Rite Way Custom Homes

I am a Keller-Williams Realtor based in Glen Ellyn, IL. When my clients have construction, building code or zoning questions, my go-to builder is Marv Ritter at Rite-Way Custom Homes. Marv and the Rite-Way team are well versed in new construction, additions and remodeling. They have published three books designed to help potential clients better understand the key issues. Insightful, helpful and well written books that will help you save thousands, if not tens of thousands, of dollars on your new home, renovation or addition. Marv has so much experience, he is a great resource for those tricky and technological questions...he is on speed dial for my business. Bob Toren - Keller-Williams Premiere Properties

We worked with Marv, Walt and Terri from Rite-Way Custom Homes to visualize and fine tune the blueprint for our new home. Their 2D and 3D architectural software tools helped us to improve our design. This led to an overall lower cost of construction. The team listens and guides. They are responsive and great communicators. We highly recommend you meet with the Rite-Way team before selecting your builder.

Big shout out to Rite Way. We were looking for help on a project to our current home. They were prompt, professional and thorough. They offer so many services to a variety of clients. You can an be looking for a new home or help with your existing one too.

Marv Ritter at Rite Way helped us refine and improve the design of our Michigan retirement home through interactive CAD (computer aided design) utilizing 2D, 3D and Virtual Reality. It was absolutely amazing to be able to literally walk through the levels of our home with his Virtual Reality System! Marv helped us catch things we never would have thought about from a 1 dimensional design, and assisted with options and advice to make our design better.

I can't say enough about Marv and the Rite Way team! We live on a very complicated triangle lot, and Marv has spent WEEKS on calls and emails, going back and forth with the village to see what's even possible to build. We would never have even known where to start, and Marv was so kind to deal with all of the complexity for us. I had to post a review even though we're still mid-stream on the project - it says a lot about a company and its people that they're willing to do all of this even before we sign on the dotted line.

Our company has been working with Rite-Way for many years and they have always been easy to work with. Working with Walt, Marv and Terri is always a wonderful experience. They provide excellent customer service and are very timely in their work. Carradus Land Survey looks forward to continue working with them for years to come!

We were looking for a very particular custom home, one where we could age in place but wasn't obviously ADA compliant. Marv and Walt spent about 12 hours over 4 sessions listening to our design ideas and looking at concept photos. They chose an architect (Nick) who nailed our design concept and who took the extra time to tour the neighborhood to make sure the house "fit". Walt and Marv were true partners throughout the project and were also willing to work with outside artists . Terry was quick to respond to all of our questions. Riteway's craftsmanship and quality is outstanding. As a result, we have a house that will let us live here for many years to come and is stunningly beautiful.

We had a pleasure of working with Rite Way Custom Homes and could not ask for a better partner to work with. The entire team is very knowledgeable, always responsive and most importantly always holds their clients' satisfaction as their top priority. We hope to work together on many more projects in the future.

Rite-Way Custom Homes is a great company to work with. They do business the right way and are true to their word. You will not be disappointed!

Marv and Terry are the utmost professionals to work with when planning your dream home. Their attention to detail and their ability to know their customer is amazing.

We worked with Rite Way to design and build our home in 2014-2015. The team was great to work and really focused on making every detail exactly what we wanted. Walt is a very knowledgeable builder and the whole team took great pride in building a home using highest quality materials, expert craftsmen and truly custom. We love our home!

Rite-Way recently completed our new house and overall, we enjoyed working with them. They listened to us and helped transform what we wanted into our dream house. Walt consistently developed countless ideas, sketches and designs for various parts of our house - he has a wealth of home building knowledge. The quality and carpentry was very good! We also think their team of subcontractors are exceptional and great to work with.

Rite Way Custom Homes and my design firm collaborated on a remodeling project recently. It was a a great team work and the client was very pleased with the end result. Looking forward to many more projects together!

