Built around Wilmette's homes, not a generic checklist.
The typical Wilmette home is about 68 years old, with a median home value near $685,000. That matters when we scope project access, finish level, permit timing, and how much discovery to expect behind walls, under floors, or on the roof deck.
We regularly plan around colonial, Tudor, Cape Cod, and ranch housing styles and neighborhood patterns in East Wilmette, Kenilworth Gardens, and Indian Hill. The result is a project plan that fits the home before a trade partner ever opens a toolbox.
