Our home is known as the Drew Home, built in 1888, and is the first historically landmarked home in Downers Grove. For our project, we were faced with the challenge of bringing the latest in high technology building science to the original historic structure while preserving and restoring the original character of our home. Our goal for our project was to expand the home from the original layout while incorporating the latest in green, sustainable, and energy-efficient building materials and techniques. Aesthetically, we also wanted to meld the character of the historic property with modern and contemporary design. It was not easy as we had to search intensively for a builder that would be able to handle a project like this. Fortunately, we came across BrightLeaf and made the best choice as they really delivered for us on this project. We really appreciated not only their level of professionalism throughout this project, but also their level of care. With a project like this, there are a lot of uncertainties and BrightLeaf was always there with clear communication to walk us through each step of the project.

Top-quality remodeling professionals. Experts in their field and a pleasure to work with. Highly recommended. Hope to work with Brightleaf again in the future.

Brightleaf was amazing! Cannot say it enough. Everyone was professional, helpful, easy to work with. They streamlined what is naturally an overwhelming and stressful process. I can't imagine what it would have been like with a company less sleek than brightleaf. We know a lot of people who have remodeled and/or built custom homes with different contractors and have been able to discuss our experiences to confirm brightleaf went above and beyond. We love our home so much and so our family is forever grateful. Highly recommend!
