What makes Assembly Squad different from other kitchen contractors?

Assembly Squad is a true design-build firm — one company handles design, cabinetry coordination, and construction. Most luxury kitchen projects require 3-4 different companies (designer, cabinet maker, general contractor, specialty trades), creating coordination headaches and finger-pointing. We eliminate that with a single point of contact, single timeline, and single contract. With 500+ completed projects and A+ BBB rating, we have the experience to execute complex luxury renovations.

What is the ROI on a luxury kitchen renovation?

Luxury kitchen renovations in Chicago typically return 70-85% of investment at resale, compared to 50-70% for standard kitchen remodels. Premium finishes, professional-grade appliances, and quality craftsmanship are expected by buyers in neighborhoods like Gold Coast, Lincoln Park, and the North Shore, making luxury renovations a strong investment.

Where is your showroom located?

Our 2,500 sq ft design-build studio is at 2315 N Southport Ave in Lincoln Park. Open Monday-Friday 9am-6pm and Saturday 10am-4pm. Browse cabinet samples, premium countertop materials, luxury tile, high-end hardware, and see 3D photorealistic renderings of your kitchen. Our headquarters is at 205 N Michigan Ave, Suite 810.
