Chicagoland's home improvement project management company.
Lake & Oak Co. coordinates a vetted network of Chicagoland trade specialists across six services: HVAC, roofing, bathroom remodels, painting, flooring, and finish trim. Customers pay one company, work with one project lead, and get one warranty across every trade their home needs.
We are not pretending to employ every specialist who shows up at your house. What we are is the single point of accountability that most renovations are missing.
Most Chicago homes need four trades. Most contractors offer one.
A typical Chicagoland renovation involves paint, flooring, a bathroom refresh, and often something on the mechanical side — HVAC or a roof that's aged out. The pure-play roofer can replace the roof but won't touch the drywall ceiling damage underneath. The painter doesn't coordinate with the flooring crew. You end up the project manager of your own home, chasing five different phone numbers.
Lake & Oak Co. is the answer to that. One quote covers the whole project. One project lead owns the schedule. One warranty covers the result.
Specialists in every trade, project-managed under one roof.
We do not employ roofers or HVAC techs directly — and we say so openly. Trades go deep on their craft when they specialize. What we bring is the layer above: vetting partners, coordinating schedules, sequencing work so the painter doesn't show up before the drywall is dry, and standing behind the result with our warranty.
Every trade partner is license-verified, insured, and has cleared our reference check. Margins live in the project management — not in marking up bargain labor.
Three principles we won't compromise on.
We coordinate, we do not subcontract blindly.
Every trade partner in our network has been vetted, license-verified, and insured. We have worked with them, watched their punch lists close, and only stay with the ones that hit our standard. The network is the product — not a black box.
One project lead from start to finish.
Your project lead is the single phone number for the whole job — quote, schedule, daily check-ins, walkthrough, warranty. No "we will get back to you," no being handed between contractors.
Warranty lives with us, not with a name on a truck.
If something is wrong after the job, you call us. We fix it. Most general contractors point you back at the trade. We do not.
