CASE STUDY
Location: Wauconda Road, Wauconda, IL
Timeline: March – June 2025
Project Type: Full exterior renovation — siding, trim, windows, doors, and lighting on a two-story, 2,700 sq. ft. home
Project Value: $46,250
They wanted their home to look fresh, warm, and timeless, but they also needed something more: a contractor they could actually trust.
Megan filled out our website form, and within an hour I gave her a call. That quick response immediately set a different tone. When we explained our $350 paid consultation model — a thorough inspection, professional design guidance, and full credit if the project moved forward — it didn’t scare them off. In fact, Megan told us, “It actually made us trust you more.”
From there, we scheduled Zoom calls so we could talk through ideas. Megan leaned into the design direction — showing us colors and styles she loved — while Martin focused on durability and long-term maintenance. That balance between creativity and practicality became the foundation of the project.
We started with a detailed on-site inspection. Megan greeted me at the door with the consultation fee in hand and said, “I appreciate you being upfront. It made us take this more seriously.”
The inspection uncovered a few issues, including wood rot around the windows. Instead of surprising them later, we documented everything, shared photos, and explained the costs clearly. For example, when we found the rot, we texted: “4 hrs @ $75 + $200 materials.” Within an hour, Megan replied, “Please proceed.” That transparency built confidence throughout the process.
These choices created the cottage-inspired look Megan envisioned — warm, charming, and low-maintenance.
This project really highlighted the people-side of our business.

Yes — two Mariusz’s and two Marks on one project. What could have been confusing turned into an ongoing joke between us and the homeowners. Martin even told coworkers about it: “They think I’m making it up!
And emotionally, the difference was clear. At the final walkthrough, Megan said: “It’s perfect. It’s exactly what I envisioned but even better.”
