Your Home Remodeling Contractor in Wicker Park, Chicago, Illinois
Wicker Park is one of Chicago’s most architecturally distinctive neighborhoods — a dense collection of Victorian-era homes, Italianate two-flats, and coach houses built in the 1880s through early 1900s. These are beautiful old buildings, but beautiful doesn’t mean problem-free. Aging wiring, outdated plumbing, and decades of deferred maintenance are the realities behind the ornate exteriors.
Remodeling Victorian-Era Wicker Park Homes
Wicker Park's housing stock was built in the 1880s–1910s — Victorian-era construction with high ceilings, original millwork, and plaster walls that require a different approach than modern remodeling. We know how to work with these buildings without destroying the features that make them worth remodeling.
Chicago Building Permits for Wicker Park
All structural, plumbing, electrical, and mechanical work in Wicker Park requires permits from the Chicago Department of Buildings at 121 N. LaSalle Street, Room 905. Historic district considerations may apply to exterior work. We handle all filings and inspections.
Honoring Wicker Park's Architectural Character
Wicker Park homeowners are serious about their buildings — they didn't buy a Victorian two-flat to gut it and make it look generic. We modernize function while preserving original woodwork, plaster details, and period-appropriate materials that make these homes architecturally significant.

Frequently Asked Questions
What kinds of home remodeling do you do in Wicker Park?
We’re a design-build remodeler handling kitchens, bathrooms, home additions, basements, and whole-house projects in Wicker Park, where the housing is mostly Victorian mansions, worker cottages, two-flats, and greystones. We manage design through construction under one roof, so one accountable team carries your project from the first sketch to the final walkthrough.
Do I need a permit to remodel my home in Wicker Park?
Most projects that touch plumbing, electrical, or structure do. Permits go through the Chicago Department of Buildings at 121 N. LaSalle Street, and we handle the application, plan review, and inspections so you don’t have to navigate the process yourself.
How much does a home remodel cost in Wicker Park?
It depends on scope. In Wicker Park, kitchen remodels typically run $45,000 to $150,000, bathrooms $20,000 to $80,000, and home additions $300 to $500 per square foot. After the design phase we give you a fixed, line-item budget so there are no surprises.
How do you remodel a Wicker Park Victorian or rowhouse without losing its character?
We document the original detail — cornices, millwork, staircases, and the facade — then restore or replicate it while modernizing everything behind it. The goal is a home that still feels historic but lives like a new one.
Can you finish or expand the lower level of my Wicker Park home?
Often yes. Many Wicker Park rowhouses and greystones have lower levels we can finish into family rooms, suites, or even income units, working within Chicago’s ceiling-height and egress requirements.
