Valera Contracting Chicago IL

Business Overview

Valera Contracting Chicago IL is a local contracting firm that handles electrical, plumbing, and general remodeling work for homes and small businesses. They keep regular hours Monday–Saturday (7:00 AM–5:00 PM) and offer emergency call-outs outside those hours for urgent electrical or plumbing issues.

The crew is a small team of licensed electricians, plumbers, and carpenters. They take on both residential projects and light commercial jobs, from single-room bathroom updates to electrical inspections for storefronts.

Key Services

• Electric inspection — safety checks, code compliance, and repair recommendations.
• Plumbing inspection — leak detection, drain checks, and winter-readiness for older pipes.
• Kitchen and bathroom remodeling — design support, fixtures, and finishing.
• General contracting — permits, project coordination, and skilled trades.

Areas Served

The company is based in Chicago and serves neighborhoods across the city, with a focused service area in Douglas, IL. They also travel to nearby South Side neighborhoods and will schedule work in surrounding suburbs when needed.

Company History

Valera Contracting began as a one-person trade shop in the late 2000s. The founder started by doing electrical service calls for older Chicago homes. Over the years, demand for remodeling and bundled trades grew, and the business expanded to include plumbing and general contracting services.

Growth came through repeat clients and neighborhood referrals. The firm kept a steady pace, adding licensed staff and investing in training and tools suited for Chicago’s brick houses and winter weather challenges.

Leadership

The company is led by Carlos Valera, who has more than 20 years in the trades. Carlos grew up working on home projects and later earned his electrical and contracting credentials. He remains hands-on with projects and is active in local permit processes and trade groups.

Leadership focuses on practical solutions that fit neighborhood homes. They attend community meetings when projects touch local blocks and often advise homeowners on preparing plumbing and electrical systems for freeze-thaw cycles common in Chicago.

Specialties & Highlights

• Experience with older Chicago housing stock — knob-and-tube updates and service panel replacements.
• Combined inspections — clients can get both electrical and plumbing checks in one visit.
• Remodel-ready coordination — they handle permits and link clients with trusted local subcontractors.
• Seasonal readiness work — winterizing pipes and preparing heating-related electrical systems.
