Kitchen and bath remodels in Barrington start with drawings
The Village of Barrington’s Development Services Department includes a Building Division that helps residents comply with state and local construction codes. Its permit page treats kitchen and bath remodels as interior alterations, which call for a detailed written description of the work and detailed construction plans. When plumbing will be altered or extended, the village’s submittal guidelines ask for a Water Service Review form with the permit application.
Permits run through the village’s online permit and contractor registration portal, where submittal, issuance, and payment can all be completed. Every contractor and subcontractor on the permit must be registered with the village before the permit is issued. The village posts construction hours of 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Monday through Friday and 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday, and inspections must be scheduled at least 24 hours in advance.
Additions and historic properties take longer to plan
An addition submittal includes the existing plat of survey, impervious surface calculations, and stamped architectural plans that show floor area, lot coverage, setbacks, and daylight plane. If the addition goes deeper than the existing structure, the village requires a soil boring with seasonally adjusted water table data. Exterior changes in the Historic Overlay District need a Certificate of Appropriateness in addition to the building permit, and the village says that review generally takes 60 to 90 days. The Architectural Review Commission has no jurisdiction over interiors.
One more early check: the village notes that in most cases a five-digit property address is located outside the Village of Barrington, so confirm which jurisdiction issues permits for your home.

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.
