Do you work on condos and single units in Lake View?

Yes. A large share of our Lake View work is inside individual condos and apartments, including windows and doors, painting and drywall, flooring, and demolition ahead of a remodel.

Can you handle work in a Lake View unit while I am living there?

In most cases yes. We sequence the work room by room, protect finished areas, and clean up daily so the space stays usable while the project moves forward.

I am preparing a Lake View property to sell. Can you help me decide what to do?

That is a common request. We walk the property with you, talk through which updates make the strongest visual difference, and give you a written scope so you can decide what to include.

Serving Lake View, Chicago

Home Improvement Contractor in Lake View, Chicago

Lake View is one of the neighborhoods Green Wave Construction works in most often. The housing here runs from vintage courtyard buildings and greystones to frame two flats and newer construction on the side streets between Southport, Halsted, and the lakefront, and each of those building types asks something different from a contractor.

Local work

Home Improvement in Lake View, Chicago

Whether you are updating a condo you plan to keep for years, preparing a Lake View unit for the market, or finally replacing windows and doors that were never right, we plan the work around the realities of the block: tight parking, shared entries, neighbors on the other side of the wall, and finishes that need to match what is already there.

Every project starts with a walkthrough and a written scope, so you know what is included before anyone shows up with tools. From there you have one point of contact for the whole job.

What We See in Lake View Homes

Vintage windows and original openings

Many Lake View buildings still have original or first-generation replacement windows in openings that are no longer square. We measure each opening individually rather than ordering one size for the whole unit, and we finish casing and trim so new units look intentional rather than dropped in.

Plaster, drywall, and repainting

Older Lake View walls and ceilings often mix original plaster with later drywall patches. We skim, repair, and prime so the surface reads flat under paint instead of showing every past repair once the light hits it.

Flooring across small, connected rooms

Lake View layouts tend to be a series of connected rooms rather than one open floor. Tile, vinyl plank, and hardwood all need thoughtful transitions and layout planning here so the floor runs cleanly from room to room.

Condo and multi unit coordination

In shared buildings we plan material delivery, protection of common areas, and debris removal in advance, which keeps the work moving and keeps the rest of the building on your side.

Green Wave finished my basement and did an unbelievable job. Jackson was very easy to work with as the project manager. Very happy with how things turned out. Would highly recommend working with Green Wave if you are looking for great work and a company that cares about getting the job done right!

I hired Greenwave Construction to renovate my property before selling it, and the results were incredible. They completely transformed the home into a luxury residence, which helped me profit greatly from the investment. I want to thank the team for their excellent communication and top-tier craftsmanship throughout the project!
