Historic Home Remodeling for Wilmette's Most Cherished Architecture

Wilmette is one of America's most expensive and architecturally rich communities — with 29% of homes built before 1940 and median home values approaching $900,000. As a design-build contractor serving the North Shore, we specialize in renovating Wilmette's Tudor revivals, Prairie-style homes, arts & crafts bungalows, and post-war colonials — preserving their character while delivering modern luxury. Every project includes kitchen remodeling, basement finishing, attic conversion, and custom cabinetry — all on a fixed-price proposal with zero change orders.

Whether you're in East Wilmette near the lake, the Kenilworth border, or along Sheridan Road, our design-build contractor team handles Village permits, design, and construction — all under one roof. We also serve homeowners looking at adding a garage in Wilmette. Our Lincoln Park showroom is just 25 minutes from the village.

Client Reviews

What North Shore Homeowners Say

Real reviews from Wilmette homeowners and North Shore neighbors who trusted Assembly Squad with their renovation.

"Our 1928 Tudor had a kitchen that hadn't been touched since the 1970s. Assembly Squad understood the home's character completely — they preserved the original butler's pantry arch and built-ins while giving us a fully modern kitchen. Fixed price, delivered on time. We couldn't be happier."
