Remodeling, Construction & Restoration in Cortland, IL

Cortland is a small DeKalb County town surrounded by farmland, with an older original section and a considerable amount of newer residential building around it. A large share of the housing went up during the 2000s, which puts those homes at the age where the original builder finishes are worn and the first round of exterior components is due. That is the bulk of what a remodeler gets called about here.

Nothing about that work is exotic, and that is rather the point. Kitchens with original cabinets and laminate tops. Baths with fiberglass units and builder vanities. Unfinished basements with the rough-in already stubbed in the slab. Decks built on undersized footings. Roofs on their first replacement and gutters that never matched the roof area. We do the interior and the exterior, so one crew and one schedule can cover the whole list.

Open farmland on every side means weather reaches these houses without much to break it. Hail, straight-line wind and driven rain find roofs, siding and window flashing; winter puts ice at the eaves of under-insulated attics. JGN handles roofing, siding, gutters and insulation, and as a direct contractor for national restoration companies we take the rebuild work after serious water, fire or storm damage too.
