Local, experienced, hands-on
Small enough to know your project by name.
Nova Nest is a family owned general construction and interior remodeling company serving Lake County and the northern Chicago suburbs. Our four-person core team works with trusted trade partners while the owners stay involved from the first conversation through the final walkthrough.
That focused approach keeps communication direct, response times fast, and accountability clear. You are never passed between departments or treated like a job number.

Remodeling Lake County homes since 2001
Since 2001 we have remodeled homes across Lake County and the northern Chicago suburbs. That history matters when you are trusting someone with the house you live in. It means we have seen how local homes are built, how village permit processes work, and which details hold up through northern Illinois winters, and we bring that experience to every plan. As a family owned remodeling contractor, we have built our name one Lake County home at a time.
The owners stay on your project
With many companies, the person who sells the job is not the person you see during construction. Our owners stay involved from the first conversation through the final walkthrough. Our four-person core team works with trusted trade partners, which keeps communication direct, response times fast, and accountability clear. You are never passed between departments or treated like a job number. That is the difference a family owned remodeling contractor makes: the people who answer for the work are the people doing it.
Safety and respect inside your home
Remodeling an occupied home takes discipline as well as skill. Our crew is OSHA 30-trained and CPR/AED and First Aid certified, and the OSHA Outreach Training Program describes what that training covers. In your home, that means protected floors, sealed work zones, and daily cleanup, so the rest of your house keeps working while one room changes.
Based in Round Lake Beach, working across Lake County
We are based in Round Lake Beach and serve Lake County and the northern Chicago suburbs, from Round Lake, Grayslake, and Lake Villa to Libertyville, Mundelein, and Vernon Hills. As a local, family owned remodeling contractor, we know how village permit processes differ, and we are never far from your project.
Plans built around your household
No two families use a home the same way, so we do not sell standard packages. Every plan reflects your household, priorities, and property. We sweat the fit, alignment, transitions, and finishes that make a remodel last, because a family owned remodeling contractor lives on its reputation with neighbors.
The projects we take on
Our work covers kitchen remodeling, bathroom remodeling, basement finishing, decks, custom closets, home offices, in-law suites, and garage conversions. Because one team handles planning, permits, trade coordination, and construction, a project that touches several rooms still has one schedule and one point of contact.
You hear from us when plans change
Remodeling rarely goes exactly to plan once walls are opened, and silence is what makes surprises stressful. When conditions change, you hear from us, along with what it means for the schedule and the scope. When work pauses for the day, your home is left protected and organized, so you can see progress instead of a mess. Clear, honest updates are part of how a family owned remodeling contractor earns the next referral.
