FR Review:
By all accounts, LDC has a PhD in the restoration and enlargement of Victorians and townhouses and the building of high-end custom homes. The firm works primarily in Dupage and Cook Counties, but, we are told, will tackle any North Shore work that involves premier architects, challenging plans and top clients and budgets.
Considered very attentive and trustworthy, principal Joseph Lichtenberger has a reputation for developing good relationships with architects and implementing their plans with skill and strict attention to the smallest of details. The LDC subcontractors are considered first-rate, and special praise is given to a company carpenter who is a master of interior millwork. Remodeling clients and those who have used LDC to add to their historic homes rave about LDC's ability to seamlessly blend new work into the existing architecture and period interiors.
Lichtenberger's hands-on attention is said to continue through completion and clean-up. Pricing is at the upper end of the scale, but, according to grateful and satisfied clients, well worth the extra dollars. Some vow they would never put anyone else in charge of their house.
Representative Client Comments:
"The only builder I'd ever use again." "Joe was wonderful." "A lot of detail work." "Great. I'm happy to bring prospective clients through our home. Chicago Magazine listed it among the top 30 most beautiful in Chicago." "Excellent job."
