Handyman tips for Northfield homes
Northfield incorporated in 1926 as Wau Bun and took its current name in 1927. Its population grew from 1,426 in 1950 to 4,005 in 1960, so expect many mid-century houses. The Village's home improvement guide asks for a plat of survey with every permit application, even for interior remodeling, and lists wall partitions, plumbing, electrical work, and windows or doors that change size among permit work. Patching a driveway needs none. Work started without a permit can be stopped and fined. The village also hosts office employers such as Medline and the College of American Pathologists. We handle drywall, doors, painting, fixtures, trim, TV mounting and assembly for homes and offices.

Quick answers
Does Northfield require contractors to be registered?
Not for general work under an approved permit, according to the Village's January 2022 home improvement guide. Plumbers are the exception: the Village wants their State of Illinois registration, plumber's license and a notarized Letter of Intent. The guide is dated, so confirm with Community Development and Building at (847) 784-3551.
Do small repairs need a permit in Northfield?
Some do. The Village says permits are required for most construction, and its list includes wall partitions, plumbing, electrical work, and windows or doors added or changed in size. Painting is not on the list, but the list is not complete, so call (847) 784-3551 before starting.

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.
