Renovation Services in Downers Grove

Downers Grove has one of the most diverse housing inventories in DuPage County. Homes from the 1890s sit a few blocks from homes built in 2020. That range means renovation work here is never one-size-fits-all. It requires a team that can adapt to different construction eras, materials, and structural approaches. That is exactly what Turn Key Designs does.

We are a design-build firm based in Lombard, about 15 minutes from Downers Grove. We handle renovations from single-room updates to complete whole-house transformations, managing design, material selection, permitting, and construction under one team.

Common Downers Grove Renovation Projects

The diversity of Downers Grove’s housing stock creates a wide range of renovation needs:

• Kitchen renovations that modernize layouts, upgrade cabinetry and countertops, and create spaces that work for how families actually cook and gather
• Bathroom renovations from targeted fixture and tile updates to full gut remodels with new plumbing
• Basement renovations that transform unfinished lower levels into finished living spaces
• Historic home renovations on the older bungalows and Craftsman homes near Main Street that require careful attention to period-appropriate details while modernizing systems and function
• Whole-house renovations that update every room to a consistent standard

Permits and Building Codes

Renovation projects in Downers Grove that involve structural, plumbing, electrical, or mechanical work require permits from the Village of Downers Grove Community Development department. We handle all permitting, plan submissions, and inspection coordination. Our work complies with the International Residential Code as adopted by Illinois.

Our Approach

Every renovation follows our three-phase design-build process. We start with a thorough assessment of the existing conditions, design the renovation with 3D renderings and material selections at our Lombard showroom, and execute construction with a dedicated project manager. The price is locked after the design phase. For more on why this model works, see our guide on why design-build saves time and money.
