General Contractor in Forest Glen, Chicago

Name: Maya Construction Group
Price range: $$$

Maya Construction Group is a licensed Chicago general contractor (#TCG039361) providing high-intent home remodeling in Forest Glen since 1998. We specialize in the structural renovation, permit management, and system modernization of Tudor Revivals, large-lot brick bungalows, and mid-century ranches near Edgebrook and Sauganash.

In Forest Glen, our most requested work includes kitchen open-concept conversions for large-lot bungalows and English Cottages, with structural wall removals and 200-amp service upgrades for homes with non-standard floor plans, and luxury “studs-up” bathroom gut-rehabs with galvanized plumbing modernization and spa-level upgrades including heated floors and walk-in steam showers.

We also convert lower levels with flood-proof basement finishing — overhead sewers, check valves, and legal egress windows for properties with heavy clay soil — along with structural additions like second-story pop-tops matching the estate-scale architecture of Forest Glen and Sauganash homes, and Tudor and English Cottage restoration specializing in stucco-and-timber repair and historic masonry preservation.
