Kenilworth Home Remodeling

Founded in 1889, Kenilworth was developed as a planned community on the North Shore, complete with underground utilities, large lots and homes positioned for optimal sunlight. Due to the precise planning from its beginning, local ordinances for Kenilworth require a thorough architectural review for all remodeling projects along with a zoning review for addition projects to preserve the historic nature of the area. With so many homes dating back more than a century, remodeling projects in Kenilworth often include tackling outdated electrical and plumbing, along with modernizing homes for functionality while maintaining historic charm — areas in which Normandy has extensive experience.

Founder and businessman Joseph Sears named the village after a town in England, famous for Kenilworth Castle, and it’s this English countryside vision that inspired guidelines which require major exterior changes to blend with the neighborhood’s aesthetic. Prairie School architect Frank Lloyd Wright designed a home in Kenilworth that was added to the National Register of Historic Places. And George W. Maher, a contemporary of Frank Lloyd Wright, designed multiple homes in Kenilworth and lived there as well.

Whether you’re contemplating a Kenilworth addition, bathroom, kitchen, first-floor remodel, whole home remodel or historic home remodel, Normandy has a proven track record in a wide range of projects since our own founding in 1979. Below are some examples of Kenilworth kitchen remodeling and Kenilworth bathroom remodels that were completed in the community.
