Condo Remodeling in Andersonville's Vintage Walk-Up Buildings
Andersonville's condos aren't like downtown high-rises. They're 1910s–1940s brick walk-up buildings converted from two-flats and three-flats — with cast-iron plumbing stacks shared between units, knob-and-tube wiring behind horsehair plaster, compact galley kitchens that haven't been touched since conversion, and HOA boards that govern everything from work hours to which elevator you can use to bring materials in.
Assembly Squad has completed condo renovations across Andersonville's most prominent walk-up buildings — from Clark Street mid-rises to Berwyn Avenue vintage walk-ups. We understand what it takes to remodel a condo in Andersonville (60640 & 60660): HOA coordination, shared plumbing awareness, EPA Lead-Safe demolition, and Illinois-made custom cabinetry built for your unit's unique non-standard vintage dimensions. No other contractor knows these buildings the way we do.

What Andersonville Condo Owners Say
Real reviews from Assembly Squad clients across Andersonville's vintage walk-up buildings.
"Living in a vintage walk-up on Clark Street, I was nervous about finding a contractor who understood our building's HOA and the shared plumbing situation. Assembly Squad handled our board approval, worked around the building's 9am–4pm restriction, and the kitchen is completely unrecognizable. Viktor's team knew exactly what they were doing in a pre-1940 building."
"We bought a condo in a 1920s Andersonville building and the galley kitchen was tiny. Assembly Squad opened it to the living room — handling the structural wall, cast-iron stack, and all the HOA paperwork. The Illinois-made cabinets fit perfectly into dimensions no stock cabinet would touch. Everything was done faster than quoted."
