Whole-Home Renovation

Design & Build

We draw it, then we build exactly that. Architecture, permits and construction under one contract — with the scope, the price and the finish date fixed before demolition. Veteran-owned, Elmhurst. Serving DuPage, Cook, Will, Kane and Lake.

Project story · Whole-home design & build

Drawn once.
Built exactly.

Most renovations drift. The drawings say one thing, the budget says another, and what gets built is whatever survived the argument. This is the same house we drew before demolition — the rendering and the finished photograph are two panels apart below.

The front elevation

Existing → Drawn → Built

01
As we found it
Dated roofline, closed-off entry, no relationship between the garage and the front door.
02
The design
Drawn before demolition. Every material, window and roofline decided on paper first.
03
Built as drawn
The finished house. Compare it to the rendering — that is the whole promise of design-build.

Inside the house

Drag to compare

Main floor before and after the renovation — after

BeforeAfter

Main floor

Closed-off living and dining rooms opened into one room that runs front to back, anchored by a new island kitchen and a rebuilt fireplace surround.

Stair hall before and after the renovation — after

BeforeAfter

Stair hall

Carpet and patterned wallpaper gone. New oak treads and rail, and a clear sightline from the front door through to the back of the house.

Bathroom before and after the gut renovation — after

BeforeAfter

Bathroom

Full gut renovation. Floor-to-ceiling porcelain tile, a recessed shower niche, new vanity, tub and fixtures — the green tile and foil wallpaper gone entirely.

Your project starts the same way this one did — with drawings, a scope and a firm number before anyone picks up a hammer.
