Tom Vespa (right) owns and operates Legacy Group. He has more than 30 years of experience in construction and has built more than 300 homes across Chicagoland.

You could say that construction is in his blood. In fact, it runs in his family.

Owner of Legacy Group, Tom Vespa, has been around residential construction since he was a young boy. Tom’s grandfather, Joe, was a local developer, builder and real estate agent who had him sweeping construction sites and pounding nails at an early age.

Today, 30+ years later and with more than 500 homes built across Indiana and Illinois, Tom has carried on the traditions, values, ethics and ideals of the family legacy. The company’s reputation has been built upon his ability to deliver beautifully designed communities to municipalities as well as quality constructed homes to clients.

The primary goal is exceeding client expectations in all aspects of the construction process. The team at Legacy Group understands all of the stages that a home goes through during construction and will ensure clients get nothing but the highest quality and outstanding value. It is Legacy Group’s hands-on commitment to each project and personalized attention to detail that ensure clients get the custom homes of their dreams.

Tom remodeled our kitchen and I just can’t say enough about his work! Legacy Group took two closed spaces and turned them into an open concept living and kitchen area. Today, we use the space 100% more than we ever did before. It completely changed our lives! We spend great quality time in our new open space. Tom also has great design ideas and we loved what he did with our cabinetry. Tom was on-site all of the time and actually did a good deal of the work himself. He worked right along with his crew, helping to get them prepped for the day and cleaning up at the end of the day, which made the work quick and efficient. I had definite ideas of what I wanted and Tom was very patient with me. When our cabinets came in, Tom checked every single piece and didn’t let the driver go until he checked the entire order. Good thing he did because there was a missing cabinet that would have cost us $1,000 to replace. We are so pleased that we recommend Legacy Group to all of our friends and family!

We have been in our dream home for six months thanks to Legacy Group. From the moment we met Tom, we knew Legacy Group was the builder for us. Working with the team to configure our ideal floor plan resulted in the perfect home for us! The entire team was extremely helpful in helping us to create our own unique home. If something needed to be changed, Tom came through for us. Building a house can be stressful, but reassurance was just a phone call away. We highly recommend Legacy Group!

The Smith Family

Our home is PERFECT because it was built by Legacy Group specifically for our family. We had tried to work with a couple of builders before this and were experiencing what we consider cookie-cutter construction. We had looked at so many layouts but none fit our needs perfectly. To make matters worse, we also felt like the building materials were below the quality grade that we wanted. We were pretty frustrated by the time we met Tom at Legacy Group. Tom and his team walked us through the entire process and helped us design our perfect home. We have never been this excited to move, ever! Thanks to the entire Legacy team for making the process of building our home a fun one with many great memories. Legacy Group, we sing your praises to anyone who will listen!

My wife and I had looked at builders for several years before seeing an ad for Legacy Group in a local parade of homes show. We are extremely picky people and had been disappointed in the past but decided to give it one more shot. So, we took a ride to visit the home that Legacy was showcasing. Immediately we could tell we were working with individuals who care deeply about high quality and understand the value of long-term relationships. Every step of the way was fun and exciting thanks to Tom and his crew. We made adjustments along the way and never heard one complaint. We didn’t feel any stress during this process thanks to the Legacy team. Our family would never consider building with anyone else!

I thoroughly enjoyed my experience with Legacy Group. I had my bathroom remodeled and a deck built onto my house and for both jobs, Tom was on the job every day. I haven’t worked with many contractors but I do know that it is rare that you get the owner of the company on the job every day, working right alongside his crew. Tom has GREAT attention to detail and a great eye. He doesn’t cut corners and always follows through with what he says he’s going to do. What a wonderful experience! I highly recommend Tom and Legacy Group.

Legacy Group remodeled our bathroom and did such a great job that we brought them back to do a complete remodel of our kitchen. For our kitchen project, Tom assessed the situation, offered us some great ideas, put together a plan for us and completed the work while we were away on vacation! We trust him and his team THAT much. What a wonderful treat to come home from vacation to a BEAUTIFUL new kitchen. Tom is very professional in his approach and is absolutely meticulous. He makes sure everything gets done right the first time. And, we really love his design ideas. We highly recommend Legacy Group and hope to work with Tom again in the future.

Tom and his team remodeled our kitchen, family room and living room a little over a year ago and I have to say that we enjoyed every minute of it! I know that’s not what you hear often about contractors but that’s how good Tom and his team were to work with. Tom has great attention to detail and great taste. He does what he says he’s going to do, offers great input and has great ideas. I trust him completely and would recommend him to anyone. As a matter of fact, I recommended him to my Mom, who is a notoriously tough customer and she loved his work as well! I hope to work with Tom and Legacy Group again in the future!
