Wheaton homeowners take pride in their homes, and with good reason. The city’s mature neighborhoods, strong schools, and engaged community make it one of DuPage County’s most desirable places to live. When a home’s finishes, layout, or systems no longer match the standard of the neighborhood, a well-planned renovation brings it back to where it should be.

Turn Key Designs is a design-build firm based in nearby Lombard. We handle renovations of all sizes for Wheaton homeowners: single-room updates, multi-room transformations, and complete whole-house renovations. One team manages design, material selection, permitting, and construction from start to finish.

Common Wheaton Renovation Projects

Wheaton’s housing stock spans more than a century. Older Victorians near downtown, mid-century ranches along Roosevelt Road, and newer construction throughout the city each present different renovation opportunities:

  • Kitchen renovations that open up closed layouts, replace dated cabinetry and countertops, and create functional cooking and entertaining spaces
  • Bathroom renovations from cosmetic refreshes to full gut remodels with updated plumbing, tile, and fixtures
  • Basement finishing and renovation that turns unfinished or outdated lower levels into family rooms, home theaters, or guest suites
  • Main living area renovations including wall removals, new flooring, and updated lighting
  • Whole-house renovations that bring every room up to a consistent, modern standard

Permits and Building Codes

Most Wheaton renovation projects that involve structural, plumbing, electrical, or HVAC changes require permits from the City of Wheaton Building Inspections department. Properties in or near downtown may fall within a historic overlay district with additional design review requirements. We handle all permitting, plan submissions, and inspection coordination on your behalf.

Our Process

Every Wheaton renovation follows our three-phase design-build process. We start with a site assessment and budget discussion, move through design and material selection at our Lombard showroom, and then execute construction with a dedicated project manager. The price you are quoted after the design phase is the price you pay at completion. For a deeper look at why this model works, read our guide on why design-build saves time and money.

Living Through a Renovation

Most Wheaton clients stay in their homes during the project. We plan phased construction to maintain access to essential spaces, keep the work area clean daily, and communicate progress so there are no surprises. For whole-house projects, our guide on planning a whole-home renovation covers phasing strategies in detail.
