Common questions
What homeowners ask before they call.
Quick answers about scope, pricing, scheduling, and what makes MK different from a typical handyman service.
How big of a project do you take on?
MK is a one-person operation by design. The sweet spot is single-room remodels — a kitchen update, a bathroom rebuild, a tile install, or a careful punch-list. Whole-house gut renovations are not the right fit, but most kitchen and bath projects are.
Do you provide written estimates?
Yes. After a walk-through, you get a written estimate with the scope, materials, schedule, and price before any work begins. No surprise charges at the end.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes — licensed and insured for residential home improvement work in Illinois. Documentation is available on request before the project starts.
What towns do you serve?
Crystal Lake, Cary, Algonquin, Lake in the Hills, McHenry, Woodstock, Huntley, Barrington, Fox River Grove, and most communities within about 30 miles of Crystal Lake, IL.
How long does a kitchen or bathroom remodel take?
Most bathroom remodels run 2–4 weeks of active work. Kitchen remodels typically run 3–6 weeks depending on cabinet lead times and scope. A clear schedule is part of every written estimate.
Can you work with materials I’ve already picked?
Absolutely. If you have tile, fixtures, cabinets, or hardware you’ve sourced yourself, MK will install them. Where helpful, MK can also recommend trusted local suppliers.
