Converting Single Family into a Multi-Family

[Anthony H.]

Hello,

Looking for a contractor with experience converting a single-family home into a multi-family. Has anyone had experience doing this? It would convert the basement of a 3K-4K sqft home into a garden unit. Total units at the end of the project should be two. 

If there are other creative ways to do this, would love to share ideas.

Best,

Anthony

@John Warren thanks for the mention

@Anthony H. John is correct that the location of the property will make all the difference. Depending on the Zoning Designation within the city/village, this may or may not be a simple request. Some villages are now beginning to allow these types of conversions; however, it still varies on a case-by-case basis. The City of Chicago has a "Pilot Program" for ADU Conversion Units; however, it is still limited to certain boundaries within the City.

Feel free to reach out directly if you would like to discuss further or would like for us to take a look at your property specifically and give you some guidance regarding moving things forward.
