Mid-century modern and estate renovation specialists for the village that no two homes share.

Riverwoods is not a subdivision with repeating floor plans. It is a heavily wooded village of roughly 3,600 residents in southeastern Lake County, set along the Des Plaines River, where no two homes look alike. That changes everything about how a renovation should be planned. A 1962 Edward Humrich ranch with floor-to-ceiling glass needs a completely different approach than a French chateau on three acres near the Ryerson Conservation Area.

We have completed 45+ home remodeling projects across Riverwoods and the neighboring communities of Deerfield, Lincolnshire, and Bannockburn. Every one started with the home itself: how it was built, what the original architect intended, where the morning light falls, and what needs to change so the house fits how your family lives right now. Because Riverwoods has no historic district or landmark commission, we can modernize freely while still respecting each home's original design intent.

Why Riverwoods Families Trust Assembly Squad for Home Remodeling

There is a reason contractors from the outer suburbs struggle with Riverwoods homes. These are not tract houses. They are architecturally significant properties on wooded acreage with timber framing, glass curtain walls, radiant floor systems, and the drainage challenges that come from living among mature oaks and elms. Getting the renovation right takes someone who has actually done it here before.

We have completed 45+ renovations across Riverwoods, Deerfield, and Lincolnshire. Our design-build showroom sits at 2315 N Southport Ave in Lincoln Park, a thirty-minute drive from Riverwoods via I-94. Walk in, see full-size kitchen and bathroom displays, and talk through your project with our team before committing to anything.

Hear From Riverwoods Homeowners

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

We renovated the entire first floor of our mid-century modern on Thornmeadow. Assembly Squad understood what we wanted immediately: keep the timber ceilings, keep the glass walls, but give us a kitchen and living room that works for a family with three kids. They delivered exactly that, finished in 14 weeks, and the village inspections were flawless.

Our Colonial near Country Club Estates needed everything: a kitchen gut, two bathroom renovations, and a full basement finishing with waterproofing. Viktor's team handled all of it as one coordinated project. The basement waterproofing was critical with our wooded lot drainage, and they got it right. Finished on budget in 18 weeks.

Frequently Asked Questions

Home Remodeling in Riverwoods: Your Questions Answered

Practical answers for homeowners planning a renovation in Riverwoods, IL.

It depends on scope. Kitchen remodeling runs $90,000 to $225,000. Bathroom renovations cost $40,000 to $90,000. Basement finishing ranges from $65,000 to $175,000. A whole home renovation that combines kitchens, bathrooms, living areas, and mechanical upgrades typically runs $300,000 to $750,000 for Riverwoods estates. We provide a fixed-price proposal with every detail spelled out before construction begins.
That is our specialty. Riverwoods has over 40 Edward Humrich-designed homes plus dozens of other Prairie Modernist and mid-century residences. The key is understanding what the original architect intended: the sightlines, the relationship between interior and exterior, and the material palette. We upgrade every system and surface while keeping that intent intact, modernizing kitchens, bathrooms, and mechanicals without erasing the design DNA.
The Village of Riverwoods requires standard building permits for structural, electrical, and plumbing work, the same as any municipality. The advantage here is that Riverwoods has relaxed zoning with no landmark commission and no historic district restrictions. That means fewer bureaucratic hurdles and faster approvals compared to many other North Shore communities. We handle all permit applications, plan submissions, and inspector coordination.
Kitchen remodels take 8 to 12 weeks. Bathroom renovations run 4 to 6 weeks. Basement finishing takes 8 to 12 weeks. Attic conversions require 10 to 14 weeks. Full home renovations covering multiple rooms and systems take 16 to 24 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 Riverwoods and the entire surrounding area including Deerfield, Lincolnshire, Bannockburn, and Northbrook. The housing stock across these communities shares similar characteristics: mid-century homes on larger lots, custom estates, and ranch-style residences that benefit from the same expertise we bring to every Riverwoods project.
Fully. We hold Illinois General Contractor License #TGC098779 and maintain comprehensive liability insurance and workers' compensation coverage. We are A+ rated by the Better Business Bureau with zero complaints on record, and we are members of the National Kitchen & Bath Association. You can verify our license through the official Illinois contractor license lookup.
