Chicago's Luxury Design & Build Construction Firm - 5x Best of Houzz
Q Construction, owned and operated by Gary Quateman, is a design and build construction firm specializing in building and renovating luxury high-end residences throughout the Chicagoland area. We have a unique, integrated interior design capability provided by Gary’s wife, Eva. Many clients have taken advantage of these in-house design services, as this has proven to be a cost effective approach to a designed based renovation. However, this does not mean that you can’t bring your own architect and designer to the table. Our projects range from a small scale remodel of an in-town pied-a-terre to a full scale 7000 sq. foot vintage gut renovation.
We provide our clients distinctive, high-quality residential craftsmanship. Every aspect of your project is managed by Gary, ensuring the integrity of the design, as well as eliminating the hassles and headaches common in nearly every renovation that’s not professionally managed.
We’ve worked in many of Chicago’s most prestigious condominiums, cooperatives and single family homes. Our mission is to provide our discriminating clientele with exceptional dependability, workmanship, value, and premiere customer service. With Q Construction, your project is professionally managed, completed on time, and within budget.

Working with Gary was a wonderful experience! He listened to us but still kept us from going too crazy with new ideas so we wouldn’t go out of our budget and worked really hard to keep us in a short time frame. This was especially important as we were expecting a baby soon after. And to help ease the stress, Gary is very communicative and makes sure you are kept up to date.
A perk was also having his wife Eva Quateman as our decorator/designer. This helped to eliminate wasted time from communication delays and misunderstandings of ideas.

Highly recommend Gary and the Q Construction team! Our townhome project included full master bathroom renovation, master bedroom & playroom storage closets, integrated LED lighting throughout the home, surround sound and tv wiring, installing smart thermostats, and more. It was very helpful to have Gary as our General Contractor and his wife Eva Quateman as our interior designer since they worked very closely on the construction and design work. Gary and his team are very professional and the craftmanship is top notch. Additionally, Gary's communication is great including how he made us aware of any issues and quickly provided potential solutions. All in all, it was an absolute pleasure working with Q Construction and we will work with them again!

Gary, Eva and their team are consummate professionals and were solely focused on making our new home a special and inviting place that we love.
We had a tight deadline due to the closing date on our old house and needing to move in to our new home. They ensured an on-time delivery and made us feel secure through every step. This was our first time doing a serious rehab and their calm demeanor and confident advice meant the world to us.
While they have experience handling much higher-end projects, our more modest rehab was no problem. They helped us select great options within our budget, but we constantly get compliments on our “custom” work ;). Eva’s eye for quality helped our rehab become truly special and not the cookie cutter work you so often see.
We would recommend their work to anyone, from a modest condo rehab to a full high-end home.
It’s clear from their work that our house was more than just another job, but that they cared deeply about our happiness with the end product.

Q Construction was terrific to work with. Their subcontractors were wonderful. All subcontractors showed up on the date promised and always on time. The work quality, attention to detail, & followup was great. They noticed and resolved issues before I noticed them. Their cleanliness was A+. The site was cleaned up at the end of each day. Q Construction met all promised deadlines and stayed on budget. They will be my go-to company in the future and I highly recommend them.

Gary and the crew did a complete gut renovation of our condo in downtown Chicago. There were many unexpected construction needs given our building was built in the 1900's.
Q was able to come up with novel solutions without hugely impacting cost. For example our flooring needed an unplanned crack membrane layer to prevent future cracking. In the end, we finished on time, and within 5% of the outlined budget.

We hired Q Construction and Gary when we bought our home in 2013 and continue to use them. They’ve done everything from reconstructing our outdoor deck to major bathroom and gut kitchen reno. Their work is outstanding, estimates come in pretty spot on, and his guys are amazing, trustworthy and respectful (a friend came over when we were having two bathrooms redone and was amazed how clean everything was!). We strongly recommend Q and Gary.

Q Construction has done several jobs for me over the years and each has been done with absolute perfection. I am extremely type A and have found that Gary Quateman and his crew have exceeded my expectations in each undertaking. Most recently they renovated two bathrooms in a 1927 building and masterfully handled all the challenges that arose. Having known Gary for about 15 years, he is my first choice on any renovation however large or small and his team shares his exacting standards so that nothing is ever left needing to be redone and his crew is completely trustworthy. Q follows through and delivers a quality outcome.

I'm so glad I picked Q Construction for re-doing my floors and fixing up other minor issues in my new apartment. Gary always got back to me very quickly and was able to help with any questions I had. Everyone was very professional and they made the process seamless. I would recommend them to anyone!

Gary Quateman and his team are remarkable professionals. Gary has an keen eye for detail, uses amazing subs, does high quality work and is extremely fair. Gary's work is consistently impeccable and his follow through is impressive. He did a full rehab on my 4700 sq ft single family home in 2007 and recently helped turn a new-construction apartment into what appears to be a custom home.

I highly recommend Q Construction. We lost our entire interior of our home due to a pipe bursting our upper floor bathroom. We interviewed 6 or 7 general contractors and decided to go with Gary and the Q Construction team. This was a big project, (the finished basement and main floor had to be torn down to the studs and rebuilt), a complicated project (dealing with an insurance company every step of the way), and an emotional project (we lost everything). Gary and his team were professional, caring, and very service oriented. Gary listened to our concerns, communicated with us constantly, and delivered the highest quality design and build. Perhaps most impressive (especially in Chicago) was Gary's absolute integrity and personal accountability throughout the 6 month project. Anytime we hit a bump or snag, Gary demonstrated the utmost honesty and integrity. His wife, Eva, is an amazing designer and we asked her for her advice along the way. The team of 2 provided a seamless partnership between designer and builder, making our lives easier. The new home is absolutely stunning and everything we wanted for our new home. I am so grateful we chose Q Construction. They provide amazing service and deliver a high quality, beautiful product with integrity, patience, professionalism, and very strong expertise. My wife and I would never hesitate for a second in recommending Q Construction.