Terrific floor planning, complete with lighting conceptualization and spatial awareness, including HD computerized 3D-graphics of entire rooms demonstrating effects of shadow and light. Of significant value - the finished carpentry is beyond 5-star; including the highest level of millwork, cased openings, crown moldings, and fireplace surrounds. Respectful subcontractors, easy to work with.

Marv was absolutely the most professional builder I have ever worked with. His talent and expertise an all aspects of building a home surpassesd all of my expectations . I would highly recommend him from start to finish in building your dream home .

We hired Rite Way to build our first home and they are truly a fully custom home builder. They were very involved in the process from the beginning to the end to ensure the process was smooth. The quality of workmanship is very good and no detail goes unnoticed.

I’ve worked for 20 + builders in Chicago land area and hands down the team at rite-way homes really goes above beyond anyone I’ve worked with , they are passionate about every aspect , by far the most down to earth hard working individuals I’ve had the pleasure of working with. Keep setting the bar guys and look forward to working together again.

Rite-Way specializes in beautiful, very high-quality Amish-made cabinets that impressed me a great deal. Although I did not accept Rite-Way's bid on my project, I certainly would have if I had had a large-enough budget to purchase Rite-Way's level of quality. Rite-Way's Marv Ritter was very professional, personable, informative, and accommodating. I was very impressed with the quality of cabinet/drawer/door samples he showed me, and his color CAD illustrations were far superior to those of the other companies from which I requested quotes. I trust these people.

When we purchased our home last year, while we loved inside, we were less thrilled about the outside and wanted to make a change. We spoke to a few contractors, but only Rite-Way truly listened to what we wanted and gave suggestions that helped my vision become a reality. We now have a beautiful entryway and the soffits and trim really gave our home the curb appeal I was looking for. The workmanship was incredible. During the course of the project, if I ever had a concern, they addressed it right away. I am beyond thrilled with the results and would recommend Rite-Way in a heartbeat.

While designing a home, clients often have not selected a builder. We recommend Riteway Custom Homes without hesitation because of their integrity, unbelievable attention to detail, their quality contractors and materials. The completed home, remodel or addition is always beyond the homeowner's expectations!

I've been working with Rite-Way Custom Homes for many years and I can say without a doubt that they are absolutely a pleasure to work with. The customer service and professionalism is above and beyond what one would expect. Beyond that their craftsmanship and attention to detail in all the homes I've had the pleasure of photographing is on another level. I've photographed thousands of homes in the last 15 years and in that time I have yet to come across another builder that creates such a unique experience in the homes they develop. If you are looking for a professional home building experience, look no further and schedule a consultation today.

Working with Rite Way was the best decision we have made for our home. Marv and Walt are professional, precise and communicated with us on every step of the job. Our project had a deadline and they went above and beyond to make sure it was done in time. Their attention to detail and integrity truly sets them apart from other home builders/contractors. I would absolutely hire them again and plan on doing so for future projects. Thank you, Rite Way, for being an amazing company who puts your customers first.

Rite-Way is the place to go when you want the absolute best experience in rehabbing a home. The service has been white glove from meeting with Marv, to designing plans with the architect (Nick), picking custom design finishes (Terri), and communicating with Walt all the way through. If you care about the quality and details of your home, look into Rite-Way. You will not be disappointed.

