Castro Construction & Design builds entire projects — concept to completion. Developer, builder, and general contractor with upscale project management systems.
Your project, one accountable partner. New construction, additions, and full renovations — residential and commercial. Kitchens and basements are services we do. They are not the ceiling of what we do.
One partner owns the project from the first drawing to the final walkthrough. No finger-pointing between trades — there's one name on it: ours.
Written updates with photos. Calls returned within two business hours. And no work without a signed change order. Ever.
Six assurances attached to every proposal — fixed price, communication, schedule recovery, clean site, a 2-year workmanship warranty, and punch-list sign-off before final payment.
Every dollar you spend with us is credited toward the next step — your money is never wasted, it just moves you up.
Feasibility, budget reality-check, and your GC roadmap — with a written recap.
Line-item estimate, defined scope, allowances, and timeline projection.
Budgeting, plans coordination, permit guidance, and schedule build-out.
Managed daily under The Castro Standard, with weekly written updates and photos.
Final payment only after your sign-off. The last detail matters as much as the first.
Attached to every proposal before work begins. This is what "accountable" actually means.
The scope is defined line by line, and the price is locked. If you change the scope, you sign a change order first — otherwise the price doesn't move.
Written updates with photos. Calls returned within two business hours. You always know what's happening, what's next, and what it costs.
If we fall behind for reasons within our control, we recover at our cost — overtime, extra crew, whatever it takes.
Broom-clean every day. Dust contained, materials staged, your home treated like it's ours — because our name is on it.
Two full years on our workmanship. If our work fails, we come back and fix it. Free. No arguments, no fine print games.
We walk every inch together at the end. You don't pay the final dollar until the last detail is done and signed off.
The Castro Assurances are presented as written commitments. Contract terms incorporating these assurances should be reviewed by an Illinois construction attorney before reliance.
Pay online in under a minute — no account needed, receipt automatic. Every paid tier is credited toward the next one up.
Every dollar moves you up — never wasted, never lost.
Our team comes from Chicago's tough neighborhoods. We know housing — and we know what it takes to earn your own place.
We learned from past mistakes and built ourselves into developers, builders, and general contractors with upscale project management systems — running Castro Construction & Design out of Wheeling, Illinois.
We don't do flash. We do executive results: the job defined in writing, the client informed at every step, the build finished right. One accountable partner, from dirt to done.
Sole proprietor — where the work began.
Castro Construction & Design opens at 5097 N Elston Ave, Chicago.
