Kitchen Remodeling
Serving DeKalb, Aurora, Batavia, Geneva, & Sycamore
Renovating the Heart of the Home
The kitchen has many uses in your home. Whether you use it to prepare meals or socialize with family and friends, the space should reflect who YOU are as a person so that every part of this room speaks volumes about what kind of individual lifestyles fit best for everyone living there!
Not only will this give us beautiful spaces where beauty reflects who YOU really ARE (not what someone else wants), but these improvements also increase property value which may just make those bank loans easier.
If your kitchen is small, dark, and outdated, it's time to start thinking about a kitchen remodel. Not only will you be able to enjoy a stylish, functional kitchen, but you'll also see an increase in the value of your home.
A kitchen remodel is the perfect opportunity for you to create a space that reflects your personal style. Do not hesitate! Contact us today at (815) 756-9779 and one of our experts will help get everything started on this exciting journey towards better living through design with Batavia, Geneva, Dekalb, Aurora, and Sycamore Kitchen Projects.
An investor should make sure they know what type s/he wants before investing in property because there's no turning back after committing money into something only desires right away.

Our Kitchen Contractor Process
Whether you are ready for a full kitchen to remodel or just an update, we are here to help you through the process.
- We initially meet with you in your existing kitchen to determine how you currently use your kitchen, what you really like about it, and what will be the most efficient use of space.
- We design your kitchen using the input from our onsite meeting. Many selections and options come into play when remodeling a kitchen, and we will lead you through the process.
- At the next meeting, we discuss the plans in our conference room. Our software allows you to see 3-D views of your new kitchen. We can make changes while you watch.
- After we have developed a plan, we will do a walk-through with our building trades team members. This allows us to give you an exact price for your project.
- We review the plan with you, recapping the feedback and insights from our team members. We do this to address any potential challenges before the project starts.
- As we head to production, we provide you with an expectation of when the project will start, when it will end, and what will happen in the interval between those two points.
