Kitchen Remodeling in St. Charles & the Fox Valley
Cabinets, counters, lighting and the plumbing and wiring behind them, built by one accountable crew.
Most kitchen remodeling calls we take in St. Charles and Geneva start the same way: the layout fights the cook. A peninsula blocks the dishwasher door. The only free outlet is behind the toaster. The pantry is across the room from the refrigerator. We start by measuring what is actually there, then talk through what the walls, the joists and the existing plumbing will let you move. Estimates are free and they come to you in writing, in English or Spanish.
Then the work. Cabinets come out, the old flooring comes up, and we look at the subfloor before anything new goes down. Soft spots under a dishwasher or a sink base get cut out and replaced rather than covered over. Supply and waste lines move while the walls are open. Circuits get pulled for the range, the microwave and the under-cabinet lighting. The rough-in gets looked at before drywall closes any of it in.
Cabinet and countertop lead times drive the schedule more than labor does, so we order early and hold your start date until the boxes are on site. Templating for stone happens after the cabinets are set and level, never off a drawing. We keep dust control up at the openings, sweep the room at the end of every shift, and leave you a working sink and refrigerator for as long as the sequence allows.

Why homeowners here hand us the kitchen
One crew, one contact
You talk to Jesus, not a call center. The same crew that demos the kitchen sets the cabinets, so nothing gets lost in a handoff between separate subcontractors.
The rough-in done right
Plumbing and electrical go in while the walls are open. Moving a sink or adding a range circuit costs far less now than it will after the drywall is up.
Dust control, every day
We tape off the openings, cover the paths we walk, and sweep at the end of each shift. Clients tell us the daily cleanup is the part they remember.
Honest about lead times
Cabinets and stone set the schedule. We tell you what the shop quoted before you sign, and you hear from us the same day if a delivery slips.

Questions
Kitchen Remodeling questions
Ask us anything that is not covered here — call, text or send the form.
Can we keep using the kitchen during the remodel?
Partly. There is a stretch, starting once the sink and range are disconnected, when the kitchen is genuinely out of service. We tell you at the estimate where that falls in the sequence so you can set up a temporary spot. Many clients move the refrigerator and microwave to the garage or the dining room.
Do you supply the cabinets or should we order them?
Either works. We can quote cabinetry through our suppliers, or install boxes you have already bought. If you are ordering yourself, send us the spec sheets before you place the order. Filler widths, blind corners and appliance clearances are easy to get wrong on paper, and a wrong box is a long wait.
Can you move the sink to the island?
Often, yes. It depends on what is under the floor. Over a basement or crawlspace we can usually get the drain and the vent where they need to go. On a slab it means cutting concrete, which changes both the price and the schedule. We look underneath before we answer that one.
