Owner-run in Chicago, ILOwner-run Chicago
Dillon Wood brings more than 30 years of remodeling to every condo, townhome and vintage-home bathroom his team builds. You get an itemized proposal and the same in-house tradespeople from demo to final walkthrough.
Wood Contracting handles bathroom remodeling in Chicago for high-rise condos, townhomes and vintage single-family homes. Owner Dillon Wood oversees every job himself, and his own in-house tradespeople do the work instead of rotating subcontractors.
The team pulls the permits, files the HOA paperwork, books the freight elevator and plans around building water shutoffs.
Most bathrooms take 2 to 5 weeks from demolition to completion. Tile is where the crew stands out: reviewers on Google tag tiling more than any other skill, and recent jobs range from a small kids' bath to a pair of fully gutted baths in one condo. About 90 percent of new projects come from referrals and repeat clients.
Cosmetic updates through full gut remodels: walk-in showers, custom tile, floating vanities, waterproofing and all plumbing and electrical. Small condo baths get layouts that make every inch count. The site lists a typical range of $12,000 to $55,000+ depending on scope and finishes.
Custom kitchens for downtown lofts and classic Chicago homes, from cabinet layout to counters and lighting. Most kitchen remodels run 4 to 6 weeks. Dillon's crew handled this South Loop loft, pairing wood-grain upper cabinets with navy lowers and the building's original brick.
Downtown condos bring HOA approvals, work-hour limits, elevator bookings and units below you to protect. Wood Contracting has completed dozens of condo bathroom projects from River North to Gold Coast and manages the building coordination so the job does not stall.
Larger projects that open up floor plans or add living space, managed start to finish by the same team. On this Logan Square job the crew turned a third-floor outdoor patio into conditioned living space wrapped in floor-to-ceiling windows.
Unused basements become family rooms, wet bars and playrooms. The team works through Chicago codes and handles moisture, structural and mechanical issues before finishes go in, as in this Lincoln Park basement with a navy wet bar and built-in media wall.
Built-ins that add storage and character, from bookcases to window seats. In Bucktown the crew framed a fireplace with white shelving and lower cabinets on both sides, and finish carpentry like this shows up in their bathroom and kitchen work as well.
Every consultation starts with Dillon Wood in person, not a salesperson. He oversees each project through the final walkthrough, so the person responsible for the result is the one you talk to.
Each proposal breaks out scope, timeline and cost line by line. A Google reviewer called the team extremely transparent about costs and timeline, and flexible when the schedule had to move.
Wood Contracting holds Illinois general contractor licence TGC105501, is EPA Lead-Safe certified, and carries liability insurance and workers' compensation. The firm lists a BBB A+ rating.
Installation and construction are covered for one year after the final review. Product warranties come from the manufacturers, and any punch-list items are handled during the final walkthrough.
Dillon Wood owns Wood Contracting Chicago and brings more than three decades of remodeling experience to the work. He runs the company as an owner-operated shop: he meets you at the first consultation, oversees the build and keeps communication direct.

For design, Dillon partners with experienced designers including Emily Andersson Design, or works with your own designer. The firm belongs to the Wicker Park Bucktown and Lincoln Park chambers of commerce.

Highly recommend them! They recently replaced my bathroom tile, and the experience was fantastic. They were extremely transparent about costs and timeline. Our project had a moving timeline, and they were flexible and accommodating with the adjustments. Thanks Sarah and Dillon!
We recently hired Wood Contracting to remodel two of our bathrooms, a full bath in hall and a master bath, both completely overhauled, and we couldn't be happier with the results!
We hired Wood Contracting to completely renovate our kids' bathroom. The room is very small and our goal was to create a space that was beautiful and functional.
Most bathrooms take 2 to 5 weeks from demolition to completion, and kitchens usually take 4 to 6 weeks. City permits, when needed, add roughly 2 to 4 weeks of review before work starts. You get a detailed timeline at the free consultation, and the crew works to hold it.
The site lists bathroom remodels from about $12,000 to $55,000+, depending on size and finishes. A powder room update sits at the low end and a primary bath with custom features at the high end. Kitchens generally run $15,000 to $80,000+. Your proposal is itemized so you see where the money goes.
Not usually. Condo work is a large share of the business. The team handles HOA submissions, building coordination, elevator reservations and work-hour rules, and uses waterproofing that protects the units below. One reviewer chose the firm partly because Dillon already knew their building.
Most clients do. The crew contains dust, protects the rest of your home and cleans up every day. Some disruption is unavoidable, especially during a kitchen remodel, but the team plans the work to keep it as small as possible.
Older Chicago buildings can hide water damage, outdated wiring or structural problems. If something turns up during demolition, the team stops to explain your options, prices the repair clearly and moves forward only once you agree. There are no hidden fees added at the end.
