Maya Construction Group is a licensed Chicago general contractor (#TCG039361) providing high-intent home remodeling on the Near West Side since 1998. We specialize in the structural execution, permit management, and system modernization of classic brick multi-flats, historic industrial lofts, and contemporary low-rise condominiums near Madison Street, Ashland Avenue, Damen Avenue, and the scenic Union Park blocks.

On the Near West Side, our most requested work includes kitchen open-concept conversions that open up compartmentalized, narrow footprints in classic multi-flats and rowhouses, and bathroom remodeling with full plumbing overhauls and structural waterproofing engineered for vintage subfloors and loft 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 that expand single-family and rowhouse footprints within strict RS-3/RT-4 zoning guidelines, and condo and multi-unit remodeling navigating fire codes, sound isolation, and dense urban job site logistics for historic lofts and modern low-rise condos.

Navigating Near West Side Construction Standards

Housing Type	Common Home Challenge	Maya’s Smooth Remodeling Solution
Vintage Brick 2-Flats & Rowhouses	Floor plans feel separate and dark; older common-brick side walls allow damp 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.
Industrial Heavy Timber Lofts	Rigid concrete structures or exposed timber ceilings limit where you can easily route new kitchen and bath utility connections.	We build smart architectural soffits to hide-route new utility lines cleanly without drilling or altering structural structural slabs.
Modern Condos & Townhomes	Builder-grade layouts lack personal style, smart flow, or adequate integrated storage space.	We design and construct custom integrated cabinetry walls, upgrade kitchen islands, and completely modernize interior finishes.
