Name: Maya Construction Group
Price range: $$$

Maya Construction Group is a licensed Chicago general contractor (#TCG039361) providing high-intent home remodeling in Lakeview since 1998. We specialize in the structural execution, permit management, and system modernization of classic brick two-flats, grand Southport Corridor single-family homes, and vintage lakefront condominiums near Broadway, Belmont Avenue, Clark Street, and the Lincoln Avenue corridor.

In Lakeview, our most requested work includes kitchen open-concept conversions that open up compartmentalized, narrow footprints in classic brick two-flats and vintage condos, and spa-grade bathroom remodeling with complete plumbing overhauls and structural waterproofing engineered for older timber framing.

We also convert low-clearance lower levels with basement finishing — fixing central support sags and installing code-compliant overhead sewers — along with structural home additions like second-story vertical dormers within strict RS-3/RT-4 zoning guidelines, and condo and multi-unit remodeling navigating fire codes and building association regulations for historic lakefront properties and courtyard buildings.

Navigating Lakeview Construction Standards

Housing Type	Common Home Challenge	Maya’s Smooth Remodeling Solution
Vintage Brick 2-Flats & 3-Flats	Floor plans feel small and separate; older common-brick side walls allow damp lakefront winds to create cold drafts.	We remove dividing walls to create large, open living spaces and add moisture-protected, modern insulation to keep your home cozy.
Grand Single-Family Homes	Central floor support lines sag over a century of natural movement, resulting in uneven or noticeably sloping floors.	We safely lift and level your floor support systems from the basement up, integrating heavy steel headers to secure the structure.
Vintage Lakefront Condos	Original plumbing lines are slow or deteriorating, and outdated 100-amp electrical panels cannot handle modern appliances.	We completely replace aging utility branches, satisfy multi-unit code requirements, and execute full 200-amp electrical upgrades.
