About This Whole-Home Project
A complete unit renovation on Broadway St. in Lakeview — the neighbourhood our Chicago office sits in. Lakeview’s residential stock runs from vintage courtyard buildings and greystones to walk-ups and newer construction, and units in the older buildings typically arrive with a closed-off kitchen, one bathroom and a century of layered updates.
Being based in Lakeview means site visits here are a short trip rather than a scheduled journey, which matters most on a full unit renovation where decisions come up daily. Kitchen, bathroom, flooring and finishes were rebuilt as a single programme of work rather than as separate jobs.

Whole-Home Renovation FAQs
What does a complete unit renovation include?
Typically kitchen, bathrooms, flooring and paint throughout, along with the carpentry, tile and any plumbing and electrical the work exposes. Every project differs, so scope is agreed room by room before pricing rather than assumed from a package.
Can we live in the property during a full renovation?
Generally not, and we will say so plainly rather than let you find out mid-project. A whole-unit renovation touches every room and the mechanical systems, so most clients arrange to be out. Phased approaches are possible on larger homes where a wing can be sealed off.
How is a project like this sequenced?
Demolition, then anything structural, then rough plumbing and electrical, inspections where required, then closing walls, then finishes in order from the top down. The sequence is not flexible, which is why a realistic schedule matters more than an optimistic one.
Do you handle permits?
Where the scope requires them, yes. Structural changes and most plumbing, electrical and mechanical work need permits, while cosmetic updates generally do not. We identify what applies before pricing and build the approval time into the schedule.
How do you keep a whole-home project on track?
One team runs both the design and the build, so there is no gap between what was drawn and what gets constructed. Long-lead items are ordered early, and the trades are scheduled against one programme rather than each managing their own.
