City Facts for Alton, IL

A great place to live, work, and raise a family, Alton, located just 25 miles north of St. Louis, MO, is steeped in history and has a wealth of recreational and business opportunities. For a relatively small (30,000 residents) community, Alton’s had a very interesting past. It’s where Abraham Lincoln and Stephen Douglas held their last debate; it’s the birthplace of legendary jazz master, Miles Davis; and it’s considered one of the top haunted communities in the U.S.

Today, Alton is home to two historic districts: The Middletown Historic District, with its Federal, Italianate and Queen Anne style homes; and the Upper Alton Historic District where Shurtleff College (now Southern Illinois University School of Dental Medicine) and the surrounding homes were designed in the Classical Revival, Greek Revival and Queen Anne Style. Visitors and residents alike can hit the open road of the Meeting of the Great Rivers Scenic Byway to take in the area’s natural beauty.
Outdoor sporting is hugely popular, with plenty of canoeing, kayaking, boating, and fishing adventures. There are numerous hiking and biking trails, and the area boasts some of St. Louis’ best golf courses. There’s also no shortage of cultural events.

A majority of home remodeling projects done by homeowners are kitchen and bath upgrades. They’re also two of the best investments you can make in your home, even if you’re not thinking about selling.

Kitchens

Your home’s kitchen is so much more than a place to simply prepare meals. There’s a reason it’s often called the heart of the home: it’s where family and friend congregate to celebrate many of life’s big and small achievements.

Your kitchen tells a story and often sets the tone for the entire house. It’s the only room in your home where you can simultaneously cook, bake, enjoy family activities, and bond over life’s little pleasures. An inefficient or outdated kitchen is often crowded and lacking modern amenities. An update not only improves traffic flow and the overall appeal of the kitchen, it also increases your home’s value.

Bathrooms

The basics of bathrooms haven’t changed much over the last century, but fixtures, furnishings, colors, and designs have! Older homes in particular are wonderful windows into the evolution of the residential bathroom. Once-all-the-rage but now hideous paint colors, metallic wallpapers, and rust-stained porcelain tubs and sinks are a testament to the ever-changing tastes of the American homeowner.

Remodeling your home’s outdated bathroom can add significant value to your home, not to mention plenty of personal enjoyment for the entire family. With all the time that’s spent in the bathroom over a lifetime, why wouldn't you want a bathroom remodel that you can enjoy every day?

We had our kitchen completely remodeled this summer. The team we used at J. T McDermott was excellent in every respect. Their attention to detail and craftsmanship was outstanding. We worked with their designer and estimator over 2 months before we decided on the project or committed any funds. We liked this approach. They wanted to be sure we were happy with the design before they began. As a result, the project involved few change orders. We knew we had a structural problem with the kitchen floor and wanted it fixed. They designed a fix and executed it with ease. J. T. McDermott is a company that have people that do what they say when they say. They communicated well with us during and post construction. We highly recommend them. They will be very high on our list when we have another major project.
