This project features a full garage door opener installation for a homeowner in Wilmette, IL. The existing opener was outdated, noisy, and lacked modern safety features. Our team installed a new smart, quiet, and energy‑efficient opener with Wi‑Fi connectivity, improved lighting, and enhanced security sensors. We completed full setup, remote programming, and system testing to ensure smooth and reliable operation. The upgrade provided the homeowner with a safer, quieter, and more convenient garage door experience.

This dramatic twilight shot showcases the essential elements of modern landscape design: privacy and light. A custom horizontal wood slat fence provides a warm, contemporary backdrop, contrasting beautifully with the geometric grid pattern of the lawn (pavers and synthetic turf). Architectural trees are highlighted by precise uplighting, enhancing the mulched, drought-tolerant planting beds and creating a secure, high-end ambiance.

The goal was to create a barrier-free bathroom in a small guest bathroom that will be used by aging parents for years to come. 3' horizontal niche with balance bar gives that added sense of security when sitting or standing while showering. The hand-held and wall mounted shower head provide flexibility and functionality.

This custom-built metal fencing project was designed to combine security, durability, and refined curb appeal. The installation features a double swing electric driveway gate and an 8-foot metal walk-through gate, providing both convenient access and enhanced functionality. Stone columns and a matching stone wall are integrated throughout the metal fencing, adding texture, contrast, and architectural interest. A stamped concrete driveway complements the overall design while delivering long-lasting performance. The landscape was completed with a low-maintenance approach, including a rock garden, concrete zero-maintenance planters, and faux grass in both the front and backyard. Together, these elements create a cohesive, visually striking property with modern style and minimal upkeep.

The FlexRoof provides overhead protection from outdoor elements with design and innovation. Our FlexRoof can be installed together with or separately from a FlexRoom.

Built in the early ’60’s, the original ranch-style home contained two bedrooms and one bath. In the mid 90’s, a master bath and laundry were added, and a two-car garage was built behind the home. Views of the river were available, but never exploited. In 2007, its new owners approached JRML with a design program requiring major revisions to the first floor, and a second floor that maximized river views from the master bedroom and bath. A screened porch, balcony and outside shower were also desired. For style, the owners chose Contemporary Island for its white exterior and louver-shutters. To access the garage, we designed a porte-cochere, and perched the master bedroom above for river views. An overhead door was added for security. Deep overhangs and louvered shutters provide shade. The white roof and siding reflect the sun. The west-facing rear features large windows, a pergola balcony with river views, and an outside shower. A screened porch provides insect-free enjoyment. Hip roofs, tile, lap and board and batten siding add visual interest to the exterior. Abundant landscape and hard-scape features provide a respite from the nearby city.
