Most Belmont Gardens kitchens we work on are in 1920s brick bungalows, two-flats, and frame cottages where the kitchen sits small and closed off at the back. The most common project is opening it to the dining and living space and rebuilding for storage and modern flow.
Yes — kitchen remodels that touch plumbing, electrical, or structure need a permit from the Chicago Department of Buildings at 121 N. LaSalle Street. Chicago’s review runs slower than the suburbs, and we handle the application and inspections.
Usually yes, but in these brick bungalows that wall is often load-bearing. We confirm the structure and engineer a properly sized beam before anything comes down.
Yes. We do a lot of work in Belmont Gardens two-flats and can remodel a single unit while the other stays livable. We coordinate water and electrical shutoffs so tenants aren’t disrupted more than necessary.
Most Belmont Gardens kitchen remodels run between roughly $28,000 and $65,000 depending on cabinets, layout changes, and whether we’re moving plumbing or walls. We give you a fixed, itemized number before any work starts.
A lot of these 1920s homes still have knob-and-tube wiring or galvanized supply lines behind the kitchen wall. When we open things up we show you what’s there and tell you straight what’s worth updating while the walls are open.
Plan on about 6 to 10 weeks of construction, plus design and Chicago permitting, which runs longer than the suburbs. Older bungalows can add time if we find outdated wiring or plumbing, and we flag that early.
Yes — the closed-off original kitchens in Belmont Gardens bungalows and two-flats feel dated to buyers and renters. A well-built, open kitchen that respects the home’s character both helps it sell and makes daily life better.
