They kept the design true to our 1930's home while adding fun details that we wanted. We love our new space and couldn't be happier with all the design aspects. I'm only sad we're not in Chicagoland to have used their construction services as well. Highly recommend! **★★★★★ — HU-788938319, Sept. 2024** > Highly recommend Emily, Chris and the entire team. Delivered our entire rebuild on time and we could not be more pleased with every facet of what we thought would be much tougher process. Their systems and flawless on-line execution only made every expert crafstman that came into our house, that much more impressive. > > Would recommend to anyone looking to remodel or improve your living space. > > Danny **★★★★★ — Trilogy Design Interiors, April 2018** > Emily, Joe and Tom were extremely professional and helped us achieve all of the design goals we had in mind- and then some we had never though of before. We are extremely pleased with the end result and would highly recommend them to anyone looking to improve the function and space of their home. **★★★★★ — User, Feb. 2016** > We loved working with Tom and Joe... on three different occasions! We first had a family room and 3-season porch added plus exterior finishing (roof and siding); second project was a remodel of our exterior patio; third was new flooring and structural changes to kitchen. Each time, fantastic vision and ideas, excellent communication, pleasant sub-contractors, and, most importantly, on time performance! We never hesitate to recommend Forest Glen to anyone for a remodeling project. **★★★★ — maryfofo, July 2013** > Professional company that makes home remodeling relatively painless. They do the plans, oversee the work, hire quality subcontractors, and communicate with the homeowner on a daily basis. They did a kitchen remodel for us and we were very happy with the results. They listened to what we wanted and came up with a design that is perfect for our family. ## Selected projects - [Stewart Street Project](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/stewart-street-project-pj-vj~7498332) - Location: Evanston, IL - Photos: 15 - [Harrison Street Project](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/harrison-street-project-pj-vj~7498325) - Location: Evanston, IL - Photos: 19 - [Greenwood Project](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/greenwood-project-pj-vj~7498920) - Location: Glencoe, IL - Photos: 11 - [Fir Street Project](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/fir-street-project-pj-vj~7498342) - Location: Glenview, IL - Photos: 12 - [Meadowview Dr.](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/meadowview-dr-pj-vj~6929571) - Location: Northfield, IL - Photos: 28 - [Wincanton Rd.](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/wincanton-rd-pj-vj~6929599) - Location: Deerfield, IL - Photos: 17 - [Osage Drive](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/osage-drive-pj-vj~6929619) - Location: Glenview, IL - Photos: 25 - [Washington Avenue](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/washington-avenue-pj-vj~6931137) - Location: Lake Bluff, IL - Photos: 10 - [Central Park](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/central-park-pj-vj~6930981) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 13 - [Salem Lane](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/salem-lane-pj-vj~6929605) - Location: Evanston, IL - Photos: 16 - [Ewing Avenue](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/ewing-avenue-pj-vj~6930945) - Location: Evanston, IL - Photos: 39 [See all 11 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/design-build-firms/forest-glen-construction-co-pfvwus-pf~629199617) ## Ideabooks - [Forest Glen Kitchens](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/2505891/list/forest-glen-kitchens) — 61 ideas - [Forest Glen Bathrooms](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/2506309/list/forest-glen-bathrooms) — 11 ideas - [Forest Glen Exteriors](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/2707786/list/forest-glen-exteriors) — 16 ideas - [Storage & Organization](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/6725222/list/storage-organization) — 6 ideas [See all 4 ideabooks](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/users/forestglen) ## Community Q&A **Q: I would love to know the countertop...granite? and colour please.** *(in Photo Questions)* A: The countertop material is granite, but our records are incomplete with regards to the color. **Q: Perfect room.
