Our Story

Craftsmanship you can trust, from people you can reach

Ascend Construction Solutions is a family-owned and operated construction and remodeling company based in Aledo, Illinois. For more than 20 years, we’ve been building, remodeling, and improving homes for people across Aledo and Mercer County.

We started this company the same way we run it today: by doing good work, treating people honestly, and standing behind everything we build. A great deal of our business comes from referrals and repeat customers. Neighbors telling neighbors, and clients who call us back for their next project. That kind of trust isn’t something you can advertise your way into. You earn it one job at a time, and we don’t take a single referral for granted.

When you hire Ascend, you’re not handed off to a call center or a rotating cast of crews. You work directly with the family behind the company. We answer the phone, we show up, and we communicate clearly, before, during, and after your project. If something needs to be made right, we make it right.

Full-Service Design-Build

We handle the whole project, so you don’t have to

One of the biggest reasons clients choose us is simple: we manage everything. As a design-build general contractor, we take responsibility for the entire project so you aren’t left coordinating designers, subcontractors, inspectors, and suppliers on your own.

From the first estimate to the final walkthrough, you have one trusted point of contact and one team accountable for the result.

  • Design, estimating, and transparent budgeting
  • Scheduling and day-to-day project management
  • Vetting and coordinating all subcontractors and trades
  • Quality control and safety management on site
  • Permits and inspections where your job needs them
  • As-built documentation for your records

Why Homeowners Choose Us

What Sets Ascend Apart

  1. You deal with the family

    Ascend is family owned and operated. The person who looks at your project is the person who answers the phone and stands behind the finished job.

  2. Over 20 years of it

    Twenty-plus years of building, remodeling, and restoring homes across Aledo and Mercer County.

  3. Old houses don’t scare us

    A lot of our work is on homes that were built long before we got here. We know how to keep the details that matter and rebuild the parts that are gone.

  4. Straight estimates, straight answers

    Clear, itemized numbers before we start and honest updates while we’re working. You’ll always know where the project stands.

  5. One crew, start to finish

    Framing through finish carpentry, roof through trim. We handle the whole job rather than handing you off to four different subs.

  6. Big jobs and small ones

    A whole-house restoration or a single window that never sat right. We’d rather do the small job well than turn you away over it.

How it goes

What working with us actually looks like

No mystery, no runaround. Here's the shape of nearly every job we take.

  1. You call or write

    Tell us what you’re thinking about. If it’s something we do, we’ll set a time to come see it. If it isn’t, we’ll tell you that too.

  2. We walk the project

    We come look at the actual thing, take measurements and photos, and talk through what you want out of it.

  3. You get a written estimate

    Itemized and in writing, so you can see what each part costs. Free, and no obligation to go ahead.

  4. We schedule it

    Once you’re happy with the number, we get you on the calendar and tell you honestly when we can start.

  5. We build it

    Our crew does the work. We document as we go, and that’s where every photo on this site came from, and we keep you posted on progress.

  6. We finish and stand behind it

    Final walkthrough, punch list, clean site. And we’re still here afterwards if something needs attention.

Reputation is everything to us

Most of our work comes from people who trusted us once and told someone else. That’s the highest compliment we can receive, and the standard we hold ourselves to on every project.
