Chicago condos ยท HOA experts since 2013HOA experts
Assembly Squad is pre-approved in 300+ Chicago buildings. One design-build team handles your alteration agreement, permits, freight elevator and construction under one fixed-price contract.
Condo remodeling in Chicago is mostly about the building. Before a wall comes down there is an alteration agreement, insurance certificates, elevator bookings and work-hour rules.
Assembly Squad has handled that paperwork since 2013, and today 75% of its completed projects are condominium renovations.
The firm is a licensed design-build general contractor, so one team covers design, permits, materials, construction and the final walkthrough. You meet your designer at the Lincoln Park studio, pick real materials, and get a fixed-price proposal.
Then a dedicated project manager runs the job and sends daily photo updates while you get on with your week.
Gut renovations and single-room updates in high-rises, lofts and greystone conversions. The team prepares alteration agreements, insurance certificates, drawings, neighbor notices and board presentations, then works within building hours. Typical condo budgets run $25,000 to $250,000+, depending on scope.
Custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, new appliances and full layout changes for condos, two-flats and single-family homes. Kitchens are the firm's most requested service, with typical budgets from $25,000 to $150,000+. You see 3D renderings and choose every material before construction starts.
Walk-in shower conversions, custom vanities, heated floors and tile work designed around condo plumbing stacks and building waterproofing rules. Bathroom budgets typically run $15,000 to $55,000. Recent work includes lofts in the West Loop and high-rise units in Lakeshore East.
Family rooms, home offices, wet bars, ADUs and legal rental units, with waterproofing included in the scope. Typical basement budgets run $30,000 to $100,000+. Permits and inspections are part of every project, so you are not left dealing with the city alone.
Complete gut rehabs covering the kitchen, every bathroom, flooring, plumbing and electrical. The team works on Chicago greystones, vintage two-flats, single-family homes and condo conversions, and as an EPA Lead-Safe Certified Firm it can work in pre-1978 homes. Typical budgets start around $85,000.
Since 2024 the firm has offered Illinois-made custom cabinetry for kitchens, baths and built-ins. Lead times run 4 to 6 weeks instead of the 16 weeks the firm saw on imports, with no tariff exposure. Full-size displays are open to see at the Lincoln Park studio.
The firm is pre-approved in more than 300 Chicago buildings and reports zero HOA complaints in 13 years. Alteration agreements, insurance certificates and elevator scheduling are part of every condo job.
You get a detailed estimate within 48 hours and a fixed-price proposal after design. If you ask for a change mid-project, it is priced and signed in writing first.
The 2,500 sq ft showroom at 2315 N Southport Ave holds 500+ cabinet, countertop, tile, hardware and flooring samples, plus free 3D renderings of your project.
License #TGC098779, $2M liability insurance, an A+ BBB rating and a 2-year written workmanship warranty on all Assembly Squad labor.
Viktor Aharon spent more than 22 years in remodeling watching homeowners juggle contractors, chase permit updates and make decisions nobody prepared them for. In 2011 he built the first Assembly Squad as an app to help people plan and manage a renovation.
By 2013 it had become a design-build general contracting company with one rule: one team, one contract, one fixed price. Viktor asks whether you are building a forever home or planning a five or six year stay, then plans the work to balance daily enjoyment with resale value.

After spending months getting our family house ready to sell, the last thing I wanted to do when I bought a Lakeview East condo was manage the extensive renovations myself.
We had an incredible experience working with Assembly Squad Remodeling to remodel our good coast condo in Chicago.
We recently had our entire kitchen replaced by assembly squad.
Assembly Squad does. HOA coordination is included on every condo project: alteration agreements, certificates of insurance, architectural drawings, neighbor notifications and board presentations. The firm is pre-approved in 300+ Chicago buildings and says it has had zero HOA complaints in 13 years. Call (312) 544-9150 to check whether your building is on the list.
The firm publishes typical ranges: $25,000 to $150,000+ for kitchens, $15,000 to $55,000 for bathrooms and $25,000 to $250,000+ for condo remodels, with full condo gut renovations often at the high end. Your exact number comes in a fixed-price proposal after design, and the first estimate is free.
The standard plan runs about twelve weeks. Week one is the consultation and estimate, weeks two to four cover design, HOA paperwork and permits, and construction runs from week four to week twelve. City permit processing typically takes two to three weeks and is built into that schedule.
