High End Home Remodeling and Additions in Chicago’s North Shore & Surrounding Suburbs

A quality build requires a singular focus. Ratia Construction focuses on the execution of residential builds, leaving the design to visionaries who understand the nuances of the North Shore’s aesthetic sensibilities.

Respecting the rich architectural heritage of the North Shore demands an eye for matching original craftsmanship. Whether working on a Georgian estate, Tudor mansion, mid-century bungalow or modern showcase, our prerogative is about realizing an architect or interior designer’s vision through construction. Our team’s familiarity with individual villages’ permitting, zoning and historical preservation guidelines helps us create streamlined project management workflows and convey realistic timelines to homeowners.

Rooted in our founder’s background in the elite luxury home concierge space, we deliver a white-glove standard of service rarely found in the construction industry. Years of coordinating every detail of home builds from bespoke millwork installations and adapting the mortar application in a shower to work with the various depths of handmade tile helps us catch what others miss. We anticipate potential problem before updates require ripping things out. By the time we hand over your keys, you can rest assured that your newly transformed space is well-built, beautiful and ready to serve as the enduring backdrop to your life.
