We’re the only James Hardie Preferred Remodeler in McHenry County. The only elite Andersen window contractor. McHenry County’s top LP SmartSide Preferred Installer. These aren’t badges we bought — manufacturers audited our work and our crew before granting them. If your installer isn’t certified, your product warranty may not be fully honored.
Two gutter products you can’t get anywhere else locally: the GutterShutter clog-free gutter system and Raindrop gutter screens. Plus the InnoMAXX roofing system — our proprietary layering approach that extends roof life well beyond a standard install.
We opened on Route 176 in 2005. Two decades later, we’re still here — same location, same family, same phone number. We’ve sided homes in Coventry and Country Club Estates, replaced windows on the Crystal Lake waterfront, and put roofs on everything from Fox River ranch homes to commercial buildings on Randall Road. We’re not going anywhere.
Storm damage? Our licensed public adjusters are on staff and handle your insurance claim from filing to final payment — not just an estimate, but the entire process. McHenry County averages 60 thunderstorms a year and 35+ inches of snow — we deal with insurance companies every week.
IHC is a women-led business. We’re members of the Crystal Lake, Woodstock, and McHenry chambers of commerce, and we sponsor local youth sports teams throughout the county. This isn’t just where we work — it’s where we live, coach, and raise our families.
Best of Fox Valley winner every year since 2011. Readers Choice Award 2025 for Windows & Doors. A+ BBB rating. Remodeling Magazine Big 50. We don’t chase awards — they come from doing the same quality work, year after year, for the same community.
Most estimates are scheduled within a week. We serve Crystal Lake, McHenry, Woodstock, Algonquin, Huntley, and all of McHenry County.

A professional, knowledgeable Innovative consultant comes to your home, inspects the work area, takes measurements, and talks through your options. For siding and windows, they bring material samples so you see colors and textures in your own lighting. 60-90 minutes. Free.
You get a written estimate with material specs, labor breakdown, timeline, and warranty details. No surprises. No hidden costs. Financing available if needed.
Our crew handles the install. When it’s done, we walk the property with you to make sure everything meets your expectations and ours. Then we clean up and get out of your way.

Three generations of the Wilborn family
Since 1974 the Wilborn family has been helping McHenry County homeowners improve their home exteriors. That’s three generations of hands-on experience before Innovative Home Concepts even opened its doors in 2005.
When Rhett and his family started IHC, they didn’t just bring decades of trade knowledge — they brought a commitment to doing things right for the neighbors they see at the grocery store, at youth sports games, and at the Crystal Lake chamber meetings. Twenty-one years later, that commitment hasn’t changed.
Their passion has made Innovative Home Concepts the #1 Exterior Remodeler in McHenry County.
