Home Remodeling in Glen Ellyn

Glen Ellyn homeowners face a common situation: they love the village, the walkable downtown, the mature trees, and the strong schools, but their house does not quite work anymore. The kitchen is too small. The bathrooms are outdated. The floor plan made sense when the home was built, but not for how the family lives now. A well-planned remodel makes more sense than moving, and Turn Key Designs has the design-build process to make it happen.

Common Glen Ellyn Remodeling Projects

Glen Ellyn’s housing stock ranges from Tudors and Cape Cods near Lake Ellyn to newer construction in the western subdivisions. The most common remodeling projects we handle include:

• Kitchen remodeling: layout reconfiguration, custom cabinetry, countertop upgrades, and open-concept conversions
• Bathroom remodeling: full gut renovations, walk-in showers, freestanding tubs, and accessible design updates
• Main-level renovations: opening closed floor plans, adding built-in storage, and updating finishes throughout
• Basement finishing: adding family rooms, guest bedrooms, home offices, and full bathrooms below grade
• Flooring replacement: hardwood refinishing and installation, luxury vinyl plank, and tile
• Second-story additions and room additions for growing families

How We Work

Turn Key Designs is a design-build firm. Our designers and builders work as one team from the first site visit through final walkthrough. This integrated approach eliminates the miscommunication and change orders that happen when homeowners hire a designer and a contractor separately. Our three-phase process (discovery, design, construction) ensures every detail is planned, priced, and approved before any demolition begins.

During the design phase, you visit our Lombard showroom to select every finish in person: cabinetry, countertops, flooring, tile, hardware, fixtures, and lighting. Seeing and touching real materials eliminates the guesswork that leads to regret after installation.

Permits in Glen Ellyn

Most Glen Ellyn remodeling projects that involve structural, electrical, plumbing, or HVAC changes require permits from the Village of Glen Ellyn Building Department. We handle all permit applications, schedule inspections, and ensure code compliance. Our electricians and plumbers are licensed in the State of Illinois, and all work complies with the Illinois Plumbing Code and locally adopted building codes.

Why Turn Key

Our design-build model puts one team in charge of your entire project. The designer who draws your layout is in the room when cabinets are being installed. That integration is what keeps Glen Ellyn remodels on budget and on schedule. For help evaluating contractors, see our guide on choosing a general contractor in Illinois.
