All 18 trades in one place, restoration, repair, remodeling, and maintenance for Chicago homeowners. Each trade has its own dedicated local line.
Nobody in Chicago wants eighteen contractors on speed dial. One number is enough. That's the whole idea of Rock Hands: plumbing, electrical, HVAC, roofing, restoration, remodeling and eleven more trades, one network, one fixed-right standard. One call, one dispatcher, no runaround.
Illinois swings from harsh winters to hot humid summers, with tornadoes in between, driving demand for heating and cooling, roofing, and storm damage repair. Our Chicago pros build every estimate around those realities, the right materials, the right timing, no surprises.
It works like this: choose a trade below, call its dedicated line, talk to a real dispatcher who matches you with a vetted local pro, and approve a free written estimate before work starts. Free estimates, upfront written pricing, vetted licensed pros, and one guarantee, if it isn't right, we make it right.
New in town or new to hiring contractors? Start with the most urgent trade, then save the number. Most Chicago homeowners who call us once end up calling back, the roof this year, the AC next summer, the bathroom the year after. One vetted roster for your whole home, one number away.

The trades Chicago homeowners call us for most, each with a dedicated local line.
Safe tree removal and expert care, when it matters most. Trees add beauty and value to your property, but dead limbs, overgrowth, and storm damage turn them into serious hazards.
Stuck garage door? Fixed today. Your garage door is the largest moving part of your home, and when a spring snaps or an opener dies, you're stuck, literally.
Brighter rooms, lower energy bills. Old, drafty windows are one of the biggest sources of energy waste in a home, and one of the most visible.
Tough siding that transforms your curb appeal. Siding is your home's first line of defense against weather, and its biggest visual surface.
The right dumpster, delivered on time. Every big project creates a mountain of debris, and hauling it yourself means endless truckloads, dump fees, and wasted weekends.
Clean, serviced portable restrooms, anywhere. Whether it's a months-long construction project or a single-day wedding, people need clean, reliable restrooms wherever they gather.
The fastest hire is usually the one you regret. A bad job costs twice, once to do it, once to fix it. Here's the checklist our dispatchers wish every Chicago, IL homeowner ran through before signing anything, built from the mistakes they hear about daily:
1. Verify the license, don't take their word for it. Ask for the license number and check it against Illinois's licensing records. Licensed pros have passed exams, carry required insurance, and can be held accountable. Unlicensed operators vanish when problems surface.
2. Demand proof of insurance. General liability and workers' comp, current and in force. If a worker gets hurt on your property and there's no coverage, the liability can land on you. A real pro shows certificates without blinking.
3. Get the scope and price in writing. Verbal quotes evaporate. Your written estimate should spell out exactly what's included, what isn't, the materials being used, and the timeline. Every Rock Hands estimate comes this way, free, before work starts.
4. Never pay the full amount upfront. A deposit for materials is normal on big jobs; full payment before completion is a red flag. Milestone-based payments tied to finished work keep everyone honest.
5. Ask about the final walkthrough. A pro confident in their work wants you inspecting it. Our fixed-right guarantee means the job isn't done until you sign off, and if something isn't right, we come back and make it right.
6. Check how they handle surprises. Every home hides something, old wiring, rotted subfloor, a previous owner's creative plumbing. Ask upfront how change-orders work: are you notified before extra cost is incurred, and do you approve it in writing? Pros who answer clearly have done this before. Pros who dodge the question haven't, or worse, they profit from the ambiguity.
