"We were very happy with Paul and his crew on the design and final project. The only issue I have is that it is 2 years later and we are still waiting for things to be completed. Trim above a door that was never installed, shelf in a cabinet that was missing, soft closing cabinet door that needed to be fixed and a granite cutting board that was promised to us. These are minor things that do not take away from the beauty of the kitchen, it is just that when the job is finished and the final payment is made, forget about hearing from them again! (We have been trying to get in touch with them since December 2019!!)"

"The entire project was a fiasco. Larry went above and beyond to get the job but once he had the down payment it was downhill from there. He started the job 2 months later than he estimated. The installers didnâ t take steps to protect the floor and furniture so there was damage. A lot of saw dust fell into the microwave because they didnâ t cover it and it took weeks for me to get it all out. They reinstalled the microwave too high. Existing pull out shelves now get hung up, two shelves that were custom made also hang up because although they worked fine when empty, the weight of pots and pans makes it so I manually have to lift them over the edge of the cabinet. All of the door handles were installed crooked. Is the template broken? They scratched the dishwasher and slid it in crooked. The tile back splash looks great but every tile cut made for around the outlets is too big and jumbo outlet covers had to be purchased to hide the cut marks. The installer never returned to apply caulk. The installerâ s vehicle leaked a yellowish fluid staining my recently resealed driveway. The job was â finishedâ March 8 but Larry has not followed up with the installer to get the issues addressed. Even though Larry very condescendingly promised everything would be taken care of, he doesnâ t follow through. Two weeks has become 16 weeks. Beware, I specifically asked if his installers work for him. He did yes, they do. I should have been more specific. Larry hires independent contractors who work for many contractors. Larry has no control over when they can work. All he has are excuses for why they canâ t work. One of his favorites is, â heâ s sick, you donâ t want him in your house.â Another favorite line is, â Itâ ll be taken care of, o.k?"

FAQs for kitchen remodel projects in Winthrop Harbor, 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.
