Logan Square Kitchen and Bathroom Remodeling

We have remodeled kitchens across Logan Square's range of homes, and in the greystones, bungalows, and flats the design starts with the original floor plan. These homes were built with closed-off kitchens at the back, so the project is usually about opening that space to the rest of the floor without losing a load-bearing wall or fighting a plumbing stack that runs the height of the building. The classic Chicago bungalow brings its own low-slung layout and original cabinetry to work around. We read the home first, before any finishes are chosen.

‍

From there we handle cabinet selection and install, quartz or natural stone countertops, tile and stone backsplashes, and integrated appliance packages sized to the room. Logan Square homeowners often want the new kitchen to respect the home's era, so we match trim and millwork where it counts, or take it fully modern if that is the goal. We help you make that call rather than defaulting to one look.

Kitchen remodeling in Logan Square typically ranges from $15,000 to $80,000+ depending on the scope, finishes, and any structural modifications. Cosmetic kitchen updates with cabinet refacing or painting, new countertops, and backsplash usually fall in the $15,000 to $22,000 range. Mid-range remodels with new cabinetry, appliances, and finishes typically run $22,000 to $50,000+. Complete kitchen transformations that include layout changes, high-end appliances, and custom cabinetry typically run $50,000 to $80,000+.

Logan Square's older homes hide their surprises in the bathroom. Behind the tile of a greystone, bungalow, or flat we routinely find galvanized supply lines, cast-iron drains, and plaster over uneven framing, and a remodel that skips them looks good briefly and then fails. We open carefully, see what is there, and bring the plumbing and substrate up to current standards as part of the job rather than tiling over the problem.

‍

Waterproofing is non-negotiable, especially in two- and three-flats with living space below. We follow best practices for shower pan construction and proper membrane application so a new bathroom protects the rooms beneath it. Our primary bathroom remodels include curbless showers, freestanding or soaking tubs, double vanities where the layout allows, heated floors for Chicago winters, and the ventilation these older homes were never built with. Powder and guest baths get the same care in a smaller footprint.

Bathroom remodels in Logan Square typically range from $12,000 for small bathroom updates to $55,000+ for luxury primary bathroom renovations. Powder room and half bath updates usually fall in the $12,000 to $20,000 range. Mid-range full bathroom remodels with new fixtures, tile, and vanities typically run $20,000 to $32,000+. Luxury primary bathroom renovations with custom tile, premium fixtures, heated floors, and layout changes typically run $32,000 to $55,000+.

Some of our most rewarding Logan Square work is the full historic-home renovation, where we update the kitchen, every bathroom, flooring, lighting, and layout across a whole greystone, bungalow, or two-flat while protecting the period detail that gives these homes their value. Projects often include opening a closed Victorian or bungalow floor plan, rebuilding a rear addition, or reworking a two-flat for how a family actually lives. Most whole-home Logan Square renovations run 10 to 16 weeks depending on size and structural scope.

A whole home renovation here pairs naturally with custom carpentry and built-ins, since matching or restoring the original millwork, built-in buffets, and trim is often what makes a greystone or bungalow remodel feel right. Many of these homes have lower levels we can convert with basement finishing, and for the neighborhood's condos and newer buildings we handle full condo renovation as well. If you are weighing a phased remodel against a single full renovation, we will lay out the trade-offs at your consultation.

Renovating in Logan Square depends on what you own and where it sits. A single-family bungalow or cottage mostly comes down to Chicago permits, but a greystone or mansion on the landmarked boulevards can add a historic-district review of anything that changes the exterior, and a two-flat or condo can add an association sign-off. We tell you up front which of these applies so the approval timeline is part of the plan, not a surprise once demolition starts.

‍

We handle that side for you. We know which Logan Square blocks fall in the boulevard historic district, what the city looks for on a vintage-home permit, and how to document a project so review moves quickly. In the older homes we plan for what we will find once walls are open, the knob-and-tube, the plaster, the layers of past work, so the scope and budget hold from the start.

‍

Chicago building permits are required for most kitchen and bathroom remodels that involve plumbing, electrical, or structural changes. We advise you on when a permit is needed for your specific project and coordinate permit pull-through, along with any historic-district or association approvals, when the scope calls for it. City permits typically take 2 to 4 weeks, and we build that window into your timeline from the start.
