Chicago Remodel Ledger

Two-flat & greystone bathroom remodel cost

Read this first: The figures come from 190 City of Chicago renovation/alteration permits issued 2025-10-16 to 2026-10-14, picked because the work description mentions a kitchen or bath and residential use. Reported cost is what the applicant wrote on the permit, which may not be what the job cost. These permits lean toward large or structural jobs: many small kitchen and bath updates use express permits or need none, so they are under-represented. Treat the numbers as context, not a quote.

21 kitchen/bath permits in the sample mention a two-flat or 2-unit building. The median reported cost was $70,000.

Two-flats often renovate both units together or convert to a single-family home, which pushes reported costs well above a single bathroom job.
