Kitchen remodels for Kenilworth homes

Kenilworth, founded by Joseph Sears in 1889, is a small lakefront village known for its early 20th-century houses, including work by architect George Maher. Homes with this kind of history call for remodels that respect the original details while updating how the rooms work. 123 Remodeling is a Chicago-based design-build firm in business since 2008, with a North Shore office in Northfield. Our designers plan the layout, cabinets, countertops and lighting, and our licensed contractors build it, so you work with one company from start to finish.

Planning a kitchen remodel in Kenilworth

New cabinets and counters are often straightforward, but moving plumbing or electrical, or removing a wall, usually needs a permit from the Village of Kenilworth. We handle permits as part of your project, along with any condo or homeowners association approvals your home requires.

The work done was top-notch. We were worried since it's our first large rehab since we bought the home, but it was a fantastic and stress-free experience, and their employees are pros. Their project manager helped us with design, cabinet, and appliance selection. Her crew worked steadily and with attention to detail. It is incredible to have such a beautiful kitchen straight from the magazine that far exceeded all the hopes we had. Thank you so much! Kellie S., Kenilworth, IL. Rated 4.8 by our customers.

Kitchen 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 Kenilworth?

It depends on the scope. If you keep your appliances and floors and update only the cabinets and counters, a medium-sized kitchen 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 the Chicago area 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 Kenilworth?

It depends on the work. Cosmetic updates may not need one, but plumbing, electrical and structural changes usually do. Permits in Kenilworth go through the local building department, and we handle them as part of your project. If your home is in a condo or homeowners association, its board may also need to approve the work.
