"It was great. These guys are not your typical contractor that you have to explain 1000 times what you want, they are experienced professionals and have a very meticilous process of how they bring your dream kitchen to life. Chris was very easy to talk to and he has ideas that would fix any issues you had with your old kitchen. Hope we get to work with them again."

"This was an EXCELLENT EXPERIENCE! We are thrilled with the transformation that TopBros preformed in our home! The project allowed us redesign our kitchen and master bath into spaces to be thrilled to show off and enjoy! The entire house looks amazing. The communication was very good. TopBros will keep you informed on the schedule through out the job and THEY FINISHED ON SCHEDULED. We are VERY pleased with the work TopBros did for us and are recommending to family and friends. This is a solid family owned, community minded company.! We will definitely use them again."

"The process was flawless. Lukasz was a total professional. He made an excellent presentation based or needs/wants for a brand new kitchen. The work from the crew was superior. I couldn’t be any happier. It was well worth the reasonable cost. If you are looking for a new kitchen New Look Home Remodel is the way to go. "

"I called Jakubek earlier in the year to get a quote for a kitchen remodel. I had a few requests for the remodel: take down a wall, get more counter and cabinet space and install a dishwasher (finally after 12 years in my house without one!). Dawid and Robert came out to my home and discussed with me what I wanted, took measurements and said they would need a few days to come up with a design. They gave me recommendations of websites to start looking at finishes and suggested I start thinking of what I would want for floors, counters, cabinets, etc. A few days later, they came back with an awesome design that incorporated all of the requests in a beautiful and functional manner. They gave me digital renderings of what it would look like and a fully detailed quote that was affordable in within my budget. To be honest, it came back on the lower end of my budget so I called them back and added to the scope of the work. We worked together to adjust the design to my liking and once it was perfect, we signed the contract. Through the whole process, the Jakubek team was extremely communicative and helpful in the planning process. They listed to what I wanted and helped me achieve it. Every time I had a question, it was answered quickly and honestly. Although I picked all the finishes and colors myself, Dawid was always helpful in giving me honest opinions on whether what I picked would work and be functional in my new kitchen. He soon became a trusted advisor and I felt very confident in his recommendations. He kept me informed of the work happening on the project every day. I really appreciated the communication! They worked very efficiently and professionally. Always punctual. At the end of every day, my home was left in an organized and clean manner and they completed all the work in logical order so that the progress flowed properly. All the details were completed just as they had promised and I was really impressed with their craft. It was really enjoyable to watch it all come to reality. So I started with a kitchen remodel and ended up with a beautifully renovated home. I mentioned before that I added to the scope of work in the beginning and then added again two more times! Each time I requested the additional work, Dawid would give me all the details on cost and how it would effect the completion date. So not only did I have the kitchen done (including all new wood cabinets and quartz counters, took down the wall and moved the footprint/layout of the kitchen), I had new hardwood floors installed on my first level and had existing hardwood floors and stairs refinished on my second floor. They painted my entire first floor and upstairs hallway, installed all new trim on my doors and windows on my first and second floor and replaced all my doors too! I literally have a new house thanks to Jakubek!"

"I hired ABC Home Expert to remodel my entire first floor, and I’m very happy with how everything turned out. We spent around $63,000 including materials and cabinets, and the results really transformed our home. The project included remodeling a small guest bathroom and laundry area, replacing all the flooring in the living room, dining room, and kitchen, updating the kitchen cabinets and countertops, and painting the entire kitchen. They also added can lights, which made a big difference in how bright and welcoming the space feels. One thing I really appreciated was the support I received from their team throughout the process. Before starting, they worked on four different design options to make sure we found the perfect fit for our needs and style. They were professional, patient, and always available to answer questions or make adjustments when needed. Overall, it was a smooth experience, it took a little more than two months. I am glad it is over and I can enjoy my home. I would definitely recommend ABC Home Expert to anyone planning a home remodel."

Customers say: Quality work

"When we bid out the work for our kitchen remodel, we were looking for a number of things from a contractor: (1) professionalism; (2) commitment to quality; (3) project management to coordinate the entire process; (4) constant and consistent communication (both listening and delivering); and, (5) cost effectiveness. We agreed to go with Room by Room because we felt they would deliver on all of these qualities based on our conversations with Tom and testimonials from their vendors and clients. We can now say with certainty that we made the right choice. RBR not only met all of our requirements, they managed to exceed them with every interaction we had with members of their team. Though it was disruptive, they all made it more than bearable because of their diligence, hard work and good humor. We couldn't be more pleased with the outcome and we have received many compliments on the kitchen. We will certainly be recommending RBR to our friends & family and will use them in the future when we update other rooms in the house."

"We used Above & Beyond Construction to gut and remodel one full and one half bathroom in our 1960-built house. This was our first big home remodeling project and we couldn’t have been happier with the results. Chester and his crew were easy to work and communicate with, kept us updated with timing and progress, and identified additional issues that needed to be addressed (aka some really nasty old corroded cast iron pipes and cracked joists in our basement) to prevent future catastrophes. If we hadn’t fixed them we know we’d have ended up having to rip out the beautiful new bathroom within 6 months due to the failure of the old plumbing! They take pride in their work and take care to protect the rest of the house from dust and dirt, completely clean up the work site at the end of every day, and we had no problem trusting any of them in the house when we couldn’t be home. There were no budget surprises, either; the estimate was right on target. When we get up the nerve to tackle the gut rehab of our old kitchen we will look no further than Above & Beyond Construction!"

FAQs for kitchen remodel projects in Des Plaines, 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.
