Deerfield sits in the northern suburbs of Chicago, right along the Lake County line. The homes here range from mid-century ranches near Deerfield Road to newer builds in developments like Woodland Commons and the Coromandel neighborhood to the south. Many properties have mature trees, finished basements, and older bathrooms that haven't been touched in 20 years. That's exactly the kind of house we work on every week.
The climate in this part of Illinois hits homes hard. Deerfield winters bring sustained freezing temps, heavy snow loads, and the freeze-thaw cycles that crack tile grout, shift basement floors, and stress older window and door frames. Summers get humid fast. Bathrooms and basements take the worst of it. Homeowners here aren't just remodeling for looks. They're fixing what the weather has been doing to their houses for decades.
