The People Behind Your Remodel
You will know who is working on your home. Here is who you will talk to.
Ted Ward
Owner
Ted Ward founded Ward Winning Homes in 2016 with one belief: homeowners deserve a remodeling experience built on precision, trust, detailed planning, and the one thing the construction industry too often lacks: clear, consistent communication.
His standards were forged long before construction. Ted's early career took him to luxury hotels and resorts nationwide, including Chicago, Scottsdale, Sedona and San Diego, managing high-end audiovisual installations for live events. Every system had to be coordinated across trades on tight timelines, and it all had to work the moment the doors opened.
He brought that discipline into remodeling, eventually overseeing general contractors for a Fortune 500 company and managing full project scopes, client relationships and material selections.
At Ward Winning Homes, that standard shows up in a structured pre-construction process, with design, selections, exact pricing and a clear plan all locked in before construction begins.
Ted lives in Arlington Heights, where his daughters go to school and where he sees homes his team has transformed on nearly every block. Working in his own community is a responsibility he takes seriously.
Ten years in, Ward Winning Homes has earned 92+ five-star reviews serving the northwest suburbs of Chicago.
Miranda Savage
Interior Designer

Peter Pakula
Project Manager
With more than 20 years in construction, Peter has learned that a great renovation comes down to two things: quality work and clear communication. He manages every project from the first walkthrough to the final punch list. He coordinates our trades, keeps you updated every step of the way and makes sure every detail meets our standards. To Peter, your home isn't just another job site. It's a place where you'll make memories, and he treats it that way.
When he's not on a project, Peter enjoys time on the water with his family and building LEGO, a hobby that rewards the same patience and precision he brings to every home.
