Old Town Remodeling FAQs

Do I need a permit for exterior changes in the Old Town Triangle?

Yes. If your property is in a Chicago Landmark district, any exterior work visible from the public way requires a Certificate of Appropriateness (COA) from the Landmark Commission.

As your licensed contractor, we manage both the Landmark review and standard building permits.

How much does home remodeling cost in Old Town?

Most high-end kitchen and bath renovations in Old Town range from $150,000 to $300,000+.

Costs are driven by the structural complexity of historic buildings and the premium materials expected in the 60610 market.

Can Maya work with my Condo Board and HOA?

Yes. We are experienced with Old Town HOA logistics, providing required insurance (COIs), signing Alteration Agreements, and managing debris removal within building-specific timeframes.
