Your kitchen is the room everybody ends up in, which is a shame if it still looks like it was last updated during the Bulls' first three-peat.
I'm Chris, and for more than 11 years my team has been handling kitchen remodeling Chicago homeowners have been putting off for way too long. There are 27 of us, so you won't be left coordinating a cabinet guy, a tile guy and a demo guy who've never met.
Kitchen Renovation Services We Handle in Chicago
Every kitchen is different, so here's how the work usually breaks down.
Full Kitchen Renovation
For a kitchen renovation Chicago homeowners only plan to do once, we take the room down to the studs when it needs it. New layout, new cabinets, new counters, new flooring. It's the right call when the room works badly, not just when it looks old.
Small Kitchen Remodel
A small kitchen remodel is where most Chicago two-flats and condos live. When you've only got so many square feet, the layout and the storage matter more than anything you can buy from a showroom. We'll look for the wasted space before we talk about the pretty stuff.
Kitchen Cabinets and Countertop Installation
If the bones of the room are fine, new kitchen cabinets and countertop installation can change it without moving a single wall. It's usually the biggest visual change for the money.
Budget Kitchen Renovation
Got a budget kitchen renovation in mind? Tell us the number up front. We'd rather help you spend it where you'll notice than pretend it stretches further than it does.
Condo Kitchen Remodel
A condo kitchen remodel comes with its own rules, including building hours and where the debris can go. Tell us what your building requires, and we'll plan around it.
Kitchen and Bath Remodeling Together
Doing the kitchen and the bathroom at once? Kitchen and bath remodeling on the same schedule means one crew, one start date and one person to call.
What a Kitchen Remodel Costs in Chicago
Your kitchen remodel cost comes down to four things:
- How much is changing. Moving a sink or a wall costs more than replacing what's already there.
- What you pick. Cabinets and counters are usually where the budget goes.
- What's behind the walls. Older Chicago homes can hide old wiring, old plumbing and past repairs nobody bragged about.
- Your building. A condo with elevator rules is a different job than a bungalow with a back door.
Anyone quoting you a price over the phone is guessing. We'll come see it and give you a free estimate. And we won't give you a nice low number, then "discover" extras halfway through.
When a Kitchen Renovation Is the Wrong Fix
Not every ugly kitchen needs a gut job. If your layout works and your cabinets are solid, you might only need new doors, counters and paint. I'll tell you that, even though the bigger job would pay us more. And if the real problem is water damage or a sagging floor, we want to deal with that first. There's no point in setting new cabinets on a problem.
Why Hire Our Kitchen Remodeling Contractors
Most kitchen contractors can show you nice photos. What you really want to know is what happens in week three, when the sink's disconnected and you're washing dishes in the bathroom.
Here's what you get from our kitchen remodeling contractors:
- One crew of our own people, not a string of strangers
- A timeline before we start, and a call from us if it changes
- A clean site every evening, because you still live there
- Straight answers in plain English
We won't tear out your kitchen and disappear for two weeks. I know that sounds like a low bar. Ask around about how often it gets cleared.
Chicago Kitchen Remodel Questions
Can I live at home during a kitchen remodel?
Most people do. We'll talk through a temporary setup for cooking and dishes before we start, so nobody's surprised on day one.
How long does a kitchen remodel take?
It depends on how much is changing, and on when your cabinets and materials arrive. You'll get a timeline before any work starts.
Should I hire kitchen remodelers Chicago homeowners recommend, or buy cabinets myself first?
Talk to us first. Cabinets that were bought before anybody measured the room are one of the most expensive ways to learn about your walls.
Do you handle kitchen renovation in older Chicago homes?
Yes. Older homes are a big part of working here. Crooked walls and strange past repairs don't scare us, but we do want to see them before we quote.
