"The team at Quintessential Renovations Inc. did a fantastic job replacing the cabinets in my kitchen! I could not be happier! Highly recommend them! They had the best customer service, all of their workers were friendly, clean, on time, and highly respectful. They did all of the correct prep work on the job and they really respected my home and belongings. They used great drop cloths and covered everything! They did almost all of the work in just two days and the entire project was completed in less than a week. Their estimate was right on the money and they worked so hard to keep things right where I needed them to be financially. They came up with creative solutions to my storage needs, designed some cool new corner cabinets, and gave me the greatest deal on the top of the line countertops that I just rave about! Everyone who came into my house was well spoken, super polite, and efficient and knowledgeable. Huge shout out to Nick Lyons and his whole team at Lyons Cabinetry Solutions and to Alex Jensen, the wonderful General Contractor who helped modernize my kitchen. Everything about dealing with them was a pleasure. Their communication was top notch."

"I hired Platinum Touch Industries LLC in the summer of 2018 for my first Fix and Flip remodel project and was impressed with their work. Vince and his team did a fantastic job from demo to cleanup to the finish touches per schedule. Vince was honest at front and very professional. Based on the Scope of Work I presented to him, we were all in the same page. Once milestones were completed within the Project Timeline, payment was made to him in a timely manner. Platinum is honest, reliable, and work ethic is impeccable. I was impressed with their work and demeanor, I hired them again the winter of 2018 for a minor remodel on one of my rental properties and in the Spring/Summer of 2019 for a Major Rehab on a Fix and Flip project in the Lombard area. I would recommend Platinum Touch Industries in all aspects for your Construction Project, whether it is a minor remodel to a major rehab. Thanks Vince and Bob for all you do. Keep up the Great Work!!!"

"We now have a beautiful kitchen. This price tag was on the high end, but that may have been due to either the high price of lumber at the time (Canadian wildfires) or the customer cabinetry that we needed or both. There were a few instances where I was glad we were on sight as I don’t know if the errors we saw would have been caught prior to them being installed. The upfront design and visualization is top notch, as is the quality of the material. The labor used to install was three star at best."

Addition to existing structure building services FAQs

How far you can push a room depends on the structure you choose. A cantilevered bump-out can extend 24 inches before building codes require its own footing or foundation. Anything longer needs engineered support and a permit. Check local codes or consult with a structural professional before finalizing plans to ensure your design remains safe and compliant.

Most bump-outs are completed within one to four weeks, even with minimal electrical, plumbing, or HVAC work. Their compact size means less demolition, simpler inspections, and fewer weather-related delays compared to a full-scale addition. Your contractor can provide a more precise timeline once they have determined the scope, materials, and permit schedule, but plan on having the extra square footage ready in approximately a month.
