ACL INNOVATIONS – About Us
Transform Your Home with Confidence
Our Story
Like many great ideas, ACL INNOVATIONS began with a dream, and in a basement. In 2020, our founder, Patrick, fueled by a passion for helping homeowners realize their dream spaces, started ACL INNOVATIONS from his home. It started small but with a clear focus: to revolutionize how kitchen, bathroom, and basement home renovations are managed by offering transparency, quality, and exceptional service.
By 2023, ACL INNOVATIONS had grown enough to open a small showroom in St. Charles, IL., giving clients a hands-on experience with the products and materials they could use in their homes. With every project, we added more services, expanded our team, and partnered with the finest tradespeople in the area. Today, we’re proud to be a trusted name in remodeling management, working with homeowners, realtors, designers, and contractors in St. Charles, IL and the surrounding communities.
“Over the last 20 years I’ve talked to so many clients that were stressed by previous bad experiences- bad contractors, overcharged quotes, and design mistakes. That’s why I built ACL Innovations, not to swing hammers, but to
give homeowners the experienced advocate they never had.” Patrick

What ACL Innovations Does NOT Do
At ACL Innovations, we’re proud to specialize in Remodeling Management — not construction, not general contracting, not design-only services. That means we don’t:
We Don’t Swing Hammers
We’re not the crew. We don’t do demolition, installation, plumbing, electrical, or tile setting ourselves. Instead, we coordinate the best licensed and certified trades to do that work, ensuring quality, accountability, and proper oversight at every step.
We Don’t Sell Labor at a Markup
Unlike general contractors or design-build firms, we don’t profit off the labor. You pay the trades directly or through transparent bundled quotes, often saving you 10–30% by eliminating unnecessary markups.
We Don’t Lock You Into One Designer or Vendor
We aren’t tied to in-house designers or limited product lines. You can bring your own designer, or we’ll connect you with one. You’ll also have access to our vetted suppliers, or we’ll help manage your own selections.
We Don’t Add Hidden Fees
Our management fee is transparent and agreed upon up front. No surprise surcharges. No unnecessary upsells. We advocate for your budget, not ours.
We Don’t Disappear After Demo
We manage the entire process, from pre-construction planning through post-project walkthroughs. If something needs fixing or following up, we’re your go-to, not just a name on a contract.
We Don’t Overpromise or Oversell
If a timeline is unrealistic, we’ll tell you. If a material is backordered, you’ll know first. If a contractor isn’t a good fit, we’ll recommend better. We manage expectations and build trust, not hype.
So What Do We Do?
Act as your trusted remodeling guide
Coordinate top-tier trades and designers
Protect your time, budget, and vision
Deliver smoother, smarter renovations
