About Us

KBR Development is a Skokie, IL residential general contractor serving the North Shore suburbs, specializing in kitchen remodeling, bathroom renovations, basement finishing, and full interior remodels. We manage projects from initial evaluation through final completion, coordinating all phases of construction to deliver durable, well-built spaces.

With over 24 years of hands-on construction experience, we focus on full-scale renovations, layout reconfiguration, and the proper integration of mechanical, plumbing, and electrical systems. Every project is executed with a system-based approach that prioritizes long-term durability, proper assembly, and clean, functional design.

KBR Development proudly serves Chicago’s North Shore suburbs.

We work with homeowners across Chicago’s North Shore—including communities like Winnetka, Glencoe, Highland Park, and Lake Forest—who value clear communication and professional execution, and who understand that successful renovations require thoughtful planning, organization, and informed decision-making. KBR Development is a licensed general contractor, and every project begins with a paid project consultation—either on-site or in our design center—to assess goals, design direction, budget, scope of work, and existing conditions. From start to finish, we believe project success is driven by communication, organization, professionalism, and precise execution.

Testimonials

Jake immediately understood how I needed the space to function for my business and brought thoughtful, creative ideas that I never would have considered on my own – many of which turned out even better than expected.

Our building in Logan Square is over 100 years old, and when we ran into an unexpected issue during the renovation, Jake diagnosed the problem quickly and clearly explained the additional work and costs before moving forward. His communication throughout the project was transparent and professional, which made a huge difference.

Now that the project is complete, I’m thrilled with the customized renovation and how well the space works day-to-day. If you’re looking for a reliable Chicago contractor who knows how to handle older buildings and delivers high-quality work, I would absolutely recommend Jake.

Jake and his highly professional team completely transformed my kitchen, all the while maintaining the structural integrity of the existing space. I received helpful and smart input on every aspect of the plan. They were fair, honest, and thoughtful. A full kitchen renovation is always hard to live through so I truly appreciated the commitment to quick turnaround, without sacrificing quality and craftsmanship. You won’t regret working with KBR development!
