Home Remodeling in Belmont Cragin

Our home remodeling services →Bathroom Remodeling in Belmont Cragin
Two-flats off Diversey Avenue near the Brickyard often have stacked bathrooms that share pipes. We remodel one unit's bath at a time, with walk-in showers, new tile and vanities, and plan water shut-offs so the other unit is not surprised.

Many homes around the Brickyard at Diversey and Narragansett still have a narrow kitchen at the back of the house, with little counter space and old cabinets. We add new cabinets, counters and a peninsula or island with seating, or reface cabinets when the layout already works.
Our kitchen remodeling services →General Contracting in Belmont Cragin
Brick homes along Narragansett Avenue often have a wall between the kitchen and dining room. We check if it is load-bearing, plan a beam so it can come out safely and file the City of Chicago permit, and we also build porches, decks and additions.

When a kitchen opens to the dining room in a Belmont Cragin bungalow, the floors need to meet cleanly. We patch or refinish hardwood across the new opening, set tile or LVP in kitchens and baths and finish basement floors with water-resistant materials.

Plans That Fit Belmont Cragin Home Styles
- Bungalows: long, narrow kitchens at the back of the house. Smart storage makes them work much harder.
- Georgians: a separate kitchen and dining room. Opening the wall gives one bright, shared space.
- Raised ranches: the kitchen sits on the main level, often with room for an island.
- Two-flats: two kitchens stacked. We plan the work so the other unit keeps its water and power.
What We Check Before the Cabinets Go In
Older homes often need work behind the walls first. We:
- Check if a wall is load-bearing before we open it
- Add circuits so new appliances do not trip breakers
- Run a range hood vent to the outside
- Level floors so cabinets and counters sit straight
Permits and Scheduling in Chicago
- Most remodels that move plumbing, wiring or walls need a City of Chicago building permit.
- We prepare the plans, file the permit and book the inspections.
- Two-flat owners: we plan work hours and water shut-offs so the other unit is not surprised.
- We plan street or alley space for the dumpster and deliveries before work starts.
