Kitchen, bath, and basement remodels need a Lake Zurich permit
The Village of Lake Zurich lists remodeling of kitchens, baths, basements and similar spaces among the common residential projects that require a building permit, along with additions, interior and structural demolition, plumbing alterations, electrical work such as new receptacles, switches, and panel changes, and new or replacement windows and doors. Applications can be emailed to the permit department, which the village calls the fastest way to start, or obtained and submitted in person at the Community Services Facility on Telser Road.
The village publishes approximate processing times: about 15 business days for residential interior construction, about 25 for a new addition, and 7 to 15 for each later plan review. It recommends applying well before the project starts because involved projects often need changes to meet code. Once approved, a building permit is good for a full year.
Registration, inspections, and work hours
All contractors and subcontractors must be registered with the Village of Lake Zurich before performing any work, and the permit application should carry full information on each contractor. Electrical contractors submit a copy of their license, and plumbing contractors submit their state registrations plus a letter of intent with each permit application. The village posts a list of currently registered contractors so homeowners can check.
Inspections are handled for the village by Lake County’s Planning, Building and Development Department under an intergovernmental agreement. They run Monday through Friday between 8:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m., must be booked 48 hours ahead by 1:00 p.m., need the permit number, and cannot be scheduled for the same day. Construction is allowed from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. on weekdays and 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday, and it is not permitted on Sunday.
Getting a Lake Zurich estimate from ADS

It begins with a free in-home visit to measure and review the space, then a written estimate that separates the electrical, plumbing, and structural work the village reviews from finish selections. ADS pulls the permits and schedules inspections, allowing for the 48-hour booking window. Knowing your target start date helps set a realistic order of work.

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.
