“AJ, Jorge and their team did a fantastic job transforming my rooftop! AJ was great in the planning phase at listening to my ideas, making additional suggestions and showing me examples of what could be done. They were able to design things to my exact specifications and were very detail oriented throughout the process. The majority of the project was completed in 5 weeks. AJ was always quick to respond to my inquiries, which made the process a breeze. I highly recommend JLV Builders for any project!”
More About Lincolnwood, Chicago
Lincolnwood, formerly known as Tessville, is a village in Cook County. It shares its southern, southeastern, and southwestern boundary with Chicago. It’s bordered by Niles to the west, Skokie to the north and northwest, and Evanston to the east. The original name Tessville, came from Johann Tess, a German farmer who purchased 30 acres of barren land in the area and immigrated with his family from Germany in 1856.
Despite its 2.5 square mile size, Lincolnwood, like many neighborhoods in Chicago, is an ethnically diverse suburb. Potawatomi originally settled the wooded area, but vacated the land after the Indian Bound-ary Treaty of 1816. As the area’s population grew, many taverns and saloons began to pop up in the area. During prohibition, Lincolnwood became known for its speakeasies and gambling facilities and maintained that reputation until the 30s when they passed liquor license laws. These changes, along with a formal name change to Lincolnwood, improved Tessville’s image significantly.
The area grew even more after the opening of the Edens Expressway in 1951. Now Lincolnwood has many of its own clubs and institutions, as well as a highly-educated populace.
