Wilmette carries real architectural weight — 38 local landmarks, three National Register historic districts, and Frank Lloyd Wright's Baker House. East Wilmette, near the lake, still has clay-fired brick pavers from the 1800s on some streets. West Wilmette is newer construction with a more standard suburban footprint.
Wilmette's exterior remodeling brief genuinely splits by geography. East Wilmette and Indian Hill Estates call for the same period-literate approach as Winnetka or Lake Forest. West Wilmette is a more direct conversation about durable, well-executed materials. We start by identifying which Wilmette we're actually working in.
What we do in Wilmette: siding, roofing, windows and doors, and portico & column work — planned first, then installed by our own crew.
Every Wilmette project starts with the same written plan — here's the work itself, in detail.
No pressure, no handoffs. We look at the house, talk through the options, and put a plan on paper before any decisions get made.
