Most of the Downers Grove families we work with aren't moving — they're staying. They like the schools, the streets, the neighbors they've had for a decade. What they want is a home that matches the next phase of their lives: a kitchen that finally functions for the way they cook, a primary suite that feels like a real retreat, a basement that earns its square footage. C & H Construction and Remodeling designs and builds those projects across Downers Grove, taking the existing home's character seriously and adding to it rather than papering over it.
Our work in Downers Grove covers kitchen remodels, bathroom remodels, home additions, basement finishing, whole-home renovations, custom cabinetry and built-ins, garage conversions, and ADU construction. We take on single-room projects and full-scale transformations, all managed under one contract with one designer, one project manager, and the same crew of trades from start to finish.


Remodeling involves more local touchpoints than most homeowners realize — building inspectors, permit clerks, material suppliers, dumpster routes, sometimes HOA approval. A contractor who works in Downers Grove consistently knows the rhythm of all of them. That means fewer permit delays, faster supplier turnaround when something needs to be reordered, and a project manager you can actually reach when you have a question on a Tuesday afternoon.
Every project begins with a free in-home consultation. We listen first, walk the space, and talk through what's realistic for your goals and budget. Next comes the design phase — drawings, selections, and a fixed-price written proposal tied to a defined scope. Permits get pulled, materials ordered, and a construction schedule built. From there, your project manager keeps you informed weekly until final walkthrough.

Schedule a free consultation. Cristina Carranza and the team will come out, walk your home, and give you an honest read on what's possible.
