"We used MH Renovations this past spring to perform a complete remodel of our kitchen and to get a new roof and gutters installed and they did an awesome job! Matt was very responsive, transparent with estimates, provided regular updates on progress including pictures, and was flexible with incorporating modifications on the fly. The renovation was completed ahead of schedule and turned out even better than we had expected. If you want a contractor who is reliable and provides a high quality result, I highly recommend using MH Renovations."

"We have a beautiful, bright, functional kitchen now. Top bro’s redid our whole house which we now love. With Cesar and his team if you dream it you can have it! They designed a wonderful space. Extra drawers in a massive island and built in trash/recycle. The cabinets, counter, all 3 bathrooms, tile work and wood floors are gorgeous. The top bro’s kept everything as clean & tidy as possible every one who entered our home was honest, respectful, trustworthy and friendly! I felt comfortable leaving my home while the guys were working in the house. Cesar and his crew were very responsive to our questions throughout the whole process. Thanks. Would definitely recommend the top bro’s for any project you need done you won’t be disappointed. Will be using them of all of my projects in the future!"

"Ed and his team did a superb job on our Kitchen. It was a big job. The kitchen had not been touched for over thirty years. We had a wall removed and we closed an outside entrance in order to have a larger and longer dining/kitchen area. The contractor team lead was Danny, and his team members (Rosendo, Kevin, Juan and Pablo) were absolutely the-best-crew. They were prompt everyday and kept me informed on a daily basis of their progress. If for some reason they would be late or needed to leave early Danny would tell me ahead of time. Danny would also tell who on his team would be there. They worked very hard and the quality of their workmanship is top notch. Their attention to detail in every task they performed has produced a lovely remodeled Kitchen and dining area. We LOVE IT. Everyone who sees it also LOVES IT. My wife and I couldn't be happier with Ed and Mastercraft and Design and I would recommend them in a heart beat, and have to everyone I talk too. If you are planning a job hire them, don't even bother to get other quotes. They are that good. They did everything from demolition, framing, electrical, plumbing, drywall, paint and trim. They installed all the lighting and appliances. The only thing they didn't install were the countertops, but those are beautiful too. They are definitely a one-stop-shop. I rarely comment on line, but their work product so pleased us it was the very least we could do. Again: hire them, they are that good."

"We are very happy with our kitchen remodel. Jakubek Remodeling was a pleasure to work with. They are prompt, curteous, and attentive to detail. There were a few setbacks on the project but none that were the fault of Jakubek. They helped us get through these issues and came up with some great ideas at no extra cost. They responded quickly to questions and concerns prior to even signing the contract. We would recommend this company. David and Robert were great to work with and we look forward to using them on or next project."

"I have had Cheslav and his crew do all types of odd jobs around my house so when it came time to remodel my kitchen and first floor bath I had Above and Beyond quote the job.  Their prices were very fair and I already new the quality of work they do so I hired them for the job.  My experience was great. Not only did they do a great job and make everything look great but they were always on time and did what they said they would do. I am not the easiest person to do work for because I ask a lot of question and really like to know what is going on at all times.  Cheslav always answered his phone and always took time to speak with me and keep me up to speed on progress.  I continue to use them for odd jobs around the house and they continue to be fair and easy to work with.

"Nathan did an excellent job for us. We had two bathrooms that needed remodeling in my parents home, one of them proved to be more challenging than what we expected but everything turned out beautiful in both of them. He was very professional, friendly and goes above and beyond to make sure that the customer is happy. I would highly recommend him to anyone."

FAQs for kitchen remodel projects in Crystal Lake, 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.
