Our 27 Towns, Grouped by Where They Sit
New floors and recoats for garages, basements and businesses in Chicago and 26 suburbs across Cook, DuPage, Will and Lake County, Illinois. The towns are grouped below by direction from the city, with a note on the age of their homes (Census American Community Survey 2020–2024), since a slab's age decides more of the prep than its town name. Every garage floor is diamond ground, and every slab gets a moisture check.
Chicago
Chicago has some of the oldest housing in our area: the median home dates from 1953 and nearly four in ten were built before 1940. More than 80,000 brick bungalows and 76,000 two-flats sit over full basements, with detached garages off some 1,900 miles of alleys. Slabs that old take the most grinding and crack filling, so a city estimate starts with a close look at the concrete.
North and Northwest Suburbs: Cook and Lake County
Arlington Heights (median home built 1974) and Schaumburg (1979) anchor the northwest, with Hoffman Estates, Elk Grove Village, Mount Prospect, Des Plaines and Park Ridge between them and the city. North toward the lake sit Evanston (median 1953) and Glenview; Buffalo Grove straddles the Lake and Cook County line, and Hanover Park sits across the Cook and DuPage line. Mostly 1960s to 1980s attached garages, stained and tired rather than broken: a good fit for a flake resurface.
West Suburbs: DuPage County
Addison (median home built 1972) and Lisle (1983), the Arboretum Village, plus Elmhurst, Downers Grove, Glendale Heights and Carol Stream, out along the Eisenhower, I-88 and Route 53. Naperville (1990), the largest of them, sits in both DuPage and Will County. Mostly 1960s to 1990s attached garages, still waiting for a first real floor.
Near-West Suburbs: Oak Park, Cicero and Berwyn
Oak Park, IL, Cicero and Berwyn border the city's West Side. Oak Park has the oldest housing in our area, with six in ten homes built before 1940, and all three are resurfacing territory: grinding, crack filling and a moisture check before any color goes down.
South and Southwest Suburbs: Cook and Will County
Orland Park, Calumet City and Chicago Heights in south Cook County, and Bolingbrook and Lockport across the line in Will County. Attached garages, basements and a fair share of warehouse and shop floors; each one is quoted after a site visit.
