What Carol Stream kitchens usually need
Small jobs as well as remodels
A loose cabinet door or a new faucet gets the same attention as a full kitchen; many customers start with a small job.
Opening up closed kitchens
A wall between kitchen and living space is a common request here; whether it can go depends on what it carries, which we check first.
Refreshing 1980s kitchens
Kitchens from the 1980s usually have good bones. Removing soffits, adding stone counters and LED lighting makes them feel current.

AfterCarol Stream kitchen, 1980s two-story: kitchen design & layout planning
The site: a 1980s two-story in Carol Stream. The kitchen as it was: golden-oak cabinets with oak soffits above, white Corian-style solid surface with a yellowed seam and black appliances. The main complaint was a kitchen closed off from the rest of the house. Finished kitchen: a new layout with an island, cabinets in light warm taupe, warm walnut butcher block counters and recessed lights and under-cabinet LED strips.
