"Saw this guy driving on the highway with some serious road rage. Purposely swerving into another car and blocking them when they tried to pass. I wouldn't hire someone who loses their head that easily"

"Honest and professional. The team did a great job. Communicated the whole time. Was super accommodating to me and the family. Would recommend to everyone. I had a leaky toilet that leaked for far too long and destroyed parts of the subfloor and the ceiling of the room underneath. Everything was repaired, reinforced, and picked new tile too. "

"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 Fox 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.
