Logan Square Kitchen Remodel - Affordable Transformation
We were hired to modernize this kitchen in a beautiful Logan Square single-family home. The client wanted an affordable kitchen remodel—and we delivered outstanding results that exceeded their expectations while staying under budget.
I'm Viktor with Assembly Squad Remodeling LLC—we've completed 500+ renovation projects since 2013 (Illinois License #TGC098779, BBB A+ rating). We specialize in kitchen remodeling throughout Logan Square, Bucktown, Wicker Park, and Chicago's northwest side neighborhoods.
The Vision: Modern Kitchen on a Budget
This Logan Square home needed a modern touch. The existing kitchen was functional but dated, and the clients wanted to transform it into a space that reflected their style without breaking the bank. They had specific ideas for custom features, including a bench and dry bar inspired by spaces they'd admired.
We love these projects—helping homeowners achieve their dream kitchen at a price point that works for them. Affordable doesn't mean basic. It means smart planning, efficient execution, and knowing where to invest for maximum impact.
Complete Kitchen Renovation Process
Our team got right to work, starting with careful demolition of the existing kitchen cabinets. We protected the rest of the home and managed debris removal efficiently—critical in occupied homes where families continue living through the renovation.
With the space cleared, we completed rough plumbing and electrical work according to City of Chicago code. This included updating connections for the new layout and ensuring everything was inspected and approved before moving forward.
Drywall was installed where needed, creating clean surfaces for the new cabinetry. Our team paid attention to details here—proper taping, mudding, and sanding create the foundation for a flawless finished product.
Custom Cabinets & Stone Surfaces
The centerpiece of this renovation: custom kitchen cabinets based on our unique design. We worked with the clients to create a cabinet layout that maximized their storage needs while achieving the modern aesthetic they wanted.
The stunning stone countertop with matching stone backsplash ties the whole design together. Using the same material for both surfaces creates visual continuity and elevates the kitchen's overall look—a designer touch that doesn't have to cost designer prices when you plan smartly.
Custom Features: Bench & Dry Bar
One of the most rewarding parts of this project was bringing the client's vision for custom features to life. They'd seen inspiration images for a bench seating area and dry bar and wanted something similar in their home.
We designed and built both features to complement the new kitchen design. The bench provides additional seating and storage, while the dry bar creates a perfect spot for entertaining—exactly what the clients envisioned when they started this project.
New Appliance Installation
We installed all of the client's new appliances, ensuring proper connections, ventilation, and functionality. Appliance installation might seem straightforward, but proper installation matters for warranty coverage, safety, and performance.
