Yes. Maya Construction Group holds Chicago General Contractor License #TCG039361 and provides full-service permit management. we handle all structural drawings, city applications, and inspections with the Chicago Department of Buildings.

Can I live in my home during a major kitchen or bathroom renovation?
In most cases, yes. We plan our remodels to minimize disruption by maintaining access to essential rooms and utilizing professional dust barriers.
Our crews perform daily on-site cleanups to keep your home safe for your family.
