Home Remodeling & General Contracting in Bolingbrook, IL

Bolingbrook grew in two distinct waves, and the remodeling work follows the same split. The 1970s and 1980s neighborhoods are on their second or third owner and their first serious renovation; the 1990s and 2000s subdivisions are just now reaching the age where builder-grade finishes give out.

The housing stock in Bolingbrook

Winston Woods, Colonial Village and the older sections off Briarcliffe are full of splits, bi-levels and modest colonials with closed kitchens, small baths and unfinished lower levels. Americana Estates and the newer subdivisions toward Weber Road have larger footprints, two-story foyers and cavernous unfinished basements that were always intended to be finished later.

What that means for your project

In the newer half of town the basement is the obvious project — the space is already there, dry and full height, and finishing it adds a family room, an office and often a bath for a fraction of what an addition costs. In the older half it is kitchens and baths first. Both benefit from patios and decks, because lots here are big enough to use.
