Remodeling in Lemont
What building in Lemont actually involves
Lemont sits on bluffs above the Des Plaines River valley and the I&M Canal, and it is the only town on our list where topography is a real factor in a remodeling estimate. Sloped lots change how you approach foundations, walkouts, patios and drainage.
The housing stock in Lemont
The historic downtown and the streets climbing away from it hold nineteenth-century homes built from the local dolomite limestone that was quarried here and shipped across the region. Above and around them are 1970s through 1990s homes on hillside lots, plus newer subdivision building near Ruffled Feathers and the southern edge of the village.
What that means for your project
Masonry matters more here than almost anywhere else we work — old limestone and brick that has taken 150 winters needs repointing done with a matched mortar, not a harder modern mix that will damage the stone. On the hillside houses, walkout basements and tiered patios are the projects that take advantage of the grade instead of fighting it.

The standard we build to
Full Kitchen Remodel
A dated oak kitchen taken back to a bright, open cook space — white shaker cabinetry, stone counters, a bay window over the sink and wide-plank hardwood running through to the hearth room.
Basement Gut Renovation & Wet Bar
A basement stripped to studs and floor joists, then finished as a living space with a full wet bar — white cabinetry, stacked-stone backsplash, wine fridge, wainscot paneling and dark hardwood floors.
Second-Floor Addition
A full second story framed and wrapped over the brick first floor of a Chicago-style home, with the new gable roofline set and the structure dried in.
