You can meet our newest estimator, Gabe Schillman, at the Galena Territory Owner’s Meeting Exhibitor Show this Saturday, February 28, 2026 at Eagle Ridge Resort & Spa.

Gabe is a third-generation builder and has owned construction companies in Michigan and Tennessee. He is following in the footsteps of his grandfather who started the Schillman Building Company in the 1950s, and his father who took over the business in 1984. Gabe started young, getting his Michigan builder’s license at age 18.

For fifteen years in Nashville, Gabe specialized in high end custom carpentry and cabinets with a crew of 12 employees. He worked in the homes of some of the biggest names in country music.

In 2017 he moved back to Michigan and established PRCG (Pre-Renovation Consulting Group), where he consulted with homeowners on remodeling projects for their homes. He also ran a carpentry crew installing custom cabinetry.

And now we are very fortunate to have him join Oak Leaf Construction & Electrical! Come out to meet Gabe in Galena this Saturday, give us a call at 815-541-5262, or visit https://oakleafhomecompany.com/contact/ to discuss your home renovation ideas with Gabe!

We love Northwest Illinois for the weather, and we also hate Northwest Illinois for the weather . . . but this Galena client won’t be afraid of long power outages anymore!

Oak Leaf Construction & Electrical installed a 24KW Generac Standby Generator. A permanently installed standby generator sits next to your home like an air conditioner unit, and it is always ready. No dragging it out of the garage during a storm! When power is lost for any reason, the standby generator powers up within seconds. Keep the furnace running to keep your family warm and prevent frozen pipes during a winter storm, as well as just keeping lights running and the microwave working to continue living comfortably while your neighbors suffer in a long power outage. A standby generator starts working whether you are home or not, and then shuts itself off when power is restored. It is a great idea for anyone, but especially important in a weekend home that sits empty during the workweek.

Give us a call to discuss installing a generator for your home at 815-541-5262 or visit https://oakleafhomecompany.com/contact/ to discuss your ideas!
