Forest Glen sits in the 60630 ZIP corridor on Chicago's northwest side, roughly along the North Branch of the Chicago River. The homes here lean heavily toward brick bungalows and two-flats built between the 1920s and 1950s, which means they're full of character but also full of aging systems. Bathrooms with original tile, basements with low ceilings, and layouts that were never built for modern family life are common. That's the kind of work we do every week.
Chicago winters hit Forest Glen the same way they hit the rest of the metro. Freeze-thaw cycles crack mortar, push water into basements, and warp doorframes over time. Summers bring heat and humidity that age finishes fast. Homeowners here don't just remodel for looks. They remodel because the house needs it. We understand that, and we price and plan accordingly.
