Should I renovate my Clarendon Hills home or tear it down and rebuild?
It depends on the structure, the lot, and how far your plan is from what exists. As a rule, renovation wins when the foundation is sound and your plan fits the footprint. Rebuilding wins when ceiling heights, foundations, or layout can't reach what your family needs. We model both paths with real numbers during design, and because we build both ways, the recommendation isn't biased.
Can you add a second story to a 1950s Cape Cod in Blackhawk Heights?
Usually, yes. Cape Cods of that era often take a second story well, and the structural engineer verifies the foundation and framing before we draw anything. You'll see the structural findings and the itemized cost before you decide.
Do you build custom homes in Clarendon Hills?
Yes. Luxe designs and builds ground-up custom homes from $750,000 to $1.5 million and up. Because the architect, engineer, and builder are one team, the home is delivered as drawn, with a fixed, itemized budget set before construction.
Do you handle Village of Clarendon Hills permits?
Yes. We prepare drawings and manage permitting with the village on every project, renovation or new build. Because architecture is handled under the same contract, permit sets don't wait on an outside firm.
