Morton Grove sits just north of Chicago along the North Shore Channel, bordered by Niles to the east and Glenview to the north. The housing stock here is a mix of postwar ranches and split-levels built in the 1950s and 60s, with pockets of newer infill construction. Many of those older homes have tight bathrooms, unfinished basements, and layouts that weren't built with aging in place in mind. That's exactly where we do our best work. The Ferris Woods and Harrer Park neighborhoods draw families who plan to stay long-term, and those homeowners invest in their properties.
The climate here is no joke. Morton Grove gets the same hard Chicago winters as the rest of the metro, with freeze-thaw cycles that crack tile grout, shift basement floors, and stress older plumbing. Summers bring humidity that punishes poorly ventilated bathrooms. We've remodeled enough homes in this zip code to know what materials hold up and what cuts corners will cost you in three years. When we spec a project here, we pick products that handle the season swings without falling apart.
