Invested in your comfort
and safety for 70+ years.
A full-service insulation and fireproofing contractor — proudly run from one office in Mount Prospect, Illinois.
Part of your community — protecting it for generations.
We run our entire business from one office in Mount Prospect, so we’re proud to be part of the community we’ve helped build.
Wilkin is a small, family-owned business that employs your friends and neighbors. We’re small enough to give you the personal touch you need, but big enough to handle any project you have.
“Wilkin may be invested in the community we’ve helped build — but above all, we work for you.”
Our commitments
Vendor-neutral materials
We purchase top-quality materials from numerous manufacturers, so we’re never tied to one product. Our estimators choose exactly what you need — and keep you on budget.
Union-trained tradesmen
Every field employee is a fully trained union tradesman, certified in proper application techniques by the manufacturers of the products we install.
Screened for dependability
Our people pass pre-employment screening — drug testing, background checks and complete physicals — for top-notch workmanship you can trust.
Safety is part of the job.
Beyond product certification, our crews receive certified training in safety, CPR, OSHA compliance, and scaffold building, maintenance and usage.
