Why Wheaton homeowners choose ADG
Wheaton is a city (not a village) with a uniquely split housing stock: pre-1960 Victorians, Craftsmans, and American Foursquares in downtown Wheaton, Briar Patch, and Wesleyan; plus 1990s-2010s subdivisions in Briar Knoll, Arrowhead, Glenview, and the newer growth corridors. ADG has expanded into Wheaton because remodeling both ends of this spectrum well requires fluency in pre-war housing AND modern subdivision construction, and we have 30 years across both.
For older Wheaton homes, expect plaster-and-lath walls, knob-and-tube electrical in attics and behind walls, original radiator systems (often steam or hot-water), cast-iron drain stacks, undersized 60-100 amp service that needs 200-amp upgrade, and small original kitchens that need a layout reconfig to function with modern appliances. Budget a 15-20% contingency for pre-1940 Wheaton homes. The demo always reveals something.
We pull permits at the City of Wheaton Building Division ourselves. Plan review runs 2-3 weeks. For additions (rear kitchen extensions, primary suite additions, second-story additions on ranches) we also handle zoning review and architectural drawings. Wheaton additions are common because lot sizes in older neighborhoods often have setback room and the value math works in CUSD 200's market.
You will work directly with President Tom Fisher and the ADG team from your first phone call to your final walk-through. We have been remodeling Chicagoland's older housing stock for 30+ years.
