Plan this project

Start with the building and the repair.

Chicago’s historic residential buildings include two-flats and row houses. For a project in a multi-unit building, explain which floor needs work, the route from the entrance, and whether a shared hallway or stairway must stay clear. A close-up of the repair and a wider room photo give different, useful details.

Local context: Chicago Landmarks: Giles-Calumet District.

Patch a wall after a move

Count the holes, show the wall surface, and say whether the job includes sanding and paint. If the surface is plaster rather than drywall, make that clear before agreeing on the repair.

See the service guide

Hang shelves or a TV

Include the item dimensions, bracket, and a photo of the mounting wall. Note brick or other visible masonry so the pro can discuss the attachment method before work starts.

See the service guide

Finish an apartment setup

List each furniture item, include model or instruction links, and note the floor and carrying route. Say whether the boxes are already in the room where assembly will happen.

A useful post starts with a few details.

1. Room and surface
Name the room and identify drywall, plaster, tile, or visible brick. Add dimensions and photos of the issue rather than assuming the same repair works on every surface.
2. Access and arrival
Include the floor, stairs or elevator, entry arrangements, and any building work-hour rules. Discuss unloading and parking before setting an appointment.
3. A defined finish
Decide whether “done” includes paint matching, cleanup, old-part removal, or packaging disposal. Separate each task so the agreed scope is easy to review.

Describe your project

Include the repair and your ZIP code above. You can add photos and finish the details when you post.

Planning a project in Chicago?

What should I include for a Chicago apartment or two-flat?

Describe the repair, room, wall or fixture material, and unit floor. Add photos and any stairs, elevator, entry, or building scheduling details. Arrange access privately with the pro you select.

Can I combine a few small repairs in one project?

Yes. List each task separately with photos and materials you already have. Discuss whether one pro is a fit for the complete list and agree on the full scope and price before work begins.

How soon will a Chicago pro respond?

Interested pros respond when available. Response availability varies with the location, project, timing, and individual service areas. A project post does not guarantee a response or appointment.

When do I agree on the price and pay?

Discuss the project, materials, qualifications, scope, and price with the pro before work begins. Online payment comes after you confirm completion. Cash payments can also be recorded with the job.
