North Shore Contractor

EPA Lead-Safe Certified Firm #NAT-F285417-1 · Kenilworth was planned from 1889, and most of its homes were built long before 1978. Federal RRP rules require an EPA Lead-Safe certified firm for paid renovation that disturbs paint in those homes, and we follow lead-safe practices on every one of them.

Kenilworth, IL Estate Remodeling Experts

Kenilworth Home Remodeling for the North Shore's Historic Estates

Assembly Squad Remodeling is a licensed design-build contractor (City of Chicago GC License #TGC098779) serving Kenilworth, Illinois, for kitchens, bathrooms, basements, custom cabinetry and whole-home renovations. In 2026, Kenilworth kitchens run $95,000 to $350,000 and whole homes $300,000 to $1,000,000 or more, every project on a fixed-price proposal with zero change orders and every Village permit filed for you.

Kenilworth is the smallest of the North Shore's lakefront villages: about 2,500 residents on 0.61 square miles between Wilmette and Winnetka. Joseph Sears planned it from 1889 with large lots, no alleys and high construction standards, and architects such as George W. Maher shaped its early homes. Today that means pre-war Georgian colonials, Prairie-style homes and Tudor revivals with original millwork, butler's pantries and built-ins worth keeping. We handle kitchen remodeling, bathroom renovation, basement finishing and custom cabinetry in Kenilworth under one design-build contract.

Village of Kenilworth

Permits & Historic Review in Kenilworth

The Village of Kenilworth requires building permits for interior remodeling, alterations, additions and roofing work. Applications go to Village Hall with plans, a plat of survey and the contractor's proposal or estimate. When a home is proposed for demolition, the Building Review Commission evaluates its historic and architectural significance, and a significant home can face a demolition delay of up to one year. As your design-build contractor, we prepare the documents, file the application, answer review comments and schedule every inspection.

Kenilworth Remodeling FAQs

Direct answers about Kenilworth homes, Village permits, historic review and our process.

In 2026, Kenilworth kitchen remodels run $95,000 to $350,000, with complete renovations averaging about $165,000. Bathrooms run $25,000 to $90,000, basement finishing $50,000 to $200,000, custom cabinetry $35,000 to $100,000 and whole home renovations $300,000 to $1,000,000 or more. Every Assembly Squad proposal is fixed-price with zero change orders.

Yes. The Village of Kenilworth requires building permits for interior remodeling, alterations, additions and roofing work. Applications go to Village Hall at 419 Richmond Road, (847) 251-1666, with plans, a plat of survey and the contractor's proposal or estimate. Assembly Squad prepares those documents, files the application and schedules every inspection.

Yes, mainly when demolition is proposed. Kenilworth's Building Review Commission evaluates homes slated for demolition, and a home found historically and architecturally significant can face a demolition delay of up to one year while owners explore renovation. Renovating and expanding a significant home is often faster than fighting that delay. We confirm your home's status first.

Almost always. Federal RRP rules require an EPA Lead-Safe Certified Firm for paid renovation that disturbs paint in homes built before 1978, and most Kenilworth homes predate that by decades. Assembly Squad is certified firm #NAT-F285417-1 and follows lead-safe containment, cleaning and verification on every pre-1978 project.

Yes. Kenilworth was planned by Joseph Sears from 1889 with large lots and high construction standards, and architects such as George W. Maher shaped its early homes. We update wiring, plumbing and layouts while preserving original millwork, built-ins, butler's pantries and period proportions, using inset cabinetry and trim profiles that match the house.

Custom cabinetry in Kenilworth typically runs $35,000 to $100,000 depending on scope. A complete kitchen cabinet suite usually costs $45,000 to $80,000, and a butler's pantry or library built-ins adds roughly $15,000 to $35,000 each. Our Illinois-made cabinets ship in 4 to 6 weeks with no import tariff exposure.

Construction typically takes 5 to 8 weeks for a bathroom, 8 to 12 weeks for a kitchen, 8 to 14 weeks for a basement and 16 to 28 weeks for a whole-home renovation. Pre-war Kenilworth homes can need extra time for structural assessment and lead-safe work. Illinois-made cabinets ship in 4 to 6 weeks versus 12 to 16 for imports.

Kenilworth children attend The Joseph Sears School in Kenilworth School District 38, which serves junior kindergarten through eighth grade in the village. High school students attend New Trier Township High School. With only about 2,500 residents in the village, many families choose to renovate rather than move.

Our design-build studio at 2315 N Southport Ave in Lincoln Park is about 15 miles from Kenilworth, roughly 30 minutes via I-94 or Sheridan Road outside rush hour. It is open Monday to Friday 9am to 6pm and Saturday 10am to 4pm. We also offer free in-home consultations anywhere in Kenilworth.
