Historic home restoration — preserving and restoring original architectural details, millwork, windows, and masonry while replacing all mechanical systems and modernizing kitchens and baths — is among our most demanding project types. Glencoe's early 20th century housing stock includes homes of genuine architectural significance that reward careful restoration. We manage both the restoration scope and all permitting.

Yes. Custom additions — designed to integrate seamlessly with historic homes — are an active project type in Glencoe. The best additions in historically significant neighborhoods are architecturally coherent with the original structure. A primary suite addition typically runs $200,000 to $450,000; a full rear addition runs $280,000 to $600,000. We work in coordination with architects to ensure the addition matches the original home's character.

A luxury kitchen renovation in Glencoe typically runs $120,000 to $320,000 depending on size, custom millwork scope, and appliance specification. Full custom cabinetry, imported stone, and professional-grade appliances are standard. Butler's pantry, preparation kitchen, and breakfast room renovations are common companion projects at this scale.
