Buildings require contractors to carry and file a COI.

Work-hour & elevator rules
Expect set hours and elevator reservations; plan extra time.
The process
What to expect from a Chicago condo remodel
Approvals first
Board, COI, and building rules up front
Condo projects add a layer most homes don't: before any work starts, you need board-approved plans, a contractor's certificate of insurance, and agreement on work hours and elevator use. From there it follows the normal remodel path for your kitchen, bath, or full unit...etc.
Value
Quiet, waterproofed finishes sell
A well-done condo remodel — especially kitchens and baths — adds real resale value in Chicago's condo market, and modern, quiet, waterproofed finishes are exactly what buyers look for.
