ABOUT
Residential remodeling with a clear, organized approach.
Who We Are
We’re here to help you
every step of the way.
Building Encore is a residential remodeling and general contracting company serving Chicago and the surrounding suburbs.
We handle projects ranging from small improvements to full home renovations, offering professional oversight and a structured approach at every stage.
We assist homeowners throughout the entire process—from initial consultation and project planning to design coordination and permit support.
Our goal is to integrate all aspects of a project into one clear, organized process, so homeowners feel supported and confident from start to finish.
Through years of working with clients, we’ve learned what matters most in a remodeling project: attention to detail from day one, respect for the home during construction, and clear, consistent communication. We take measures to protect the entire home during work and focus on delivering a clean, finished result down to the last detail.
Building Encore was founded by Greg
with the aim of raising the standard of residential remodeling. His focus on quality, organization, and accountability helps ensure projects stay on budget, progress as planned, and are finished within agreed timelines—so clients feel reassured throughout the process.
Our Beginning
Building Encore was founded on a simple observation: homeowners value structure, clarity, and thoughtful guidance as much as quality construction.
Over the years of working on residential projects of varying scales — from focused interior renovations to complex, multi-phase builds — it became clear that what clients appreciate most is not only the final result but also the experience throughout the process.
Clear expectations. Consistent communication.
Well-defined decisions made at the right time.
When those elements are in place, projects feel calm, predictable, and well managed — regardless of size or complexity.
Building Encore was founded to deliver that kind of experience.
The company is built around the belief that remodeling should feel deliberate and organized, with careful planning, coordinated execution, and respect for both the client and the home.
Our focus is on giving each project the attention it deserves, allowing us to work closely with our clients and build lasting relationships rooted in trust, consistency, and care.
Our Approach
Clear Planning
We define scope, expectations, and key decisions early to keep the project organized from the very beginning.
Respect for the Home
We protect your home throughout construction and maintain a clean, controlled job site.
Structured Execution
Every stage of the work is coordinated through a step-by-step process.
Open Communication
Clients stay informed at every stage through consistent, transparent communication.
Design & Planning
Great projects don’t start with construction — they start with clear thinking.
​
At Building Encore, design and planning are treated as a critical foundation, not an afterthought.
Before any work begins, we focus on understanding your goals, the project scope, and the constraints of space, budget, and timeline.
​
Design is developed in collaboration with a select group of trusted designers and architects with whom we have long-standing working relationships.
This model allows each project to be paired with the right design partner — based on style, complexity, and expectations — rather than applying a one-size-fits-all approach.
​
Our role is to bridge the gap between design and construction.
We review concepts with a builder’s eye, help identify potential issues early, and ensure that plans are realistic, buildable, and aligned with the overall investment.
​​
The result is a smoother process, fewer surprises, and a project that moves forward with confidence — long before construction begins. Every decision made here sets the tone for everything that follows.
Project Management
Who We Work With
Project management at Building Encore begins before construction ever starts.
Each project is carefully mapped out and presented to the client as a clear, structured plan — outlining the full scope of work, key milestones, and realistic expectations from start to finish.
We understand that remodeling is a major investment and can be stressful for homeowners. Our responsibility is to keep the process moving smoothly, protect the timeline, and minimize disruptions
— so the project stays on track, and each stage is clearly defined from start to finish.
The quality of any project depends on the people behind it.
Building Encore collaborates with a trusted team of skilled craftsmen, designers, and architects with whom we have established long-term professional relationships. These are partners we know, trust, and depend on — not just for their expertise, but for their consistency, responsibility, and attention to detail.
By working with professionals who share our standards, we ensure that every part of the project is executed at the highest level
— resulting in a finished product that reflects care, craftsmanship, and long-term value.
