Remodeling Services in Lakeview
Everything we do for homes in Lakeview, from one room to the whole house.
Home Remodeling in Lakeview
Lakeview two-flats, greystones and vintage courtyard condos each need a different plan. We turn garden units and basements into living space, open up long greystone layouts and remodel condo units within association rules for work hours and approvals.
Our home remodeling services →Bathroom Remodeling in Lakeview
In Lakeview two-flats and three-flats, bathrooms are often stacked and share pipes with the unit above or below. We swap old tubs for walk-in showers, fit new vanities and glass doors, and plan water shut-offs so neighbors keep their water.
Our bathroom remodeling services →Kitchen Remodeling in Lakeview
Kitchens in Wrigleyville flats and Northalsted condos are often small, so every cabinet counts. We fit new cabinets or reface old ones, add a peninsula or island where the room allows, and finish with new counters, backsplash and better lighting.
Our kitchen remodeling services →General Contracting in Lakeview
Most Lakeview remodels that move walls, pipes or wiring need a City of Chicago permit, and we prepare the plans and book the inspections. We also take out load-bearing walls with a proper beam and build or repair porches and decks, with deliveries planned around Cubs game days.
Our general contracting services →Flooring in Lakeview
Many older Lakeview flats and greystones still have original wood floors under years of wear. We refinish hardwood, install new hardwood or LVP, and lay tile in kitchens and baths, with garden unit and basement floors picked to handle moisture.

Plans That Fit Lakeview Home Styles
- Two-flats and three-flats: stacked kitchens and baths share pipes. We plan the work so other units keep their water.
- Greystones: long, narrow plans. We place kitchens and baths to let in more light.
- Vintage condos: plaster walls and old pipes. We check what is behind the walls first.
- Frame cottages: small rooms and older framing. Smart layouts make them feel bigger.
Remodeling a Condo in Lakeview
Many Lakeview homes are condos in shared buildings. Before work starts, we:
- Review your association rules for work hours and approvals
- Plan elevator, stair and hallway use with building management
- Schedule water shut-offs so neighbors know ahead of time
- Keep dust and noise inside your unit
Permits and Scheduling in Lakeview
- Most remodels that move plumbing, wiring or walls need a building permit from the City of Chicago Department of Buildings.
- We prepare the plans, file the permit and book the inspections.
- On Cubs game days, streets near Wrigley Field get busy, so we plan deliveries around them.
- We plan street or alley space for the dumpster before work starts.
