Naperville is full of homes built in the 1990s, and while many of them hold sentimental value for their owners, their layouts and systems often no longer meet modern expectations. Closed-off kitchens, small bathrooms, unfinished basements, and outdated mechanical systems make these homes feel dated. Families in Naperville and the greater Chicago area want open, light-filled spaces where they can cook, relax, and entertain together.

A Word from Our CEO, Alla Corbu

“Most homes from the 90s aren’t suited to today’s lifestyles. Families want open-concept kitchens, spa-like bathrooms, and finished basements that double as offices, gyms, or entertainment spaces. When we remodel, we don’t just replace finishes—we reimagine the whole home. That includes upgrading electrical systems, plumbing, and HVAC to ensure the house is safe, efficient, and comfortable for decades.”

❓ Why do many Naperville homeowners want to remodel 1990s homes?

In our opinion, most homes from the ’90s no longer fit today’s lifestyle. Our clients often say they want open-concept kitchens, spa-like bathrooms, and finished basements that can double as offices, gyms, or entertainment spaces.

❓ What are the most common updates homeowners ask for?

From our experience, the top requests include:

- Open layouts — removing walls between kitchens and living rooms.

- Modern bathrooms— walk-in showers instead of tubs.

- Basement transformations — home theaters, guest suites, or remote workspaces.

❓ What makes the remodel stress-free for clients?

Our clients say the most significant relief is knowing we manage everything — design, permits, materials, and construction. The result is peace of mind and a home that feels brand new.

In Naperville, the kitchen is more than a place to cook — it is the centerpiece of family life. Whether it’s casual family dinners, holiday gatherings, or even working from home, the kitchen has become the heart of the home. For this reason, luxury kitchen remodeling has become one of the most in-demand services in the area.

A Word from Our CEO, Alla Corbu

“We see a strong demand for kitchens withlarge quartz islands, integrated appliances, and bright, layered lighting. Homeowners love traditional cabinetry styles, but they want them in a modern interpretation. Mixing natural wood with sleek finishes is very popular right now. The goal is to create a space that is elegant, functional, and timeless.”

❓ Why are kitchens such an important remodeling focus?

The kitchen is the heart of the home. Our clients often say it’s where they cook, entertain, and gather with family.

❓ What defines a luxury kitchen remodel?

The most requested features are:

• Custom cabinetry designed for family needs.
• Quartzite countertops that combine durability and elegance.
• High-quality hardware built to last.
• High-end plumbing fixtures that are reliable and long-lasting.

❓ How do you balance style with everyday use?

That’s what we see most in Naperville — kitchens must be practical and beautiful. Islands often serve as prep zones or gathering spots. Smart lighting design adds both ambiance and function.

❓ How do you reassure clients making a large investment?

Our clients investing $30,000 or more want reassurance. We guide them through showroom selections and provide 3D renderings so they know what to expect.

Bathrooms built in the 1980s and 1990s are often small, outdated, and lacking modern conveniences. Fiberglass tubs, laminate vanities, and old fixtures make them feel old-fashioned. But with thoughtful remodeling, these spaces can be transformed into spa-like retreats that add daily comfort and long-term home value.

A Word from Our CEO, Alla Corbu

“We often see bathrooms that haven’t been touched in decades. Our goal is to make them functional, durable, and stylish. We use porcelain or ceramic tiles, quartz countertops, waterproof backer boards, and high-quality plumbing fixtures. These materials not only look beautiful but also ensure longevity.”

❓ Why remodel bathrooms from the 1980s and 1990s?

Many older bathrooms are outdated. Our clients often say they want spa-like retreats that feel stylish and practical.

❓ What features define a modern bathroom remodel?

The most popular upgrades are:

- Walk-in showers with frameless glass.

- Custom vanities with storage.

- Heated floors for comfort.

- Recessed shelving in showers.

- Layouts with wet and dry zones.

❓ How does the design process work?

Our clients say they value collaboration. They choose materials in the showroom, then see a 3D rendering before construction begins.

❓ What lasting benefits do remodeled bathrooms bring?

The homeowners enjoy daily comfort and see significant added value.

Basements in Naperville homes are often underused, but finishing a basement is one of the most cost-effective ways to expand a home’s living space. Families are increasingly turning their basements into multifunctional areas that serve as offices, gyms, or entertainment hubs.

A Word from Our CEO, Alla Corbu

“We transform unfinished basements into fully functional spaces. Home theaters, gyms, playrooms, offices, and guest suites are among the most requested. The key is addressing essentials first—waterproofing, ventilation, and lighting. Once those are handled, the basement feels like a natural extension of the home.”

❓ Why are basements such a popular remodeling project?

Finishing a basement is one of the most cost-effective ways to expand living space. Our clients use them as offices, gyms, or entertainment hubs.

❓ What are the most requested basement features?

The most popular features are home theaters, gyms, playrooms, offices, and guest suites. Clients often stress the importance of waterproofing, ventilation, and lighting first.

❓ Can you give a real-life example?

One family turned their unfinished basement into a family retreat with a play area, office, powder room, kitchenette, and lounge. They now spend more time downstairs than upstairs.

❓What trends are growing in Naperville?

We see demand for home offices and the need for privacy, quiet, and flexibility.
