Homes we remodel in Evanston
Evanston has grand Victorians, Queen Annes and Prairie homes near the lake, classic foursquares and bungalows inland, and many vintage courtyard condo buildings. Many homes are more than a hundred years old, with plaster walls, old plumbing and tight kitchens that were never meant to be the center of the house.
What Evanston homeowners ask us to build
In Evanston we rebuild kitchens inside older footprints, bring vintage bathrooms up to date while keeping their charm, and renovate condos in older buildings.

Kitchen Remodeling in Evanston
Most Chicago-area kitchens we walk into were built for a different way of living: a closed room, a peninsula that blocks traffic, oak cabinets that ran out of room years ago.

Bathroom Remodeling in Evanston
A bathroom is the room where cheap work shows up first: grout that cracks, a shower that leaks into the ceiling below, a vanity that swells.

Single oak vanity to a navy double vanity
One small oak vanity with a vessel sink became a navy double vanity with a quartz top, two framed mirrors and crystal sconces, so two people can get ready at once.
