Built around Chicago's homes, not a generic checklist.
The typical Chicago home is about 82 years old, with a median home value near $360,000. That matters when we scope project access, finish level, permit timing, and how much discovery to expect behind walls, under floors, or on the roof deck.
We regularly plan around bungalow, two-flat, three-flat, and greystone housing styles and neighborhood patterns in Lincoln Park, Lakeview, Wicker Park, and Logan Square. The result is a project plan that fits the home before a trade partner ever opens a toolbox.
