Home Remodeling Across Highland Park
Highland Park is spread out, and each part of it has its own kind of home.
Ravinia
Older homes on tree-lined streets near the festival and the Ravinia shops. Kitchens and second-floor baths are common updates.
Downtown Highland Park
Homes and condos near Central Avenue and the Metra station. Condo projects need building approval first.
Fort Sheridan
Former Army buildings turned into homes, along with newer houses. Remodels here need care with historic details and any association rules.
West of Route 41
Ranches, split-levels and newer two-story homes. Finished basements and open kitchens fit these homes well.

Plans That Fit Highland Park Home Styles
- Older lakefront homes: large rooms and older systems. New kitchens and baths often need new wiring and plumbing.
- Prairie-style homes: wood trim, built-ins and long lines. We work with the original design.
- Mid-century modern homes: big windows and open plans. We keep the clean look and update what is worn out.
- Ranches and split-levels: solid homes with dated kitchens and baths. Lower levels make good family rooms.
Historic Homes and Ravine Lots
Highland Park has many historic homes and a Historic Preservation Commission. Its lakefront is also cut by deep ravines.
- Most inside work goes ahead as normal
- Outside changes to a local landmark may need review, so we check before we plan
- Ravine and bluff lots need careful planning for access, deliveries and dumpsters
- We protect trees, lawns and driveways during the job
