Custom Home Builder & Remodeling in Wayne, IL
Derrico Builders works with homeowners throughout Wayne on custom homes, significant additions, whole-home renovations, kitchens, basements and exterior construction.
With distinctive homes and properties throughout the area, projects in Wayne often call for more than simply adding space or updating finishes. The architecture of the existing home, the property itself and the way new construction fits into both should be considered together.
Our approach starts by understanding what you want to accomplish, establishing a thoughtful plan and budget, and staying closely involved from the early design stages through construction and the final walkthrough.
Building & Remodeling in Wayne
A successful project starts with understanding both the home and the property.
The Village of Wayne requires building permits for many common residential improvements, including room additions, finished basements, kitchen and bathroom remodeling, and certain electrical and plumbing work. For additions, the planning process may also involve a plat of survey, architectural plans and, depending on the project, grading or landscape information.
For homeowners considering a custom home, significant addition or major renovation, looking at those requirements early can help identify constraints and opportunities before too much time and money have been invested in a design.
That’s one reason we believe the builder should be part of the conversation early. Construction experience, property considerations, design and budget are better addressed together than sequentially.
What Should You Look for in a Wayne Builder?
For a custom home or major renovation, the right builder should understand both the details of the finished home and the decisions required to get there.
Important questions include:
- How will new construction complement the architecture and character of the existing home?
- Have the property, survey and site considerations been evaluated early?
- Is the budget accounting for the complete scope of construction?
- How will an addition connect functionally with the existing floor plan?
- Who will coordinate the architect, homeowner and construction team?
- Will the builder remain personally involved from planning through completion?
Derrico Builders brings construction experience into the process early, helping homeowners understand tradeoffs, anticipate challenges and make informed decisions before construction begins.
Custom Homes in Wayne
Building a custom home gives you the opportunity to design around both the way you want to live and the property you’ve chosen.
Derrico Builders can be involved from early planning and architecture through budgeting, construction and the final walkthrough.
We look at the home as a whole - how it sits on the property, how rooms connect, how indoor and outdoor spaces relate, and how architecture, functionality and finishes come together.
Bringing construction expertise into those conversations early helps connect the design vision with the realities of building it.

Major Remodels & Home Additions
For homeowners who already love their property and location, a significant addition or renovation can be an alternative to starting over somewhere else.
We help Wayne homeowners add living space, rethink floor plans, expand kitchens and gathering areas, add floors, alter roof lines and undertake broader whole-home renovations.
With an existing home, the details matter. Proportion, materials, roof lines, interior transitions and functionality all play a role in whether the new construction feels like it has always belonged there.
The goal is not simply more square footage. It’s a home that works better while retaining the qualities that made it worth investing in.
Kitchen Remodeling
A great kitchen should work as well as it looks.
Our kitchen projects can range from completely rebuilding an existing space to expanding or reconfiguring the surrounding rooms.
We consider layout, movement, storage, cabinetry, lighting, surfaces and architectural details together so the finished kitchen feels cohesive rather than assembled one piece at a time.

Bathrooms, Basements & Interior Renovations
Derrico Builders also remodels bathrooms, basements, closets and other interior spaces throughout the home.
Whether you’re creating a primary bathroom retreat, turning an unfinished basement into usable living space or adding custom details throughout your home, we approach the work with the same attention to planning, functionality and craftsmanship.
A Better Building Process
We believe good construction starts with clarity.
Our approach is built around three things:
A comprehensive budget from the beginning
We work to establish a realistic picture of the project early, so design decisions can be made with the budget in mind.
Clear, organized project management
Good communication and a structured process help keep construction moving and minimize surprises.
Hands-on involvement from start to finish
We stay involved throughout the project, not simply once construction begins.
That means helping homeowners think through decisions, solve problems and keep the original vision intact as the project moves forward.
