"We had a good experience with New Look Home Remodel. They did a beautiful job remodeling our kitchen. Luke met with us to go over what we wanted and put together a computerized picture diagram of what our new kitchen would look like. Very helpful. We liked the selection of cabinets, counter and backsplash he offered us. The remodeling was completed in five weeks which is what he said it would take. He was very responsive when we called or texted with questions. The only complaint I have is that there were additional expenses he didn't tell us about upfront. His quote did not include the fee for the permit ($544.00). In addition, after the kitchen was gutted we discovered that some of the plumbing behind the sink was corroded and needed to be replaced ($1,100.00). I thought his quote was going to be all inclusive but we wound up having to pay a little more. Still, his price was fair and we would use him again if we decide to remodel our bathroom."

"I am very pleased with the work done by Asko and his team. I have hired EAH Custom Construction for two different projects: 1) They built a custom door for my laundry closet because standard doors did not fit in that space and it did not have a door frame. The only options were a barn door or the two leaf custom door that Asko built. 2) The floor tiling in the guest bathroom needed to be redone. I needed a plumber and a tiling company, and EAH does both. Asko even recommended the tile. His team was very respectful and professional."

"I hired them for a kitchen remodeling service for cabinets and coutertops. The service when they got here was fast and without trouble, They got done in two days the first day was cabinets which was finished that one day and the next day was countertops which was finished on same day as well and it looks awesome!!! I would hire these guys again any day especially if they did a plumbing job for 50 dollars! "

"Boz Construction is my go-to contractor for repairs and renos on my condo. They've repainted many of my rooms, and have done a complete remodel of my lower level living room to divide it and add a bedroom - the attention to detail is so good that you can't tell that it wasn't part of the original construction. They have also managed other minor repairs to my unit and some bigger maintenance projects for my condo building itself. While they might be more expensive than their competitors, what I've learned in this sector is that you get what you pay for and with Boz, it's been worth it."

FAQs for kitchen remodel projects in Chicago, IL

Your galley kitchen needs adequate clearance around any island installation to maintain functionality. Most galley kitchens lack sufficient width for traditional islands, as these layouts prioritize efficiency in smaller spaces. 

If your kitchen has an unusual width, consult with a kitchen designer who can evaluate your specific dimensions and recommend appropriate solutions. For narrower spaces, consider alternatives like rolling carts or narrow work tables that provide additional surface area without permanently restricting movement.

Kitchen remodels require six to 10 weeks for completion, though timelines vary based on project scope and material availability. Simple updates like cabinet refinishing and countertop replacement might finish within a few weeks, while comprehensive renovations involving structural changes often extend beyond two months. 

Planning stages add approximately four weeks before construction begins. Maintaining clear communication with your contractor and ordering materials early helps prevent unnecessary delays.

Common errors include insufficient clearance between opposing countertops, inadequate lighting that creates shadowy work areas, and poor storage planning that leaves countertops cluttered. Some homeowners select oversized appliances that overwhelm the space or invest in expensive features that don't address fundamental workflow issues. 

Careful planning, accurate measurements, and consultation with experienced professionals help avoid these pitfalls and ensure your renovation successfully addresses your kitchen's specific challenges.

Whether expansion makes sense depends on your home's layout, your budget, and your long-term plans. Combining a galley kitchen with neighboring spaces creates more open, flexible layouts that many buyers prefer. However, removing walls involves substantial costs, particularly if they contain plumbing, electrical systems, or structural elements. 

Sometimes, optimizing your existing galley layout through better storage solutions and lighting proves more cost-effective than expansion. Consult with a contractor to evaluate specific costs for your situation.

Effective galley kitchen lighting combines multiple sources to eliminate shadows and create visual spaciousness. Overhead fixtures provide general illumination, while under-cabinet lighting illuminates work surfaces directly. Consider recessed ceiling fixtures that don't protrude into limited headspace. 

Lighting with dimming capabilities allows adjustment for different activities. Reflective surfaces like glass tile backsplashes or glossy cabinet finishes help bounce light throughout the space, reducing the corridor effect common in galley layouts.
