About Us

Welcome to Honest Remodeling

Where Craftsmanship Meets Integrity

We’re Michaela and Gabriel, the husband-and-wife team behind Honest Renovations. After years of designing and building custom home theaters and professional recording studios in Austin, Texas, we made the move to Elgin, Illinois to put down new roots — and bring our passion for high-quality, thoughtful design with us.

What started as a specialized focus in high-performance spaces has grown into a full-service home renovation and handyman business. We’ve expanded our offerings to meet the needs of local homeowners looking for everything from full remodels to minor repairs — all with the same care, precision, and honesty we’ve always stood by.

At Honest Remodeling, our mission is simple: deliver exceptional results without the sales pressure or inflated prices. We believe in clear communication, clean work, and doing things the right way — whether we’re remodeling a kitchen, building custom shelving, or checking off a list of small fixes around the house.

As a small, family-owned business, we’re proud to offer a more personal approach to home improvement. You won’t find layers of contractors or cookie-cutter solutions here. Just a dedicated duo who take pride in our craft and care about your home as much as you do.

Thanks for stopping by — we look forward to helping you make your space truly yours.
