury vinyl plank and engineered wood, with the baseboard taken off and put back afterwards.
What counts as a small remodel?
A room refresh rather than a rebuild: new flooring, drywall repair, paint, doors and trim, done together as one project. Full kitchen and bathroom remodels, structural changes, and any electrical or plumbing work go to licensed trades — and Joe will tell you which parts those are before anything is booked.
How quickly will I hear back?
The same day. Joe personally responds to every inquiry — calls, texts and form submissions all reach him directly, not a call center.
Which towns do you cover?
Currently 36 towns across Cook and Lake County, covering Chicago’s North Shore from Wilmette up to Lake Bluff and west as far as Barrington. If you are just outside that, ask anyway.
Still not sure? Just ask.
One call covers it all. Joe handles the list so you don’t have to.
