Your Bungalow. Your Two-Flat. Completely Reimagined.

Whole Home Renovation Built for Logan Square's Housing Stock

Logan Square sits at the heart of Chicago's bungalow belt—thousands of solid 1920s brick homes with great bones but dated interiors. Whether you own a classic Chicago bungalow near the 606 trail, a Greystone along the boulevards, or a two-flat you're converting into a single-family home, a whole-home remodel lets you tackle everything at once instead of dragging it out room by room over years.

We handle the challenges specific to Logan Square homes: opening up compartmentalized bungalow floor plans, raising low basement ceilings, upgrading knob-and-tube wiring, replacing galvanized pipes—all under one permit, one timeline, and one team. The result? A home that finally matches the neighborhood you chose to live in.

Is Whole Home Right for You?

Logan Square Renovation Assessment

Not every home needs a full renovation. Here's how to know if bundling makes sense for your Logan Square property.

Signs It's Time for a Whole Home Remodel

  • Bungalow floor plan feels closed off: Separate kitchen, dining, and living rooms with walls blocking every sight line
  • Basement is wasted space: 6'6" ceilings, no egress, bare concrete—hundreds of square feet doing nothing
  • Systems are original: Galvanized pipes, 100-amp panel, radiator heat with no AC, knob-and-tube wiring
  • You bought a two-flat: Converting the owner's unit (or both) into the home you actually want to live in
  • Near the 606 trail: Property values have surged—a cohesive renovation maximizes your equity position

Logan Square–Specific Considerations

  • Boulevards Historic District: Properties on Logan, Kedzie, or Humboldt Blvds need Landmarks approval for exterior work
  • Bungalow ceiling heights: First floors at 8' and basements at 6'6" require creative solutions for modern feel
  • Two-flat zoning: Converting a two-flat to single-family may require zoning review—we navigate this for you
  • Alley access matters: Demo and material delivery logistics depend on your lot configuration
  • Strong ROI: Logan Square's appreciation trend means well-renovated homes are selling at premium prices
What's Included

Scope of Work for Logan Square Homes

Every Logan Square home is different. We tailor the scope to your property type, priorities, and budget.

Kitchen remodeling Logan Square bungalowCore

Kitchen Transformation

Most Logan Square bungalows have kitchens tucked in the back corner. We reconfigure the layout, often removing the wall to the dining room to create the open-plan kitchen that modern buyers and homeowners want.

  • Custom IL-made cabinetry
  • Wall removal to dining room
  • Island where wall used to be
  • Upgraded gas lines & venting
Bathroom remodeling Logan SquareCore

Bathroom Renovations

Bungalow bathrooms are notoriously small—often one shared bath for the entire house. We expand, reconfigure, or add a primary en-suite where one never existed before.

  • Primary en-suite addition
  • Tub-to-shower conversions
  • Heated flooring
  • Replace cast iron stacks
Basement finishing Logan Square bungalowHigh ROI

Basement Finishing

Logan Square bungalows typically have 6'6" basements—unusable for most families. We underpin or bench footings to gain ceiling height, waterproof, and finish 500-800 sq ft of new living space.

  • Ceiling height solutions
  • Waterproofing & drain tile
  • Egress window installation
  • Full bath + bedroom option
Open floor plan bungalow conversionPopular

Bungalow Open Concept

The #1 request for Logan Square bungalows: tear down the walls between kitchen, dining room, and living room. We install the structural beam and create the bright, connected space these homes were never built with.

  • Structural engineering included
  • Steel beam installation
  • Matching hardwood throughout
  • Recessed lighting plan
Gut renovation Logan SquarePremium

Gut Renovation

Strip to the studs and rebuild from scratch. Ideal for two-flat conversions or bungalows with failing systems where a cosmetic refresh won't cut it. New layout, new systems, new everything.

