Chicago bungalow kitchen remodel cost
Read this first: The figures come from 190 City of Chicago renovation/alteration permits issued 2025-10-16 to 2026-10-14, picked because the work description mentions a kitchen or bath and residential use. Reported cost is what the applicant wrote on the permit, which may not be what the job cost. These permits lean toward large or structural jobs: many small kitchen and bath updates use express permits or need none, so they are under-represented. Treat the numbers as context, not a quote.
Only 0 permits in our 12-month sample mention "bungalow" in the description. Most permits don't record the building style, so we can't publish a reliable bungalow-specific median from permit data yet.
Common bungalow factors: small galley kitchens, plaster walls, older wiring, and rear-porch or pantry space that can be opened up (which usually means structural work and a standard permit). See the citywide kitchen figures, and submit your bungalow project to help build this page.
