A BIT ABOUT US.
Blackwood Group was founded by Jose A. Duarte, P.E. LEED AP in 2007. Since then Blackwood has maintained consistent growth even through the great recession of 2008. Since that time, Blackwood has proudly and successfully completed a variety of projects throughout the Chicagoland area in the residential, commercial, mixed use, and light industrial/warehousing sectors.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS THINK
Our last project was particularly special given the location and all the headwinds we faced while driving a condensed construction scheduled. Please let your team know that the long hours and holidays they sacrificed didn’t go unnoticed. You’re a true partner to the brand and we can’t thank you enough for all that you do.

The Blackwood Group has a team of talented and hardworking crews and managers with the right approach to tackle unique and challenging project situations. Blackwood is a company with a strong design and building capacity.

Blackwood is a team of professionals whose partnership was vital to Rayito de Sol’s success while entering into the Chicago market. I would describe their operation and staff as knowledgeable, efficient, and trustworthy; an amazing group of specialists in their field! They have exceeded my expectations and provided me with the opportunity to work with like- minded Latino entrepreneurs who share a similar vision of continuing to make a positive difference in this beautiful country through hard work and taking pride in what you do.
