Smart Builders, Inc. believes that understanding how a family lives and what is important to them is the first step toward a successful project. It is their responsibility to orchestrate the process that takes the design through a series of stages, culminating in a stunning final product. They create a once-in-a-lifetime experience by listening to the client’s needs, understanding their budget, and assisting them with the decision-making process.

Smart Builders is pleased to present one of their current construction projects. The modern colonial custom home is nestled on a lovely lot on Chestnut Street in the North Shore community of Wilmette, just a short walk from Lake Michigan.

The ice and water shield is now in place. This waterproof roof underlayment membrane guards against ice and water damage. Wind from strong storms can push rainwater beneath shingles on a roof, especially on Chicago’s North Shore. This protective membrane greatly reduces the livelihood of future leaks caused by wind-driven rain.

The symmetrical structure of a Colonial-style home is one of its most distinguishing features. This Modern Colonial design features pitched gable roofs, a center entrance, symmetrical window composition, and a canopied entry roof. The open first-floor plan includes a large family room and kitchen, both of which open to the stone patios.
