Storage problems we solve in Bartlett kitchens
Most kitchens don't run out of space; they run out of space you can reach. In Bartlett we fit roll-out shelves into existing cabinets, turn closets and empty walls into pantries and build banquettes with storage under the seat, so the counters can stay clear.
Spices, oils and baking sheets with no home
Narrow filler spaces can become slim pull-outs for spices and oils, and a vertical divider keeps trays and cutting boards on edge.
Pull-Out Shelves & Cabinet Organizers →Food lost on deep pantry shelves
Deep shelves hide cans behind cans. Shallower shelves, roll-out drawers or door racks keep everything in sight.
Pantry Design & Installation →Small appliances with nowhere to go
Stand mixers, air fryers and slow cookers crowd the counter. A pantry cabinet with a pull-out shelf or an appliance cabinet gives them a place.
Pantry Design & Installation →Trash can taking up floor space
If the trash can lives in the middle of the walkway, a cabinet pull-out with two bins puts it out of sight but still a step from the sink.
Pull-Out Shelves & Cabinet Organizers →Pantry that overflows onto the counter
When cereal boxes and paper towels live on the counter, the kitchen is short on pantry. A tall pantry cabinet or a converted closet gives food its own place.
Pantry Design & Installation →No place for the family to sit
When there's room for a small table but not for chairs to pull out, a bench built against the wall makes the nook usable.
Built-In Breakfast Nook & Banquette →Pots stacked in deep base cabinets
Deep lower cabinets swallow cookware. Full-extension roll-outs sized to the opening let you see and lift every pot from standing height.

What bothered the owners most: deep cabinets nobody could reach into. Finished kitchen: roll-out shelves in the base cabinets, a pull-out trash unit and a pantry wall, with the counters cleared. On site this meant storage walk-through, inserts and dividers, plus pantry cabinets.

Kitchen Storage & Pantry Solutions questions from Bartlett homeowners
What storage works in a small kitchen?
Small kitchens gain the most from making deep and corner cabinets reachable, then adding a slim pantry or a bench with storage.
Should I get pull-outs or a new pantry first?
Look at what ends up on the counter. Groceries point to pantry space; pots, lids and cleaning supplies point to roll-outs.
Can you add storage without replacing the cabinets?
Yes, that's most of our storage work. We only suggest modifying or adding cabinets when inserts can't fix the problem.
How long does a storage project take?
Most of the time goes into measuring and building the parts. Installation itself is usually short.
Can you add more storage to an older kitchen?
Yes. Older cabinets often take roll-outs well, and a nearby closet or nook can become a pantry.
Bartlett building permit for storage project: where do I apply?
Permits go through Building Division (Planning & Development Services), phone 630-540-5920. When your scope needs one, we prepare the application and schedule the inspections.
Bartlett contractor registration: do kitchen contractors need it?
All contractors must be licensed by the Village of Bartlett (per trade); licensing questions via Main Office 630-837-0800. We take care of that before work starts.
Do I need a permit for storage project in Bartlett?
It depends on the scope. Bartlett's rule in short: Building permits are required for all construction and home improvement projects, whether done by homeowner or contractor; Remodel is a listed permit type. We handle the permit when one is needed with Building Division (Planning & Development Services).
Do you work in my part of Bartlett?
Yes. Our crews work across Bartlett — ZIP 60103, 60120 — and nearby Hanover Park, Carol Stream, Bloomingdale.
