Quality Craftsmanship for Riverside's Historic Homes
Riverside holds a unique place in American history — a Frederick Law Olmsted-designed community with National Historic Landmark status, curving tree-lined streets, and homes that reflect over a century of architectural heritage. Working on these homes isn't like working anywhere else. It requires a contractor who understands the materials, the construction methods, and the details that make Riverside's homes irreplaceable.
RJD Craft Co. has been serving Riverside and the surrounding western suburbs since 1999. Jason Dixon brings 25+ years of hands-on general contracting experience to every project. As a former Nationwide insurance agent, he understands how to navigate claims for historic properties — where replacement costs often exceed standard estimates. Riverside homeowners get a contractor who fights for the full quality their homes deserve.
The Des Plaines River that winds through Riverside adds beauty but also risk. Water damage from flooding, storms, and aging plumbing is a real concern for homeowners here. We've handled dozens of water damage rebuilds in the area and understand what these homes need. We also serve neighboring Brookfield, Lyons, La Grange, and the greater western suburbs.

Our 1920s home near Scottsdale Avenue had serious water damage in the kitchen. The restoration company wanted to use cheap materials that didn't match the house at all. Jason understood immediately what our home needed. He matched the original woodwork, refinished the floors to look like new, and the whole project was covered by insurance.
