Punch walk
When it's time to remodel the heart of the house, the team walks you through the process, listening to your vision and offering expert advice. These are the four calls every Z kitchen turns on.
Scopes of work
Everything Z Construction takes on is residential. Pick a scope to see the work; each one has its own page with how the job actually runs.
Ground-up homes and additions that belong to the house they join. Z Construction handles every part of it, from engineering drawings and securing permits to the final finishing touches, as one turnkey job.
How a new build or addition runs
Custom cabinetry, countertop installation, appliance upgrades and a layout that fixes storage and workflow. The team listens to your vision first, then walks you through every decision.
Kitchen remodeling
Primary suites, family baths and small powder rooms: upgraded fixtures, tile and vanities in a layout that fits the room. A remodeled bath changes how it works and adds value to the whole house.
Bathroom remodeling
Basements built for living, entertaining, work or play, plus mudrooms, decks and outdoor spaces: the rest of the house, finished with the same care as the kitchen.
Basements, decks and other spacesSince 2001
Projects across Chicago and the North Shore, from Lincolnshire to Evanston.
The team brings a combined 100+ years of construction experience to every job, and the firm's whole pitch is personalised service, start to finish.
The firm behind the ZTurnkey
Their own word for it is turnkey: one firm carries the job from the first drawing to the last fixture. Scroll the set: six sheets, in the order a job runs.
Free, and it starts with your vision for the house. Call (847) 942-9070 and Brad or Shari will set a time to walk through what you want it to become.
New homes and additions start with engineering drawings, so the structure, the rooflines and the room sizes are settled before anyone orders lumber.
Z Construction secures the permits as part of the job. You are not the one chasing approvals.
Clients write about crews who showed up when they were scheduled to show up, and a job site cleaned up daily.
Trim, hardware, fixtures and the punch list. Aimee S. notes the project landed on time and on budget, and the team came back months later to fix small problems.
Karen S. says that 12 years later they still call with questions, and every service person who visits remarks on how well the house was built.
Below the main floor
Basements for living, entertainment, a home office or recreation; mudrooms that take the weather; a cellar, a stair, a playroom. Finished as carefully as the kitchen.
