Barrington is home to Walgreens and Baxter International. Thousands of executive families live here. It is one of Chicago's most sought-after Northwest Suburbs. Median home values run $600K to $828K. The village has 83.3% owner-occupancy. It covers 7,705 housing units across 5.57 square miles. We are a licensed design-build general contractor. We specialize in home remodeling in Barrington, IL. Our work covers kitchen remodel, bathroom remodel, basement finishing, and whole home remodel. Every project runs on a fixed-price proposal. Zero change orders in 12+ years.
The Village of Barrington has mostly 1960s to 1980s colonials and ranches. About 13% are pre-1940 homes near the Victorian downtown. All are strong candidates for kitchen guts, bathroom renovations, and basement finishing. Barrington Hills is different. Here you find estate homes of 4,000 to 10,000+ sq ft on 5 to 60 acre parcels. These need estate-scale design-build work. We handle full wing renovations, primary suite additions, equestrian facility upgrades, and chef kitchen installations. Both villages share a 40 to 50% radon elevated rate. That is the highest in the Chicagoland suburbs we serve. Both also require every contractor to register with the village before any permit is issued. Our in-house designers and crews handle each project from permit to final walkthrough. One fixed-price contract covers it all.

We know Barrington's post-war housing stock well. A well-built 1960s ranch has strong open-plan potential. A classic split-level has unique staircase configurations. A 1970s colonial often just needs a modern kitchen and a finished basement. We have never issued a change order in 12+ years. Every project is fixed-price from day one.
Our Illinois-made custom cabinetry ships in 4 to 6 weeks. Zero import tariffs. Choose any style and any wood species.

Real reviews from Barrington homeowners. From Northwest Suburbs homeowners too. They chose Assembly Squad for their remodel.
"We had our 1967 ranch completely redone. New kitchen with an open floor plan. Two updated bathrooms. The basement finished as a home office and playroom. Assembly Squad's fixed price never moved by a dollar. Delivered in 16 weeks from first consult to final walkthrough. Best contractor experience we've had in 20 years."
"Kitchen remodeling in Barrington done right. We removed a load-bearing wall for an open floor plan. We installed custom Illinois-made cabinets. We finished the whole project in 9 weeks. Viktor's team was transparent from day one. The fixed price was the final invoice. Nothing like our experience with other contractors."

The Village of Barrington Development Services handles all residential permits. They are at 200 S. Hough Street. Call (847) 304-3400 to verify contractor registration. Call (847) 304-3460 to schedule inspections. You need 24-hour advance notice. The village uses the 2018 International Codes with local amendments. Many DuPage County suburbs use the 2021 IRC instead. Critical rule: all contractors and subcontractors must be registered with the Village before any permit is issued. Unregistered contractors will delay your project. Permits are reviewed in the order received. Payment is due at permit pickup. Assembly Squad is registered with the Village and manages all permitting for clients.
Barrington Hills is a strictly residential village. It has a 5-acre minimum lot size. No commercial businesses are allowed. This zoning creates estate homes of 4,000 to 10,000+ square feet on 5 to 60 acre parcels. Styles include Colonial Revivals, French chateaus, contemporary estates, and equestrian properties. Median sold home price was $1,225,000 in April 2025. Barrington Hills permits are handled separately from the Village of Barrington. Schedule inspections through B&F Construction Code Services at (847) 428-7010. Estate work needs a contractor who knows large-footprint projects, horse facilities, and multi-wing logistics. Assembly Squad serves both communities.
About 40 to 50% of Barrington Area homes test high for radon. That rate is much higher than DuPage County suburbs. Hinsdale and Glen Ellyn only hit 15 to 20%. The Barrington Area sits in EPA Zone 2 (2.0 to 4.0 pCi/L). Local soil and geology push readings even higher in practice. Any basement project in Barrington or Barrington Hills needs sub-slab depressurization. The cost runs $800 to $2,500. It must be installed before framing begins. Assembly Squad includes radon mitigation as standard scope on every basement project. It is never an optional add-on. Lake County Radon Program: (847) 377-8030. Cook County Dept of Public Health: (708) 633-4000.
The main reason is Barrington CUSD District 220. Niche named it the #1 Best Unit School District in Illinois in 2024. Barrington High School ranks #23 in the state. Families who land in District 220 do not leave by choice. The second reason is the mortgage rate trap. Trading a 3 to 4% rate for today's 6 to 7%+ adds $15,000 to $25,000 per year. The third reason is transaction costs. These hit $45,000 to $80,000+ at Barrington price points. A $90,000 kitchen remodel almost always beats moving out of the district.
2026 import tariffs raised material costs 8 to 15% vs 2024. Lumber is up 8 to 12%. Steel framing is up 10 to 15%. At Barrington Hills estate scale ($300K to $1M+ projects), the dollar impact is large. Assembly Squad protects clients two ways. First, we use Illinois-made custom cabinetry. It has zero tariff exposure and 4 to 6 week lead times. Second, our fixed-price proposals lock in all material costs before construction. Demand a fixed-price contract. Cost-plus pricing in 2026 is risk you don't need.
