Your Home Remodeling Contractor in Portage Park, Chicago, Illinois
Portage Park sits in the heart of Chicago’s Bungalow Belt, and most of its kitchens are in the brick Chicago bungalows and two-flats that streetcar lines along Milwaukee Avenue and Irving Park Road filled in during the 1910s and 1920s. These kitchens were built small and walled off at the back of the home. We open and modernize Portage Park kitchens while respecting the bungalow’s craftsmanship, and we pull permits from the Chicago Department of Buildings.
Classic Bungalow Kitchens
Portage Park's 1920s brick bungalows have compact, closed kitchens at the rear. We open them to the dining room while keeping the bungalow's built-ins and trim character.
Two-Flats & Georgians
Many Portage Park blocks mix bungalows with brick two-flats and Georgians. We tailor each kitchen remodel to the building type and any owner-occupied unit rules.
Chicago Department of Buildings Permits
Kitchen work that moves walls, plumbing, or electrical pulls a permit from the Chicago Department of Buildings. We handle the city's permit and inspection process.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a permit for a kitchen remodel in Portage Park?
Yes. In Portage Park, any kitchen project that involves structural changes, new electrical circuits, or moved plumbing requires a permit from the Chicago Department of Buildings. Cosmetic updates usually don’t. We pull and manage the city permits, which can take longer than suburban towns, so we plan for it.
How much does a kitchen remodel cost in Portage Park?
Most Portage Park kitchen remodels run from about $30,000 for a mid-range bungalow kitchen to $80,000 for a full open-concept renovation. Opening up a load-bearing bungalow wall adds cost. We give you a fixed, line-item budget after design.
How do I know if a wall in my Portage Park kitchen is load-bearing?
In Chicago bungalows and two-flats, the wall between the kitchen and dining room is very often load-bearing and carries the floors above. We open a small inspection point to confirm framing before designing the layout, and we engineer a beam where the wall comes out.
What happens if there’s old wiring or plumbing behind my kitchen walls?
In Portage Park’s century-old bungalows, knob-and-tube wiring and galvanized supply lines are common discoveries. We flag anything during demolition, show you the issue, and fold the upgrade into the plan rather than springing a change order.
Is a kitchen island realistic for my Portage Park bungalow?
Often yes once the kitchen-to-dining wall comes down, though tighter bungalow kitchens may suit a peninsula. We model the island and its 42-inch clearances in your actual space before building.
How long does a kitchen remodel take in Portage Park?
Most Portage Park kitchen remodels take about five to eight weeks of construction, plus added time for Chicago permit approval. We give you a week-by-week schedule and handle the city process up front.
