Our Appreciation for Wilmette
Our Appreciation for Wilmette
A Village of Heritage, Lakefront Living, and Family Appeal
Wilmette is one of the North Shore’s most cherished communities, combining lakefront beauty, architectural variety, and family-friendly charm. From Gillson Park and Beach to the iconic Baháʼí House of Worship, Wilmette offers a lifestyle that balances recreation, culture, and community.
Architecturally, Wilmette is home to historic Colonials, Tudors, and Victorians as well as modern custom builds and lakeside estates. Preserving and enhancing these homes requires roofing solutions that are both technically excellent and aesthetically aligned with the property’s style.
At Wolf Development, we value Wilmette’s rich architectural fabric. Slate and cedar shake remain popular choices for historic neighborhoods, while Brava and DaVinci synthetics provide durable, low-maintenance options for newer homes. Whether working on a classic Sheridan Road residence or a family home near downtown, we bring the same level of craftsmanship, respect, and personal accountability.
