Remodeling homes in the Palos area and southwest suburbs
The Palos area is defined by its forest preserves and wooded lots. Palos Hills, Palos Park and Palos Heights have many ranches, raised ranches and split-levels from the 1960s and 1970s, alongside custom homes on larger lots. Orland Park grew mostly from the 1970s on, and Lemont mixes a historic downtown with newer custom homes.
In these homes the most common projects are opening up original kitchens, replacing dated cabinets and counters, converting little-used tubs to walk-in showers and fully rebuilding original hall baths. Larger homes on wooded lots often call for kitchens that make the most of the views.
Planning a kitchen remodel in Palos Heights: ventilation and appliances
A range hood that vents outside is worth planning for, especially with gas cooking. Hood size and fan capacity should match the range, and the duct route decides where the hood can go. Appliance specs — panel-ready refrigerators and dishwashers, built-in ovens, wine columns — should be chosen before cabinets are ordered, because the cabinet sizes are built around them.
Planning a bathroom remodel in Palos Heights: waterproofing is the part that matters most
The number one cause of bathroom failures is water getting behind tile. A tiled shower is not waterproof on its own — grout and tile let moisture through. What keeps it out of the walls is the system underneath: a proper shower pan sloped to the drain, and a waterproof membrane or board system on the walls. On curbless showers and steam showers, the waterproofing has to go further, often across the whole floor.
When we open up an older bathroom, we often find the reason the owner is remodeling: soft subfloor around the toilet, rot behind the tub, or mold behind a tile surround that was set on drywall. That gets fixed before anything new goes in.
