Winnetka sits on the North Shore of Lake Michigan, and the homes here reflect it. The neighborhood along Sheridan Road features large older homes with original tile work and layouts that haven't been touched in decades. The Indian Hill and Hubbard Woods areas have similarly established housing stock, much of it built in the mid-20th century. That age means bathrooms that were once considered luxurious now have cracked grout, outdated fixtures, and layouts that don't fit how families live today. We see this kind of work constantly, and we know how to update a space without stripping out the character that makes these homes worth owning.
Winnetka's winters are no joke. The town sits right on the lake, and the freeze-thaw cycles hit hard. That means tile grout fails faster, caulk around tubs and showers breaks down, and water gets into places it shouldn't. Winnetka's median household income is $250,001 (Data source: U.S. Census Bureau / Data Commons), which tells you something about how homeowners here approach renovation work. They're not looking for the cheapest option. They want it done right, once, with materials that hold up. That's exactly how we operate.
