Grace Built Construction brings full-service residential remodeling to Morton homeowners — honest pricing, quality materials, and craftsmanship that reflects the pride this community takes in its homes.
Morton has a reputation in central Illinois that is well earned. It is consistently one of the most well-maintained communities in Tazewell County — clean streets, kept yards, and homes that reflect the care of the people who live in them. The school district draws families who are putting down roots. The neighborhoods around the Morton Civic Center, along the Route 150 corridor, and spreading out toward the I-74 interchange are filled with homeowners who take their properties seriously and expect the same from the people they hire to work on them.
That expectation matters to Grace Built Construction. When we work in Morton, we are working in a community where the standard of how homes look and function is high — and we build to that standard. We do not arrive with shortcuts and leave with a check. We assess what your home actually needs, price it honestly, and execute it with the kind of care that a Morton homeowner should be able to expect from a contractor.
Morton’s housing stock is distinct from much of the surrounding area. The city has a higher proportion of newer construction compared to older Tazewell County communities, but it also has established neighborhoods with mid-century and older homes that carry real character and require experienced hands when it comes time to update them. Newer homes in Morton often need updates that builder-grade finishes simply cannot satisfy — homeowners who have been in their homes for ten or fifteen years and are ready for a kitchen or bathroom that actually reflects how they want to live. Older Morton homes carry good bones and deserve remodeling work that honors the structure rather than cutting through it carelessly.
Grace Built Construction works across both. We serve Morton homeowners in newer subdivisions who want custom-level finishes and Morton homeowners in established neighborhoods who want their homes updated without losing the character that made them worth buying in the first place.
Grace Built Construction offers a full range of residential remodeling and construction services to homeowners throughout Morton and the surrounding Tazewell County area. Every service is delivered with the same attention to preparation, process, and finished quality.
Cabinet replacement, countertop installation, layout reconfiguration, flooring, lighting, and fixture updates. We design and build Morton kitchens that function the way your family actually uses them — not the way a builder decided they should twelve years ago.
Complete bathroom renovations from powder room refreshes to full primary bath overhauls. Tile showers, soaking tubs, custom vanities, heated floors, frameless glass enclosures, and all plumbing rough-in handled as part of a single coordinated project.
Converting unfinished basement square footage into livable, purposeful space. Family rooms, home offices, playrooms, home gyms, and guest suites — with egress windows, insulation, drywall, flooring, and lighting all included in the scope.
New square footage designed to integrate with your existing home rather than read as an obvious add-on. Single room additions, master suite expansions, in-law suites, and larger multi-room builds all handled from permitting through final walkthrough.
Hardwood, luxury vinyl plank, tile, and carpet installation with full subfloor preparation and all transitions and molding included. The right product for each room based on how the space is used, not just what is easiest to install.
Energy-efficient replacement windows and entry and patio doors installed with proper flashing, sealing, and trim work throughout. Single unit replacements through complete home updates.
Custom decks in composite, cedar, or pressure-treated lumber and patios in pavers, concrete, or natural stone. Designed for Morton's outdoor living season and built to handle Illinois winters without deteriorating.
Built-in bookshelves, entertainment centers, mudroom systems, custom closets, coffered ceilings, wainscoting, and finish millwork. Built to the exact dimensions of your space, not adapted from a standard size.
Fiber cement, vinyl, or engineered wood siding replacement; soffit and fascia; seamless aluminum gutters; and exterior trim work handled as a coordinated system rather than piecemeal repairs.
New drywall installation and repair, multi-coat finishing, texture matching, and interior painting with proper surface preparation at every stage.
Custom storage systems, polyaspartic and epoxy floor coatings, insulation and drywall, lighting upgrades, and full garage conversion projects for homeowners who want to turn underutilized space into something that actually works.
Grace Built Construction proudly serves homeowners in Pekin, East Peoria, Morton, Washington, Peoria, Tremont, Creve Coeur, and throughout Tazewell County and Central Illinois. If you are located in our service area and need help with a remodeling or restoration project, we are ready to help.
Morton homeowners are discerning about who they hire. Word travels in a community this size, and a contractor who does poor work or handles a project unprofessionally does not stay busy here long. Grace Built Construction has built its presence in Morton the same way it has built it everywhere else we work — by doing what we say we are going to do, pricing it honestly, and building things to a standard that holds up.
