Structural Engineering & Space Reconfiguration

We specialize in complex structural overhauls, including removing interior load-bearing walls, installing recessed steel I-beams, and reconfiguring staircases. Whether you want an open-concept main floor or a multi-unit to single-family conversion, we handle the layout engineering from day one.

Historical Greystone & Bungalow Restorations

Renovating classic Chicago brick bungalows, greystones, and timber-framed homes requires specialized structural knowledge. Our crews excel at leveling settled floor joists, repairing vintage masonry, and modernizing layouts while carefully preserving historic exterior facades.

Second-Story Additions & Footprint Expansions

Expand your living space without leaving the neighborhood you love. Maya Construction Group executes seamless second-story additions ("pop-tops"), attic conversions, rear bump-outs, and structural expansions, fully engineered to match your existing foundation's load capacity.Learn more about our dedicated home addition services

Whole-House Mechanical & System Upgrades

We strip old infrastructure to the studs to bring your home up to code. We upgrade aging electrical systems to mandatory metal EMT conduit with new 200-amp panels, replace obsolete plumbing stacks with copper lines, and install high-efficiency, zoned multi-floor HVAC systems.

Premium Trim, Millwork & Cohesive Flooring

Ensure visual continuity across every square foot. Our finish carpenters install unified, high-traffic flooring including site-finished solid oak hardwoods and premium wide planks, complemented by custom crown molding, modern baseboards, and integrated architectural millwork.

Integrated Multi-Room Design Coordination

Avoid a disjointed look by designing your home under a single master plan. We coordinate material selections, cabinetry profiles, hardware finishes, and lighting layouts simultaneously so your kitchen, living spaces, and primary suites flow together seamlessly.

Chicago Building Permit Management

Major structural renovations require plan-based municipal reviews, not simple express permits. We handle 100% of the paperwork, architecture submittals, and zoning reviews for the City of Chicago Standard Plan Review, and manage all mandatory multi-stage building inspections.

Direct owner accountability since 1998

For more than 25 years, Maya Construction Group has focused on honest contracting, clear timelines, and meticulous execution across the Chicagoland area. Founded by Udi Yeger and Ofer Gliksman, our business operates on a direct-accountability model. 

We don’t hand your major investment off to third-party management companies or distant salespeople. 

Our founders remain actively involved in the quality control of your project, ensuring our in-house trade teams build every element to strict municipal safety codes and premium finish standards.

How Long Does a Whole-Home Renovation Take in Chicago?

A comprehensive, multi-room home renovation or structural gut rehab typically requires 12 to 24 weeks of active construction, depending heavily on total square footage, structural modifications, and mechanical changes. 

By managing our framing, licensed electrical, plumbing, and finish carpentry teams directly, Maya Construction Group eliminates third-party scheduling bottlenecks. This structural oversight keeps your project on track and protects your move-in deadline.

Expert Chicagoland Whole-Home Transformation

The Challenge: This classic N Clark St. townhome featured heavily compartmentalized, dark living levels, closed-off structural partitions, and a dated, dark-wood kitchen that isolated the home’s primary living zones.

The Solution: Our team completely gutted the multi-floor property down to the studs, removing interior walls to install structural support headers and create a sweeping, open-concept main floor. 

We modernized the layout with a custom staircase overhaul, expanded windows to flood the space with natural light, integrated high-efficiency zoned mechanical systems to code, and installed a custom light-toned kitchen paired with matching premium white quartz countertops.

We used Maya Construction Group to remodel our staircase and upstairs bedroom and couldn't be happier with the results! Udi and his team were professional, efficient, and an overall joy to work with.The results exceeded our expectations and the project was completed on time. Udi was creative and flexible and helped us maximize our space within our budget to create a beautiful and safer staircase. Highly recommend this group and will use them again for any future projects!

Maya recently completed a total renovation of my 1940's Chicago georgian bathroom. Their workmanship was excellent. They put in long hours to get it finished for me quickly, since it's the only shower in the house. At every step of the process, Udi communicated well and made sure that I was happy. It turned out beautiful, and the price was reasonable. What more could you ask for?
