Our home remodeling services →Bathroom Remodeling in Northbrook
Northbrook hall baths from the 1960s and 1970s are often due for new tubs, tile, vanities and vent fans. Primary baths near Northbrook Court and Lake Cook Road can gain a walk-in shower, and ranches suit a step-free shower for easy access.
Our bathroom remodeling services →Kitchen Remodeling in Northbrook
In Northbrook ranches and two-story Colonials, the kitchen is often split from the dining or family room. Once the wall is out, we fit new or refaced cabinets, an island and counters, and give dated kitchens near downtown and Village Green Park a fresh layout.
Our kitchen remodeling services →General Contracting in Northbrook
Split-levels, bi-levels and ranches in Northbrook each have their own wall, duct and plumbing limits. We check which walls carry weight, plan a beam where needed, file the Village of Northbrook permit, and build decks, patios and home additions on these post-war lots.
Our general contracting services →Flooring in Northbrook
Split-level lower rooms in Northbrook often need new floors, and homes near the West Fork need materials that handle moisture. We install LVP and tile on lower levels, refinish or add hardwood in main rooms, and match wood floors in hallways.

Plans That Fit Northbrook Home Styles
- Ranches: one floor and easy access. A good fit for an open kitchen and a step-free shower.
- Split-levels: short stairs between levels. The lower level becomes a family room or guest suite.
- Bi-levels: the kitchen sits up top. The lower floor has room for a bath and a home office.
- Two-story Colonials: separate formal rooms. Many owners join the kitchen and family room.
Updating Mid-Century Layouts
Many Northbrook homes were built in the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s. The houses are solid, but kitchens, baths and lower levels are often dated.
- Walls between kitchen and dining room often come out, with a beam if needed
- Split-level lower rooms get new floors, lighting and storage
- Homes near the river may sit in a flood zone, so we check before finishing a basement
- Older hall baths get new tubs, tile, vanities and vent fans
