Highland Park's 60035 zip sits close to the Lake Michigan shoreline, and that proximity shapes what homes here deal with year after year. The freeze-thaw cycles hit hard in winter, moisture works its way into basements and foundations, and older homes along the bluffs see their share of water intrusion. Many of the houses here were built mid-century and have layouts that no longer match how families live today. Kitchens are small, bathrooms are dated, and finished basement space is in short supply. That's exactly the kind of work we do best.
The neighborhoods inside 60035 include areas like Ravinia, one of the most recognized communities in all of Highland Park, known for its tree-lined streets and the famous Ravinia Festival grounds. The area also takes in portions closer to downtown Highland Park along Central Avenue, plus quieter residential streets running west toward the rail corridor. Homes here range from classic brick colonials to newer construction, and the owners tend to invest seriously in updates. This is a market where the work has to be done right, because the homes and the neighbors notice.
