Riverwoods lots hold water and shade. That shows up as sump pumps that never rest, condensers choked with leaf debris and outages when a limb comes down.
Mid-century architecture with modern loads, on properties where drainage and power are the real story.
Sump and battery backupIf the primary pump is the only thing between the lower level and a wet spring, the house is one power failure from a claim.
Condenser smothered by landscapingShade is nice, a coil packed with leaf litter is not. It reads as low refrigerant and gets misdiagnosed constantly.
Ducting in mid-century homesFlat roofs and open plans came with duct layouts that fight you. Sometimes a mini-split solves in a day what a redesign could not.
Storm outagesBackup power, surge protection and a panel with room for it.
How we work here
Mid-century houses, modern loads.
Adding a kitchen, an office and two EVs to a 1962 electrical service is where most Riverwoods projects actually begin. We start with what the service can carry.
