Gunderson (Historic Preservation Award)

Montero Renovations received the Historic Preservation Award for its exceptional restoration work at 282 S Gunderson in Oak Park, a village nationally recognized for its commitment to architectural conservation and its large inventory of historic homes. The project demonstrated outstanding craftsmanship, period‑accurate detailing, and a deep respect for the home’s original character—qualities that align with Oak Park’s preservation standards, which emphasize maintaining historic integrity while ensuring long‑term structural stability. By carefully restoring original features, reinforcing aging structural elements, and revitalizing the property with historically appropriate materials, Montero Renovations delivered a project that not only preserved a piece of Oak Park’s architectural heritage but also met the rigorous criteria used by local preservation committees to honor excellence in historic rehabilitation. This award highlights the company’s dedication to protecting the cultural and architectural legacy of the Chicagoland area.
