Home remodeling for Kenilworth homeowners

Kenilworth, founded by Joseph Sears in 1889, is a small lakefront village known for its early 20th-century houses, including work by architect George Maher. Homes with this kind of history call for remodels that respect the original details while updating how the rooms work. 123 Remodeling is a Chicago-based design-build firm in business since 2008, with a North Shore office in Northfield. Our designers and licensed contractors take your project from first design to final walkthrough, so you work with one company from start to finish.

Planning a remodel in Kenilworth

Structural, plumbing and electrical work usually needs a permit from the Village of Kenilworth. We handle permits as part of your project, along with any condo or homeowners association approvals your home requires. To learn more, read about building permits in Chicago and the suburbs and adapting older North Shore homes for modern families.

Thank you to Tal and the amazing team at 123 Remodeling! Tal met with my parents and me for the addition at their suburban house. They needed to build an additional guest room (grandchildren sleep over a lot)! They helped us with the blueprints and got permits from the village! Our manager had great design ideas and we finished the project just in time for the Summer! 123 took the time to talk to us every step of the way and their working crew was very friendly and tried to keep the mess from spreading throughout the home as much as possible. After the project was complete, Tal followed up to make sure there were no issues. Highly recommend this company for any remodel. Really stress-free and came out great! Thanks again, 5 stars well deserved! James O., Kenilworth, IL. Rated 4.8 by our customers. Read more reviews.

Home remodeling questions

Can you provide a cost estimate for my project?

Yes, and it’s free. We’ll visit your home to measure the space and discuss your needs and budget, then send an estimate with budget ranges for each stage of the renovation.

What does your design fee cover?

The design fee covers the plans and renderings our staff prepares for your project, with unlimited design revisions until you’re happy with the result. It’s included in your final contract total, so it isn’t an added expense. Once the design is final, we move on to the next steps: material selection, shopping, permits and, finally, construction.

Do I need an interior designer for home remodeling?

If you want your home to be as beautiful as it is functional, a designer’s input is a must. Our in-house interior designers are part of our design-build process, and if you’d like to bring your own designer, we can work with them.

Do you need a permit to remodel a home in Kenilworth?

It depends on the work. Cosmetic updates may not need one, but plumbing, electrical and structural changes usually do. Permits in Kenilworth go through the local building department, and we handle them as part of your project. If your home is in a condo or homeowners association, its board may also need to approve the work.
