Your home is where we do our best work.

Muno Contracting is a small, owner-run firm. The person you meet at the first walkthrough is the person on site, answering the phone and standing behind the work when it's done.

We build homes that look right on their block and live well for decades: honest materials, careful detailing, and a process that respects the fact that you're still living there while we work.

What we do

Services

  • 01

    Kitchens & baths

    Full gut renovations and thoughtful refreshes, from layout and cabinetry through tile, plumbing and lighting.

  • 02

    Whole-home remodels

    Reworking how an older house flows: opening walls, moving stairs, updating systems, keeping the character.

  • 03

    Additions & new construction

    Family rooms, second stories, primary suites and ground-up homes designed to look like they were always there.

  • 04

    Windows & exteriors

    As a direct Marvin windows dealer, we supply and install Marvin windows and doors ourselves, with no middleman. Siding, trim, roofing and masonry repair round out the exterior work.

  • 05

    Design & color consulting

    Help choosing finishes, fixtures, paint and exterior palettes, so decisions are made once and made well.

How we work

Let's be honest: work in your home is an inconvenience.

So the people you let in should be reliable, skilled and easy to reach. Our process is built around clear communication, a realistic schedule and a clean site at the end of every day.

  1. 1

    Walkthrough

    We meet at the house, listen to what you want to change, and talk candidly about scope, budget and timing.

  2. 2

    Design & estimate

    Drawings, finish selections and a detailed written proposal. No surprises later because we did the work up front.

  3. 3

    Build

    Our own crews and long-time trade partners. Weekly updates, protected floors and one point of contact throughout.

  4. 4

    Walkthrough, again

    A final review together, a punch list completed promptly, and a builder who still picks up the phone next year.

About

A family firm, rooted in Evanston.

Rob Muno has owned and run Muno Contracting for more than twenty years, working primarily on the North Shore and across Chicagoland on remodels, window replacements, new construction and exterior renovations. He leads every project personally.

Stephanie Muno works alongside him on the day-to-day running of the business as well as interior design, helping clients with color, finish and layout decisions. She also leads Inlay Event Design, an event design studio in Chicago and New York.

Both are lifelong Evanston residents with deep ties to the North Shore community. Many of our clients are neighbors; most of our work comes from referrals.

What clients say

Trusted by homeowners and architects.

"As an architect working with Muno Contracting for over 15 years, I cannot recommend Rob Muno and his team highly enough for their exceptional craftsmanship and professionalism."

"I highly recommend Muno Contracting. We have used them for all of our home projects, kitchen and bathroom remodels. Rob and his team are wonderful to work with and they pay close attention to details."

Lesly & Steve, Homeowners

"Throughout the entire construction process, they maintained attention to detail, managed each aspect of the project and it was evident at the end the quality of the workmanship that they delivered."
