Our Philosophy
Deeply held value systems
At its most basic, construction can be reduced to three core elements: time lines, budget and quality. Failure to deliver as expected on even one, and a builder runs the risk of seriously compromising customer satisfaction. At DeLeers, we believe in giving our customers the finest finished product, without stress, on time and at the price we’ve agreed upon.
We also feel good design is indispensable to the value of the product, yet remains only part of the equation. Equally important is how that design is constructed. When it comes to building or renovating a residential or commercial space, DeLeers is committed to finding ways to give customers a well-designed end product that also stands up to expectations of quality.
Collaboration is key
Transforming architectural plans into a built reality is no small task. It requires the efforts of many people, each cooperating, each talking to all other members of the team. Everyone at DeLeers is committed to nothing less than complete collaboration and open, honest communication throughout the build.
Working with DeLeers offers several assurances:
- Though we exist to build structures, we’ll put our primary focus on building a solid working relationship between you, our employees, subcontractors and vendors.
- We’ll utilize your feedback to ensure every expectation is exceeded, and your structure is built exactly the way you’ve envisioned it.
- Teams able to pool their expertise will be assembled upfront and will drive delivery of finished products that are as well conceived as they are crafted.
Sustainability underscored by longevity
DeLeers is committed to striking a balance between the environment, society and economic development in all aspects of our business. We strive to maintain resource efficiency by pairing high-quality materials with precise, efficient construction. The standards we build to, including EnergyStar®, help not only the environment but the owners, reducing energy waste, lowering operating costs and supporting healthier environments. And our commitment to sustainability is proven by buildings that last.
What Our Customers Say
"Working with Jerry Jilot and Dave Zehms was a pleasure. I went through two other construction projects shortly before this, and without a doubt, working with DeLeers was the best experience of the three. I can be very demanding, but DeLeers met all my expectations. Their follow-through, responsiveness and attention to detail were outstanding."

What Our Customers Say
"The design build process was organized and very professional. DeLeers did a fantastic job of managing the entire building project, keeping four distinct stakeholders happy and the whole project on track.
I had very distinct ideas about the design of my suite, and our building architects just couldn't quite capture the Chicago-loft feel that I was looking for. I sat down with the DeLeers design team and they absolutely got it! We have been in our suite for three years and are still absolutely delighted."
