Why Palos Park Homes Are Ready for Remodeling

About a third of Palos Park's homes were built between 1940 and 1969, and most of the rest went up before 2000. The stock leans hard on brick ranches, expanded ranches and split-levels, some with Prairie-influenced lines, set on some of the largest residential lots in Cook County.

The Land Is Why People Buy Here

Yards in neighborhoods like Palos Park West, Ishnala, Hastings and Chinquapin Hills sit under mature oak canopy the village actively protects, with roughly 15,000 acres of the Palos Preserves next door. The floor plans are why people call us. Boxed-in kitchens. Eight-foot ceilings. Hall baths that never grew up with the house.

Moving Rarely Solves It

Median sale prices sat in the mid $500,000s in 2026, and listings with this kind of land are scarce. So Palos Park owners stay and transform. We open ranch floor plans with structural engineering resolved up front, vault ceilings into the roofline, pull kitchens toward the yard and the trees, and add second stories where protected oaks make growing out harder than growing up.

Kitchen Remodeling in Palos Park

The typical Palos Park kitchen is the smallest room with the best view. We remove the walls around it, engineer the beams as part of design, and open it to the yard with larger glass and better sightlines.

Because the architect and engineer work under one roof, taking down a load-bearing wall in a brick ranch is a design decision, not a change order. What gets drawn is what gets built.

Most of our kitchen projects run $30,000 to $90,000, starting at $30,000, with a fixed itemized budget before construction begins. See how we work on our kitchen remodeling page.

Bathroom Remodeling in Palos Park

Mid-century hall baths weren't built for how you live now. A cramped tub-and-stall combo, a builder double vanity, and no room for the primary suite the rest of the house deserves.

Our bathroom work here centers on primary-suite conversions, walk-in showers and full gut renovations. Design, engineering and build stay on one team, so waterproofing and ventilation get planned, not patched.

Most Luxe bathrooms land in the mid five figures. Start with our bathroom remodeling page to see what's included.

Additions & Whole-Home

Home Additions & Whole-Home Remodeling in Palos Park

When the footprint can't grow out, we grow up or out with intent. Home additions in Palos Park mean second stories on ranches, new wings and expanded primary suites, planned around the village's protected trees from the first site study. Most additions run $100,000 to $200,000.

When the whole house is the problem, whole-home remodeling is the full ranch-to-modern transformation in one permit cycle, with one team. It reworks the plan, the systems and the finishes so the house finally matches the land it sits on.

Tom of Luxe Development, made our home renovation dreams come true! Honestly, if we could, we would give him a 10 star review! Tom and his crew were extremely professional, courteous of our home, paid attention to all the little details and were great with communicating. There were always workers at our house to get the job done as quickly as possible as well. We highly recommend Tom and we are grateful our home was in such great care.

From start to finish our master bathroom remodel was a very positive process. Tom Naglak and his team were totally professional, efficient, and amazingly responsive. They're design conscious and fun to work with. When they say they're gonna do something by a certain date, you can count on being done. Workmanship is top notch. Can't recommend them enough.

FAQ

Palos Park Remodeling Questions

Are there remodeling contractors near me in Palos Park?

Yes. Luxe Development is a design-build remodeling contractor based in Lemont, about 15 minutes from Palos Park. We serve the village and unincorporated Palos Township, and our team walks every prospective project in person before we quote it.

How much does a kitchen remodel cost in Palos Park?

Most of our kitchen remodels run $30,000 to $90,000, starting at $30,000. Larger wooded-lot homes with structural wall removals and bigger glass trend toward the upper half of that range. See our kitchen remodel cost guide for a full breakdown, and know that your itemized budget is fixed before construction starts.

Can you open up the floor plan of a Palos Park ranch?

Yes, and ranches take open-plan conversion better than almost any other housing type. The same structural engineer designs the beam and load path, so walls between kitchen, dining and living space can come out safely. Vaulting the ceiling into the existing roofline is often possible in the same project.

Will Palos Park's tree preservation rules affect my addition?

Often, yes. The village enforces tree conservation on construction sites, so an addition gets planned around protected trees rather than through them. We factor the canopy into the site study during design and handle the village permitting, which protects both your timeline and your oaks.

Should we remodel our Palos Park home or tear down and rebuild?

If the structure is sound and the layout is the problem, a whole-home remodel usually delivers more home per dollar. On some larger parcels, especially unincorporated acreage, a rebuild makes better sense. We do both, including custom home building from $750,000, so you get one honest recommendation instead of the answer that fits the only service a contractor sells.
