Investor & Multi-Unit
Renovation

Chicago's two-flat, three-flat, and multi-unit building stock is one of the city's greatest assets — and one of its most demanding renovation challenges. We work with landlords and real estate investors to renovate, reposition, and maintain income-producing properties across Chicagoland.

Between-tenant renovation and make-ready services — paint, flooring, appliances, repairs, and cleaning completed quickly to minimize your vacancy window.

Strategic renovations designed to maximize rent premiums and property value — kitchen and bath updates, in-unit laundry installation, and building system upgrades with clear ROI.

Greystone & Vintage Building Restoration

Chicago greystone and masonry building renovation — exterior restoration, unit updates, common area improvements, and mechanical system upgrades.

Building Systems & Mechanicals

Boiler replacements, electrical panel upgrades, plumbing stack repairs, and other building-wide mechanical projects that protect your investment and keep tenants comfortable.

Our Investor Renovation
Process

01

Property Walk & Scope

We walk every unit and all common areas, identify renovation needs, and develop a phased scope that balances renovation quality with your investment timeline and budget.

02

Phased Planning

We sequence work to keep occupied units undisturbed where possible — renovating vacant units first, then sequencing remaining units as tenants turn over.

03

Execution

Our crew moves efficiently through units, coordinating all trades to minimize disruption and vacancy time. We provide weekly progress updates and photos throughout.

04

Close-Out & Documentation

We provide complete close-out documentation including all permits, inspection sign-offs, and warranty information — everything you need for your records, lender, or eventual sale.
