Palatine, Illinois
Custom Home Builders in Palatine
Four of the homes in our gallery are in Palatine. We know the village's counter, its inspectors and what the lots here can actually carry.
A town we have built in repeatedly
Palatine is one of the places our name comes up most, and it is because we have finished work here rather than because we ran an ad. Four projects in the gallery are Palatine homes, including the modern build that a lot of people find us through. That track record is worth something specific: we have been through the village's review process enough times to know what it asks for and to have the answers in the first submittal.
The lots here vary more than people expect. Some of the village is postwar subdivision on modest frontages, some of it is larger and more wooded toward the north and west, and the older sections near the centre have their own quirks. The right approach is different in each, and we would rather look at the specific parcel than talk in generalities.

Home Remodeling in Palatine

Read the pageRemodeling & Additions
Older suburban houses hide things. We find them before demolition rather than after, so an addition lands square against the existing roofline and the new work does not announce itself as new.
Read the pageKitchen Remodeling
The kitchen is the room the house runs on. We rebuild it around traffic, reach and clearance first, then make it look the way you want it to look.

Modern or traditional, built the same way underneath
We have done both here. The flat-roofed modern that gets the attention and the traditional homes that do not. What matters structurally is identical: a foundation that is right, a water management plan that works, framing that is square and mechanicals that are sized for the house. Style is the visible part. The part that decides whether you like the house in ten years is not visible at all.
- Village permitting handled by someone who has done it here before
- Flat and low-slope roof details executed properly where the design calls for them
- Drainage and grading engineered, not assumed from the neighbouring lot

Questions
Asked in Palatine
Something not answered here? Call (847) 380-8212 and ask us directly.
Can we see one of your Palatine homes?
Possibly. Four are in the gallery and some owners are happy to show people round. We will ask on your behalf. We never pressure a past client into it, so sometimes the answer is photographs only.
How long does Palatine take to issue a permit?
For a full custom home, plan on several weeks for review, longer if the submittal comes back with comments. The way to keep it short is to submit something complete. That sounds obvious and it is where most delays come from.
Do you build modern homes or only traditional?
Both. The modern Palatine house in our gallery is ours. What we will not do is take on a design language and execute it badly, so if a detail is going to fail in an Illinois winter we will say so and propose the version that works.
