Grace Built Construction brings full-service residential remodeling to Peoria homeowners — honest pricing, quality materials, and craftsmanship built to hold up in one of central Illinois’s most varied and storied cities.
Peoria is unlike any other city in central Illinois. It is a city with genuine architectural range — grand older homes in the Moss-Bradley Historic District and along Reservoir Boulevard, mid-century ranches and split-levels spread across the North Side and Richwoods neighborhoods, postwar bungalows in established corridors closer to the river, and newer construction on the city’s far edges and in areas that have seen significant reinvestment over the past decade. The Illinois River defines the western edge of the city the way it has defined the region for centuries. The bluffs above it give Peoria neighborhoods a topographic character that most Illinois cities simply do not have.
That range of housing stock is also a range of remodeling challenges. An older home in the Moss-Bradley area requires a completely different approach than a newer build in a far North Side subdivision. A craftsman bungalow near Proctor Recreation Center carries original millwork and character worth preserving. A mid-century home off Knoxville Avenue may have systems and materials that need careful evaluation before walls are opened. A newer home in a planned development likely has builder-grade finishes throughout that are ready to be replaced with something that actually reflects how the homeowner wants to live.
Grace Built Construction works across all of it. We bring the same standards to Peoria that we bring to every community we serve — honest pricing, careful preparation, and finished work that holds up. We do not arrive with a one-size approach and fit your home into it. We assess what is actually there and build a plan that fits your specific home and your specific goals.
Grace Built Construction offers a full range of residential remodeling and construction services to homeowners throughout Peoria and the surrounding region. Every service is delivered with the same attention to planning, process, and finished quality regardless of neighborhood or project size.
Full kitchen renovations including custom cabinetry, countertop installation, layout reconfiguration, flooring, lighting, and fixture updates. We build Peoria kitchens that function the way your family actually uses them — whether you are in a compact riverfront bungalow or a spacious North Side home with room to reconfigure entirely.
Complete bathroom renovations from powder room refreshes to full primary bath overhauls. Walk-in tile showers, soaking tubs, custom vanities, heated tile floors, frameless glass enclosures, and all plumbing rough-in handled as part of a coordinated project.
Converting unfinished lower levels into livable, purposeful space. Family rooms, home theaters, home offices, guest suites, and home gyms — with egress windows, insulation, drywall, flooring, and lighting all included in scope.
New square footage designed to integrate with your existing home rather than read as an obvious addition. Single room builds, master suite expansions, in-law suites, and multi-room additions all managed from permitting through final walkthrough.
Hardwood, luxury vinyl plank, tile, and carpet installation with full subfloor preparation, removal of existing material, and all transitions and molding included. The right product for each room based on use, subfloor condition, and the character of the home.
Energy-efficient replacement windows and doors installed with proper flashing, sealing, and finished trim work. Single unit replacements through complete home updates.
Custom decks and patios in a range of materials — composite, cedar, pressure-treated lumber, pavers, and natural stone — designed for Peoria's outdoor living season and built to handle Illinois winters.
Built-ins, mudroom systems, custom closets, coffered ceilings, wainscoting, board and batten, and finish millwork. Particularly relevant for older Peoria homes where original millwork sets a standard that modern stock trim cannot match.
Siding replacement in fiber cement, vinyl, or engineered wood; soffit and fascia; seamless aluminum gutters; and exterior trim work handled as a complete system.
New drywall installation and repair, multi-coat finishing, texture matching, and interior painting with proper surface preparation throughout every phase.
Custom storage systems, epoxy and polyaspartic floor coatings, insulation and drywall, lighting upgrades, and full conversion projects for homeowners ready to repurpose underused space.
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.
Peoria is a city where homeowners have no shortage of contractor options. What is harder to find — in Peoria or anywhere else — is a contractor who prices work honestly, communicates throughout the project, and finishes to a standard that holds up in a home that has real value and real character. That is the gap Grace Built Construction fills.
Few cities in central Illinois present the variety of home ages, construction methods, and architectural styles that Peoria does. Older homes in established Peoria neighborhoods often have plaster walls, original millwork, non-standard window dimensions, and mechanical systems that require careful handling. Newer homes in planned developments have their own set of considerations — open floor plans that need structural assessment before modification, and builder finishes that homeowners are ready to replace with something better. We are equipped to work correctly in both, and we assess each home on its own terms.
