Condo Renovation
in Chicago
A condo renovation in Chicago is a different job from renovating a house. Before any work starts, the association has to approve the plans, the building needs the contractor’s license and certificates of insurance, and the freight elevator, deliveries, and work hours all run on the building’s rules. 32 Build plans for all of it before we bid, so your condo renovation schedule is realistic from the start.
We renovate condos from kitchens and baths to full gut renovations, in lakefront high-rises in the Gold Coast, Streeterville, and the South Loop, and in vintage and loft buildings across the city. Our own crews self-perform framing, drywall, finish carpentry, millwork, tile, flooring, and paint, and we schedule and manage the licensed plumbers, electricians, and HVAC subcontractors.
In a condo, your neighbors are on the other side of the wall, the floor, and the ceiling. We check the association’s flooring sound requirements and install the required underlayment, waterproof every wet area over the unit below, and coordinate any work on shared risers and building systems with the building engineer.
You get one point of contact from the association submission to the final walkthrough. We prepare the paperwork the board asks for, book the elevator through building management, protect the halls and common areas along the path of travel, and clean up at the end of every day.
What Makes a Great Condo Renovation in Chicago
A condo renovation succeeds or stalls on the building’s rules as much as on the work itself. Here’s what we build into every condo project.
Association Approval Package
Plans or scope of work, material specs, and a schedule, prepared for the board’s review.
Certificates of Insurance
COIs naming the association, the management company, and any additional insureds the building requires.
Elevator & Delivery Bookings
Freight elevator and loading dock reserved through building management, deliveries on the building’s schedule.
Work Within Quiet Hours
Loud work kept to the building’s approved hours, so the job never stops over a noise complaint.
Common-Area Protection
Halls, elevators, and lobbies protected along the path of travel, and cleaned at the end of every day.
Dust Containment
The work area sealed off from the rest of the unit and the corridor.
Sound-Rated Flooring
The association’s sound transmission rules checked and the required underlayment installed under every new floor.
Waterproofing Over the Unit Below
Full membrane systems in showers and wet areas, so no leak ever reaches a neighbor’s ceiling.
Shared Risers & Building Systems
Plumbing risers, HVAC, and shared systems coordinated with the building engineer before we touch them.
Condo Kitchens
Cabinets, countertops, appliances, and layout changes that fit the unit and the building’s rules.
Condo Bathrooms
Tile showers, vanities, and fixtures, including reworked layouts with plumbing moved where the space opens up.
Layout Changes
Walls moved and rooms opened up, with an engineer’s review where the building requires one.
Millwork & Built-Ins
Custom closets, built-ins, and trim by our own finish carpenters, sized to the unit.
Clean Handoff
A punch-list walkthrough with you, full cleanup, and our 1-year written workmanship warranty.
