How Glencoe reviews remodeling permits
The Village of Glencoe Development Services Department handles building permits, and since January 2025 the village has contracted with SAFEbuilt for building plan reviews and inspections. New applications must be submitted through the village’s Citizen Self Service portal. The building permit application covers additions and renovations that include plumbing and electrical work, as well as new or replacement AC units, HVAC, water heaters, and generators.
For an interior renovation, the plans or application should clearly state that there is no structure expansion and no new gross floor area, or include gross floor area calculations. Most residential additions require the gross floor area calculations packet and building elevations with the setback plane. The application also asks for a copy of the contractor agreement or proposal to establish construction cost, and contractor licenses must be submitted again for each individual permit. Building permits expire 15 months after issuance.
Hours, inspections, and site rules
Glencoe posts construction hours of 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday and 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturdays, with no construction on Sundays or six listed holidays. Building and plumbing inspections are scheduled with SAFEbuilt, and additions and remodels include a rough plumbing cross connection inspection. Construction, silt, and tree fencing can be required for additions at the Village Engineer’s discretion. Changes that alter impervious area or drainage call for site development plans prepared by a licensed professional engineer or certified land surveyor. The Preservation Commission reviews proposed alterations or additions to landmark properties, while houses listed on the village survey without landmark status are not subject to additional restrictions.

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.
