“…I felt truly heard and valued during our conversation. I came to your company with questions about our projects, and Greg provided thoughtful, flexible scenarios and options to help us achieve our goals. He genuinely seemed to care about me and my family as real people.”
Almost all of them are in converted lofts or high-rise condos. The most common project is opening up or reconfiguring a loft kitchen — working around exposed brick, timber, and concrete to add an island, storage, and a better layout.
Yes — kitchen remodels that touch plumbing, electrical, or structure need a permit from the Chicago Department of Buildings at 121 N. LaSalle Street, and your building or association will require its own approval. We handle the city permit and coordinate with building management.
Yes — that’s most of what we do here. Exposed brick, timber columns, and concrete ceilings limit where we can run plumbing and venting, so we design the layout around them and keep the loft character intact.
Yes. Most Fulton River District buildings require approval of your plans, set work hours, and have rules for elevator use, water shutoffs, and protecting common areas. We line all of that up before demo so the job runs smoothly.
Most kitchen remodels here run from roughly $45,000 to $95,000 or more, depending on finishes and how much we’re moving plumbing within a concrete building. We give you a fixed, itemized number before any work starts.
Sometimes, but concrete floors and shared stacks limit it. We confirm what’s possible with the building before we promise a layout, and design around the existing plumbing where moving it isn’t practical.
Plan on about 7 to 11 weeks of construction, plus design, the Chicago permit, and building approval. High-rise logistics like elevator scheduling can add time, and we plan for it up front.
Yes — in this market an updated, well-built kitchen is one of the strongest upgrades for resale, and it makes the unit far more livable day to day.
