in Wheaton, Illinois

Wheaton is DuPage County's seat and one of the most established communities in the western suburban corridor — a large city with a walkable downtown, two Metra lines, excellent schools, and a housing stock that spans Victorian-era homes and Craftsman bungalows from the late 19th and early 20th centuries to postwar ranches and colonials to newer custom construction in more recent subdivisions. The city's combination of historic character, strong schools, and transit access has made it one of the most consistently valued markets in the entire DuPage County corridor.
32 Build works throughout DuPage County and the broader Chicagoland area, delivering whole-house renovations, historic home renovations, home additions, and kitchen and bath remodels in Wheaton and adjacent communities. The city's diverse housing stock spans nearly every era of residential construction — vintage Victorian and Craftsman homes near the downtown, postwar ranches and colonials in the residential neighborhoods, and larger custom homes in subdivisions developed through the 1990s — each requiring different renovation approaches.
Wheaton renovation projects reflect the city's long-term owner character and architectural diversity. Kitchen and bath renovations, rear and second-story additions, and comprehensive whole-house updates are the most active project types in a market where quality renovation is well supported by the city's strong fundamentals.

Did you know
Wheaton is home to Wheaton College, a prominent Christian liberal arts institution founded in 1860 — one of the oldest colleges in Illinois and a major institutional presence that has shaped the city's cultural character for over 160 years. The college's campus and the institutional employment it provides have been a stabilizing force in Wheaton's residential market through multiple economic cycles. Wheaton was also the home of Billy Graham, the influential evangelist who was a Wheaton College graduate and maintained deep ties to the city throughout his life. The combination of the college and Wheaton's historic identity as a center of evangelical Christian culture gives the city a distinctive character among DuPage County communities.
