Ready to Transform Your Evanston Home?

Evanston is known for its beautiful mix of historic Victorians, Craftsman homes, classic brick two-flats, and early twentieth-century residences, many located along tree-lined streets near Lake Michigan. While these homes offer incredible character, they often come with smaller kitchens, divided floor plans, aging bathrooms, and unfinished or outdated basements that don’t reflect the way families live today.

At Maya Construction Group, we simplify the remodeling process by managing every detail from start to finish. From planning and permits to construction and the final walkthrough, our team handles every phase so you can enjoy the excitement of transforming your home without the stress.

Whether you’re removing walls to create a brighter, more open layout, building a custom kitchen designed for everyday living and entertaining, updating an older bathroom into a relaxing spa-like retreat, or converting your basement into a dry, comfortable family room, guest suite, or home office, we’ll help you bring new life to your home.

Every remodeling project is carefully designed to preserve the unique character of your Evanston property while improving functionality, comfort, and long-term value, creating spaces your family will enjoy for years to come.
