Chicago Home Remodeling & General Contracting

Whether you’re opening up a pre‑war Lincoln Park layout or modernizing a 1990s condo galley, our kitchen projects begin with user‑centric space planning and end with chef‑grade functionality. 

Typical scope includes:

• Multilayer LED lighting plans for task, ambient, and accent zones
  
• Professional‑grade ventilation sized to Chicago Mechanical Code
  
  
• High‑durability quartz, quartzite, or sintered‑stone counters tested to withstand winter thermal swings

Primary suites, hall baths, and ADA conversions inside classic Chicago footprints. 

Key capabilities:

• Custom bathroom vanities sized for narrow brownstone rooms
  
• Heated floors and towel warmers tied to smart thermostats
