Home additions & whole-house remodels in Glen Ellyn

Glen Ellyn’s homes deserve a builder who knows them — the older houses near downtown and Lake Ellyn, the village permitting process and the neighbors next door. Our team has been building here for decades.

Recognized by the Glen Ellyn Historic Preservation Commission for our work on historic Glen Ellyn homes.

“Wetmore helped guide us through the process (as this was our first remodel project) and worked with us to quickly address and resolve any issues we encountered along the way. We would highly recommend them and plan to work with them again.”

How it works

Start with preconstruction

We join you and your architect early, price the design as it develops, handle Village of Glen Ellyn permitting and build a schedule we keep. Open books from start to finish.
