“…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.”
Yes. In North Center, any kitchen project with structural changes, new electrical, or moved plumbing needs a Chicago Department of Buildings permit. We pull and manage the city permits, which take longer than suburban towns, so we plan for it.
Most North Center kitchen remodels run from about $32,000 for a mid-range update to $95,000 for a full open-concept renovation. We give you a fixed, line-item budget after design.
In North Center’s two-flats, cottages, and bungalows, the kitchen wall is usually load-bearing and carries the floors above. We confirm framing at a small inspection point and engineer a beam before removing it.
In North Center’s older homes we find knob-and-tube wiring and galvanized lines, while gut-rehabs can hide earlier shortcuts. We flag anything during demo and fold the upgrade into the plan rather than springing a change order.
Often yes once a wall comes down, and the larger rehabbed homes usually have room for a generous island. We model it in your space first.
Most North Center kitchen remodels take about five to nine weeks plus Chicago permit time. We give you a schedule and handle the city process up front.
