Hallway Renovations in Chicagoland for Remodeling in Lake Forest, IL, by people who know Remodeling in Lake Forest, IL.
Few towns hold their architecture to the standard Lake Forest does. The estates and period homes here were built with millwork that is part of the home’s identity, and a hallway renovation that ignores that does damage even when it looks clean. The work has to respect the original architecture, which means understanding the profiles before touching them.
That’s where our hall work concentrates: casing, base, paneling and crown matched to what the house already speaks. We document the existing profiles, mill or source to replicate them where pieces are missing or were lost in an earlier remodel, and integrate new detail so the seam between old and new disappears. A wainscot or applied molding goes in only where the home’s age and proportion genuinely call for it, not as decoration bolted on.
The reward is a corridor that reads as original architecture rather than a refresh. In a community where homes are valued partly for how faithfully their period character survives, a hallway with correct, hand-fitted trim quietly affirms the rest of the house, where a careless one undermines it. We’d rather match the home’s vocabulary exactly than introduce a detail it never had.
Hallway and entryway transformations — flooring, paint, lighting, trim, and storage built-ins.

How much does a typical kitchen or bathroom remodel cost?
Bathroom remodels in our area typically run $18,000–$45,000. Mid-range kitchens are usually $35,000–$80,000 — full custom kitchens can reach $120,000+. We give you a fixed-price quote in writing after the in-home estimate, so you know the exact number before signing anything.
-
How long will my project take?
A bathroom is usually 3–5 weeks from demo to final walkthrough. A standard kitchen runs 6–8 weeks. Basement finishes are 5–8 weeks. We give you a written schedule before we start — and because we use our own in-house crew, we don't lose days waiting on a subcontractor to show up.
-
Do you handle the permits and inspections?
Yes — every time. We pull the permits, schedule the inspections, and meet with the inspectors. You don't deal with the village. We handle Buffalo Grove, Arlington Heights, Lombard, Glen Ellyn, Wheaton, and the rest of our service area.
-
Can we live in the house during the remodel?
Almost always, yes. We seal off the work zone with plastic, set up a temporary kitchen if we're remodeling yours, vacuum daily, and do a deep clean at the end. Most clients stay in the home for the full project — we plan the sequence around your daily life.
-
How do payments work?
A small deposit at signing, then progress payments tied to milestones (rough-in complete, drywall complete, final walkthrough). You never pre-pay for work that hasn't started. Final payment is only released after you sign off on the final walkthrough — not before.
