Our home remodeling services →Bathroom Remodeling in Glencoe
Older homes near downtown Glencoe and the Metra station often have second-floor baths due for a change. We replace old tubs with walk-in showers, add glass doors and new vanities, and plan new plumbing where older lakefront houses need it.
Our bathroom remodeling services →Kitchen Remodeling in Glencoe
In Glencoe Colonials and West Glencoe ranches, the kitchen is often closed off from the family room. We open the space, fit new or refaced cabinets and an island, and in Prairie-style homes we plan cabinets around the original wood trim, not over it.
Our kitchen remodeling services →General Contracting in Glencoe
Ravine and bluff lots near Glencoe Beach need a plan for dumpsters, deliveries and access, with heavy loads kept away from slopes. We file Village of Glencoe permits, check landmark review for outside changes, and build decks, patios, porches and additions while protecting trees and lawns.

Architect-designed homes in Ravine Bluffs and older houses near the lake call for floors that match the original woodwork. We refinish and repair hardwood with care, and lay LVP or tile in West Glencoe ranch kitchens and finished basements.

Plans That Fit Glencoe Home Styles
- Prairie-style homes: low lines, wood trim and built-ins. We work around the original details, not over them.
- Older lakefront homes: large rooms and older systems. Kitchens and baths often need new wiring and plumbing too.
- Colonials: separate rooms on the main floor. Opening the kitchen makes family life easier.
- Ranches: one floor and often a full basement. Easy access and room for a step-free bath.
Ravine Lots and Architect-Designed Homes
Glencoe has deep ravines near the lake and many homes by well-known architects. Both change how a remodel is planned.
- Steep or wooded lots need a plan for dumpsters, deliveries and access
- We protect trees, lawns and driveways during the job
- Original woodwork, windows and built-ins are kept or matched
- Designated landmarks may need village review before outside changes
