In Ravenswood, Wood Contracting handles kitchen, bathroom, and whole-home remodeling, drawing on more than 30 years of hands-on experience. We remodel kitchens, bathrooms, and entire homes across the classic Chicago bungalows, the Queen Anne and frame Victorians, the two-flats and single-family homes, and the loft conversions along the Ravenswood rail corridor. Most bathrooms run 4 to 6 weeks and most kitchens 6 to 10, with cost ranges in the summary below. We hold Illinois GC license TGC105501, are EPA Lead-Safe certified, carry full insurance, and pull city permits and any corridor-loft or condo association approvals your project calls for.
Ravenswood Remodeling At a Glance
The fast facts for a Ravenswood remodel:
- Kitchen remodels: $15,000 to $80,000+, depending on finishes and how much the layout or original infrastructure changes.
- Bathroom remodels: $12,000 to $55,000+, from a powder room update to a full primary bathroom.
- Timelines: roughly 4 to 6 weeks for a bathroom, 6 to 10 for a kitchen, and 10 to 16 for a whole-home renovation.
- Approvals: single-family bungalows and Victorians mostly come down to city permits; a corridor loft or condo may add an association sign-off. We coordinate whichever applies.
- Older-home realities: knob-and-tube wiring, cast-iron stacks, and settled framing are common in the bungalows and Victorians. We plan for them rather than discovering them late.
- Credentials: Illinois GC license TGC105501, EPA Lead-Safe certified, fully insured.
- Getting going: a free sit-down with Dillon, typically within the week.
Why Ravenswood Homeowners Trust Wood Contracting
Ravenswood is a settle-in-for-the-long-haul neighborhood of Chicago bungalows, Victorians, and two-flats, with loft and maker conversions lining the rail corridor, and each one asks different things of a remodel. Families here tend to renovate for the next decade, not the next sale, so the contractor you choose has to build for how you actually live. Renovating for the long haul is the whole point for us, and it shows in the numbers: roughly nine in ten of our projects come from referrals and repeat clients.
Your first meeting is with Dillon Wood, not a sales rep, so accountability sits with the person who actually runs the job.
That confidence comes from years on these streets. We have remodeled Ravenswood's bungalows, Victorians, two-flats, and corridor lofts, including kitchen remodeling, bathroom remodeling, and full home renovations. We know how a classic Chicago bungalow is laid out, what hides behind Victorian plaster, and how a corridor loft conversion is put together, and we plan each project around the home it actually is.
