Why a Local Remodeling Resource Matters

Lake County continues to see strong demand for home improvement projects — from kitchen remodels in Gurnee, to bathroom renovations in Libertyville, to basement finishing in Round Lake and home additions throughout Lindenhurst and Antioch. While interest is high, many homeowners face unexpected setbacks due to:

  • Choosing low-quality materials that fail prematurely.

  • Skipping permit requirements and running into code violations.

  • Hiring unqualified contractors to save on upfront costs.

  • Underestimating true project budgets, leading to delays or unfinished work.

The Rohrer for Construction Advice Center aims to eliminate these risks by equipping homeowners with trusted, locally focused guidance before they begin.

  • Permit checklists tailored to towns like Grayslake, Libertyville, and Lindenhurst.
