Handyman tips for Deerfield homes
Deerfield was first settled in 1835 and incorporated in 1903, and the Village publishes a one-page chart of when a permit is needed. A patch or surface repair to a wall, painting, an in-kind light fixture swap, and a single plumbing fixture replaced in kind do not need one when done on their own. Moving or replacing drywall, new light fixtures, and kitchen or bath work, even cosmetic replacement, do. Exterior changes in the downtown Village Center that need a building permit also go through the Appearance Review Commission first. We handle drywall patches, doors, painting, fixtures, trim, TV mounting and assembly, plus repairs for offices, shops and restaurants.

Quick answers
Do I need a permit for drywall repair in Deerfield?
Not for a patch or surface repair. Deerfield's permit chart says patching a wall needs no permit, while moving, installing or replacing drywall does. Kitchen and bath work needs one even for cosmetic in-kind replacement. The chart is a guideline only, so call the Building Division at 847-719-7484 about your specific job.
Does Deerfield require contractors to register?
For certain trades, yes. Since January 1, 2023, Deerfield uses annual online registration with a surety bond instead of licensing. Trades listed include general, electrical, plumbing, irrigation, roofing, excavation, concrete and sewer contractors. The Village says registration depends on the scope of work, so ask the Building Division at 847-719-7484.
Do you serve all of Deerfield (60015)?
Yes. We work anywhere in Deerfield, ZIP code 60015, for homes and businesses, including the downtown shops. Commercial work includes offices, retail stores, restaurants, medical and dental offices, and property managers. Text photos of the job and the address to (847) 877-1877 and we will reply with next steps.
Who does plumbing, electrical and roofing in Deerfield?
Licensed independent contractors, not us. Deerfield's remodel checklist asks for the electrician's Illinois electrical license and the plumber's State plumbing license numbers, and its chart says new electrical and plumbing work needs a permit. We handle the drywall, painting, trim and door work before and after those trades.

What our customers say
Ed was excellent to work with — professional, skilled, patient, and just genuinely helpful. He installed a mantel, mounted my steer horns, helped place artwork, and even assisted with swapping out a TV, all while being mindful of my budget and the hourly scope. Everything was done with care and precision, and the finished wall looks amazing. What I especially appreciated was that he didn’t just do the work - he shared helpful tips (like a painter’s tape trick for hanging my remaining gallery pieces myself), which I really valued as a homeowner. He took pride in getting things right, communicated clearly, and even stayed a little longer to make sure everything was done well. Reliable, knowledgeable, respectful, and a pleasure to work with. I’d absolutely recommend ED and and would gladly request him again
...completed some much needed repairs around our garage door frame as well as the front door to our home. It required some heavy carpentry work. The completed job looked much better than the original and he did not cut corners on the products used either. Extremely skilled, a strategic problem solver, and a craftsman quality finish was far more than what I expected to get — in addition to very friendly, knowledgeable, and far beyond competent service A++ will use again in the future and recommend to anyone seeing repairs.
...was great with communication and service. He installed shower curtain rods for us and fixed our install mishap. He ensured to ask our thoughts and preferences along the way. Very professional and fairly priced. Highly recommend !
Consultation went great. Worked out some details to give a bigger picture and work to be started soon Update on completion. Installation went amazing. Looks exactly how I wanted it to look and the tech Chris was amazing and willing to do anything I was asking. Any issues he was willing to work with me on and made the process pleasant. Thanks again.
We had the front door repainted both inside and out, and the weather stripping replaced. I was happy with their service and feel they were very honest and professional.
