Townhouse Remodeling

Complete Townhouse Renovation

Chicago townhouses offer vertical living in prime neighborhoods—but their narrow footprints and multiple levels create design challenges. Stacked rooms can feel disconnected, interior spaces often lack natural light, and circulation between floors may be awkward. Townhouse remodeling optimizes this vertical space through strategic floor plan changes: opening kitchens to rear living areas, installing skylights or light wells, relocating staircases for better flow, and creating logical zones for living, sleeping, and working across three or four levels.

Multi-level renovations require coordinated planning that typical room-by-room updates lack. Mechanical systems run vertically through chase walls; electrical panels serve all floors from one location; plumbing stacks must align between bathrooms. We plan these systems holistically so improvements on one level don't create problems on another. Structural modifications—like removing bearing walls to open floor plans—get engineered properly from the start, with temporary shoring and permanent steel designed together.

Your renovated townhouse will flow naturally between levels with improved circulation and sight lines. We create kitchen and living spaces that work for modern entertaining, primary suites with proper closet and bathroom space, and flexible rooms that adapt as your needs change. The finished home maximizes every square foot of your vertical footprint while maintaining the connected neighborhood location that made you choose a townhouse in the first place.
