About us

I've been in business in Chicago for 40 years, completing projects in Illinois, Wisconsin, and Michigan. No job is too small: I've done bathroom renovations and dormer additions. I've also done complete custom homes as well as large and small additions. Last year I completed an addition in Wheaton, a complete residential renovation in Glen Ellyn, a wall repair project for a telecom company near Green Bay, WI, and other projects. Your project is the most important project to me!

When we decided to add on to the back of our 1929 home, we wanted to find an Architect who would be sensitive to the style of our home. We are very glad we chose David Schmitt! David did a beautiful job designing an addition that didn’t look like an addition. He was easy to work with, and gave us a home that functions beautifully. We’d definitely work with David again!

We're very pleased with both the process and outcome of the addition David designed for us. Our brick and stone house was built in 1927, and the challenge was to build something that looked as if it had always been a part (inside and out) of the original structure. What he designed achieved a seamless addition that greatly enhanced the curb appeal and function of our home. David's guidance in the choice of a builder and with other factors related to the project was invaluable. He's a great communicator and a skilled architect. Strongly recommend!

David did an incredible job designing our custom dream home. His kindness and professionalism is second to none. He was able to take our wishlist and create a home that is not only beautiful but works for our family. David went above and beyond to ensure our project was approved with our city’s appearance commission. He communicates quickly and always had the right answer to any question or concern that came along the way. In addition, he worked very well with our builder which helped the project to proceed smoothly and efficiently. We strongly recommend David for any project you’ve dreaming of.
