About Über Haus

Über Haus is a locally owned, veteran-owned design-build renovation firm serving Chicago’s western suburbs.

Our work is built around a simple idea: the people designing a renovation and the people building it should know each other.

Our interior designer, architect and lead carpenters work together throughout the project. That gives design a practical backbone and gives the building team a clear understanding of what the finished room is supposed to become.

Twenty-Five Years in Older Homes

The company is led by a fifth-generation carpenter with a construction management background and twenty-five years in residential renovation.

A lot of those years have been spent inside houses that were already old before any of us showed up.

That experience changes how you look at them.

You learn what is worth keeping. You learn how earlier builders solved problems. You learn that opening a wall is not permission to erase a house’s character.

The Standard

We take those houses and make them work for another generation.

Every project is managed directly by ownership, with the same team carrying it from design through construction.

Quality. Integrity. Experience.

Tell us about the house and what you want to do with it. We’ll come look at it.

Our Team Includes:

Interior and architectural designers: drawings that account for how the house was actually built.
Lead carpenters: fifth-generation trade experience on plaster, lath and old-growth framing.
Project management: one point of contact, from the first drawing through final production.
