"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!"

"Paul was extremely professional and he even went beyond what was originally asked of him.   <br /> - Paul and two of his co-workers removed all of the drywall, plus the wall and floor tiles, tub, and toilet, and hauled away all of the debris. <br /> - Some of the plumbing had to be redone as Paul found some rusting pipes in the wall.  He told the building engineer about this issue since the pipe actually belonged to the neighbor across from me and he was given permission to fix this pipe.  He was compensated from the condo association for this additional work. <br /> - The first thing to be installed was a custom one-piece show base purchased from Corna Kitchen Bath & Tile. <br /> - They installed new drywall, wall tile was installed and grouted, and then new floor tile was installed. <br /> - They installed a hand held shower faucet, a rein shower, recessed lighting in the ceiling, and a sliding glass shower door. <br /> - The entire bathroom was primed and painted. <br /> - A new toilet was installed, plus a new vanity, vanity sink, faucet, mirror, and lighting. <br /> I have to say that this work was exceptional and I would not hesitate to recommend Paul to anyone who needs their bathroom remodeled.  Even the engineer in the building commented to me about how neat Paul was after everything was torn down.  Plus after the job was completed, he took pictures of the work and about a week later, he called me asking for Paul's phone number so he could recommend him for another job in the building. <br /> We did spend quite a bit on the materials (approx. $8,000) as we bought everything from Studio 41 and Corna Kitchen Bath & Tile. But I have to say that everything we bought was worth it and the bathroom now looks amazing! <br /> Thanks Paul. <br />"

"Our project turned out beautiful! I want to preface this by saying this was not the first time we used Joe (Anix) for a home project. Two years ago we hired him to update a house our son had purchased. We we so impressed with his work then (I did write a review for that job), that we immediately thought of him when we purchased this downsize house for us. When he came out to see the house, he went room to room with my husband and me to see what we were wanting quotes on. We ended up putting up wainscoting in dining room and hallway, adding crown molding to several rooms on the main floor and changing out base boards. Painting all trim and all rooms on main floor, 4 bedrooms, 3 baths and basement. Painting all inside doors. They painted the kitchen cabinets and 2 bathroom cabinets a satin paint. They replaced faucets and lighting in those areas as well. Kitchen and 2 baths had new quartz installed and backsplash in the kitchen. They built a media cabinet (from a picture that I had found) on a full wall for a large TV with custom shelving and cabinets. They updated the fireplace by putting a shiplap wood extending to the ceiling with added crown molding. They replaced the tile surround on the face of the fireplace and on the floor inlay in front. New fanlights in 4 bedrooms and family room. TV wall mounts put in 2 rooms and 1 in basement. Updated all main floor and upstairs recessed lights with new led recessed. Updated all fire detectors to code electrical throughout. Changed outdoor light fixtures on front porch, back porch and garage. Painted front door and installed door knocker. We wanted the oak banister stained and the spindles painted white. Joe mentioned putting in black iron balusters might be more cost effective than trying to paint the oak white. In the meantime, we asked about pulling up the carpet on the stairs and staining them to match the floor -- and, so he did. Lastly, we changed the balusters to nickel instead or the black, and they look amazing! Everything looks better than we could imagined. Originally when we were looking to downsize, my husband was more interested in the homes that were already updated and much more costly. I told him that if we found a house with good layout and in the same neighborhood we wanted to live in, that I'd help him update it to look as good as the other homes that he fell in love with. He is so happy with the work Joe and his group have done for us. We haven't fully moved in yet, but we can't wait to enjoy our new home. Joe is kind, considerate, organized, and he is a gentleman. He cleans up the work area everyday better that I clean my house, and he finds time to answer any emails promptly. His team is the same; they are true professionals. They are helpful in so many ways. We have lived in many cities and we have never come into contact with a construction company like Anix. We plan to use him again for other projects."

"The gentelmen replaced my leaking kitchen faucet. My faucet sets in a very narrow space, therefore the job is not easy. He worked hard to get the job done well. Afterwards, he cleaned the area and made sure there were no leaking everywhere. I appreciated his help much."

FAQs for kitchen remodel projects in Wauconda, 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.
