Every project that we do is completely personal. We don’t use the same plan, we don’t use the same finishes, we’re designing from the ground up for your family and how you see your lives unfolding in materials and forms and spaces. At our project brainstorm we’ll create rough ideas with hand-drawn, free form sketches to outline space uses you want to prioritize.
We will pull samples and take you to our favorite suppliers until, together, we have created a cohesive and beautiful palette of materials for your home design. This will include things like countertops and cabinetry, tile, wood, light and plumbing fixtures, appliances and all the details that will bring the feeling you are looking for in your family home.
We meet with clients every two weeks to make sure that the process is flowing smoothly, that everything that you have envisioned on paper is occurring before your eyes, as we build it. We will guide you, protect you and inspire you all along the way. On move-in day we want you to walk in the front door and pinch yourself.
Our experienced designers will walk you through every step of your project at no cost.
Cobblestone Remodeling is a full-service home remodeling company with over 28 years of experience based in Chicago.