Grace Built Construction is a residential remodeling company. We are not a commercial contractor who takes house jobs when the pipeline slows. Residential remodeling is what we do, and the level of detail, communication, and homeowner consideration that it requires is what we are built for.
In historic and established Peoria neighborhoods, the original details of a home are part of what makes it worth owning. Crown molding profiles, original hardwood flooring, plaster walls, and period millwork are things we work around and with — not through. We recommend approaches that update a home without erasing what gives it value.
In a city the size of Peoria, contractor competition creates pressure to quote low and find margin elsewhere. We do not operate that way. Our estimates are itemized and accurate, built on a real assessment of what the work involves. What we quote reflects what you pay.
Homeowners in Peoria who have managed remodeling projects before understand how quickly a contractor can become unreachable once the deposit is cashed. Grace Built maintains consistent communication from the first conversation through the final walkthrough and remains reachable after the project is complete.
Grace Built Construction has completed remodeling work throughout Peoria — in the historic neighborhoods along the bluffs, in established North Side and Richwoods homes, in mid-century properties near the Knoxville Avenue corridor, and in newer residential developments on the city’s outer edges.
Peoria is a city with high expectations for quality — in its institutions, its civic spaces, and the businesses that serve its residents. Grace Built Construction is committed to meeting those expectations on every project we take on here.
We are fully insured and operate in compliance with all applicable building codes and permitting requirements through the City of Peoria. We manage the full permitting and inspection process for every project that requires it, so homeowners never need to deal with Peoria’s municipal requirements on their own.
We work with a consistent crew and a vetted network of licensed subcontractors for specialized trades. Every person who enters a Peoria home on a Grace Built project is someone we have worked with, trust, and hold to the same standards we hold our own team to. When something unexpected comes up — and in Peoria’s older housing stock, it occasionally does — we handle it directly, transparently, and with the homeowner fully informed before we proceed.
Yes. We serve the full Peoria area including established historic neighborhoods, North Side and Richwoods communities, mid-century residential corridors, and newer developments on the city’s outer edges. We also serve surrounding communities including Pekin, East Peoria, Morton, Washington, and throughout the greater central Illinois region.
Call (309) 241-9593 or email gracebuilt329@gmail.com to schedule a free in-home consultation. We come to your Peoria home, assess the project in person, and provide a detailed itemized estimate at no charge and with no obligation to move forward.
Yes, and it is a meaningful part of our work in this area. Older Peoria homes — particularly those in established neighborhoods near the bluffs and the Moss-Bradley Historic District — require specific knowledge around plaster wall systems, original millwork preservation, non-standard window and door dimensions, and older mechanical configurations. We assess these conditions as a standard part of our project planning process and address them correctly rather than working around them carelessly.
Yes. For all projects requiring a building permit through the City of Peoria, we manage the application, documentation, and inspection coordination as part of our standard project process. You do not need to handle any part of that on your own.
Kitchen remodeling and bathroom renovation are consistently our most common project types in Peoria, followed closely by basement finishing and home additions. In older Peoria neighborhoods, exterior remodeling — siding, soffit, fascia, and gutters — is also a frequent project type as the housing stock in these areas reaches the age where exterior systems need complete updating.
Every project we take on in an occupied home is planned with disruption minimization as a priority. We sequence work to maintain access to critical areas of the home, contain dust and debris to the work zone, clean up at the end of each workday, and communicate the schedule clearly so there are no surprises. For projects like bathroom renovations where a household may have limited bathroom access, we discuss sequencing options during the planning phase.
The right investment depends on the specific home and neighborhood. In established Peoria neighborhoods with strong resale markets, kitchen and bathroom remodeling consistently perform well both in livability improvement and value return. In homes with significant unfinished basement square footage, finishing that level often showcases the highest value per dollar of remodeling spend. We discuss the investment context of every project during the initial consultation.
Whether your Peoria home is a historic craftsman that deserves to be treated accordingly, a mid-century property ready for a modern update, or a newer build that is ready to move past builder-grade finishes, Grace Built Construction is ready to help you get there. We serve Peoria and the surrounding central Illinois region with honest estimates, experienced craftsmanship, and a process designed to make remodeling feel manageable.
