Chicago Condo Renovation Experts

13 Years. 300+ Buildings.
Every Chicago Condo — High-Rise, Greystone & Beyond.

When you search "condo remodeling Chicago" you'll find general contractors who've never navigated a Chicago HOA board, never coordinated a freight elevator, and never dealt with a greystone's galvanized plumbing stack. Assembly Squad is different — we're a true Chicago design-build firm and licensed condo remodeling contractor Chicago owners have trusted since 2013 — with in-house designers, dedicated crews, and deep experience in Gold Coast luxury towers, River North lofts, Lincoln Park greystone conversions, and everything in between.

We know Chicago buildings. We know Chicago HOA boards. And our Illinois-made custom cabinetry ships in 4–6 weeks with zero import tariffs — while other condo renovation companies wait 12–16 weeks for overseas orders that cost you more every month tariffs climb. Our design-build condo Chicago process means one team handles everything: HOA approvals, permits, construction, and final walkthrough.

"We've been inside 300+ Chicago buildings — we know the freight elevator schedule at Marina City, the HOA board at 1 East Delaware, and what it takes to get a permit approved fast at the Department of Buildings. That institutional knowledge is what separates a smooth condo renovation from a nightmare. I built Assembly Squad to be the contractor I'd hire for my own Chicago home."

Common Questions

Chicago Condo Remodeling FAQ

Chicago condo remodeling costs range from $25K–$50K for a kitchen refresh, $50K–$120K for kitchen + primary bathroom, and $100K–$300K+ for a full gut renovation. Costs vary by neighborhood — Gold Coast and River North luxury towers typically run 20–40% higher than Lakeview or South Loop condos. See our complete Chicago condo cost guide 2026 for detailed neighborhood breakdowns.
Yes — virtually all Chicago condo buildings require HOA or board approval before work begins. This typically includes architectural plans, contractor insurance certificates, an alteration agreement, and sometimes a full board presentation. We handle the entire HOA approval process on every project — you don't deal with the board or management company at all. We're pre-approved in 300+ Chicago buildings. See our complete 2026 condo renovation permission guide for the full HOA and city permit process.
Construction takes 3–14 weeks depending on scope: bathrooms 3–5 weeks, kitchens 4–8 weeks, full gut renovations 10–14 weeks. Add 2–4 weeks for HOA approval prior to start. Chicago Standard Plan Review runs 7–9 weeks — we submit permits on day one so they run concurrently with design and material orders.
Three things nobody else offers: (1) Pre-approved in 300+ buildings — we know the management companies, HOA boards, and building-specific rules before we set foot in your unit. (2) Fixed-price packages — no change orders, no surprises after you sign. (3) A Lincoln Park design studio at 2315 N Southport where you see and touch every cabinet, countertop, and tile before we build. 13 years local, A+ BBB, 500+ projects completed.
Yes — high-rise condo remodeling is one of our specialties. We've completed projects in buildings up to 60+ floors across Streeterville, Gold Coast, and River North. We coordinate freight elevators, follow restricted construction hours (typically 8am–5pm weekdays), manage material deliveries, and maintain clean common areas throughout construction.
Yes — greystone condo and vintage building renovations are a specialty. Lincoln Park greystones, Lakeview 3-flats, and pre-war vintage condos have unique challenges: older galvanized plumbing, knob-and-tube electrical, and narrow stairways for material delivery. We scope all of this in your free consultation so there are zero surprises mid-project.
Yes — we handle all permit applications through the City of Chicago Department of Buildings. Most condo kitchen and bathroom renovations require permits for plumbing, electrical, and structural changes. We submit applications, schedule all required inspections, and ensure all work is 100% code-compliant. Permit costs are included in your project estimate.
Yes — Chicago condo renovations return 75–85% ROI in increased home value. Gold Coast, River North, and Lincoln Park condos see the highest returns. A full kitchen + bathroom renovation in a high-rise can add $80K–$150K+ to your resale price depending on the building and finishes.
Yes — the majority of our condo clients stay in their unit. We set up dust barriers, work within building hours, and keep common areas clean throughout. We recommend staying elsewhere only during demolition (typically days 1–3). For full gut renovations, we work with you to plan a realistic temporary living arrangement if needed.
