Can I live at home during my Streeterville kitchen remodel?

Usually yes. We can set up a temporary kitchen, and work is scheduled during weekday hours. Many clients choose to be away during demolition days and countertop installation day.

Should I choose IKEA, semi-custom, or custom cabinets?

IKEA kitchens often cost $15,000–$25,000 and suit many condos. Semi-custom runs about $20,000–$35,000 and balances cost and fit. Custom ($30,000–$50,000+) is best for unique layouts or premium finishes.

Do you work on historic Streeterville homes?

Yes. We preserve architectural details while updating plumbing, electrical, and layout. Historic home projects often range from $75,000–$150,000 depending on scope.

Do you handle HOA and building requirements?

Yes. We coordinate with building management and HOA boards, provide required insurance documents, schedule elevator use, and ensure compliance with building rules.
