Grace Built Construction delivers full-service residential remodeling to Washington homeowners — honest estimates, quality craftsmanship, and a standard of work that reflects the investment you have made in one of Tazewell County’s most desirable communities.
Washington, IL carries a well-earned reputation as one of the strongest residential communities in central Illinois. The school district consistently draws families who are making a deliberate choice about where they want to raise their children. The neighborhoods spreading out from downtown Washington, along the Route 24 corridor, through Quail Meadows and the established streets near Washington Community High School, are filled with homeowners who have made a serious investment in where they live and who take that investment seriously.
That seriousness extends to how Washington homeowners think about remodeling. When a family in Washington decides to update a kitchen, finish a basement, or add square footage, they are not making a casual decision. They are improving a home that already holds strong value in the local market, in a community where neighbors notice the quality of the work being done and where resale expectations are higher than in much of the surrounding region. They are looking for a contractor who understands that context and works accordingly.
Grace Built Construction works in Washington regularly. We have completed projects in established neighborhoods near the historic downtown, in newer subdivisions along the city’s growing edges, and in the rebuilt and updated homes that reflect how Washington came back stronger after the 2013 storm reshaped parts of the community. We know Washington’s housing stock — the mix of newer construction and older homes with genuine character — and we bring the same standards to every property we work in here.
What Washington homeowners tell us they are looking for is straightforward: a contractor who is honest about cost, careful about the work, and actually finishes what they start without the homeowner having to manage them through it. That is exactly what Grace Built Construction is built to deliver.
Grace Built Construction offers a full range of residential remodeling and construction services to homeowners throughout Washington and the surrounding Tazewell County area. Every service is managed with the same attention to planning, preparation, and quality from start to finish.
Full kitchen renovations including custom cabinetry, countertop installation, layout reconfiguration, flooring, lighting upgrades, and fixture replacement. We design Washington kitchens that work the way you actually cook and entertain — not the way a builder decided they should when the home was new.
Complete bathroom renovations from powder room updates to full primary bath transformations. Walk-in tile showers, freestanding soaking tubs, double vanities, heated floors, frameless glass enclosures, and all plumbing rough-in coordinated as part of a single managed project.
Turning unfinished lower levels into purposeful living space. Family rooms, home theaters, home offices, guest suites, playrooms, and home gyms — with egress windows, insulation, drywall, flooring, and lighting all part of the scope.
New square footage designed and built to integrate naturally with your existing home. Single room additions, master suite expansions, in-law suites, and multi-room builds — all handled from initial design through permitting, construction, and final walkthrough.
Hardwood, luxury vinyl plank, tile, and carpet installation with full subfloor assessment and preparation, removal of existing material, and complete transitions and molding included in every project.
Energy-efficient replacement windows and entry, patio, and interior doors installed with proper flashing, sealing, and finished trim work throughout. Single replacements through full home updates.
Custom decks in composite, cedar, or pressure-treated lumber and patios in pavers, natural stone, or poured concrete. Designed for how Washington families spend time outdoors and built to hold up through central Illinois winters without deteriorating.
Built-in bookshelves, entertainment centers, mudroom systems, custom closets, wainscoting, coffered ceilings, board and batten, and finish millwork throughout your home. Built to fit the exact dimensions of your space rather than adapted from a standard size.
Siding replacement in fiber cement, vinyl, or engineered wood; soffit and fascia; seamless aluminum gutters; and exterior trim work handled as a coordinated system from a single contractor.
New drywall installation and repair, multi-coat finishing, texture matching, and interior painting with proper surface preparation at every stage of the process.

Washington is a community where word of mouth carries real weight. Homeowners here ask neighbors, check references, and pay attention to finished results on nearby properties before making a hiring decision. A contractor who cuts corners or handles a project unprofessionally in Washington does not stay busy here long. Grace Built Construction has earned its presence in this community the straightforward way — by doing the work right and being honest throughout every project.
Homes in Washington hold strong value in the Tazewell County market. When a Washington homeowner commits to a remodel, they are making a decision that has real implications for the long-term value of a significant asset. The materials we specify, the installation standards we hold ourselves to, and the finish quality we require on every project reflect that — because a remodel that looks good for two years and starts showing problems in year three is not an investment. It is a cost.
One of the most common complaints homeowners across central Illinois have about contractors is the gap between the number they were quoted and the number they were billed. Our estimates are itemized and built on a real assessment of what the project involves. They do not shift mid-project unless something genuinely unforeseen comes up — and when that happens, we document it, explain it clearly, and discuss it with you before we proceed.
