Insulating Troubles in Chicagoland
Jake,
We are converting our screened-in porch (12x13 ft. on the existing 4 ft. deep concrete slab) into a 3-season room (with insulated windows, 3 ft. wall, and an insulated door.)

1960’s Home Remodeled to Enhance and Update its Original Personality
We recently completed a remodeling project in which we updated an entire home that was built in 1964. This home had never been modernized since it was built, so it had a great personality reflective of the early 60’s.
