Navigating Ukrainian Village Construction Standards

Housing TypeCommon Home ChallengeMaya’s Smooth Remodeling Solution
Vintage Brick 2-Flats & 3-FlatsRooms feel small and separated; older side walls make rooms feel chilly or drafty due to traditional layout separations.We remove dividing walls to create large, open living spaces and add moisture-protected, modern insulation to keep your home cozy.

Ukrainian Village Remodeling FAQs

How does Ukrainian Village's landmark status affect my remodeling project?

If your property rests inside the Ukrainian Village Landmark District, any exterior alterations visible from the street must be reviewed and approved by the Commission on Chicago Landmarks.

Interior renovations generally do not trigger landmark restrictions, but they still require a standard building permit from the Chicago Department of Buildings (DOB). Maya Construction Group handles all structural submissions and permit coordination for you.

How much does a structural addition or whole-home renovation cost in Ukrainian Village?

Because Ukrainian Village properties require strict urban staging, landmark-compliant handling, and premium luxury finishes, comprehensive structural updates, open-concept overhauls, or rear footprint additions typically range from $120,000 to $450,000+.

Completing structural framing leveling, sub-slab basement water updates, or major mechanical conversions generally runs between $55,000 and $115,000+, depending entirely on the square footage.

What is the cost and scope for a kitchen or bathroom remodel in Ukrainian Village?

Modernizing a kitchen or bath in a historic neighborhood home usually involves taking down a non-structural wall to open the view, installing steel structural headers for support, and upgrading original 100-amp electrical panels to 200-amp service.

Beautiful, custom kitchen and primary bathroom transformations typically range between $30,000 and $100,000, based on custom cabinetry features and the high-end materials you choose.
