Tile & Stone in
Lakeview

A standard bathroom floor and shower tile project takes 7–10 working days including cure times. Kitchen backsplash tile typically takes 1–2 days. Larger custom tile scopes can take 2–3 weeks. For Lakeview projects specifically, we also factor in any local logistics — building access, parking restrictions, and neighbor coordination — into the project schedule from day one. We don't give start dates until permits are approved and materials are confirmed, so the schedule we commit to is one we can actually keep.

Yes — 32 Build manages the full permit process on every project. Lakeview renovation projects are permitted through the City of Chicago Department of Buildings. Condo and multi-unit projects additionally require HOA or building management approval — a process 32 Build helps coordinate from the start. We submit the permit application, coordinate plan review, schedule all required inspections, and handle any correction notices from the building department. Clients don't need to interact with the permit office at all — that's our job.

Yes. 32 Build holds an active City of Chicago General Contractor license and is licensed to work throughout Chicago and Chicagoland. We carry a minimum of $1M general liability and workers' compensation insurance on every project. We can provide a certificate of insurance and proof of licensure before work begins — just ask when you reach out.

Yes. Every project starts with a free on-site consultation and written estimate — no commitment required. We visit your property in Lakeview, assess the existing conditions and scope, and deliver a detailed written estimate within 1–2 weeks. The estimate breaks down labor, materials, and permit costs so you know exactly what you're paying for before signing anything. We respond to all new inquiries within one business day.

32 Build has been delivering renovation work in the Chicago area since 2007. We self-perform tile, hardwood floors, finish carpentry, drywall, and painting with our own crews — no subcontracted finish trades. Every project gets a dedicated project manager who is your single point of contact from estimate through final walkthrough. We use written change orders for any scope additions, so there are never surprise costs at the end of a project. And we're a licensed GC, which means we handle permits and inspections — you don't have to.
