General Contractor in Lombard

When Lombard homeowners need a general contractor, they want someone they can trust inside their home. Someone who shows up when they say they will, communicates clearly, and delivers work that holds up years later. Turn Key Designs is a licensed general contractor based right here in Lombard at 219 S Main Street. We are not a franchise or a lead-generation company that sells your information to whoever answers. We are Courtney and Andrew, our team, and a reputation built one project at a time in this community.

What a General Contractor Does

A general contractor is the single point of accountability on a construction project. We hold the contracts with every subcontractor (electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, tile setters, painters), schedule their work in the correct sequence, ensure quality standards are met, and manage the budget and timeline. When you hire Turn Key as your GC, you deal with one team and one project manager, not a rotating cast of tradespeople with no coordination.

The Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation oversees general contractor licensing in the state. Our team holds all required licenses, and our subcontractors are licensed, insured, and vetted through years of working together.

Projects We Manage

• Kitchen remodeling: full gut renovations, layout changes, custom cabinetry, countertop installation, and appliance integration
• Bathroom remodeling: walk-in showers, tub-to-shower conversions, tile work, and plumbing upgrades
• Home additions: room additions, second-story additions, and garage conversions
• Whole-home renovations: phased projects coordinating multiple rooms and systems
• Basement finishing: bedrooms, recreation rooms, home offices, and full bathrooms below grade
• Flooring installation: hardwood, luxury vinyl plank, laminate, and tile
• Structural modifications: load-bearing wall removal, beam installation, and foundation work

How We Are Different

Most general contractors provide a labor estimate and manage the build. Turn Key Designs does that and more, because we are also a design-build firm. Our in-house design team creates layouts, selects materials, and produces 3D renderings before construction begins. This means every detail is decided, specified, and priced before we pick up a hammer. The result: fewer change orders, faster timelines, and a final product that matches what you approved in the design phase.

Our three-phase process (discovery, design, construction) is designed to eliminate the most common sources of homeowner frustration. Read more about why homeowners choose Turn Key over traditional contractors.

Permits and Inspections

Most construction projects in Lombard require permits from the Village of Lombard Building Division. As your general contractor, we handle all permit applications, schedule every inspection, and ensure the work meets the Illinois Plumbing Code, the International Residential Code, and all locally adopted building standards. You never need to visit Village Hall.

Choosing a General Contractor

Not all general contractors operate the same way. Some provide vague estimates that balloon once work begins. Others subcontract everything and disappear between site visits. Our guide on how to choose a general contractor in Illinois covers what to look for, what questions to ask, and what red flags to avoid.
