"The entire staff was exceptional. From the start of our kitchen remodeling project, they made us feel like family and we knew exactly what to expect throughout every step in this process! Bath & Kitchen Experts went out-of-the-way not only for themselves but also with other clients so our kitchen remodel would run smoothly too. Highly recommended if you're looking at high-end kitchen remodeling! Overall, the project came in within our budget plan and meet our specifications exactly. Five stars for Experts! They are fantastic people to work with all around."

"Tear out and remodel. I wish I hadn't posted my last review since Mark responded to it and everything was a big misunderstanding. Mark and his team did an amazing job on this project. New drywall, electrical closets, total tear out."

"We did a remodel of our Kitchen and Master bath. The kitchen was a big project, taking out a wall and removing the back door, enlarging our bay to accommodate sliding doors. New countertops, cabinets and an island were installed. Tile was removed from the kitchen/ foyer and replaced with hardwood floors. They gave us a time frame for 4 months. We added on painting, carpet installation. tiling a hallway and new vanity and toilet in the half bath. They accommodated the extra work and completed it in a timely manner, without interruption for other jobs. We could not be more pleased with the work. Everything turned out beautifully. Terry, Jody and Brian were a pleasure to work with. They were reliable, on time and cleaned up daily. Jody is a perfectionist and if something wasn't done right it would be redone to meet his standards. They were helpful with design and handled every add on. They did not ask for money up front and kept cost updated frequently."

"This was the second time I hired Americraft to do remodeling in my home. The first time, I had two bathrooms redone. I was pleased with the outcome, so this summer, I hired them to remodel my kitchen. Greg and his crew are professional, and know how to get the job done right. All I had to do was choose cabinets, lighting and fixtures. They did the rest. I had a very tight budget, but they were able to create the kitchen of my dreams within that budget. I also ended up having them refinish my living room floors and paint my living room walls as part of the project. I am truly happy with the results. I woulddefinitely hire Americraft again."

"OMG! I couldn’t be happier with the results! We wanted to update our kitchen and told Mr. Garcia what we envisioned and what our price mark was and he gave us many options. He suggested an open floor plan to add value to our home. They knocked down the kitchen walls, installed hardwood flooring throughout the entire level, added grand crown molding and a beautiful island. I can’t wait to cook in my kitchen now...we also had them update our bathroom floors. Everything came out beautifully! We will be hiring them again to do our lower level next year!"

"Better late than never. Can't say enough about the team at Envy. From start to finish Scott and Bill were in constant contact either in person or by text. If we had questions, they answered promptly. There aren't enough words to say about the master craftsman, Oleg. He is hardest worker and a perfectionist!!!!! He doesn't settle for OK, he strives for the best. My husband was in the "trade" as a custom cabinet maker for many years. We remodeled 4 houses ourselves over a 30 year period. Needless to say, he is very particular and knows the business. So, coming from him to be so pleased with our bathroom remodel says alot!!!! Many thanks for our beautiful bathroom, Mort & Jan Krogstad"

FAQs for kitchen remodel projects in Downers Grove, 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.
