How We Operate as Your GC
As your general contractor, Turn Key is the single point of accountability for your entire project.

Design-Build Advantage

Our three-phase process (discovery, design, construction) means every decision is finalized and priced before demolition starts. No guesswork, no allowances that balloon, no change orders from incomplete planning.
Material selections happen at our Lombard showroom. Read more about why homeowners choose Turn Key.
