Lombard permits updates to existing homes
The Village of Lombard requires a building permit for all new structures and for updates to existing structures. Its permit guide lists residential alterations and renovations such as additions, electrical alterations, and plumbing among the work that needs a permit. Replacing interior doors and fixtures at the existing size with no structural change does not require a permit, although that work may still need to meet village standards.
An application may be filed by the property owner, a general contractor, or a contractor, and all contractor requirements must be on file with the Building Division before the permit is issued. Drawings must be to scale, and the location of the work should be highlighted on the plat of survey. For projects over $10,000 in construction valuation, Lombard requires drawings signed and sealed by a licensed Illinois architect or structural engineer. The village also notes that the property owner is ultimately responsible for making sure the right permits are in place.
Timing around Lombard’s busy season
Lombard reviews plans on a first come, first served basis. The village estimates about two to three weeks for new buildings or large additions and says review during peak construction season, from late spring through the beginning of winter, can take four to six weeks. Once issued, a permit is valid for one year and may be extended depending on the circumstances. Permit fees for alterations and remodeling are based on plan review fees, the total construction cost, and the value of the electrical, plumbing, and mechanical portions, and they are paid when the permit is ready for pickup.
Local projects and how ADS starts
ADS offers kitchen, bathroom, basement, living-room, hallway, and home-addition remodeling in Lombard. The ADS portfolio includes Lombard kitchen, bathroom, staircase, and fireplace wall projects, and photos from several of them appear further down this page. For a new project, we measure the space during a free in-home visit and prepare a written estimate with the trade work itemized, which is useful when a permit fee depends on the value of each trade.
- If your home is part of a condominium or homeowners association, check with the board first, since Lombard notes it may require its own approvals.
- Locate your plat of survey.
- Share your preferred start window, especially for spring or summer work.

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.
