North Side Renovations
Company Overview
We are the most trusted remodeling company in Chicago, serving the northside since 2002.
We specialize in bathroom makeovers, tub fittings, tile installations, and walk-in showers, as well as kitchen, bedroom, and basement renovations. We are the licensed general contractors ready to bring your vision to life!
In addition to our focus on kitchens and bathrooms, we also handle drywall and painting, water damage restoration, basement upgrades, plumbing, electrical work, trim installations, and tile projects (including backsplashes and fireplace tiling). We serve Chicago and many nearby suburbs on the northside.
Effective communication is essential. We prefer to overcommunicate rather than risk undercommunication. I provide clients with a checklist and free detailed estimates, along with my number and my lead team's contact information, ensuring we stay aligned throughout your project!
We have a full-time staff committed to providing timely, skilled, and respectful service on every project we undertake. The cornerstone of our business is customer satisfaction. For seven years in a row, we have been proud recipients of the Angi customer super service award! Our dedication shows in our ratings, achieving 5 stars on Angi, Home Advisor, Google, and nearly 5 stars on Yelp!
In 2002, I launched my own venture after 13 years in the commercial and residential construction sector. I continue to work with many clients who helped me get started and have built a network of like-minded craftsmen (HVAC, flooring specialists, etc.) whom I trust for larger projects.
While we expand gradually, we emphasize quality workmanship and being on-site to guarantee efficiency and quality control. I named the company Northside to focus locally (and avoid traffic!), allowing us to effectively serve the North side of Chicago.
I was born in 1968, with a rich background of half Japanese and half Welsh/English/Irish/French ancestry. I completed my education at Von Steuben, attended Truman and Metro State College in Denver, and resided in Colorado from 1991 to 1999. I worked for Earthwood Builders from 1999 to 2002. I have two sisters and one brother (who is still living). Currently, I reside in the Rogers Park neighborhood of Chicago.

Recommended Customer Reviews
Wow. Seems Jeremy was upset about my review! I didn't add ANYTHING to the bid when he arrived or after. I gave him a printed out sheet that was given to everyone who was bidding the same exact full rehab project. I stand fully behind what I said. This person was totally uninterested, and I was promised a bid in a few days and didn't get it at all, let alone a follow up in a reasonable time. Yes, I was ready to hire and by the time he sent me some paltry email I had already hired someone else. Big deal! If you are too busy to get a new customer, then don't waste MY time and come to my home and pretend you want a job you don't want or are too busy to take on. Most people, including me, want the job to start NOW. If your crew is too small then either hire more people or don't complain, or decline the appointment that you are not taking jobs. I advised in the yelp questions that it was a rehab of a large property.
If other people had a good experience, then I am very happy for them and this company. I can only say that the vibe I got during the brief appointment was that he was not interested, and that he could not handle it, and he seemed nervous and entirely overwhelmed. Perhaps that was my interpretation but in any event, he NEVER gave me a bid.
ANY contractor who is hungry and wants business needs to get on it, give the bid and do what they have to do. If you are too busy to give bids then that really means he should decline the appointment, but don't blame the prospective customer. Not only that, if I had been in ANY way impressed, perhaps I would have waited. Perhaps I would have followed up many times and asked again and again for the bid.
We are very pleased with recent work done by Jeremy and his team. We needed and access door to our crawl space that was enclosed by remodelers. They worked efficiently to creat a door and also insulated the space. They finished the door nicely and all was done before we knew it! We had Jeremy assist our condo association in rebuilding common space walls after a flood and in both cases he was very responsive and took great care in making sure we got what we needed. Thank you Jeremy!
We really liked the work that North Side Renovations completed for us and I'd recommend them for future jobs.
We had two different water damage issues:
Due to condensation from a central pipe in our condo, the drywall in the ceiling of our kitchen started to peel away. We originally wanted to install a drip pan to preclude this from happening in the future. However, there wasn't enough room in the ceiling once the damaged areas were removed so the team pivoted and sprayed insulation on the piping, installed new insulation and drywall, and painted the ceiling. It looks as good as new!
In a separate room, we had our external water spigot burst the first time we turned it on after winter. In addition to replacing the insulation/drywall and painting, the team also replaced the damaged piping and spigot.
For both issues, the team did as good a job as they could of keeping covering our furniture with plastic sheeting or taping plastic sheeting to the walls so that the drywall dust didn't spread everywhere.
Overall, the team was in-and-out of our place in 2 days and both Jeremy and the 2-person team completing the work gave me updates as the work progressed or decisions had to be made. The work was completed as per the estimate, which was significantly lower than two other companies I got estimated from.
Walter J.Used Jeremy and the team for a master bathroom remodel. The price was fair and the team was totally professional. They did a great job with all aspects of the job, including demolition, painting, tiling, plumbing, and design. I really liked that they were able to see potential issues ahead of time and provide feedback on our design ideas.
The job took about two weeks total, which is about what they were estimating. The daily on-site team were not only hard workers, but were happy to answer our questions along the way.
Overall, I would highly recommend reaching out if you have a remodeling job.
We have been extremely happy with the work that Jeremy and his crew have done for us over the years. Painting, tracking down leaks and general repairs around the house -- Jeremy and his team can do it all. Very professional and easy to work with.
I can't say enough good things about Jeremy and the Northside Renovations team. Hey have done everything from small repairs to major remodeling for us and have always finished ahead of schedule and under estimate. His team is polite, professional and punctual. They explain what they are doing and always look for ways to make things more efficient. I had almost come to expect getting gouged or disappointed for this type of stuff bc of all the poor experiences I've had with other companies in this space, but Jeremy and team have earned my trust and have become my go-to resource for any work I need done for my home. Seriously, you can't go wrong with these guys.
Mary Beth B.I HIGHLY recommend the team from North Side Renovations. Jeremy came out to view the scope of the projects and then gave me an itemized quote so I could decide what was in my budget for my bathroom remodel. I appreciate he understood and respected I was on a budget.
Gerry and George (the contractors on my job) were amazing. They are honest, punctual, friendly, and highly skilled. They always had a solution to any ""remodel surprises."" Working full time through renovations is challenging but Gerry has very communicative via text if there were any issues and he was flexible in arriving early for the day so we could discuss any issues before I left for work.
After having terrible experiences with other handyman services and contractors I can definitely say George & Gerry are THE best! I'm already trying to book them to come back for other projects. Jeremy's quote was very reasonable compared to other companies for bathroom remodels.
J K.I've been using the guys at North Side Renovations for years and have had 2 kitchens remodeled and have always been happy with the results and the contractors doing the work have all been very knowledgeable and consistently considerate when living in a construction zone. They have also been able to trouble shoot some complex unexpected ""surprises"" which is so helpful when working on a old building, full of ""surprises"". So the gist of it...I love North Side Renovations...and I hate ""surprises""
Northside Renovations came in last year to save my bathroom remodel after another company did shoddy work. They did great work, were prompt and professional, and the whole process went smoothly. I love my bathroom now and I would hire them again!
Aeman A.Jeremy is one the best contractor out there, his very flixble & very responsible man. Did an amazing job renewing our kitchen from the top to the bottom. His recommendations are the best & look out for you budgets, work with you to make sure that you get the best deal out there that fits your budgets.
His crew (Jerry & George) are no different then him, they are very easy going crew, talented, helpful & most importantly they are very professionals when it comes to get the job done. They always made sure everything is 100%.
I highly recommend north side renovations & I look forward to work with Jeremy & his crew in future for anything I need to do in my condo!
