Soffits above the cabinets
Removing the soffit gains a full row of storage. Sometimes it hides a duct or a vent stack — we check before demolition and plan around it.

Kitchen problems we solve in Bloomingdale
A kitchen remodel in Bloomingdale usually starts with one complaint — no counter space, cabinets that are falling apart, or a room that is closed off from the rest of the house. We fix the cause, not just the look: layout, storage, lighting, wiring and plumbing, then the finishes you see every day.
Tile counters and fluorescent box lights
Grout lines that never come clean and a buzzing light box are typical in 1970s kitchens. Stone counters and flush LED lighting change the whole room.
Kitchen cut off from the family room
A kitchen that faces a wall while the family is in the next room — we look at opening up the wall or turning the layout so the cook faces the room.
No place to sit
Kids doing homework while you cook need a place to sit. We fit an island or peninsula with proper overhang and clearance.
Not enough storage
Wall cabinets to the ceiling, a pantry pull-out, deep pot drawers and a corner solution that actually opens — storage is usually the first thing we fix in the plan.
Dated look
Orange oak, almond appliances, laminate with rolled edges, a fluorescent light box — we replace the finishes that date the room and keep anything still worth keeping.
Two people can't cook at once
When the sink, range and fridge sit in a line with no landing space, we rearrange the zones and widen the aisle to a comfortable 42 inches where the room allows.
Small kitchen that feels cramped
Taller cabinets, a counter-depth fridge, lighter colors and a peninsula instead of an island make a small kitchen work harder.

AfterKitchen Remodeling in a two-story colonial from the 1990s, Bloomingdale
This one is a two-story colonial from the 1990s near Old Town Bloomingdale. The kitchen as it was: honey-oak cathedral raised-panel cabinets with worn finish near the handles, brass knobs, almond laminate with a backsplash lip, beige sheet vinyl and a fluorescent box light in the ceiling. What bothered the owners most: a dated kitchen with worn surfaces everywhere. After: cabinets in pale sage with unlacquered brass knobs and cup pulls, charcoal concrete-look quartz counters, a terracotta-look square tile backsplash, light oak hardwood flooring and black cage pendants and slim recessed lights. On site this meant demolition and protection, cabinets, plus project management.

AfterKitchen Remodeling in a 1970s split-level, Roselle
The site: a 1970s split-level in Roselle. The kitchen as it was: dark stained oak cabinets with wide face frames and a scalloped wood valance over the sink, harvest-gold laminate, brick-pattern sheet vinyl and a large fluorescent light box. What bothered the owners most: tired laminate, old flooring and poor light. After: cabinets in light greige with brushed nickel bar pulls, light marble-look quartz counters, a terracotta-look square tile backsplash, black-and-white checkerboard tile flooring and two glass pendants and recessed lights. On site this meant design and layout, cabinets, plus drywall and paint.

Kitchen Remodeling questions from Bloomingdale homeowners
Is it worth keeping my 1970s layout?
If it works for you, yes. Keeping the plumbing and gas in place leaves more budget for what you see.
How long does a kitchen remodel take?
Plan on several weeks of construction for a typical kitchen, plus cabinet lead time beforehand. We give you a written schedule before demolition starts.
Can you remove a wall to open the kitchen?
Usually. We check the structure, get the beam engineered if needed and handle the permit and inspections.
How long will a remodeled kitchen last?
Well-built cabinets and stone counters last decades; finishes like paint and flooring may need refreshing sooner.
Can I keep my appliances?
Yes. Give us the model numbers and we plan the cabinets around them, or around the upgrades you plan to make.
Can Bloomingdale bulk pickup take my old appliance or cabinets?
Hauler SBC Waste Solutions: bulk items (up to 2 cubic yards, e.g. furniture) and white goods (appliances) covered under flat rate. If you'd rather not deal with it, we haul old units and debris away.
Does Bloomingdale require a licensed plumber for kitchen remodel?
Plumbing license required depending on permit type, and a Letter of Intent is required for all plumbing work. Our plumbing connections are made by licensed plumbers.
