Schillings
Building Supplies Companies in Kankakee, IL
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars14 February 2013
“I worked with Carie Gentry on remodeling ideas for a small bath. Carie probably spent about 3 hrs in the store going over various ideas and making suggestions. She also visited our home to get a better idea of what my project would entail. Overall, I was very satisfied and felt that Schilling went above and beyond in helping us.”
Security Lumber & Supply
Building Supplies Companies in Kankakee, IL
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars27 February 2016
“Michele Trivaline is a designer at Security Lumber. She designed my complete kitchen remodel. I told her what I wanted and she helped me choose the perfect cabinets, appliances, counters and designed the layout to fit my desires perfectly. When minor changes in construction had to be made she helped me choose the perfect solution. She was always available, always professional and courteous. After a short conversation she instinctively knew what I liked and she found exactly the right cabinet quality, style and arrangement to make my dream kitchen a reality. All of the products I received via Michele and Security Lumber were excellent quality. Delivery was on time and everything arrived in perfect condition. My experience with Michele and Security Lumber was the best. I highly recommend Michele and Security Lumber.”

What should I consider when choosing building materials?


One of the biggest challenges when building or renovating a home is deciding where to spend and where to save on building materials. One way to balance your spend is to use more expensive building materials, such as stone, timber panelling, and rain screens, sparingly, or to substitute a lower installation cost for a higher material cost.

When comparing costs, also take into account energy efficiency and lifespan. Some windows, for example, are more energy efficient than others; and while they may have a bigger price tag, the savings you make from insulation will, over time, offset the higher upfront cost. The same goes for timber flooring – often the cheaper the material, the sooner it will need to be replaced.

Raw materials and how they’re applied – including everything from metal roofing and timber panelling, to board-formed concrete and porcelain tiles – can provide infinite design possibilities. If you’re working with a Kankakee, IL builder, architect or designer, they will likely have favourite building materials they like to work with, as well as favourite suppliers. Ask them for examples of how the material has been used in past projects, and seek out alternatives for comparisons.

Questions to ask a supplier of timber and building materials in Kankakee, IL:


  • Where do you source your supplies from?
  • How is your timber harvested?
