About Brightside · Bunker Hill, IL
Meet the local family business.
Brightside is a small family exterior contractor right here in Bunker Hill. When you call, you get Ryan or someone on his crew, not a voicemail tree. We fix decks, siding, windows, gutters, door frames, and ceilings, and we move fast when the weather hits your house.
Who we are
A real person stands behind every job
Ryan Poirrier started Brightside Construction in Bunker Hill in 2022. He answers the phone, he gives the estimate, and he answers for the work when it is done. There is no call center between you and the person doing the job. When you hire Brightside, you know exactly whose name is on it.
We are locally owned and operated, not a franchise and not an out-of-town outfit that rolls through after a storm. We live and work in the same area you do, which means we are still here next season when you need us again.
Our own crew, not subcontractors
The people on your house are our crew, the same team job after job. We do not hand your project to a rotating set of subcontractors you have never met. That is how we keep the quality consistent and how Ryan can stand behind every deck, every length of siding, and every gutter we touch.
What we value
We keep it simple: reliable, fair, and prompt. We show up when we say we will, we price the work reasonably and name the number up front, and when the weather damages your home we respond fast. We are not the cheapest and we are not trying to be the fanciest. We are the family business you can count on to do it right and answer when you need us.
Newer, and honest about it
Brightside has been at this since 2022, and we would rather be straight with you about that than pad it. What matters more than a long sign out front is whether the company is insured, accountable, and responsive. We are BBB A+ rated, insured and bonded, and a real person answers when you call. Those are the things that protect you, and they are the things we lead with.
The trust you should expect
BBB A+ rated
An A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau. We earn it by doing right by the people we work for.
Insured & bonded

Local family since 2022
Owned and run by Ryan Poirrier out of Bunker Hill. A neighbor you can reach, not a number in a directory.
About questions
Good questions, answered
Are you licensed, insured, and bonded?
Brightside is insured and bonded, and we are BBB A+ rated. Illinois has no statewide license for general remodeling, so there is no state contractor license to hold. We are happy to show proof of insurance before any work starts so you know exactly who is on your property.
Do you use your own crew or subcontractors?
Our own crew does the work. When you hire Brightside, the people on your house are Ryan and his team, not a rotating set of subcontractors. That is how we keep the quality consistent and stand behind every job.
