Common Worry How CHR Solves It
"The quote ballooned after work started." Clear, itemised pricing up front, no sneaky line items.
"I never knew when crews would show.” Owner-led communication. John calls, texts, and shows up on site.
“The project dragged on for months.” Commitment to the schedule. We set milestones and stick to them.
“Contractors promise anything to land the job.” 35 years and 420 projects say otherwise.

Family-owned pride means we treat your house like our own

CHR isn’t a faceless business. John and Helen Chioros still run the show, just like they did back in 1990.

From the moment we kick off your project:

  • You deal with the owners, not an endless chain of middlemen.
  • Site visits are personal. John and his team walk the space, answer questions, and spot issues early.
  • Craftsmanship over shortcuts. Our crew would rather re-cut a board than “make it fit.”


That pride helped us earn a Quality Business Award with a customer-satisfaction score above 95 percent.

Transparent project timelines that stick

A realistic calendar (and sticking to it) turns renovation stress into renovation excitement.

  1. Materials before demo – no gutted kitchen while we “wait on cabinets.”
  2. Permits handled – we navigate local regulations so you don’t have to.
  3. Milestone walk-throughs – you approve before we close up walls.


If weather or supply hiccups appear, you hear about it before it becomes a problem, not the week after.

Real building projects, real proof

Nothing tells the story like finished spaces and the words of the owners who live in them.

“We cannot convey in words how GREAT working with John at CHR Contractors was. There are plenty of contractors around and even fewer I would call ‘good.’ John is a GREAT one. We cannot recommend him enough.” Robert Miller, Naperville, Illinois
