Your Home Remodeling Contractor in Chicago, Illinois
Chicago’s housing runs from 1920s brick bungalows and greystones to two-flats and frame Victorians, and most were built with kitchens small and closed off at the back. Opening them up and modernizing them is most of what we do across the city.
Navigating Chicago Permits
Kitchen remodels in Chicago that touch plumbing, electrical, or structure need a permit from the Chicago Department of Buildings at 121 N. LaSalle Street. We handle the application and the slower city review for you.
Working With Vintage Layouts
Chicago bungalows, greystones, and two-flats have compact, walled-off kitchens typical of early-1900s construction. We open them to the dining and living space while respecting the masonry structure and original character.

Frequently Asked Questions
What kinds of kitchens do you remodel most in Chicago?
We remodel kitchens across Chicago’s housing stock — 1920s brick bungalows, greystones, two-flats, and frame homes — 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.
Do I need a permit to remodel my kitchen in Chicago?
Yes — kitchen remodels that touch plumbing, electrical, or structure need a permit from the Chicago Department of Buildings at 121 N. LaSalle Street. City review runs slower than the suburbs, and we handle the application and inspections.
Can I open the wall between my kitchen and dining room in a Chicago bungalow or greystone?
Often yes, but in bungalows, greystones, and two-flats that wall is usually load-bearing masonry. We confirm the structure and engineer a properly sized beam before anything comes down.
I own a Chicago two-flat — can you remodel just one unit’s kitchen?
Yes. We do a lot of work in Chicago two- and three-flats and can remodel a single unit while the others stay livable. We coordinate water and electrical shutoffs so tenants aren’t disrupted more than necessary.
How much does a kitchen remodel cost in Chicago?
Most Chicago kitchen remodels run between roughly $30,000 and $70,000 depending on cabinets, layout changes, and whether we’re moving plumbing or walls. We give you a fixed, itemized number before any work starts.
My Chicago home still has original plumbing and wiring — what should I expect?
A lot of century-old Chicago 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.
How long does a kitchen remodel take in Chicago?
Plan on about 6 to 10 weeks of construction, plus design and Chicago permitting, which runs longer than the suburbs. Older homes can add time if we find outdated wiring or plumbing, and we flag that early.
Will a kitchen remodel add value to my Chicago home?
Yes — the closed-off original kitchens in Chicago’s vintage housing feel dated to buyers. A well-built, open kitchen that respects the home’s character both helps it sell and makes daily life better.
