Can you match the texture on my existing walls?

Yes — texture matching is the difference between a repair that disappears and one you can spot. It's standard for us.

Do you handle old plaster, not just drywall?

Yes. Many older Lake County homes have real plaster, which we repair with the right approach rather than just skim-coating over it.

Drywall done right — with the ROI up front

Lake County's older homes — the century-old houses near downtown Libertyville or throughout Lake Forest — frequently have real plaster, which takes a different hand than modern drywall to repair right. In newer homes it's drywall repair after water damage, settling cracks, or a remodel. Either way, the standard is the same: patched, matched, and finished so it disappears.

Because we also paint, we hand off seamlessly from repair to finish — no coordinating two trades, no finger-pointing about whose job the texture was. And with the Property Value Analysis up front, you see how interior repairs fit into the bigger return on updating the home.

8A Solutions has been wonderful to work with! Every member of their team was professional, knowledgeable, and did outstanding work from start to finish. They removed our solar panels, replaced our roof, and then reinstalled the panels seamlessly. On top of that, we also needed a crack in our foundation repaired, and they were incredibly accommodating and willing to work with us throughout the entire process. Their pricing was very fair, and they never tried to price gouge us. It’s refreshing to find a company that delivers high-quality workmanship while treating its customers honestly and respectfully. We will definitely be contacting 8A Solutions for future home projects and highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, professional, and fairly priced home improvement services!

I’m very Type A and have worked with plenty of contractors over the years. Without a doubt, this team is top tier. They’re professional, on time, incredibly detail-oriented, and their work is exceptional. They kept everything clean and communicated every step of the way. My home feels completely transformed. I couldn’t be happier and wouldn’t consider anyone else.

If you’re looking for a change in 2026, this is your calling. I’ve been trying to get my house painted for years, but pricing always held me back. 8A Solution came out, gave me a great price, and actually listened to exactly what I wanted. They were quick, efficient, and their work truly speaks for itself. I couldn’t be happier with the results.