Washington has a meaningful mix of newer construction homes — many built in the last fifteen to twenty years in planned subdivisions — and established homes closer to the downtown and older residential streets that carry original character worth preserving. Newer homes in Washington often need upgrades that builder-grade finishes simply cannot provide. Older homes require experienced hands and careful assessment before walls are opened or systems are modified. We are equipped to work correctly in both.
Washington homeowners who have managed remodeling projects before understand the frustration of a contractor who is responsive during the sales process and unreachable once work starts. Grace Built maintains consistent communication from the first conversation through the final walkthrough. If something comes up, you hear from us — not the other way around.
The quality of a remodeling project is often most visible in the final ten percent — the trim details, the hardware installation, the paint touch-up, the transition pieces between flooring materials. We do not treat these as minor items to be rushed through or left as homeowner follow-ups. They are part of what we deliver, and we walk through them with every client before we close out a job.
Grace Built Construction has completed remodeling projects throughout Washington — in neighborhoods near the historic downtown square, in established residential streets off of Route 24, in subdivisions on the city’s north and east sides, and in updated homes in areas that have seen significant rebuilding and investment over the past decade.
Washington is a community that holds things to a high standard — its schools, its neighborhoods, its civic spaces, and the businesses that operate here. Grace Built Construction is committed to meeting that standard on every project we take on in this city.
We are fully insured and operate in compliance with all applicable building codes and permitting requirements. For projects requiring permits through the City of Washington, we manage the full application and inspection coordination process as part of our standard project management. Washington homeowners never have to deal with municipal permitting requirements on their own.
We work with a consistent crew and bring in licensed subcontractors for electrical, plumbing, and HVAC work where those trades are part of the project scope. Everyone we bring into a Washington home is someone we have worked with, trust, and hold to the same standards of care and communication that we hold our own team to.
We are also straightforward about what we do not know. On older homes in the Washington area, opening walls occasionally reveals conditions that were not visible during the initial assessment — outdated wiring, previous water damage that was patched rather than properly repaired, or framing modifications that were made without proper structural consideration. When we find these things, we document them, explain them clearly, and discuss the options with the homeowner before proceeding. We do not make decisions on your behalf without your knowledge.
Yes. We serve the full Washington area including the historic downtown neighborhood, established residential streets along the Route 24 corridor, newer subdivisions on the city’s north and east sides, and surrounding Tazewell County communities including Pekin, Morton, East Peoria, and beyond.

Kitchen remodeling and bathroom renovation are the most frequent projects we handle in Washington, often for homeowners in newer builds who are ready to move beyond the finishes that came with the home. Basement finishing and home additions are also common, particularly for families who have been in their homes for several years and are ready to maximize the full square footage of the property.
Newer homes in Washington often have open floor plan layouts that require careful structural assessment before any modifications, and builder-grade finishes throughout that homeowners want replaced with custom-level materials and installation. We assess the specific conditions of each home during the consultation and plan accordingly — including evaluating load-bearing walls before any layout changes are made and specifying materials that are genuinely suited to the space rather than the least expensive option that satisfies the scope.
Yes. For all projects requiring a building permit through the City of Washington, we manage the full permitting process — application submission, plan documentation, and inspection scheduling. You do not need to handle any part of that process on your own.
For larger projects like kitchen remodels, additions, or full basement finishes, planning two to three months ahead is advisable, particularly for spring and early summer project starts when scheduling is most competitive. Smaller scope projects — flooring, bathroom updates, drywall and painting — can often be accommodated on a shorter timeline. Reaching out early gives you the most flexibility in timing and allows for a more thorough planning process.
Washington consistently ranks among the stronger residential markets in Tazewell County in terms of home values and buyer demand. Homes here are purchased by families who are invested in the community for the long term, which means a well-executed remodel — particularly in the kitchen, primary bathroom, or through the addition of finished square footage — tends to perform well both in daily livability and in long-term resale value. We discuss the investment context of every project during the initial consultation so Washington homeowners can make decisions that make sense for their specific situation.
Washington homeowners invest in their community, their schools, and their homes. Grace Built Construction is ready to bring the same level of investment to your remodeling project — whether it is a kitchen overhaul, a primary bathroom transformation, a basement finish that finally makes use of that square footage, or an addition that gives your family the room it needs without leaving the neighborhood you have chosen.
