Homes we remodel in River Grove
River Grove is a small village of bungalows, Cape Cods and ranches tucked against the Des Plaines River and the forest preserves. Homes here are compact, so smart layouts matter more than square footage.
What River Grove homeowners ask us to build
Our River Grove projects are usually kitchen remodels, bathroom remodels and basement work, with careful attention to moisture.

Kitchen Remodeling in River Grove
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 River Grove
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.

Basement Remodeling in River Grove
A finished basement is the cheapest square footage you will ever add to a Chicago-area home, as long as it stays dry.

River Grove sits right on the Des Plaines River, so we treat every basement and lower level here as a moisture project first. That means checking drainage and the sump, then using materials that can handle a wet season.

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.
