DESIGN | BUILD
Western Springs homes — from early-1900s houses near the tower to mid-century streets — deserve careful work. Ascendesign brings design and build together, with crews we've already vetted.

Housing stock: Western Springs is a western-suburban village whose stone Water Tower (1892), listed on the National Register of Historic Places, anchors its downtown. Its housing mixes early-20th-century homes with mid-century and newer houses. [CONFIRM details]
Typical projects: Kitchen and bath remodels, whole-home renovations, basement finishing, integrated technology. [PLACEHOLDER — confirm]
Permitting: Permits here are issued by the Village of Western Springs. Every contractor must be licensed by the Village and listed on the permit application: general contractors need a $1 million general liability certificate and a $10,000 surety bond, subcontractors need a $10,000 surety bond, and permits aren't issued until all contractors are licensed and bonded. We handle permit applications and inspection scheduling as part of the project. [CONFIRM current requirements with the department before each job]
Yes. Western Springs requires every contractor on a permit to be licensed and bonded with the Village before the permit is issued. We make sure each trade is licensed before work starts.
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.

We're developers who hire GCs and subs every day. We've dealt with the ghosting and the disappearing deposits, so you don't have to.
