Remodeling & Custom Home FAQs for Chicago's Western Suburbs

Most Luxe kitchen remodels run between $30,000 and $90,000, with full projects starting at $30,000. Where your kitchen lands in that range depends on cabinetry, layout changes, appliances and the finishes you select.

A cosmetic refresh with new counters and lighting sits at the lower end. A full gut with a new layout, custom cabinetry and premium stone reaches the upper end. Before construction begins, you approve a fixed, itemized budget. The number you approve is the number you build. No vague estimates that grow mid-project.

For a line-by-line look at what drives the price, read our kitchen remodel cost guide or explore our kitchen remodeling services.

Most full bathroom remodels with Luxe land in the mid five figures. The final number depends on the size of the space, how much plumbing moves, tile and stone selections, and the shower or tub construction involved.

A hall bath with in-place plumbing costs less than a primary suite with a curbless walk-in shower and heated floors. Every selection is priced during design, so you see the complete picture before a single wall opens up.

Our bathroom remodel cost guide breaks down the full range by scope, and our bathroom remodeling page shows how we build them.

Home additions with Luxe typically run $100,000 to $200,000. Ground-up custom homes typically run $750,000 to $1.5 million and up. Both depend on size, structural complexity and the level of finish you choose.

An addition is real construction: foundation, framing, roofline integration and finishes that match the original home so the new space doesn't read as an add-on. A custom home is the full Luxe Method from empty lot to final walkthrough. Either way, you get the same fixed, itemized budget before construction starts.

You approve a fixed, itemized budget before construction begins, and that's the number you build to. Materials, finishes and selections are priced during the design phase, not discovered mid-project.

This is the core of how Luxe works. Because the architect, engineer and builder are one accountable team, the people who design your project are the same people pricing and building it. Nothing gets re-quoted by another firm bidding it differently. Payment follows the same logic: a design retainer up front, then a draw schedule tied to construction progress, so payments track the work you can see.

These are exactly the kinds of homes our design-build approach was built for: established houses with real architectural character that deserve a remodel drawn, engineered and built by one team.

Yes. Luxe Development is a licensed general contractor and fully insured.

The license means your project is designed and built to code by a contractor accountable to the state, not a handshake operation. The insurance means that if something unexpected happens on your property, you're protected rather than exposed. On a project measured in tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars, these aren't formalities. They're the baseline any homeowner should require before letting a contractor near their home, and we'd encourage you to ask every firm you interview for both.

Luxe Development is a design-build firm based in Lemont, IL, carrying projects from architecture through construction with one accountable team. We hold a 5.0 rating on Google.

From the start, the model has been the same: architect, engineer and builder under one roof, with one accountable team on every project. That's a deliberate choice. Luxe stays selective about how many projects it takes on so that the craftsmanship and communication that earned that rating never get diluted by volume. You can see the results across our portfolio and read more about the firm on our about page.

Yes. Luxe works in both English and Polish, on site and through every conversation about your project.

For many families in the Lemont and Lockport corridor, that matters. Renovation decisions involve real money and real detail, and being able to discuss structural options, selections and budgets in the language you think in removes a layer of friction most contractors never consider. Whether your household prefers English, Polish or moves between both mid-sentence, nothing gets lost between what you asked for and what gets built.
