"JRG Remodeling did more than install interior doors. I had additional work done - repairing door trim: internal and external; repairs in kitchen area; wall, floor and trim repairs; exterior grout work. The work was completed beautifully and professionally. The remodelers were punctual, focused and pleasant. I will refer JRG Remodelers to anyone who needs customized home services where fair pricing meets with professionalism. Thank you to the TEAM!"

"The results are really nice, but just took too long to complete, otherwise our project would have been rated "A". The process started in late September 2019 when we were asking for estimates. We really liked working with Teresa and selected Excel for the project in November 2019. We got scheduled for January 6th, 2020 to start a project which was to take 2 to 3 weeks. Roman did the remodel and he was fantastic. Great workmanship and easy to schedule with. While 95% of the project was completed in three weeks, delays with the walk-in shower glass and the linen closet doors pushed that remaining 5% completion out weeks. Covid-19 then added to the delays. The linen closet doors were finally delivered on May 5th, 2020. We are happy with the end result, even after the delays."

"We had a great experience! Javier was onsite and hands-on with the project. He was also extremely responsive. He ensured everything was well coordinated and had his crew working around the clock to minimize the amount of time we had to be closed. I have had work done in my home that took months and this was an extensive remodel done in a couple days - amazing!! The workmanship was also top quality and Javier made sure we were satisfied with everything that was done. I would highly recommend!"

"Steve and the team were outstanding. Our house is 125 years old. When completed, we're continuously told it looks like a new house. Save your money on overpriced kitchen and bath remodels. Buyers simply don't care. Focus your hard earned money curb appeal. You'll get more ROI."

"After a year of working with us, Marc designed the perfect home for our family. He spent significant time on site to get to know the space and spoke to us frequently to ensure his design met our hopes and dreams. His final design is visually stunning and maximizes space use in a way that reflects both the history of the home and modern preferences. His expertise in Chicago building code and city offices was instrumental in our project being approved quickly. He reviewed bids with us to ensure we selected a GC who could do the job and had competitive pricing. He regularly met and emailed with the GC and suppliers to address issues as they arose during the job so that all were resolved to our satisfaction. Throughout it all, he was just a nice guy to work with during a process that can be very stressful."

Remodel Design FAQs, answered by experts

The longest part of building a custom home is the design phase. It takes multiple professionals and a ton of work to bring your vision for your dream home to life while sticking to a homebuilding budget and also ensuring everything is built to code. Expect the design phase for a custom home build to take six months to a year.

Check reviews, compare quotes, and verify licensing. Ensure the builder has experience with modular construction.

Typically, general remodeling involves architects, contractors, interior designers, electricians, plumbers, and sometimes structural engineers. Each plays a role in bringing the project from concept to completion.

Depending on what the blueprints are for, a qualified draftsperson, contractor, or architect can draw them up. In some cases, including specialty permitting for a build, you may be required to use a licensed architect. 

In many cases, a blueprint drawn up by a certified professional is required before a city or municipality approves a permit. 

You don’t have to commit to a complete home renovation to age in place comfortably—those can get pricey. Instead, focus on a few impactful changes. Consider adding a stair lift or installing ramps to eliminate barriers. Upgrading to non-slip flooring can prevent falls while adding brighter lighting can improve visibility throughout your home. These thoughtful updates can make your home much easier to navigate and enhance your comfort and safety without the stress and cost of a complete overhaul.
