Best general contractors in Des Plaines

Work with Billdr-certified, licensed general contractors in Des Plaines

Finding a licensed and insured general contractor with a track record of high-quality work is essential to the success of your renovation project. We have a rigorous process to vet and certify every general contractor in our professional network. 

To become certified, general contractors must hold a valid general contractor license from the city, valid civil liability insurance of $2,000,000 or more from a qualified policy and provider, a minimum of two years of relevant experience, and supply references from former customers.

Beyond the paperwork, the Billdr team meets with each contractor on active job sites to observe the way they work and make sure they are a good fit for the Billdr network. As we get to know our partners, we build strong trust relationships.
