Home Remodeling in Highland Park — Where Ravines Meet Renovation

Highland Park sits on a 100-foot bluff along six miles of Lake Michigan shoreline, cut by deep wooded ravines that extend up to a mile inland. This geography shaped the architecture—Frank Lloyd Wright, Howard Van Doren Shaw, and David Adler all designed homes here that respond to the terrain. Renovating in Highland Park means understanding how the land, the light, and the structure work together before touching a single wall.

We've completed 500+ renovation projects across Chicago and the North Shore, including kitchens, bathrooms, basements, and whole-home transformations for Highland Park homeowners in Ravinia, Braeside, and neighborhoods throughout the city. Every project starts with understanding the home—its era, its original design intent, and what needs to change to fit your family today.

Highland Park Home Remodeling Reviews

Hear From Highland Park Homeowners

Real reviews from families who renovated their Highland Park homes with Assembly Squad.

"We bought a 1938 Tudor near Ravinia and the kitchen was completely original — tiny, dark, cut off from the rest of the house. Assembly Squad opened it to the dining room, installed beautiful custom cabinets that respect the home's proportions, and added a quartzite island that's become the center of everything. Seven weeks, on budget, no drama."

"Our split-level in Braeside needed a complete overhaul — both bathrooms, the basement, and a kitchen that hadn't been touched since the '80s. Viktor's team handled all of it as one coordinated project. The basement waterproofing was critical given our ravine lot drainage, and they absolutely nailed it. Finished on budget in 16 weeks."

Frequently Asked Questions

Home Remodeling in Highland Park — Your Questions Answered

Practical answers for homeowners planning a renovation in Highland Park, IL.

It depends on scope. Kitchen remodeling runs $45,000–$150,000. Bathroom renovations cost $25,000–$75,000. Basement finishing ranges from $35,000–$120,000. A whole-home renovation covering kitchen, bathrooms, living areas, and mechanical upgrades typically runs $120,000–$300,000 for Highland Park homes. We provide a fixed-price proposal with every detail spelled out before construction begins.
The City of Highland Park requires building permits for structural, electrical, and plumbing work through its Community Development Department. Highland Park also has a Historic Preservation Commission that reviews changes to properties within designated historic districts — there are four National Register districts in the city. We handle all permit applications, plan submissions, historic review coordination, and inspector scheduling so you don't have to.
That's exactly what we specialize in. Highland Park has landmark structures by Frank Lloyd Wright, Howard Van Doren Shaw, and David Adler. The key is understanding what the original architect intended—the proportions, the material palette, the relationship between rooms—and upgrading every system and surface while keeping that design intent intact. We modernize kitchens, bathrooms, and mechanicals without erasing the architecture.
Kitchen remodels take 5-8 weeks. Bathroom renovations run 4-6 weeks. Basement finishing takes 6-10 weeks. Whole-home renovations covering multiple rooms and systems take 12-20 weeks. We build a detailed week-by-week schedule during the design phase so you know exactly what to expect before demolition day.
Yes. We serve Highland Park and the entire surrounding North Shore including Deerfield, Northbrook, Lake Forest, Glencoe, Wilmette, Winnetka, and Barrington. The housing stock across these communities shares similar characteristics and benefits from the same expertise we bring to every Highland Park project.
Fully. We hold Illinois General Contractor License #TGC098779 and maintain comprehensive liability insurance and workers' compensation coverage. We're A+ rated by the Better Business Bureau with zero complaints on record, EPA Lead-Safe certified, and members of the National Kitchen & Bath Association.
