Renovation Services in Glen Ellyn

Glen Ellyn homeowners often face a specific dilemma: they love their village, the lake, the downtown, the community, but their home has not kept up. The kitchen is from 1985, the bathrooms feel cramped, and the layout fights against the way the family actually lives. A thoughtful renovation resolves all of that without giving up the address.

Turn Key Designs is a design-build firm based in Lombard, about 10 minutes from Glen Ellyn. We handle renovation projects of all sizes, from single-room updates to complete whole-house transformations, under one team and one contract.

Glen Ellyn Renovation Projects

Glen Ellyn’s housing stock includes pre-war bungalows, mid-century ranches, and newer custom builds. Each presents different renovation challenges and opportunities:

• Kitchen renovations that open up closed galley layouts, install custom cabinetry and premium countertops, and create spaces for cooking and entertaining
• Bathroom renovations from cosmetic refreshes to full gut remodels with modern tile, fixtures, and ventilation
• Basement renovations that convert unfinished lower levels into family rooms, guest suites, or home offices
• Main floor renovations including wall removals to create open-concept living, new flooring, lighting upgrades, and fireplace surrounds
• Whole-house renovations that bring an older Glen Ellyn home to a consistent, modern standard throughout

Permits and Historic Considerations

Renovation projects in Glen Ellyn that involve structural, plumbing, electrical, or HVAC changes require permits from the Village of Glen Ellyn Building Division. Properties near the historic downtown core may require review by the Historic Preservation Commission, particularly for exterior changes. We navigate these requirements on your behalf.

Our Design-Build Process

Every renovation follows our three-phase process: discovery and assessment, design and material selection at our Lombard showroom, and construction managed by a dedicated project manager. The design-build model eliminates the disconnect between what is designed and what gets built. Read more about why design-build saves time and money.

Living Through a Renovation

Most Glen Ellyn clients remain in their homes during renovation. We plan phased construction schedules, maintain access to essential spaces, and keep the work area clean daily. For larger projects, see our guide on planning a whole-home renovation.
