Have questions about home renovations, remodeling, or working with a contractor in Chicago? Below are answers to some of the most common questions we receive from homeowners across Chicago and the North Shore.
A kitchen remodel in Lincoln Square or Ravenswood typically ranges from $25,000 to $75,000 depending on scope, materials, and whether structural changes are involved. Most homeowners in these neighborhoods are working with older Chicago kitchens that need layout updates, new cabinetry, countertops, and plumbing or electrical upgrades. Get an Eric, LLC provides free estimates so you know exactly what to expect before any work begins.
Costs vary based on the size of your kitchen, the condition of existing systems, and your finish selections. Older Ravenswood two-flats and Lincoln Square greystones sometimes require additional work behind the walls, and we factor that into our estimates upfront rather than surprising you midproject. Contact us for a free kitchen remodeling estimate.
When hiring a general contractor in Chicago, look for a licensed and insured contractor with verified local reviews, clear written estimates, and experience working on older Chicago homes. A good general contractor should coordinate all trades including plumbing, electrical, and carpentry, communicate consistently throughout the project, and provide realistic timelines before work starts. Checking Google reviews from homeowners in your neighborhood is a reliable starting point.
Get an Eric, LLC is a licensed general contractor based in Ravenswood with a 4.5-star Google rating from homeowners across Lincoln Square, Lincoln Park, Andersonville, and the North Shore. We provide written estimates, clear project timelines, and consistent communication from first contact through final walkthrough.
A basement remodel in an older Chicago home typically takes six to twelve weeks depending on the scope of work, the condition of the existing foundation, and whether a bathroom or egress window is being added. Ravenswood and Lincoln Square homes often have stone foundations and older drainage systems that require additional assessment before framing begins, which we account for during the estimate process.
Simpler basement finishing projects with drywall, flooring, and lighting can move faster. Full basement renovations that include a bathroom, bar area, or home theater addition take longer due to plumbing and electrical rough-in work. Get an Eric, LLC handles the full scope of basement remodeling in Ravenswood, Lincoln Square, and throughout Chicago.

Yes. Get an Eric, LLC works on condo renovation projects throughout Lincoln Park, Gold Coast, and Chicago’s North Side.
