Handyman tips for Glenview homes
Glenview incorporated in 1899, but most of its growth came later. The Edens Expressway opened in 1951, and the Village says the postwar baby boom replaced farmland with new streets, homes and parks. After Naval Air Station Glenview closed in 1995, the site became The Glen, so the village mixes mid-century neighborhoods with newer ones. The Village's permit list helps with small jobs: single-family painting, interior trim, flooring, cabinets with no layout change, and TV, camera and doorbell wiring need no permit, while drywall replacement is a permit type and moving plumbing fixtures needs one. We handle drywall, doors, painting, fixtures, trim, TV mounting and assembly for homes, shops and offices.

Quick answers
Do I need a permit for small repairs in Glenview?
It depends on the job. Glenview lists single-family interior and exterior painting, interior trim, flooring, and cabinets with no layout change as work that needs no permit. Drywall replacement and moving plumbing fixtures do need one. For a patch or anything not listed, call the Development Center at (847) 904-4330 first.
Does Glenview require contractors to register?
Some do. Glenview requires general and demolition contractors to register with the Village, with a bond and insurance on file. Roofers, electricians and plumbers provide copies of their licenses instead, and contractor types not listed on the Village's table do not need to register. Questions go to (847) 904-4330.
Do you serve all of Glenview (60025)?
Yes. We work throughout Glenview, ZIP code 60025, including addresses that use the neighboring ZIP code 60026. 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 handles plumbing, electrical and roofing in Glenview?
Licensed independent contractors, not us. Glenview asks roofers for a State roofing license, plumbers for a State 055 license and a letter of intent, and electricians for a copy of their license. New electrical work also needs a permit. We handle the drywall, painting, doors and trim around 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.
