Mundelein permits run through BS&A online
The Village of Mundelein takes building permit applications online through BS&A, with separate starting points for homeowners and for contractors. Contractors are required to register with the village, and each registration is valid for 12 months from approval, regardless of when a project begins. The village’s Homeowner Project Guide says a building permit is required for remodeling, additions and basement finishing, and that permit approval typically takes ten business days or less, with a goal of five days or less for minor permits. The village also encourages pre-design meetings for larger projects such as additions.
For basement refinishing, the guide asks for two sets of detailed plans that include all mechanical, electrical and plumbing work. Additions need an electronic set of plans and, when the building footprint changes, a plat of survey showing the addition. Work follows the 2024 International Residential Code, the 2023 National Electrical Code and the 2014 Illinois Plumbing Code, each as amended by Mundelein. Plumbers must provide their Illinois registration, license and a notarized letter of intent.
Floodplain, smoke detectors and energy code
A few Mundelein rules change the design itself. If a home is in the floodplain, the basement cannot be finished and room additions must be elevated to the flood protection elevation. Additions and general remodeling may require added smoke detectors, and any heated or cooled addition, remodel or finished basement must meet the 2024 International Energy Conservation Code with Illinois amendments. Setbacks vary by subdivision, so the village asks you to check with Community Development before designing an addition. Inspections need 48 hours’ notice, and permits expire one year from issue, or at six months if the project has not started.
The ADS estimate process

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.
