We work seamlessly with interior designers throughout the North Shore. If you've already hired a designer for your Highland Park home, we execute their vision with precision and craftsmanship.

How We Turn Ideas Into Stunning Kitchens
An Explanation of North Shore Kitchen Remodeling Costs
Kitchen remodeling costs in Highland Park, Lake Forest, Winnetka, and Glencoe vary significantly based on project scope, material selections, and space size. Our North Shore kitchen projects typically range from $25,000 to $200,000+, with most homeowners investing between $50,000 and $95,000 for a complete kitchen transformation.
Several factors influence your kitchen remodeling investment:
- Project scope: A cosmetic refresh, only focusing on updating countertops, backsplash, and cabinet finishes while maintaining the existing layout, is significantly cheaper than a complete renovation involving layout changes, plumbing relocation, and structural modifications. Opening kitchens to adjacent rooms by removing load-bearing walls requires engineering, permits, and specialized labor that increases costs.
- Kitchen size: Galley and L-shaped kitchens require less cabinetry, countertop square footage, and tile than expansive U-shaped kitchens with large islands. However, compact kitchens often have complex design challenges that need creative solutions and specialized expertise.
- Material quality: Builder-grade materials deliver functional results at lower price points, while custom cabinetry, exotic stone countertops, European fixtures, and premium tile are more expensive but create truly distinctive spaces. Our exclusive European tile collection includes options at multiple price tiers, allowing Lincolnshire and Riverwoods homeowners to balance budget with design aspirations.
- Appliance selections: Entry-level appliance packages cost $5,000-8,000, mid-range packages run $10,000-20,000, while luxury brands like Sub-Zero, Wolf, and Miele often exceed $30,000-50,000. Professional-grade ranges and built-in refrigeration significantly impact total investment.
- Structural modifications: Projects requiring load-bearing wall removal, window additions, plumbing stack relocations, or mechanical system upgrades add complexity and cost. It’s common for older North Shore homes to reveal hidden issues during demolition, such as outdated plumbing, inadequate electrical service, or water damage requiring remediation.
Kitchen Remodeling Investment Tiers

We work within your existing footprint, minimizing plumbing and electrical changes while significantly improving aesthetics. Typical timeline: 3-5 weeks.
- Mid-range kitchen remodel ($50,000-$95,000): Our most popular option for North Shore homeowners includes new semi-custom or custom cabinetry, quartz or granite countertops, quality appliances, extensive tile backsplashes, new flooring throughout, updated plumbing and electrical, and structural modifications like removing short walls or adding windows. This tier transforms 1990s-2000s kitchens with contemporary styling and improved functionality. Typical timeline: 6-10 weeks.

Transforming Kitchens in the Heart of the North Shore
Kitchen RemodelingFAQ
How much does kitchen remodeling cost in Chicago?
Chicago kitchen remodeling projects typically range from $35,000 to $125,000, depending on the scope, materials, and layout changes. Chicago kitchen renovations often lean toward the higher end due to custom cabinetry and premium finishes, while Wilmette kitchen remodels can vary based on home size and existing infrastructure. We provide detailed, transparent estimates during your free consultation that break down costs for cabinetry, countertops, appliances, and labor specific to your vision and budget.

Can I use my kitchen during a remodeling project in Chicago?
Chicago area kitchen remodeling requires strategic planning to minimize disruption to your daily routine. Most Chicago families set up temporary cooking stations in adjacent rooms while we work in phases to maintain some kitchen functionality. We coordinate delivery schedules, protect your home's other areas with dust barriers, and often recommend keeping your refrigerator accessible in a nearby space. The key is communication—we'll walk you through exactly what to expect each day.

What's the timeline for kitchen renovation?
Chicago kitchen remodeling projects typically take 6-12 weeks from demo to final walkthrough, though custom millwork or structural changes can extend timelines. The first week involves demolition and rough electrical/plumbing work, followed by 3-4 weeks of installation (flooring, cabinetry, countertops), and final weeks for finish work, appliance installation, and final inspections. Weather rarely affects interior work, but material deliveries and permit approvals can influence scheduling.
Do Chicago kitchen remodels require permits?
Chicago kitchen renovations require permits for electrical, plumbing, and structural modifications, while simple cosmetic updates typically don't. We handle all permit applications for Chicago kitchen remodeling projects and maintain relationships with local building departments to expedite approvals. Moving walls, relocating plumbing, or upgrading electrical panels always require permits, and we ensure all work meets current Chicago-area building codes for safety and resale value.
Which kitchen layout works best for Chicago homes?
Wilmette kitchen designs often benefit from open-concept layouts that connect to family rooms, maximizing both cooking and entertaining space. L-shaped layouts work well in many Chicago homes, providing efficient work triangles between sink, stove, and refrigerator. Islands are incredibly popular in Chicago kitchen remodels, offering additional prep space, storage, and casual seating — though we'll recommend the optimal configuration based on your home's architecture and lifestyle needs.
What cabinet styles are popular for Chicago kitchens?
Chicago kitchen cabinetry trends currently favor clean, transitional styles that blend traditional warmth with contemporary functionality. Shaker-style doors remain timeless for Chicago kitchen renovations, while flat-panel designs suit more modern aesthetics. We typically recommend soft-close hinges, full-extension drawers, and interior organizing systems regardless of door style. Custom cabinetry allows perfect integration with your home's existing millwork and proportions.
How do I choose countertops for my Chicago kitchen remodel?
Chicago kitchen countertops must balance durability, maintenance, and aesthetic appeal for busy family life. Quartz surfaces are extremely popular in Chicago kitchens due to their non-porous nature and consistent patterns, while natural granite offers unique veining that many Chicago homeowners prefer. We'll show you full slabs in our showroom and explain the pros and cons of each material, including maintenance requirements and how they pair with your chosen cabinetry and backsplash.
