Great work by Alex, Joe, and his crew
Great work by Alex, Joe, and his crew. Remediated our deck, which had settled away from our home, to prevent further separation. From the beginning to the end, they didn't shortcut their way to the finish. Offered well-thought-out, technical engineering as the solution. Even left our landscaping as they found it at the finish. I would call them in a heartbeat for future home repairs, and wouldn't hesitate to refer them to anyone looking for an honest, capable contracting company. Kept us abreast of the progress along the way. A+!!

Great guy, great work
Joe came and fixed a questionable dishwasher install for us. He took care of the insulation that was just shoved in between the dishwasher and the cabinets and secured the dishwasher better than the installers had done. I mentioned a drain that wasn’t draining and he fixed that while he was here too. Great guy, great work. I would highly recommend Joe Towne for any work that is needed around your home.
Kristin Jude

The Project Turned Out Great
House Doctors installed a new front door and storm door in our townhouse and the project turned out great. They were finished in a day and a half, removed all of the old door, replaced the doorbell for free, and the cost was exactly what they had quoted us. Joe Towne was a true professional and working with Alex through the estimating process was smooth and easy. Thank you, House Doctors!
Scot Tennant
I honestly can't say enough good things
We recently hired House Doctors of Elgin (Alex Young) to help us with a couple of updates to our front porch and exterior, and I honestly can't say enough good things about the experience. Alex was incredible from start to finish!
We wanted to replace our outdated (colonial) porch railings and add a custom gable to the peak of our house. Alex came out for a consultation, listened to what we were envisioning, and even offered great ideas we hadn’t thought of. Shortly after, he sent over a clear quote with photos showing exactly what he planned to do, which was so helpful.
He found the perfect square-spindle railings I was looking for and had his colleague (Joe) custom-build a beautiful gable to our exact specs. Alex kept me in the loop at every step, he even came back out to double-check measurements before the install. On installation day, he and Joe worked seamlessly with our painting crew and the final result was flawless. I seriously could not be happier with how it all turned out!
Alex was professional, knowledgeable, kind, and incredibly easy to work with. We also received a detailed bio about him and his family before the project began, which made the experience feel even more personal and trustworthy.
We’re already brainstorming other projects we can bring him back for. If you’re looking for someone who communicates well, delivers on their promises, and does truly quality work, I would HIGHLY recommend Alex and House Doctors of Elgin.
Jennifer Fluharty
This company is a gem
This company is a gem. They actually come out to analyze your problem, tell you how they would fix it, and give you a realistic estimate of what your cost would be and when it could be scheduled. Both Alex and Joe show broad knowledge of many disciplines and demonstrate a high level of professionalism. We had three projects that involved fencing, roofing, and carpentry. All were successfully completed. We will be using them again for future jobs and highly recommend them.
frederic arnal
We can't recommend them enough
Alex and Joe painted my parents’ home in Sugar Grove. They can’t stop raving about how kind and professional both were, and how they went above and beyond to help them. They are very reasonably priced and we can’t recommend them enough.
Mary LaFleur

Brennan Perkins
Alex was wonderful!
Alex was wonderful! He sent me a bio before he came; thus I was completely comfortable with him. He was very kind and professional, whereby he explained everything fully. He is replacing two boards of a fence that were damaged in the recent storm. He told me next steps and provided a quote right on the spot. He communicated well and made sure all my questions were answered. I highly recommend his company, House Doctors. He does interior and exterior work.
Carla durrant
They Went Above and Beyond

Great Experience Painting My Home
Great experience for painting the exterior of my home. Extreme attention to detail and excellent client service.
Brett Alexander Staron
House doctors are terrific.
House doctors are terrific. They came out the first day to replace weather stripping and to help with other items around the house. My husband just passed away before Christmas, so I needed all the help I can get. My emotions are up and down, and they generally amazed me with the concern, help, and all at a more than reasonable price. The next day they were back to take care of my electrical needs, one of which was replacing the light on a Casablanca fan of which the company said could not be fixed anymore! Thank you, House doctors. Carol
Carol Damascus
I highly recommend House Doctors
We had a mishap at our home. An upstairs drain dislodged and water from our humidifier leaked into our walls. After getting the leak fixed and the affected parts of our kitchen wall/ceiling removed, and the area dried out, it was time for repairs.
House Doctors was chosen. They presented themselves well and their quote was very competitive.
Joe made the repairs and painting. The work was done within 4 days. The work was completed very efficiently and done very well. Joe is very conscientious about his work. His cut lines are perfect. I can't even tell there was any damage at all. He erected plastic walls to protect the other areas of our home. He put down tarps to protect our floors, cabinets, and counters.
I highly recommend House Doctors for all home repairs or remodeling. We are looking to have more work done in our home. Joe is our guy.
Special note: We have a double high ceiling in our front room and entryway. There are 2 high up inset windows in this room. It takes a 20' ladder to get to them. Alex, Joe's boss, came in at our request and cleaned the inset area, the windows, and the blinds. It took him about 2 hours to complete the work. He didn't charge us for this work. He said that he was paying forward, hoping to be chosen for our next job.
What else can I say, Alex and Joe are great people. I can't recommend them highly enough. Very good people to work with.
Gene Stoppa
Definitely Recommend Alex
Alex was very thorough when explaining what was done. He was true to his word. I was very happy with the result. You could tell he really got into what he was doing. Definitely recommend Alex.
Kathleen Oliver
Competent, Clean and Professionally Run Project
I was contacted by Alex within hours of my initial online request for a proposal to do several interior doors, frames and hardware repairs and/or replacements in my home. We set up an initial inspection for the next business day. Alex (owner) came out himself to evaluate my project, take pictures, measurements and do his counts. I received a thorough, comprehensive, professional proposal by EOB that same day. I reviewed and accepted his proposal and scheduled the work to commence within the week. This was a competent, clean and professionally run project from the time Alex and his helper arrived until such time as the project was completed. The materials selection was top-notch, the work was completed quickly and I was very pleased with the finished product. In fact, Alex would not leave until I assured him I was completely satisfied. I will have Alex and his team back to our house for more projects and I feel very comfortable recommending him to anyone else who is in need of a skilled, qualified, professional handyman team to perform quality work within their home. Thnx