  • Two-flat to single-family
  • Complete rewiring (200 amp)
  • New copper or PEX plumbing
  • Forced air HVAC + AC
Built-ins and millwork Logan Square

Second Floor & Attic

Many Logan Square bungalows have unfinished attic space with dormers. We convert these into bedrooms, offices, or primary suites—adding livable square footage without changing the footprint.

  • Dormer bedroom buildout
  • Attic-to-primary suite
  • Skylight installation
  • Proper insulation & HVAC

Client Reviews

What Logan Square Homeowners Say

Real feedback from neighbors who transformed their homes with us.

We bought our 1926 bungalow near the 606 knowing it needed a gut renovation. Every room was chopped up, the basement had 6-foot ceilings, and the electrical was original. Assembly Squad opened up the entire main floor, installed a gorgeous kitchen with an island where the dining room wall used to be, renovated both bathrooms, and finished the basement with proper ceiling height. Doing it all at once saved us nearly $40K compared to the quotes we got for doing it room by room.

Amanda L.
Logan Square — 1926 Bungalow Renovation

We converted our Logan Square two-flat into a single-family home. Viktor's team handled everything—the zoning paperwork, combining the units, a complete gut of the owner's floor, new kitchen, two new bathrooms, and they even turned the attic dormer into a home office. Having one contractor manage the whole project versus coordinating five different subs was the smartest decision we made. Finished in 18 weeks.

Common Questions

Logan Square Whole Home FAQs

Answers specific to renovating bungalows, two-flats, and Greystones in Logan Square.

Logan Square whole home remodels range from $125,000 to $500,000+. A refresh renovation (new finishes, same layout) runs $125K-$175K. The most popular option—full bungalow transformation with open concept, kitchen, baths, and basement—runs $175K-$325K. Gut renovations and two-flat conversions start at $325K. Cost per square foot ranges from $65-$200 depending on scope.
Yes—it's our most requested service for Logan Square bungalows. Most bungalows have load-bearing walls between the kitchen, dining room, and living room. We work with structural engineers to design a steel beam that carries the load, then remove the walls to create one continuous open space. The cost for structural beam work typically adds $8,000-$15,000 to a kitchen project, but the impact on daily living and resale value is dramatic.
Absolutely. Two-flat-to-single-family conversions are a significant part of our Logan Square work. The process involves: zoning review (some areas require a zoning change), combining the units structurally, redesigning the floor plan, and updating all systems. If you want to keep the rental unit, we can also renovate just the owner's unit as a comprehensive whole-home project. We handle all the permitting and zoning paperwork.
Most Logan Square bungalow basements have 6'2" to 6'8" ceilings—too low for comfortable living space. We offer two solutions: underpinning (lowering the basement floor to gain 12-18" of height) or bench footing (a less invasive method). Both give you a legal-height basement suitable for bedrooms, offices, or family rooms. Underpinning adds $25,000-$45,000 to the project but creates 500-800 sq ft of valuable living space.
For most comprehensive renovations, yes. When the kitchen is gutted, you'll be without cooking and often without running water to that area for 3-4 weeks. For gut renovations, plan on 2-4 months away. We recommend securing temporary housing for the heavy construction phase and can help you plan the timeline to minimize disruption. Some clients stay with family nearby or rent short-term in the neighborhood.
The Logan Square Boulevards Historic District covers properties along Logan Boulevard, Kedzie Boulevard, and portions of Humboldt Boulevard. If your home is on or directly facing these boulevards, exterior changes (windows, siding, roofing visible from the street) require Chicago Landmarks Commission approval. Interior renovations are not affected. We handle all Landmarks applications and have experience navigating the review process to keep your project on timeline.
Properties within a few blocks of the 606 Bloomingdale Trail have seen significant appreciation. A well-executed whole home renovation near the trail can return 70-90% ROI because buyers in this micro-market expect modern, move-in-ready homes and are willing to pay a premium. The key is cohesive design and updated systems—exactly what a whole-home approach delivers versus piecemeal updates.
