Homes we remodel in Elmhurst
Elmhurst mixes 1920s Prairie-influenced and Colonial homes near downtown and Wilder Park, a lot of post-war brick ranches and Capes, and many teardown-and-rebuild new homes. Older Elmhurst homes often have a kitchen at the back, a single upstairs bathroom and an unfinished basement full of potential.
What Elmhurst homeowners ask us to build
Elmhurst clients ask us for kitchen and family room combinations, primary suite bathrooms, finished basements with a guest bath, and fresh flooring and paint before putting a home on the market.

Peach tub alcove to a walk-in tile shower
A 1970s arched alcove with a peach tub and sliding glass came out to the studs. In went a curbless-style walk-in shower with a built-in bench, a full-width shampoo niche and brushed gold fixtures.