We were looking for a home in Glen Ellyn because we love the walkability of the community. Also, we were relocating from Chicago’s northern suburbs where we had a lovely and stylish ten year old home with a luxury feel and all the upgrades. Being empty nesters, we were looking to get a home that was right sized for us as well. After a few months of looking at homes that did not quite fit the bill, we began to research home builders in the area and were considering buying a home and going through a tear down or significant renovation. We met with several builders, and found that the following things above all else: 1.Experience in construction/renovation of existing homes in Glen Ellyn. 2.Personal service to help explain options and to identify pitfalls (I have a construction background but my wife does not and we were considering a major renovation). 3.Quality in workmanship and design 4.A firm that would be mindful of our budget and schedule. Riteway looked as if they checked all of the boxes and I am happy to say that our experience and results exceeded our expectations. We identified a 1930’s era home that had been remodeled over the years and had great curb appeal and a terrific location. We had a renovation budget in mind and had some ambitious ideas for the home. Marv and Walt were instantly enthusiastic about our project and helped us refine our budget so that we could do the renovations we initially thought about within our budget, but also established a contingency budget for items that inevitably pop up (most of which were driven by changes we suggested as opposed to the usual renovation contingencies). They had financing alternatives and contacts for us to take advantage of, and also a great network of subcontractors and suppliers that led us to make great decisions in cabinet and counter designs, fireplace renovations, floor finishes and roofing and gutters. As in every major renovation, there were issues where we struggled with a decision of what to do. Marv and Walt were practical in their approach to our budget and innovative in their approach to our work. Terri handled the financial piece of the renovation very professionally and used a title company for the monthly draws to protect everyone involved. Terri also educated us quickly on everything that Glen Ellyn has to offer residents, she was a real ambassador of goodwill. Our renovation turned out wonderfully, and we highly recommend Riteway for a renovation project like ours. The greatest thing about our choice to use Riteway was the quality we received, the attention to detail and to our budget, and the relationships that we started that I am sure will go on for years to come.

Rite-Way remodeled our home 10 years ago, and we are as pleased with the changes today as we were in 2008! Walt's knowledge and listening skills were crucial to working together to envision how our 30 year old house could be modified to meet the needs for our future. No area of the main floor was left untouched, and we were thrilled with the high quality results. But, our favorite part of the remodel was the screened in porch! Walt even suggested a fireplace, which we were delighted to implement! To this day, every time we settle on the porch, we feel like we are at a bed and breakfast; it has been life changing for us, as the room encourages rest and relaxation at any time of the day. Thank you Rite-Way!

My husband and I have lived in our original ranch style house in Glen Ellyn for the past 61 years. Recently we thought of relocating to a senior apartment facility, but really did not want to move from our home. So, instead we contacted Rite-Way builders and discussed the options of what could be done to “old age proof” our home. The end result was to have them convert one of our bathrooms into a walk-in shower and install a stackable washer and dryer in the closet in our smallest bedroom to eliminate the need to go down the steep stairs to the basement laundry area. In addition, we had walls and woodwork painted in three bedrooms, bathroom, hall and living room, plus other small “jobs” I wanted done. We have been so totally happy with the results. Rite-Way owners are so knowledgeable, offered so many suggestions and were so great to deal with. The work was done in a very timely fashion and was done with the least amount of disruption as possible. Each day tarps were laid down to protect floors and furniture where necessary and removed at the end of the day. All debris was removed from the site each day. Their attention to detail was fantastic. I would highly recommend them to anyone who wants quality work done. In addition to the owners expertise I have to compliment two of their workers who were at our house daily, Miguel and Connor. Their friendliness, expertise and general construction knowledge is to be commended. Thank you Rite-Way for a great job.

We worked with Rite Way to design and build our home. It's absolutely beautiful and everyday I feel like I live in a magazine. The team at Rite Way believes in using the highest quality materials and craftsmen to build the home that their client envisions. This builder does not cut corners to build homes that they are proud of and that satisfy the client's wish list. At every opportunity during the building process, Rite Way made every effort to create a home that was exactly what we wanted. We are very pleased with our home.

Rite Way created a beautiful and custom full bathroom on the first floor of our 100 year old home. The restroom was created from a useless small room in the rear of the house and is now one of the most beautiful rooms in the house. We were able to make every decision on finishes from start to finish and were extremely pleased with the end result. The work started at the height of the hottest summer on record and finished days before we returned home from the hospital with our first child. Everything was clean during the construction and the contractors were a joy to have in our home. There is not a single visitor that comes to our home that isn't overly impressed with the way the room turned out and we have not had a single issue with the workmanship or quality of the room. We will continue to use Rite Way for any renovation project in home, big or small, and cannot recommend them enough!
