Home Additions in Palos Heights, IL

Room additions, covered porches, and full remodels built for Palos Heights homes — Bob Zeiler on-site daily, from permit to punchlist.

A Decade-Plus of Additions Across Palos Heights, IL

Bob Zeiler has been building additions and remodeling homes across Palos Heights, IL for over a decade. From the mid-century ranches around Westgate Valley and Navajo Hills to the larger homes near Lake Katherine and the Independence Park area, he has framed second stories, opened up kitchens, added covered porches, and built first-floor primary suites onto homes that needed to grow with their families instead of being sold.

Palos Heights has heavy clay soil and the same freeze-thaw cycles that wreck shortcut foundations and slab work all over the south suburbs. Bob has seen what happens when a contractor rushes the footing depth, skips proper compaction, or pours over frozen ground — frost heave cracks the slab, the addition pulls away from the original house, and the homeowner is left chasing warranty calls. He doesn't take those shortcuts. Footings go in below the frost line, drainage gets engineered properly, and concrete goes down on prepped, compacted base — every time.

Beyond Palos Heights itself, Bob regularly handles additions and remodels in Orland Park, Tinley Park, Worth, Crestwood, and the surrounding south-suburban Chicago neighborhoods. If you're in the area and want a contractor who actually answers the phone and shows up on-site every day, you're in the right place.
