Condo Remodeling
Chicago
Condo renovations require a contractor who understands HOA rules, building management coordination, freight elevator scheduling, and neighbor-considerate work hours — we've done it all across Chicago's high-rises and vintage buildings.
Chicago’s Trusted
Condo Remodeling Contractor
Condo remodeling is fundamentally different from single-family home work. Every building has its own rules — noise ordinances, approved contractor lists, material staging restrictions, insurance requirements, and board approval processes. We navigate all of it so you don't have to. Lee & Sam is a licensed general contractor serving Chicago, the suburbs, and Northwest Indiana.
Our team brings 25+ years of construction expertise to every condo project. We coordinate directly with building management, carry the insurance levels most buildings require, and schedule all work within your building's approved hours.
Serving all 55 Chicago neighborhoods — from Lincoln Park to Hyde Park — plus the North Shore, Western and South suburbs, and Northwest Indiana.
Everything Your Condo
Renovation Needs
HOA & Board Coordination
We prepare and submit all documentation required by your building's HOA or condo board — insurance certificates, scope descriptions, and architectural review submissions.
Kitchen Renovation
Full kitchen remodels within condo-specific constraints — we work around building material delivery rules, staging areas, and noise windows without compromising quality.
Bathroom Renovation
Tile, fixtures, vanities, and plumbing — all coordinated with your building's plumbing stack access requirements and approved shut-off windows.
Flooring
Hardwood, LVP, and tile installation with proper underlayment to meet your building's sound transmission requirements between floors.
Electrical & Lighting
Panel work, recessed lighting, and fixture upgrades coordinated with building electrical systems and approved electricians where required by your building.
Permits & Inspections
We handle all city permits in addition to building-specific approval processes. Two separate systems — we manage both simultaneously.
