Modern Ranch Revival in Cress Creek: A Naperville Classic Reimagined
What started as a “move-in ready” home quickly turned into an opportunity to make this sprawling Cress Creek ranch truly one-of-a-kind. With a tight four-month timeline, our design and construction teams went to work transforming the space to match our clients’ vision. The renovation included two fully updated bathrooms, a complete kitchen overhaul, new flooring throughout, and the addition of a stylish half bath. We also gave the exterior a fresh new look, elevating the curb appeal to match the interior transformation. From design to final walkthrough, this project was all about collaboration, precision, and timing—and the end result is a modern, comfortable home perfectly tailored to our clients’ lifestyle.

Ranches in Cress Creek are some of the most sought-after homes in Naperville—especially for families looking to bring loved ones closer while keeping everything on one accessible main level. These homes have incredible bones, but many are showing their age and need a modern touch to match today’s lifestyles.
That’s where SG Home Builders comes in. We understand what our neighbors are looking for in these homes—where it makes sense to invest, what design details make the biggest impact, and how to blend comfort with long-term value.
This renovation was a perfect example of that philosophy: respecting the timeless charm of a classic Cress Creek ranch while updating every detail to create a modern, functional home ready for its next chapter.
Key Features:
- Open layout
- Classic stone fireplace
- Open wall set up for kitchen/great room
- Additional powder bathroom
- Stone accent front elevation
Timeline:
4 Months of Construction
1.5 Months of Planning
Location:
Naperville, Il

It’s always difficult to say no—especially when timelines are tight. From a builder’s perspective, any timeline can be hit if everyone is aligned and committed. And like any project, we wanted to do everything possible to meet our clients’ needs and deliver on their expectations.
This job was no different. Our design team took the bull by the horns, working quickly to meet the clients’ wish list while adding creative touches that elevated the overall plan. When it came time to break ground, our construction team moved fast and stayed focused, ensuring the project stayed on track.
Moving is stressful. Renovating is stressful. Doing both at the same time? That’s next-level. But with clear communication, teamwork, and trust, we made it happen—and we couldn’t be happier to welcome our clients as new neighbors in Cress Creek.
Coming Soon.

After 45 years in our 2-srory house, we were looking for a ranch home in the western suburbs. During our search, we met Ryan, found a lot, and never... read more spoke to another builder. While the process took longer than we ever imagined, we were fortunate to be working with SG Builders. We always got a response and answers, even if they weren't the answers we hoped for. Ryan and Greg care about their clients, and thought of improvements and made suggestions that we never considered, but added to the safety and beauty of our home. As an accountant, I was pleased with the detail and billing process that Ryan used. It was easy to follow the progress of work and costs with his method. Throughout the process, I always heard back from Ryan or Greg in a timely manner. There is nothing worse than not getting a response - and we always got a response from SG Builders. We would highly recommend SG Builders for any project, and if we ever decide to finish our basement, we will make only one phone call.
