What building in Elmhurst actually involves
The original stock is heavily 1920s through 1950s - bungalows, Georgians, Cape Cods - on lots that support considerably more house than currently sits on them. That gap between what is there and what is allowed is exactly what has driven the pace of new construction here, alongside an equally strong market for buyers who would rather expand the house they have.
How we approach Elmhurst projects
We do both sides of that market: new custom homes on cleared lots, and substantial additions for owners who want the space without the move. Elmhurst has had real stormwater issues in parts of the village, so drainage, overhead sewer conversion, and basement waterproofing come up in scoping conversations here more than almost anywhere else.
What we are most often hired for here
- New custom home construction
- Two-story and rear additions
- Stormwater, drainage, and basement waterproofing
