John is often asked about construction/remodeling costs. He gives a range of $300-500/sq. ft.based on what variables are involved.

He showed an example of a house in Oak Park that the owners wanted to remove the outside deck and porch on the back and put in a sun room instead. John was able to keep the overall style of the house but using today’s materials. Cost: $100,000.

On the other end of the cost scale was a job in Winnetka that includes a wrap around outside porch, new bathroom, new separating wall and archway, and new wooden ceilings from a tree on the property that needed to be cut down. Cost: $1,000,000.
