About Get an Eric, LLC

Get an Eric, LLC is a Chicago-based renovation and general contracting company serving homeowners across Chicago and the North Shore. We specialize in well-managed home renovations, remodeling projects, and professional handyman services built around clear communication, skilled craftsmanship, and realistic expectations.

How “Get an Eric” Started

Before Get an Eric, LLC existed, founder Eric Marie was running a successful handyman business in Chicago under the name The Handy Frenchman. While working with a large national vacation rental company, one of their building managers recommended his work by saying:

“You need to get an Eric.”

That phrase stuck. What started as a referral quickly became a brand.

As demand grew, Eric expanded the business beyond basic handyman services, adding a painting team, licensed plumbers, and certified electricians to support larger renovation and remodeling projects. Get an Eric, LLC was officially launched to serve homeowners and property managers who wanted reliable professionals they could trust.

From Handyman Work to Full Renovations

Today, Get an Eric, LLC focuses primarily on home renovations and remodeling, including kitchens, bathrooms, basements, and whole-home projects. Our handyman services remain available for smaller repairs and maintenance tasks, but renovations are the core of what we do.

This renovation-first approach allows us to:

  • Plan projects properly from the start

  • Coordinate multiple trades through one contractor

  • Reduce delays and unexpected issues

  • Deliver durable, code-compliant results

Whether the job is a full remodel or a smaller repair, the same standards apply.

Built on Trust, Reputation, and Results

Get an Eric, LLC has been recognized as one of the Best Handyman Services in Chicago by HandymanReviewed.com and has appeared in national media as an industry expert.

More importantly, our reputation has been built through consistent results and word-of-mouth referrals from homeowners, property managers, and repeat clients who value reliability and integrity.

How Our Renovation Process Works

  • Plan & Estimate

    We start by understanding your space, goals, and budget. After assessing the scope of work, we provide a clear estimate and realistic timeline so there are no surprises later.

  • Coordinate & Build

    As a renovation-focused general contractor, we coordinate all trades, materials, and scheduling. Plumbing, electrical, carpentry, and finishes are managed through one organized process.

  • Final Walkthrough & Completion

    Once the work is complete, we review the project with you, address final details, and make sure everything meets expectations before closeout.

Serving Chicago & the North Shore

We proudly serve homeowners throughout Chicago and nearby North Shore communities, including Morton Grove, Niles, Lincolnwood, Park Ridge, Glenview, Evanston, and Wilmette.

Our experience with older Chicago homes, condos, and multi-unit properties allows us to plan renovations and repairs with fewer surprises and better long-term outcomes.
