Wheeling Cleaning and Home Services

A 2011 Angie's List award winner for service, Illinois Insulators helps to conserve heat and reduce energy bills through solutions specifically tailored to each home. Carrying heat-trapping wares in a variety of thicknesses and R-values—a measurement of thermal resistance—expert techs find economical ways to safeguard attics, garage ceilings, or crawlspaces against escaping heat. Techs can equip an unfinished basement ceiling with rolls of blanket insulation to soak up fleeing warmth or wield pneumatic tools to fill finished walls with soft tufts of blow-in product. Illinois Insulators helps to educate customers about the intricacies of the heat-trapping arts and can partner with homeowners to remediate sinister spores of mold from attics and floorboards. Home-improvement aficionados can also gild walls in soft, noise-hushing Rockwool acoustic insulation, which is made from rock fibers that soak up disagreeable noises from the TV or a neighbor's rehearsal of his genre-spanning acid-jazz and jackhammer band.

T & M Flooring Service's owner Matthew E. Kostro personally handles all onsite consultations for services such as floor refinishing, solid-wood installations, and recoating.

Whether performing preventative-maintenance services on heat pumps, fan coils, or furnaces or upgrading aging air conditioners, Burant Heating & Air Conditioning’s temperature specialists pride themselves on their quality workmanship. With each new installation, techs calculate the furnace size required to heat each client's home, business, or condo-grade tree fort before custom cutting all sheet metal inside their truck. As they work, they lay down carpet runners and don booties to protect floors, and client investments are protected by a two-year parts-and-labor warranty, which summons the techs back to repair any problems free of charge.

In 1875, Charles Hawks founded Hawks Nursery Company to outfit local farmers and residents with plant stock: usually fruit trees, shade trees, and shrubs. As towns grew more populated, the company’s staff grew, too, and soon Charles employed 200 salesmen, who traveled the Midwest by horse and buggy, train, or high-powered propeller beanie to sell their stock. When the Depression began atrophying business, Charles responded by expanding into the landscaping industry. There, the company really blossomed. Today, a team of landscape designers—most with college degrees in the field—transforms exterior spaces with verdant plant life, patio designs, and water hazards. The landscape artists’ stellar reputation even earned them landscaping work at the Milwaukee County Zoo and outside of the Milwaukee Art Museum.

Hands-on gardeners flock to Hawks Nursery, wandering down outdoor paths that wind past potted flowers and plants, fountains, and trees. The serpentine paths funnel into an information gazebo, where gardeners of all skill levels can ask questions, such as how to care for newly transplanted shrubs or how to teach trees to grow caramel apples. An interior show room sells high-quality gardening supplies, patio furniture, and tropical plants, as well as seasonal decorations.
