Company History
The business started when Jacek (Jack) moved from Poland and settled in the area. He began with small carpentry jobs and simple plumbing calls. Over time, steady work and word-of-mouth grew the business into a local firm handling remodels, emergency plumbing, and flooring installs.
Growth has been measured and practical. The company kept close ties to customers rather than expanding quickly. That approach fits older homes in the region, where careful repair beats quick replacements.
Leadership
Owner Jacek (Jack) leads field work and client conversations. He brings years of hands-on experience and keeps work practical and honest. Jack is active in the local community and aims to be a dependable neighbor for clients across Chicago and Kankakee-area towns.
