Luxury Home Remodeling & Custom Home Additions in Chicago’s Western Suburbs

Home remodeling is completely dependent on your time frame and what works best for you. At Elik we work 12 months a year. While most work can be done anytime, exterior renovations are restricted by weather constraints. Interior renovations conversely have very little limitation.

At Elik, we can do anything from kitchen and bathroom remodels to reconfiguration of floorplans. When it comes to exterior projects we are experts in roofing, siding, gutters, soffit and fascia. We'd love to help give your home a facelift.

Elik is fully licensed and bonded and only employs our own in-house contractors for your project.

The timeline for a home addition depends on the size, complexity, and scope of the project. Most home additions take several months from initial planning through completion, including design, permitting, and construction. During your consultation, we’ll provide a realistic project timeline and keep you informed at every stage so there are no surprises.

Yes. Elik Homes manages the entire permitting and inspection process on your behalf. We coordinate with local municipalities, schedule required inspections, and ensure your project meets all building codes and regulations — allowing you to focus on the excitement of your remodel, not the paperwork.

Absolutely. Many homes in Chicago’s western suburbs were built decades ago and come with unique architectural details and structural considerations. We have extensive experience working in older and historically significant homes, carefully blending modern functionality with original character while addressing the hidden challenges these properties often present.

Remodeling typically focuses on updating or improving specific areas of a home, such as a kitchen or bathroom, while a full renovation often involves reconfiguring layouts, updating multiple systems, and making structural changes throughout the home. We help you determine the right approach based on your goals, budget, and how you want to live in the space.

The earlier, the better — especially when working with a full-service design-build firm like Elik Homes. With on-staff architects and interior designers, we’re able to plan your project comprehensively from the very beginning, aligning design, budget, and construction before work ever starts.

Involving our team early allows for smarter layouts, accurate pricing, fewer surprises, and a more efficient timeline. From initial concepts through final construction, our integrated approach ensures a cohesive vision and a smoother experience from start to finish.
