Lake Forest, IL is one of the most scenic, historical, and architecturally significant suburbs of Chicago. These neighborhoods include estates and homes designed by distinguished architects such as Howard Van Doren Shaw, David Adler, Frank Lloyd Wright, Arthur Heun, Jerome Cerny, Henry Ives Cobb, and modernist George Fred Keck, among others. Landscape architects Frederick Law Olmsted and Jens Jensen also designed projects in Lake Forest. Market Square, designed by Howard Van Doren Shaw, was completed in 1916 as a commercial center for Lake Forest. One of Lake Forest’s most notable features is its virgin prairies and other nature preserves. Lake Forest has been named a Tree City USA by the National Arbor Day Foundation in recognition of its commitment to community forest.

Renovations in Lake Forest IL
A proper renovation can restore any areas that have been worn down and give your property the upgrade it deserves. Every Lake Forest property is unique, and we provide our services depending on the extent of your home’s deterioration. Over time, dirt, seasonal wear, and other deteriorated masonry units can negatively affect the appearance of any property by lowering its value. Over time deteriorated mortar may need patching or replacing to properly support the building’s brick and stone walls, limestone stairs and or retaining walls. The planning process will involve feedback from financial investors of the project, and from the designer. Part of planning will also entail the collection of data for the completion of the project and then the project plan will be revised and given consent before continuing with renovations.
