Our home remodeling services →Bathroom Remodeling in Winnetka
Primary baths with a walk-in shower, glass doors and a double vanity are a common request in Winnetka homes near Hubbard Woods. Under steep Tudor roofs we plan around sloped ceilings, and we check floor framing before heavy tile goes in upstairs.
Our bathroom remodeling services →Kitchen Remodeling in Winnetka
In Winnetka Colonial Revivals, a kitchen opened to the family room with a large island changes how the house lives. Mid-century homes near Crow Island School are often ready for new cabinets, counters and backsplash in a fresh layout.
Our kitchen remodeling services →General Contracting in Winnetka
Winnetka has a Landmark Preservation Commission, so we check early whether outside changes to an older home, like a porch or addition, need review. We then file the Village of Winnetka permit, book inspections and plan driveway space for the dumpster and deliveries.
Our general contracting services →Flooring in Winnetka
Older Winnetka homes near Elm Street and Hubbard Woods often have wood floors that must blend with original trim, doors and built-ins. We refinish or patch hardwood so new rooms match, lay tile in baths and mudrooms, and choose LVP or tile for finished basements.
