General Contractor in Chicago, IL
City of Chicago
Building in the city is its own trade. Chicago permits move at their own pace, the alley is your staging area, the neighbors are four feet away, and a two flat hides ninety years of previous owners' decisions behind every wall. None of that is a problem if your contractor has done it before. We have been building in and around Chicago for more than thirty years.
Our city work splits between homes and storefronts. On the residential side it is gut rehabs, kitchen and bath remodels, basement dig outs and finishes, and deconversions or updates in two flats and greystones. On the commercial side it is restaurants, retail, and offices in every kind of neighborhood corridor, where the buildout schedule decides whether the business makes it.
Permits, logistics, and no excuses
We manage Chicago Department of Buildings permits as part of the job, from easy permit process work to full plan review, and we schedule inspections so the project keeps moving. City logistics like dumpster placement, alley access, and protecting the neighbor's property line are our problem, not yours.
Fire restoration matters here too. Chicago's housing stock is old and fires happen. We take damaged buildings from assessment through structural repair to finished rooms, with documentation your insurance carrier can work with.
