What We Do
Kitchen Services
Custom Cabinetry
Full cabinet replacement or refacing. We work with solid wood, plywood box, and soft-close hardware in any finish. Door style, pull style, and interior organizers are all part of the conversation. We measure before ordering so nothing needs to be shimmed or trimmed on site.
Countertops & Surfaces
Quartz, granite, marble, and butcher block. Templated and installed with matching backsplash edge profiles. We handle the seams where slabs meet at corners so the joint is tight and consistent across the full run.
Backsplash & Tile
Subway, mosaic, and large-format tile. We handle layout, grout, and waterproofing behind ranges and sinks. Layout lines are snapped before the first tile goes up so rows stay level from one wall to the next.
Fixtures & Appliances
Faucet and sink swap, appliance pull-out, and under-cabinet lighting rough-in coordinated with your electrician. We confirm rough-in dimensions match your fixtures before demo so the install day goes cleanly.
Full Kitchen Renovation
Demo, layout adjustment, rough-in coordination, and finish work from a single point of contact with over ten years on Chicago's North Shore.
A kitchen remodel means looking behind walls and under floors before tile or cabinetry goes in. We assess the actual condition during the site visit, not mid-demo. Older homes on Chicago's North Shore often carry surprises. Original plumbing in the wrong spot. A load-bearing wall that shifts the layout. None of that is a deal-breaker. It just gets priced honestly from the start. Some jobs need a permit. We tell you which yours is before work starts.
The Process
How It Works
Complimentary On-Site Estimate
We walk through your kitchen, take measurements, and give you a written estimate with material options. We check cabinet placement, plumbing locations, and any structural walls you might want to open up. Older kitchens often have quirks that only show up during a site visit. We factor those in from the start, so the written scope we hand you is accurate, not a rough guess that grows once demo begins.
Design & Material Selection
We help you pick cabinets, countertops, and tile that fit your budget and style, then order materials with confirmed lead times. Cabinet door styles, countertop slab options, grout colors. We walk you through the choices that actually affect the final look, not every option in the catalog. Once selections are locked in, we place orders and give you a firm start date based on when materials arrive.
Build & Clean Finish
Demo, install, and finish completed on schedule. We protect adjacent rooms with dust barriers before demo begins and remove all debris as each phase wraps. Cabinets go in first, then countertops, then tile, then trim. Each trade follows the one before it so there is no waiting around. We leave the kitchen broom-clean and ready to use the day we wrap up.

Common Questions
FAQ
- Most full renovations run 3 to 6 weeks depending on cabinet lead times and whether we are moving plumbing or electrical. Countertop-only swaps are usually done in a few days. Full gut renovations involving layout changes take longer. We give you a timeline in the written estimate before you commit, so you know when your kitchen goes out of service and when it comes back.
- We tell you which of your jobs need a permit before work starts. Cosmetic work like cabinet replacement and countertop swaps typically does not require a permit. Moving a gas line, adding electrical circuits, or relocating plumbing usually does. We confirm permit requirements for your municipality during the estimate. If a permit is needed, we walk you through what the process looks like so there are no surprises.
- Yes. We install customer-supplied materials. Bring your own appliances, cabinetry, or tile and we handle the install. We review product specs before the job starts to flag any clearance or compatibility issues in advance. If something needs a modification to fit correctly, we tell you that before demo day, not after. One thing to keep in mind: our workmanship warranty covers the installation, not the materials themselves.
- We work throughout Chicago's North Shore, including Highland Park, Lake Forest, Winnetka, Glencoe, and Wilmette. We also serve Kenosha and Pleasant Prairie in Southern Wisconsin. If you are outside those areas, call (773) 216-7591.
We are happy to confirm whether we cover your zip code and discuss the job before committing to a site visit.
