Buffalo Grove sits in both Lake and Cook counties, which means permit requirements can vary depending on which side of town your home is on. We know that drill. Whether you're in Strathmore, Easton Park, or one of the older subdivisions off Arlington Heights Road, we've worked nearby and we know the housing stock. A lot of Buffalo Grove homes were built in the 1970s and 1980s, which means original bathrooms, unfinished basements, and layouts that made sense 40 years ago but don't work for families today.
The weather here does a number on homes. Winters push well below freezing, and the freeze-thaw cycle cracks grout, warps basement walls, and puts stress on older tile work. Summers are humid, which makes moisture management in basements and bathrooms a real concern. We build with that climate in mind. That's not a talking point, it's just what you have to do when you've been working in this area long enough.
