Our story

Craftsmanship,
Honesty & Heart.

For over a decade, Home Renewal Works has been the most trusted name for Chicago homeowners who demand quality without excuses.

Craftsmanship

Building trust, one room at a time

Home Renewal Works was founded in 2014 by veteran contractor Mike Santori, who believed that home renovation didn’t have to be stressful, unpredictable, or overpriced. Starting with small kitchen updates in Lincoln Park, we’ve grown into a full-service firm that handles everything from bathroom refreshes to whole-home structural renewals.

What hasn’t changed? Our obsession with detail, transparent pricing, and genuine care for the families we work with. We’re not the biggest crew in Chicago — we’re simply the most reliable.

Today, our team includes licensed carpenters, plumbers, electricians, and project managers who show up on time, communicate clearly, and take pride in every square foot they touch.

What drives us

We follow a simple code: respect your home, respect your budget, respect your timeline.

Radical transparency Craftsmanship first Fixed-price guarantee Eco-conscious materials No subcontractor chaos
