Living Room Remodeling planned for how Winnetka homeowners live.
Winnetka living rooms tend to come with a standard already set by the house itself. In a village this full of large historic and architect-designed homes, the original millwork is often the best thing in the room, which makes new work a matter of matching a level of craft rather than inventing one. Built-ins and trim are where that standard is met or missed.
We start by reading what’s there: the profile of an existing crown, the wood and finish of a period bookcase, the way paneling was laid out by an architect who cared about proportion. New cabinetry, shelving or wainscot then gets built to extend that vocabulary, milled to the same profiles and scribed in so it disappears into the architecture instead of competing with it. In a house with real provenance, a clumsy reveal or a mismatched profile reads instantly.
The reward is a living room where you genuinely can’t tell the new work from the old, which is the entire point in homes like these. It’s slow, exacting carpentry, and it’s the kind a family crew that prizes period detail would rather do than rush through.

Five questions every homeowner asks first.
Plain answers — the kind we'd give a neighbor over coffee, not the ones written for a brochure.
Have a different question? Ask during your free estimate →-
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 detailed estimate in writing after the in-home visit, so you see the numbers line by line 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.