Some contractors based closer to Peoria treat communities like Morton as overflow work — jobs they take when their primary market slows down, staffed with whoever is available. That is not how Grace Built operates. Morton homeowners get the same crew, the same standards, and the same level of project management attention as every other community we serve.
Grace Built is not a large commercial contractor who takes residential jobs on the side. Residential remodeling is what we do — and it shows in how we plan projects, how we communicate with homeowners, and how we handle the specific challenges that come with working in occupied homes rather than empty commercial spaces.
Homes in Morton hold their value well compared to much of the surrounding area. When a Morton homeowner remodels a kitchen or adds square footage, they are protecting and building on an investment that is already performing. We take that seriously — the quality of materials we specify and the standard of installation we hold ourselves to reflect the value of the homes we are working in.
Morton homeowners who have worked with contractors who quote attractively and find reasons to add cost mid-project understand why this matters. Our estimates are itemized and accurate. We do not use round numbers that hide how the cost is actually broken down, and we do not adjust the number once you have committed unless something genuinely unforeseen comes up — and if it does, we discuss it with you immediately.
Punch list items, final trim details, touch-up painting, hardware installation — these are the things that separate a finished project from one that trails off at the end. We walk through every detail of the completed work with you before we close out any job.
Grace Built Construction has completed remodeling work throughout Morton — in established neighborhoods near Morton High School, in newer subdivisions off Illinois Route 150, in homes tucked along the quieter residential streets on the north side of the city, and in properties closer to the Tazewell County line.
In a community like Morton, reputation is currency. Homeowners talk to neighbors, ask around before hiring, and notice when a contractor’s work holds up — or does not. Grace Built Construction has built its reputation in Morton the old-fashioned way: by consistently delivering on what we promise and standing behind the work after the project is complete.
We are fully insured and operate in compliance with applicable building codes and permitting requirements. For projects requiring permits through the Village of Morton, we manage the full application and inspection coordination process so homeowners never have to deal with municipal requirements on their own.
We work with a consistent crew and bring in licensed subcontractors for specialized trades — electrical, plumbing, and HVAC — who are held to the same standard of care and communication that we hold our own team to. Every person who comes through your door on a Grace Built project is someone we vouch for.
Our communication throughout a project is direct and consistent. We keep Morton homeowners informed about what is happening, when the next phase begins, and what to expect as the project moves forward. We do not go quiet mid-project and expect homeowners to chase us down for updates. That is not how we operate, and it is not the standard Morton homeowners should have to accept.
Yes. We serve the full Morton area including established neighborhoods near the civic center and high school, newer subdivisions along the Route 150 corridor, and residential streets throughout the city. We also serve surrounding Tazewell County communities including Pekin, East Peoria, Washington, and beyond.

Newer Morton homes often have open floor plan layouts that require careful structural assessment before any wall modifications, and builder-grade mechanical systems that benefit from upgrading when walls are already open during a remodel. Older Morton homes, particularly those built before 1975, may have original electrical configurations and plaster wall systems that require experienced handling. We assess these conditions as a standard part of our project planning process.
Yes. For all projects requiring a building permit through the Village of Morton, we manage the full permitting process — application, plan documentation, and inspection scheduling — as part of our standard project management. You do not need to handle that on your own.
Kitchen remodeling and bathroom renovation are the most frequent project types we handle in Morton, often for homeowners in newer builds who are ready to move beyond builder-grade finishes. Basement finishing is also highly common, as Morton has a significant number of homes with unfinished lower levels that represent substantial untapped living space.
Every project is individually scoped and estimated based on what the specific work actually involves — materials, labor, permits, and any subcontracted trades. We do not use generic square footage pricing that does not reflect the real cost of the project. Our estimates are itemized so Morton homeowners know exactly what they are paying for and why.
Given the strong property values in Morton relative to the surrounding area, kitchen and bathroom remodeling tend to offer the best combination of livability improvement and value protection. A well-executed kitchen remodel in a Morton home can return a significant portion of its cost in added resale value while improving daily quality of life for as long as you stay. Basement finishing is also a strong investment given how much usable square footage it adds relative to the cost per finished square foot.
Morton homeowners expect quality — in the community they live in and in the people they hire to work on their homes. Grace Built Construction is ready to meet that standard on your project, whether it is a kitchen that needs a complete overhaul, a basement that has been waiting for years, or an addition that gives your family the room it needs without leaving the neighborhood you have invested in.
