The team that was assigned to me by CH Architects handled everything effectively. They were always polite throughout their work and passionately managed their tasks. Everything from initial consultation to schematic design for our building went smoothly and effortlessly. We are happy with their work and impressed with their passion. We would happily rate them ten out of ten, and recommend them to everyone out there. More...

LBDI, Inc. hired Chlebek Architects for a Dormer / Attic Renovation in Berwyn, IL. Chester Chlebek the Architect had previously completed a number of Projects in Berwyn and advised us that working with the City of Berwyn's Building Department may be more of a challenge then expected. Chester was correct and after several Permit resubmittals we received our Permit and the project was started. Notwithstanding, Chester was quick to respond to the revisions requested by the City and remained very professional throughout the process. We look forward to working with Chlebek Architects in the future and may offer a strong recommendation for their services. Barry R. Wurster President LBDI, Inc. More...

I have hired AIA Architecture & Construction to prepare drawings for a plumbing system. The plumbing system had to be replaced from the basement to the second floor.
In addition, AIA Architecture & Construction offered a consultation regarding the other remodeling options in the house.
Also, a 12 foot lintel/beam had to be replaced in the front wall of the house. The AIA Architecture & Construction had prepared drawings for the Building Department for this structural job. The offered services were done in a timely manner. AIA Architecture & Construction is very competent with the good architectural knowledge, and the price for was fair.

CH Architects, Ltd. (architect & contractor)
There are several reasons for my strong support in performing our due diligence. My wife and I solicited numerous bids for the job, CH + architect & contraction was the ONLY firm where both the architect and construction manager attended all planning meetings, and all questions could be answered, subsequently he was extremely professional, thorough and was on-site and hands-on for virtually everything his subcontractors did. CH + architect & contraction manager is a highly professional outfit with great communication and planning that really took into account our needs as a client and worked with us to fulfill the vision we had of our kitchen addition. Lastly, and most importantly, Chester’s have gained my trust and I look forward to working with his crew in the future. Mark Costino, Oak Park, IL More...

This firm was retained to prepare a full set of architectural drawings to support a pending project. We can say without any doubt that this firm is first class and work product is outstanding. It may also be properly stated that Chlebek Architects & Builders were absolutely professional in their approach to the task as well as being attentive and personable. Equally important is that the required drawings were prepared and ready for delivery on the agreed date. The owner, Chester, is both professional and affable at the same time - making it easy to communicate. For those interested in the fee aspect of this transaction, as a client/customer, I can say this firm's price was both reasonable and competitive. We were fully satisfied and Chester's efforts and performance not only met but exceeded both our desires and expectations. We would retain this firm for any future work with complete confidence.

I would definitelyy recommend Chester Chlebek, architect, to anyone who is remodeling a historic home.
He is prompt and very professional in every aspect of design and execution, including experience with Oak Park village approvals of building permits.
He is flexible and attentive to owners' wishes and plans.
One word of advice: be sure to be very explicit in describing your expectations to ensure that your express wishes will be followed.
We experienced one unepected change in masonry work that was not to our specifications, but otherwise no complaints on Chlebek Architects' excellence in worksmanship and value.

I hired Chlebek Architects & Builders to provide architectural plans for my dream addition on my 1912 home in Oak Park. The architect, Chester Chlebek did a wonderful job listening to what I wanted and incorporated it with the current building codes.
His ideas and suggestions were also very helpful in taking advantage of every sq ft.
Chlebek Architects also expedited the permit process and everything went smoothly. This is not an easy task in Oak Park, still the entire process from plans to permit took only two months.
I was so happy with the service they provided, I decided to go with CH Architects for the construction part of the project. Needless to say, the G.C. services they provided surpassed my expectations. My home is truly a dream and was finished on budget and ON TIME. I would and have recommended Mr. Chlebek and his crew to my friends and family!!! Thank you for the wonderful job!!

How can someone tell if their Garage is suitable for conversion?
Recently I did convert existing garage into the sunroom, however, this required: existing slab replacement, opening existing wall and windows placement, carpentry updates including electrical. Not every garage can be converted into living areas. Most of the time is the safety issue involved.
Run us through the different stages of the Garage conversion process - what's involved?
1- Preliminary meeting scope of work is roughly discussed including time and budgeting.
2- Preliminary site visit and zoning surveying start.
3- Preliminary design production for Client's review.
4-Final Architectural engineering documents production
5-Permit and authorities approvals.
6-Construction observation and management ( optional)
7-General Contractor's services (optional)
