Everything we do for homes in Wheaton, from one room to the whole house.
Home Remodeling in Wheaton
Wheaton has older Victorians and Foursquares near downtown and Wheaton College, and ranches, split-levels and two-stories farther out. We open walls in older homes with beams and fire blocking where it is missing, finish basements near Cantigny Park, and update newer homes around Danada.
Our home remodeling services →Bathroom Remodeling in Wheaton
Older Wheaton homes near downtown often have just one small bath, so we look for room for a powder room in a closet or under the stairs. We also redo upstairs baths near Northside Park and tile tub and shower walls in large-format tile.
Our bathroom remodeling services →Kitchen Remodeling in Wheaton
Closed kitchens are common in older homes near Front Street, while Danada two-stories from the 1980s and 1990s have builder-grade ones. We add islands, better lighting, new or refaced cabinets, countertops and backsplash planned for each kind of house.
Our kitchen remodeling services →General Contracting in Wheaton
Removing a wall in an older Wheaton house means checking what it carries, planning a beam and updating the wiring inside, all under a City of Wheaton permit. We also build porches, decks and patios, and plan home additions on the west side and in South Wheaton.
Our general contracting services →Flooring in Wheaton
Victorians and Foursquares near downtown Wheaton often have wood floors worth refinishing, while newer homes near Danada may need a first flooring update. We install hardwood and LVP, lay tile in kitchens and baths, and put moisture-ready flooring in basements.

Opening Walls in Older Wheaton Homes
Older houses near downtown were built differently than new ones. Before we change a layout, we:
- Check which walls carry weight and plan beams where needed

- Add fire blocking inside open wall cavities where it is missing
- Find space for a second bath or powder room in a small footprint
