For Roscoe Village, Wood Contracting handles kitchen, bathroom, and whole-home remodeling led by a contractor with more than 30 years of hands-on experience. We remodel kitchens, bathrooms, and whole homes across the vintage cottages and bungalows, the greystone two-flats, the single-family Victorians, and the neighborhood's loft conversions. 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 loft or condo association approvals your project calls for.

Roscoe Village Remodeling At a Glance

If you are sizing up a Roscoe Village project, start here:

  • Kitchen remodels: $15,000 to $80,000+, depending on finishes and whether the layout or original infrastructure changes.
  • Bathroom remodels: $12,000 to $55,000+, from a powder room update to a full primary bathroom.
  • Timelines: plan on 4 to 6 weeks for a bathroom, 6 to 10 for a kitchen, and 10 to 16 for a whole-home job.
  • Approvals: single-family homes, cottages, and two-flats mostly come down to city permits; a loft conversion or condo may add an association sign-off. We coordinate whichever applies.
  • Older-home realities: cast-iron stacks, undersized electrical, out-of-square floors, and patched tile substrates are common in the cottages and greystones. We expect them and budget for them up front.
  • Credentials: Illinois GC license TGC105501, EPA Lead-Safe certified, fully insured.
  • How to begin: book a no-cost consultation with Dillon, usually within the same week.

Why Roscoe Village Homeowners Trust Wood Contracting

Roscoe Village is a single-family and two-flat neighborhood at heart, and these century-old cottages, bungalows, and greystones reward a contractor who has opened their walls before. The layout you want often runs into a load-bearing wall, an old back stair, or a cast-iron stack that was never meant to move, and knowing that going in is what separates a smooth project from a stalled one. That kind of foresight is what keeps Roscoe Village homeowners sending us to their neighbors; close to 90% of our projects come from referrals and repeat business.

Dillon Wood runs every first consultation in person, so you are dealing with the person accountable for the result rather than a closer.

That confidence is built block by block here. We have remodeled cottages, bungalows, and greystones across Roscoe Village, from the brick workers' cottages along Wolcott, Hoyne, and Oakley to the bungalows near Hamlin Park and the loft conversions on Roscoe Street, including kitchen remodeling, bathroom remodeling, and full home renovations. We know what the original plaster, wiring, and plumbing in these homes tend to be hiding.

Services We Provide in your neighborhood

Kitchen Remodeling in Roscoe Village

Roscoe Village kitchens sit at the rear of the home, often hemmed in by a pantry, a back stair, and a porch door that limit what can change, so we start by reading what the structure permits before any finishes are chosen.

Our kitchen remodeling opens walls where the structure allows, relocates plumbing and electrical, and installs cabinetry, stone counters, tile backsplashes, and appliances, adding storage where space is tight.

Bathroom Remodeling in Roscoe Village

The older homes here keep their surprises in the bathroom: cast-iron stacks, undersized electrical, out-of-square floors, and tile substrates patched many times over. We open it and rebuild on a sound base rather than tiling over the trouble.

With living space below, we make waterproofing the priority, and our bathroom remodeling sets pan and membrane to spec before adding curbless showers, soaking tubs, double vanities, and heated floors.

Whole Home and Historic Home Renovations

Roscoe Village holds one of the strongest stocks of single-family historic homes on the North Side, and we renovate across it, updating the kitchen, every bathroom, flooring, and layout while keeping the original character. Most projects run 10 to 16 weeks.

A whole home renovation here relies on custom carpentry and built-ins to match period trim, many homes convert a lower level with basement finishing, and loft buildings get full condo renovation.

What Renovating a Roscoe Village Home Actually Looks Like

Which approvals apply comes down to the property. A single-family home or two-flat is mostly a city-permit conversation, while a loft conversion or condo can add a board or association sign-off and its own insurance terms. We flag which applies before work begins and prepare the paperwork.

A Chicago permit typically applies whenever the work involves plumbing, electrical, or structure. We advise when yours is required and coordinate the pull-through, accounting for a 2 to 4 week review from day one.
