General Contractor in Skokie, IL
North Shore, near north suburbs, and the O'Hare corridor
The housing between Skokie and the lake was mostly built before 1960, and it shows in the best ways and the worst ways. Solid brick, real plaster, small kitchens, one bathroom where a family now needs three. Most of our work up here is making those houses live like modern homes without stripping out their character. Kitchens opened to dining rooms, attics and basements finished properly, additions that match the original brick instead of fighting it.
Closer to O'Hare the work changes. Rosemont and the Higgins corridor run on hospitality and events, Des Plaines and Niles have storefronts and small industrial spaces, and all of it needs a contractor who can work nights and phased schedules so the business never fully closes. We have done that dance plenty of times.
Old houses, tight lots, real inspections
Every village on the north side runs its own permit desk and its own inspections, and Evanston in particular does not play. We handle the paperwork, meet the inspectors, and build to what they expect the first time, because a failed inspection costs you weeks.
Getting started is simple. Call or write to us with what you have in mind, and a KGN contractor will look at the space with you and confirm your quote quickly.
