Step by Step
The Alta Property Services Process
Six clear stages — from your first call to your final approval. Every project follows the same proven sequence, so nothing gets missed.
Initial Contact & Rapid Response
Call us at (630) 461-9229 or submit a request online — any time, day or night. For urgent situations, we dispatch a field team within hours. For scheduled work, we confirm your appointment within one business hour. You'll always speak with a real person, never a phone tree.
On-Site Assessment & Documentation
A licensed Alta technician visits your property, conducts a thorough visual and structural assessment, and documents all affected areas with detailed photos and notes. This step is the foundation of accurate scoping — we won't quote blind or estimate over the phone for complex jobs.
Detailed Estimate & Insurance Coordination
We prepare a clear, itemized written estimate using industry-standard pricing — the same format accepted by major insurers. If your project involves an insurance claim, our team prepares supporting documentation and works directly with your adjuster so you're not caught in the middle. No hidden line items, no inflated scope.
Project Scheduling & Materials Sourcing
Once you approve the estimate, we lock in your project start date and source all materials — typically within days, not weeks. Our established supplier relationships across the Chicago metro mean we move faster than most contractors. You'll receive a written schedule with milestones before work begins.
Professional Repair & On-Site Supervision
Our certified crew completes all work to code, with a dedicated supervisor on-site for every project. We handle roofing, siding replacement, drywall repair, electrical, plumbing, and full interior remodeling — all under one contract, with one point of contact. Daily progress updates are available on request.
Final Walkthrough & Project Close-Out
Before we consider any project complete, we conduct a detailed joint walkthrough with you. Any punch-list items are addressed before final payment is collected. We provide all required permits, warranty documentation, and post-project guidance — so you have a complete paper trail and full peace of mind.
Every crew member is background-checked, licensed, and trained to Alta's internal standards — because your property deserves more than the lowest bidder.

Single Point of Contact
No juggling between trades or chasing subcontractors. Alta manages the full project — roofing, siding, electrical, plumbing, interior work — under one contract with one dedicated project lead assigned to your job.
Locally Owned & Operated
Based in Addison, IL, we've been part of the Chicagoland community since 2010. We know the neighborhoods, we know the building codes, and we stand behind our work with a contractor who's easy to reach long after the job is done.

What Our Chicago-Area Clients Say
Real reviews from homeowners and property managers across DuPage County and the Chicago suburbs — people who've been through our process firsthand.
Posted on Google Kathi Watkins-DeitzTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Took care of problem when warranty company would not cover claim. ThanksPosted on Google Jessica RoubitchekTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can't say enough good things about Alta Property Services. My basement flooded due to a burst hot water heater connection--right in the middle of trying to sell my home. It was a stressful situation, but Alta came through in the clutch. My realtor contacted them, and they responded quickly and professionally. They handled everything with the insurance company, which was a huge relief, and got right to work on the cleanup and restoration. Not only did they mitigate the water damage, but they also installed beautiful new flooring--all in time for us to keep our scheduled open house. Thanks to Alta, the space looked better than ever, and we were able to stay on track with the sale. I highly recommend them to anyone dealing with unexpected property damage. Fast, reliable, and truly went above and beyond.Posted on Google MichaelTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a leak in our kitchen break room. I called Alta and they had some techs on site within an hour or so. They were able to clean up the water, had mold testing done, got us a quote to replace drywall, rebuild cabinets, and put everything back together as if it never happened. We are very appreciative for the help Alta provided. All of this at a very reasonable cost as well. They are now our "go to" company for emergency services. Thank you Alex and Ron.Posted on Google Michelle SchroederTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Alta Property Services has helped my clients on projects large and small. And their work and customer service are exceptional! The owner Ron has always been quick to communicate (not always the case with contractors) and the folks he has working for him really know their stuff! Peter is one of the project managers and is not only organized but also helps come up with creative solutions when needed. Highly recommend!Posted on Google Dana StottsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our tech, Chris went above and beyond in coming to our house and completing the job. This all happened in sub zero temps in Chicago. After a long day, Chris called and provided an update on where he was and timing of when he would be able to be at the house. He was willing to come after hours (arrived at 7:30PM) and did a great job fixing 2 toilets and ensuring the job was complete before he left - and all with a smile. He was polite, professional and super helpful with explaining what he was doing. Great example of what great service looks like.Posted on Google Rachel McHughTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’m extremely happy with the service we received. We have a home warranty and Alta was dispatched to correct a plumbing issue with our toilet, it was taking forever to fill after flushing. I’ve had this problem for about 2 years now, my warranty company has sent out multiple plumbers (2-3) who’ve attempted to fix the issue but were unable and just provided me with different excuses as to why it’s not fixed, like that I have low pressure etc, when the toilet wasn’t like that when we bought the house…I’ve been under the impression we had a leak this whole time, our water bill has been outrageous so I finally called the warranty company again on the same issue and was so relieved to find out Alta was easily able to correct the problem. I guess the 3rd/4th turn is a charm. Finally a plumber who knows what they’re doing, thank you Alta! I’m hoping our water bills will be more affordable now as a result 🙏🙏Posted on Google Mark ByrneTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Highly recommended! I'm already lining up future projects for the team.Posted on Google Celine SchroederTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The team @ Alta was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and thorough. Everything was completed on time and 100% perfect. Am grateful for true professionals!
