Client Stories
People who stopped
storing and started living.
340 completed projects. Average rating 4.9 on Houzz. Zero permit surprises.
"The permit process alone would have stopped me cold. Forge filed everything and sent me a text when it was approved. I didn't make a single phone call to the city."

Home Office · 390 sq ft · Lisle, IL
"Day 18, right on the estimate. The site lead texted me photos every single evening. When I walked in on reveal day, there were zero surprises — which was the biggest surprise."
Kevin Okafor
Workshop Studio · 480 sq ft · Bolingbrook, IL
"My daughter uses it as a recording studio. The insulation is so good she can track vocals while I mow outside. We had three quotes — Forge was the only one who explained why spray foam was better for our climate zone."
Sandra Whitfield
Music Studio · 440 sq ft · Aurora, IL
"I was most nervous about the floor. We have a 1978 slab with a small crack. They showed me the repair options, explained the implications of each, and let me decide. That transparency is rare."
