Remodeling in Arlington Heights

What building in Arlington Heights actually involves

Arlington Heights has one of the most active downtowns in the northwest suburbs and a huge inventory of postwar housing around it — a combination that keeps property values up and makes renovating a 1950s ranch a sound decision rather than a sentimental one.

The housing stock in Arlington Heights

Scarsdale, Stonegate and the neighborhoods south of Central Road are dominated by 1950s and 1960s ranches and split-levels on flat lots with mature trees. Nearer the downtown Metra station there are older homes from the 1920s and earlier, and the areas around the former Arlington Park site are seeing renewed attention as that redevelopment moves forward.

What that means for your project

The ranch is the defining project here. It has a good roof structure, a solid foundation and a floor plan built for 1958 — which means the highest-value work is removing the kitchen wall, adding a primary suite off the back, or dormering the attic. All three are structural, and all three are what we do.

Questions from Arlington Heights homeowners

Before you call a contractor

What areas do you serve?
We work across Chicagoland, covering much of Cook, DuPage, Will and Lake counties. That includes Naperville, Orland Park, Chicago, Oak Park, Downers Grove, Wheaton, Elmhurst, Oak Brook, Lombard, Bolingbrook, Plainfield, Joliet, New Lenox, Tinley Park, Homer Glen, Mokena, Frankfort, Lemont, Schaumburg and Arlington Heights, plus the surrounding suburbs. If your town is not on the list, call and ask — the coverage area is wider than the pages we have written.
Do you offer free estimates?
Yes. Call or text (847) 975-0476, or send the estimate form on this site, and we will come out, look at the project and give you a written estimate at no cost and with no obligation.
What services do you offer?
Full home remodeling, kitchen and bathroom remodeling, basement finishing, home and second-floor additions, new construction, interior remodeling and finish carpentry, exterior work and masonry including tuckpointing, patios and decks, demolition and gut-outs, and damage restoration and rebuilds.
Do you handle a full project from demolition through finishes?
Yes — that is how we prefer to work. The same company that takes the walls down puts them back up: demolition, framing, mechanical rough-ins, drywall, cabinetry, tile, flooring and finish carpentry. You are not left coordinating six separate trades, and there is no gap between them where responsibility gets lost.
Do you work with investors, landlords and commercial clients?
Yes. Alongside homeowner remodels we take on full gut renovations and new construction for real-estate investors and flippers, work for apartment and multi-unit owners, and commercial build-outs and remodels. Investor projects are scoped around the numbers, with a finish level chosen to match what the property and the market actually call for.
