Remodeling questions

How long does it take to remodel a kitchen?

The average kitchen renovation takes six weeks, but it depends on the scope. Changing the layout or removing walls adds significant time. Design and material selection come first, and your project manager will give you a detailed timeframe.

How much does it cost to remodel a kitchen in Chicago?

It depends on the scope. If the appliances stay where they are and the floors don’t change, it can cost around $20,000. Replacing flooring, appliances and backsplash or changing the layout can raise that to $55,000. In 2026, the average kitchen remodel in Chicago costs $32,000.

Do I need an interior designer to remodel a kitchen?

Even if you want to copy a kitchen you saw on Houzz, a professional should plan the cabinet layout, to make the most of your space and still look good. You can make many of the decor choices yourself. Our in-house designers offer interior design as part of our design-build process.

Do you need a permit to remodel a kitchen in Chicago?

It depends on the work. Cosmetic updates may not need one, but plumbing, electrical and structural changes do. Your condo association or building management may also require permits. A permit has to be pulled by a licensed and insured contractor.
