Homes we remodel in Oak Park
Oak Park has one of the richest collections of older homes in the country: Victorians, Prairie School houses, foursquares, stucco and brick homes from the 1890s to the 1920s, and classic two-flats and courtyard buildings. These homes have plaster walls, old-growth trim and quirky floor plans, and they reward contractors who slow down.
What Oak Park homeowners ask us to build
In Oak Park we most often rebuild kitchens inside older footprints, restore and modernize vintage bathrooms with period-appropriate tile, and turn dark basements into usable rooms.
Kitchen Remodeling in Oak Park
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 Oak Park
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.

Parts of Oak Park are historic districts, where exterior changes can need review before work starts. Most interior remodels do not, but older wiring and plumbing are common, so we plan the update into the job instead of finding it halfway through.

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.
