Home Remodeling & General Contracting in Naperville, IL

Naperville is where Ultimate Touch Home Remodeling is based, and it is the town we know in the most detail. It is also a town with four or five distinct housing eras inside the same city limits, which is why a remodeling quote here depends far more on which part of Naperville you live in than on the square footage.

The housing stock in Naperville

Near the historic district and Naper Settlement you find Victorians, foursquares and small bungalows with plaster walls, undersized service panels and the framing habits of a century ago. Cress Creek and Hobson West are largely 1970s and 1980s — split-levels, quad-levels and colonials with closed-off kitchens and original baths. South of 75th Street, in neighborhoods like White Eagle, Ashbury and Tall Grass, the houses are big and structurally sound but reaching the age where kitchens, primary baths and basements are all due at once.

What that means for your project

Anything visible from the street in the older core is worth checking against the city's historic-district guidelines before you commit to a design. And with two school districts drawing families in, most of the work we are asked about here is space — finishing the basement, opening the kitchen to the family room, or adding a bedroom and bath rather than moving.
