Homer Reno is a residential rehabilitation contractor for investors and property owners. Written scope, tracked cost, documented inspections, documented draws.
01
Residential rehabilitation, general contracting scope. Trades are subcontracted and coordinated, not self-performed.
A
Vacant or occupied single family and small multi-unit property taken from existing condition through a defined finished state. Structure, envelope, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, interior finishes, and exterior work carried under one scope and one schedule.
B
A written scope of work before an offer or before a loan commitment, built from a walkthrough of the property rather than a per-square-foot assumption. Useful when the number in your model has never been tested against the building.
C
Building the work the permitted set describes, sequencing so inspections land where they belong in the schedule, and preparing the site and the paperwork before the inspector arrives rather than after a rejection.
D
Progress tied to scope line items, change orders written when conditions change instead of absorbed quietly, and a draw packet a lender or a partner can read without a phone call.
02
The operating model suits some owners and not others. It is worth knowing which you are before the first call.
Investors rehabilitating for resale who need the scope, the schedule, and the inspection sequence to hold together, because the carrying cost of a stalled job is the thing that erodes the return.
Buy-and-hold owners deciding what to correct now, what to defer, and what a municipal inspection is going to force regardless of preference.
Owners working with a lender who releases funds against documented progress, where the draw packet is part of the job rather than an afterthought.
Owners who have plans, a permit set, or an inherited scope and need someone to execute it and report against it.
03
None of this is unusual. It is ordinary construction administration, applied consistently.
A rehabilitation goes wrong in predictable ways. The scope was a paragraph instead of a list. Nobody sequenced the inspections, so a rough-in sat waiting. A condition was found behind a wall and got handled verbally. The draw request could not be substantiated, so funding slowed and the schedule slipped behind it.
The response is administrative, not heroic: write the scope line by line, track cost against those lines, treat permits and inspections as scheduled activities with predecessors, document changed conditions the day they appear, and assemble the draw package from records that already exist.
That discipline is what an investor is buying. It does not remove risk from a rehabilitation. It makes the risk visible early enough to price a decision instead of absorbing a surprise.
04
One project, in progress. Not a portfolio.
A full residential rehabilitation in South Shore, Chicago, with Homer Reno as the general contractor and the owner as an entity controlled by Segun Zubair.
It is disclosed as an owner project rather than presented as third-party client work. The reason to show it is that the operating record exists while the job is still open: what the scope covers, what changed once the building was opened up, what each inspection required, and what each draw paid for.
05
Stated here rather than left for you to work out.
Homer Reno LLC was formed on 2026-06-15 in Illinois. It is a new company with one active project. There is no completed portfolio to show, no client list, and no testimonials, and none are invented here to fill the gap.
What exists is the operating record of a live job and the person running it: Segun Zubair, sole managing member. He is also the investor on that project, so the scope, the budget, the inspection outcomes, and the exit are all his problem at the same time.
Homer Reno is an Illinois limited liability company. Its City of Chicago general contractor licence is not represented as issued on this site and no licence number is published here. Licensing status is confirmed directly before any agreement is signed, and municipal licensing and permitting requirements vary by jurisdiction.
Insurance is in place: $1,000,000 per occurrence / $2,000,000 aggregate commercial general liability. A current certificate is available on request.
The first conversation is a project review: what the building is, what the work looks like, and whether Homer Reno is the right contractor for it. If it is not a fit, you will hear that on the call.
