Your Home Remodeling Contractor in Des Plaines, Illinois
Des Plaines is mostly a post-war suburb of 1950s and 60s ranches, split-levels, and mid-century cottages near O’Hare. Their kitchens were built small and closed off, and opening them up is most of what we do here.
Navigating Des Plaines Permits
Kitchen remodels in Des Plaines that touch plumbing, electrical, or structure need a permit from the City's Building Division at 1420 Miner Street. We handle the application and inspections for you.

Frequently Asked Questions
What kinds of kitchens do you remodel most in Des Plaines?
Most Des Plaines kitchens we work on are in 1950s and ’60s ranches, split-levels, and mid-century cottages where the kitchen was built small and closed off. The most common project is opening it to the family room and rebuilding for an island, real storage, and modern flow.
Do I need a permit to remodel my kitchen in Des Plaines?
Yes — kitchen remodels that touch plumbing, electrical, or structure need a permit from the City of Des Plaines Building Division at 1420 Miner Street. We handle the application, plan review, and inspections so you don’t have to.
Can I open the wall in my Des Plaines ranch or split-level kitchen?
Usually yes, but split-levels and ranches often have load-bearing walls tied to the mid-century framing. We confirm what’s structural and size a proper beam before anything comes down.
How much does a kitchen remodel cost in Des Plaines?
Most Des Plaines kitchen remodels run between roughly $35,000 and $75,000 depending on cabinets, layout changes, and whether we’re moving plumbing or walls. We give you a fixed, itemized number before any work starts.
My Des Plaines home is from the 1960s — what should I expect behind the walls?
Many Des Plaines homes still have original wiring, cast-iron drains, or an undersized electrical panel. When we open the kitchen we show you what’s there and tell you straight what’s worth updating while the walls are open.
Does Des Plaines flooding affect a kitchen remodel?
It can near the Des Plaines River, where backflow and moisture are real concerns. For kitchens we check drainage and venting, and if your home sits in a flood-prone area we plan for it — it matters even more for basements and additions.
How long does a kitchen remodel take in Des Plaines?
Plan on about 6 to 10 weeks of construction, plus a few weeks up front for design and the City of Des Plaines permit. Older homes can add time if we uncover outdated wiring or plumbing, and we flag that early.
Will a kitchen remodel add value to my Des Plaines home?
Yes — the closed-off original kitchens in Des Plaines ranches and split-levels feel dated to buyers. A well-built, open kitchen both helps the home sell and makes daily life better while you’re there.
