Assembly Squad Remodeling is a design-build contractor serving Naperville, Illinois, for kitchens, bathrooms, basements and whole-home renovations. In 2026, Naperville kitchens run $50,000 to $130,000 and whole homes $130,000 to $400,000. Every project is fixed-price with zero change orders, and we file every City of Naperville permit.
Naperville is a city of family homes on both sides of the DuPage and Will County line, split between two of the best-known school districts in Illinois. Most of the families we meet here are not looking to move. They want the kitchen, the extra bathroom or the finished basement that makes the house they already own work for the next ten years. As a licensed design-build general contractor, we handle kitchen remodeling, bathroom renovation, basement finishing and whole home renovation in Naperville, every project on a fixed-price proposal with zero change orders in 13+ years.
Naperville's housing ranges from older homes in the historic district near downtown to 1970s and 1980s colonials, 1990s and 2000s executive homes and newer construction on the city's south and west sides. One 2026 change matters for every project: under Ordinance 26-010, plans submitted on or after April 1, 2026 are reviewed to the 2024 International Residential, Building and Existing Building Codes. Our designers and crews handle everything from the City permit through the final walkthrough under one fixed-price contract.

We know Naperville's housing: the open-plan potential of a well-built ranch, the stair layouts of a split-level, and the bones of a 1980s colonial that just needs a modern kitchen and a finished basement.

Reviews from Naperville homeowners who chose Assembly Squad for their renovation.
We had our 1967 ranch completely transformed — new kitchen with an open floor plan, two updated bathrooms, and 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 Naperville done right. We removed a load-bearing wall for an open floor plan, installed custom Illinois-made cabinets, and 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.
Answers specific to Naperville's homes, City permits and our design-build process.
In 2026, Naperville kitchen remodels run $50,000 to $130,000, with most landing between $75,000 and $90,000. Bathrooms run $20,000 to $60,000, basement finishing $55,000 to $120,000, and whole home renovations $130,000 to $400,000. Every Assembly Squad proposal is fixed-price with zero change orders, so the quoted price is the final invoice.
The City of Naperville requires building permits for remodeling and additions. Applications go through the City's Permitting, Plans and Licensing Portal, and the building permit office at 400 S Eagle St answers code questions at (630) 420-6100, option 2. The City reviews complex projects in about three to four weeks. We prepare and file every application.
Under Ordinance 26-010, passed by the City Council in February 2026, plans submitted on or after April 1, 2026 are reviewed to the 2024 International Residential, Building and Existing Building Codes, the 2023 National Electrical Code and Naperville's local amendments. Assembly Squad prepares every Naperville permit set to those 2024 codes.
Naperville is split between District 203, which feeds Naperville Central and Naperville North high schools, and Indian Prairie District 204, which feeds Neuqua Valley, Waubonsie Valley and Metea Valley. Because attendance depends on the address, many families renovate rather than move. Confirm your boundary with the district's address lookup before planning a major renovation.
Two reasons come up most. Families want to keep their school attendance area in District 203 or 204, and many locked in mortgage rates well below today's, so selling would raise their monthly payment. A kitchen, basement or whole-home renovation adds the space they need while avoiding agent fees, moving costs and a new loan.
Construction typically takes 6 to 10 weeks for a kitchen, 8 to 14 weeks for a basement and 14 to 22 weeks for a whole-home renovation. Add design time and the City's permit review, which runs about three to four weeks for complex projects. Illinois-made cabinets ship in 4 to 6 weeks, so they rarely hold up the schedule.
Often, yes. Exterior changes to homes in the Naperville Historic District near downtown can require review by the City's Historic Preservation Commission before a permit is issued. Interior remodels usually do not. We confirm your property's status with the City before design is finalized so any review is built into the schedule.
Imported building materials cost noticeably more in 2026 than in 2024. Assembly Squad limits that exposure with Illinois-made custom cabinetry, which carries no import tariffs and ships in 4 to 6 weeks, and with fixed-price proposals that lock material costs before construction begins, so price increases after signing are our risk, not yours.
