DESIGN | BUILD
From Prairie-era landmarks to classic four-squares and postwar homes, Elmhurst has houses worth investing in. Ascendesign plans and builds with one team — and only puts crews on your job that we've vetted.

Housing stock: Elmhurst is a DuPage County city with a walkable downtown and a broad mix of homes — early-20th-century houses near the center, including Frank Lloyd Wright's Frank B. Henderson House (1901), and many mid-century and newer homes. [CONFIRM details]
Typical projects: Kitchen and bath remodels, whole-home renovations, basement finishing, integrated technology. [PLACEHOLDER — confirm]
Permitting: Permits here are issued by the City of Elmhurst Community Development Department. Every contractor listed on a permit application must create an account on the City's Citizen Self-Service Portal and complete the City's contractor registration before the permit can be approved for payment. We handle permit applications and inspection scheduling as part of the project. [CONFIRM current requirements with the department before each job]
Yes. Elmhurst requires every contractor listed on a permit to complete City contractor registration through its online portal before the permit is approved. We handle registration for every trade.
We pull the required permits for work we contract and coordinate inspections.
We vet every contractor. Some jobs take 60–80 bids because many don't call back, don't show up, aren't insured, or are booked months out. We screen for insurance before anyone is put on your project.
