How an Arlington Heights interior remodel gets permitted
The Village of Arlington Heights lists a specific permit type, Alteration, Remodel, Repair – Residential, for interior remodeling such as a kitchen, bathroom, or basement. Applications go through the village’s Civic Access Portal. The village’s guide for this permit says the property owner usually has to be listed as a contact, which means the owner creates a portal account too, and every contractor on the permit needs a portal account and a valid contractor license.
The same guide names three required documents. They are a contractor’s proposal describing the work and its cost, construction plans that are dimensioned and drawn to scale, and the Tax Assessor Supplemental Information form. Plans must be uploaded as one compiled file rather than separate sheets, and a sealed or notarized plumber’s letter of intent may be added when plumbing is involved. Once an application is in review, the village’s typical time frame for an initial review or a revision is five business days.
Scope first, then drawings and the proposal
ADS offers kitchen, bathroom, basement, living-room, hallway, and home-addition remodeling in Arlington Heights. The process starts with a free visit to measure the rooms and talk through the changes you want. From that visit we prepare a written estimate that separates finishes from plumbing, electrical, and framing work, the same kind of detail the village asks a contractor’s proposal to describe.
Timing matters after approval as well. Arlington Heights says residential building permits are valid for one year from issuance, and a permit expires if substantial work has not started within six months. The village publishes construction hours of 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. on weekdays and 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday. The ADS portfolio includes two Arlington Heights bathroom remodels, and photos from them appear further down this page.
Useful to gather before the visit
- A list of the rooms, fixtures, and walls you want to change.
- Photos of finishes, tile, or cabinetry you like.
- Your target timing, so the permit window lines up with the work.
- Any condominium or association rules that apply to your home.
Requirements depend on the exact scope. Review the Village of Arlington Heights permits and licensing page and confirm the current checklist with the Building & Life Safety Department before work begins.

Five questions every homeowner asks first.
Plain answers — the kind we'd give a neighbor over coffee, not the ones written for a brochure.
Have a different question? Ask during your free estimate →-
How much does a typical kitchen or bathroom remodel cost?
Bathroom remodels in our area typically run $18,000–$45,000. Mid-range kitchens are usually $35,000–$80,000 — full custom kitchens can reach $120,000+. We give you a detailed estimate in writing after the in-home visit, so you see the numbers line by line before signing anything.
-
How long will my project take?
A bathroom is usually 3–5 weeks from demo to final walkthrough. A standard kitchen runs 6–8 weeks. Basement finishes are 5–8 weeks. We give you a written schedule before we start — and because we use our own in-house crew, we don't lose days waiting on a subcontractor to show up.
-
Do you handle the permits and inspections?
Yes — every time. We pull the permits, schedule the inspections, and meet with the inspectors. You don't deal with the village. We handle Buffalo Grove, Arlington Heights, Lombard, Glen Ellyn, Wheaton, and the rest of our service area.
-
Can we live in the house during the remodel?
Almost always, yes. We seal off the work zone with plastic, set up a temporary kitchen if we're remodeling yours, vacuum daily, and do a deep clean at the end. Most clients stay in the home for the full project — we plan the sequence around your daily life.
-
How do payments work?
A small deposit at signing, then progress payments tied to milestones (rough-in complete, drywall complete, final walkthrough). You never pre-pay for work that hasn't started. Final payment is only released after you sign off on the final walkthrough — not before.
