A message from the owner...

I would like to first, thank you for stopping by our website. I hope it gives you a feel for who we are, the standards of quality we uphold, and the information you are looking for in selecting your next contractor. 


I come from a long lineage of carpenters; going back to my grandpa's grandpa. Although I was never old enough to meet my ancestors, I know I am carrying some of their knowledege and skills in my back pocket. I've spoken with many of my grandfather's past customers throughout my life, and the one thing I've always heard was that he was one of the best of the best. In this ever changing industry, it's comforting knowing I had the chance to learn from one of yesterday's leaders.


The construction trade may have changed tremendously over the years, but a few things for me have not! I strive to carry on my family's legacy, and to provide our customers with the best customer service in the industry. I know how hard it is to find an honest, trustworthy person or persons to come into your business or home that take pride in their work. Your home is your most valuable asset and should be treated as such. Should you choose to do business with us, you will see that we do not take shortcuts, our attention to detail is impeccable, your budget is important to us, and your satisfaction is our number one priority.


But! Don't just take my word for it! Before you leave, make sure to see what our customers have to say about our crews and our quality of craftsmanship!

Kitchen Designs and Remodels

Like no other room...

image42

 Just like the Classen's kitchen in Emden, IL - Your kitchen is the heart and soul of your home. It’s the hub of activity and a natural gathering spot for family and guests. Elite Design and Building Contractors can deliver refreshed functionality and convenience, and our superior design is custom-tailored to your specifications. Our designers will work with you to ensure your kitchen remodel will exceed your expectations.

Affordable and stylish construction

 The industrial look of this Williamsville, IL kitchen was designed by Eric and Julia and re-built with the help of Elite Design and Building Contractors. The kitchen remodeling process can be a challenge, which is why the Elite team makes every effort to listen to the client from start to finish and eliminate as many questions as possible at the beginning of every project. We look forward to each project for its individuality and the opportunity to make your vision come true. Kitchens aren’t what they used to be. As technology advances, so do the demands on a kitchen’s design and functionality. The introduction of the kitchen island has lent more flexibility to the positioning of the kitchen cabinets and kitchen sink, and helped make open plan kitchens and dining rooms a reality. 

Unmatched craftsmanship

The Elite team prides itself on raising the bar on what homeowners can expect from their custom  builder. In addition to providing unparalleled quality of construction, we deliver VALUE in custom home building and remodeling. We proudly offer the latest in innovative design, materials, and “green” products for your project, just like this flip home in East Peoria, IL.

Add value to your home

 Remodeling your kitchen can be one of the most dramatic changes to your home, but it can also add the greatest value and return on your investment. The kitchen represents the biggest factor when it comes time to buy a new home. And, if given the choice of only one space in the home to remodel, a remodel of your kitchen will reap the greatest rewards.

Bathroom renovations

More than just a bathroom...

image46

 Tired of your old bathroom? It’s time to transform your old space into the calming sanctuary you’ve always dreamed of.

Once the most neglected room in the home, the bathroom has become more than “merely functional,” and truly become a feature. From cosmetic replacement of fixtures and surfaces to complete redesigns, Elite Design and Building Contractors can help you with budgeting, design and installation of your dream bathroom.

Style to fit your personality

image47

 Whether you prefer classic or contemporary designs, your bathroom can be a place to get away from it all and a place to wake up and get your day started. Many bathrooms these days are becoming “a little piece of paradise” for their owners. Our design team can help you select finishes and configurations to suit your bathroom needs as well as your tastes.

Functionality that's fun

image48

 You don’t have to be limited to just a toilet, sink and tub. Take advantage of the newest fixtures and amenities: steam showers, heated towel bars, art-glass vessel sinks, body-jets in your shower. Make your bathroom satisfy your wildest dreams! Today the modern homeowner is looking to transform their bathroom into a soothing environment in which to relax and forget the stresses of the day.

Commercial Projects

Local business

image55

The Elite team has long believed that our community deserves a contractor who cares about your projects, who aims to deliver what we promised, for the price quoted, in the timeline offered.  We’ve shared this approach with our residential clients throughout central Illinois for years, and in 2017, we decided it was time to offer our careful approach to construction to the business world.  We added some smart folks with extensive backgrounds in commercial construction, and combined their expertise with the Elite way of conducting business and standing behind our work.  The results have been exciting and rewarding, both for us and for the business owners we’ve served.  If you have a building improvement project, are contemplating opening up your own restaurant or pub, need an upgrade to your office or work space, or want to invest in your future by building or renovating multi-family income property, we’re here to help you through the entire process.

If you’ve just found the new perfect location for your business, but need to make it your own, we can help.  If your existing space isn’t aesthetically reflecting the quality of services you’re offering, we can give you a refresh to show your clientele you’re still as dynamic a business as you were when they hired you.  Our flexible team can adapt to your needs promptly and offer reasonable rates for extraordinary work. What was once an old musty storage room lined with wooden lockers, turned into the perfect office space for an apartment manager and her assistant!

Multi-family build/remodel

image57

 While building custom, single family homes is complicated, creating spaces for many families to live under a shared roof is even more challenging. The “homes” we create for our multi-family projects need to feel like comfortable places in which to live.. We also need to consider how to make them efficient, safe and practical.  Multi-family construction has many facets to consider: fire, life/safety concerns, parking lay outs, shared services (utilities, garbage, etc) to account for and many other items that require an experienced team.  Our background in residential construction mixed with the experience of our commercial team uniquely allows us to see the project from both sides of the coin to ensure our clients are delivered long lasting, thoughtful and beautiful spaces to represent their long-term investments.
