We specialize in the structural execution, permit management, and system modernization of 19th-century Italianate brick flats, vintage frame workers’ cottages, and luxury contemporary residences near Damen Avenue, Armitage Avenue, and The 606 Trail.
In Bucktown, our most requested work includes luxury kitchen remodeling with custom cabinetry, premium stone integrations, and load-bearing partition updates tailored for open-concept conversions in 19th-century Italianate brick flats, and spa-grade bathroom remodeling with high-end structural waterproofing and multi-fixture configurations engineered for vintage masonry and framing.
