Do I need a building permit for my Lincoln Square remodel?
Yes, you will need a permit from the Chicago Department of Buildings (DOB) for layout modifications, wall removals, or major plumbing and electrical changes.
Maya Construction Group takes care of the entire planning and city permit process for you, navigating the city's standard 7-to-9 week review timeline so you can focus on your design.
How much does a larger home renovation or addition cost in Lincoln Square?
Because Lincoln Square properties deserve upscale finishes and careful structural handling, full-home layout updates, open-concept conversions, or rear footprint expansions typically range from $120,000 to $450,000+.
Simpler structural updates, floor leveling, or major utility overhauls generally range between $55,000 and $115,000+, depending entirely on the size of your home.
What is the cost and scope for a kitchen or bathroom remodel?
Modernizing a kitchen or bath in a vintage Lincoln Square property often involves removing a non-structural wall to open the view, updating hidden plumbing lines, and upgrading your electrical panel to handle high-end modern appliances.
Beautiful, custom kitchen and primary bath transformations generally range between $30,000 and $100,000, based on the custom features and materials you choose.
