In Bannockburn, larger projects start with architectural review
The Village of Bannockburn says larger projects such as additions, patios, pergolas, outdoor kitchens, generators, and fences require Architectural Review Commission or Plan Commission and Zoning Board of Appeals approval before a permit application is submitted. A building permit is still required after those approvals. The village outsources plan review and inspections and has an intergovernmental agreement with the City of Lake Forest to provide plan reviews and perform inspections.
Inside the house, the village’s permit list covers building or removing interior walls, enlarging doors or windows, attic dormers, and replacing bathroom fixtures or kitchen cabinets even in their existing locations. All electrical work, including new outlets or recessed lights, requires a permit, and electricians must hold a current license issued in the greater metropolitan Chicago area. Plumbers and roofers must be licensed by the State of Illinois. An interior painting, tile, or wallpaper project on its own does not need a permit. Residential interior alteration permits can now be filed through the village’s online portal.
From approval to final inspection
Permit and construction security fees are set during review and paid before the permit is released. The owner then picks up the permit placard and submits a construction security agreement. The permit must be posted and approved plans kept at the work site at all times. Changes to approved plans go back to the Building Department for review, and any change of contractor must be reported with current licenses. Once final inspections pass, the village processes a Certificate of Occupancy to close the project. Construction hours are 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Monday through Friday, and weekend or holiday work needs Building Commissioner approval requested at least 72 hours ahead.

Yes. The Village of Bannockburn's permit list covers replacing bathroom fixtures or kitchen cabinets even in their existing locations, along with building or removing interior walls and enlarging doors or windows. All electrical work, including new outlets or recessed lights, also requires a permit. Interior painting, tile, or wallpaper alone does not.

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 one project lead coordinates every trade, so the schedule doesn't stall between steps.
-
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.
