2. Custom 3D Design: We create detailed 3D renderings to visualize the layout and ensure everything fits the way it should.
3. Material Selection: After finalizing the layout, we guide you through selecting materials for cabinets, countertops, backsplashes, and more.
4. Installation: Once the design is approved, we handle ordering and coordinate installation with trusted contractors to bring the vision to life.

Pricing:

Kitchen design services start at $3,000, depending on the scope of the project. Complete kitchen remodels, including design, cabinetry, countertops, and installation, typically range from $12,000 to $40,000 based on material selection and space size.

Materials we offer:

• Wood Cabinets: Maple, oak, cherry, and walnut
• MDF Cabinets: Painted MDF, laminated MDF, and veneer finishes

Wood Cabinets

• Pros: Extremely durable, long-lasting, and adds natural beauty. Wood cabinets can be refinished multiple times to extend their life and keep them looking new. They are available in traditional and contemporary styles.
• Cons: Higher upfront cost, typically ranging from $10,000 to $30,000 for an average-sized kitchen. They can also be prone to warping if not sealed properly.

MDF Cabinets

• Pros: More affordable than wood, resistant to moisture, and provides a smooth surface for painting. MDF is a great option for those looking for a contemporary, sleek design. MDF cabinetry typically costs between $5,000 and $15,000.
• Cons: Not as durable as wood and cannot be easily refinished if damaged.

Both wood and MDF cabinets are excellent choices for kitchen remodeling. We can help you choose the best material based on your design preferences and budget.

In addition to cabinetry, we offer a wide selection of kitchen countertops as part of our Chicago kitchen remodeling services. Whether you prefer the durability of man-made materials like quartz or the natural beauty of stone, we provide expert fabrication and installation to ensure your countertops are a perfect fit.

Materials we offer:

• Man-made countertops: Quartz, porcelain, and solid surfaces
• Natural stone countertops: Granite, marble, quartzite, and soapstone

Man-Made Countertops (Quartz)

• Pros: Extremely durable, non-porous, and resistant to stains and scratches. Quartz countertops require little maintenance and come in a variety of colors and patterns. They typically cost between $3,000 and $7,000 for an average kitchen.
• Cons: Higher cost compared to some natural stone options and lacks the unique veining of natural materials.

Natural Stone Countertops (Granite, Marble)

• Pros: Each slab is one-of-a-kind, offering natural beauty that can’t be replicated. Granite and marble are heat-resistant, making them ideal for cooking spaces. Natural stone countertops range from $2,500 to $8,000, depending on the material and thickness.
• Cons: Requires regular sealing to prevent stains, and is more prone to chipping than man-made materials.

We provide complete kitchen countertop services, including helping you choose the best material, precise measurements, fabrication, and installation.

• Cons: Grout lines can be difficult to clean, and tiles may require more maintenance over time.
