For those who have achieved a certain level of success, a custom home is more than a place to live; it's a personal sanctuary and a legacy asset. Building a luxury custom home in Chicago offers the unique opportunity to create something that reflects your personal style while standing the test of time in one of the city's prestigious neighborhoods. At Klasik Construction, we believe the process should be as remarkable as the final product.
Many contractors build houses. We build homes. This means we focus on the elements that truly define luxury living, from pre-construction relationship and communication building through the beautiful delivery of the finished product exactly as you envision it.
Curated Material Selection: We have established relationships with leading suppliers of premium materials, from wide-plank European oak flooring to hand-selected natural stone for countertops and exteriors. We guide you through selecting materials that are not only beautiful but also durable enough for Chicago's climate.
Artisan Craftsmanship: The details make the difference. Our network of master carpenters, metalworkers, and finish experts ensures that every millwork detail, every built-in, and every ceiling treatment is executed to perfection.
Technology Integration: A true modern home builder seamlessly integrates technology. We work with specialists to pre-wire for smart home systems, automated shading, integrated audio, and security, hiding the complexity while providing effortless control.
Chicago is a city of distinct neighborhoods, each with its own character and considerations.
- Lincoln Park & Old Town: These areas often involve working with older existing structures or tight lots. Expertise in luxury home additions and blending new construction with historic context is essential.
- Gold Coast & Streeterville: Here, you're often building on a constrained urban site. Logistics, material handling, and navigating high-density zoning laws are key skills.
- Suburban Enclaves (Winnetka, Hinsdale): These projects may offer more space but come with their own stringent village codes and design review boards. Our experience extends to these top suburban markets.
Visioneering: We sit down with you to understand your vision, lifestyle, and non-negotiables. This is the foundation of everything.
Klasik Construction guides clients through every step of the home-building journey with a focus on collaboration, clarity, and lasting support. The process begins with architectural collaboration, where the team can introduce you to acclaimed Chicago architects or work seamlessly with your own professional. During this stage they provide practical construction insight to keep your vision both buildable and on budget. Pre-construction follows, eliminating surprises by creating a detailed plan, timeline, and fixed price once the designs are complete. When construction begins, you gain access to a dedicated online portal showing real-time progress, schedules, and budgets, while the crew maintains a spotless job site and consistent communication. Finally, the “Welcome Home” phase goes beyond handing over the keys: you receive a full walk-through of every feature, a comprehensive warranty package, and the assurance that Klasik remains a trusted partner long after move-in.
A full custom home construction project is a significant investment, often starting at $500,000 and going well beyond based on size, finishes, and complexity. This investment buys you:
- Un-compromised Quality: Control over every material and system in your home.
- Perfect Functionality: A home designed for how you actually live.
- Long-Term Value: A well-built custom home with high-quality materials is a durable asset.
For those considering a significant upgrade rather than a ground-up build, a high-end home addition or luxury kitchen renovation can be a transformative project that modernizes your existing space.
Building your custom home is one of the most rewarding projects you will ever undertake. It requires a partnership built on trust, transparency, and a shared commitment to excellence.
If you are beginning to explore the possibility of building in Chicago, we would be honored to hear your ideas and share our perspective.
