What Glenview kitchens usually need
Refreshing 2000s kitchens
Many kitchens here date from the 2000s: solid layouts with dated finishes. Paint, new counters and lighting change them without moving walls.
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.
Protecting single-family homes during work
In single-family homes we stage materials in the garage or driveway, protect the path to the kitchen and clean up every evening.

Before and after: kitchens in Glenview
Before
AfterA Glenview 1950s ranch: before and after
The site: a 1950s ranch near The Grove. The kitchen as it was: mint-green 4-inch ceramic tile and laminate with an aluminum edge band. The reason for the call: an old 4-inch tile strip that dated the room. Finished kitchen: a white subway tile backsplash with clean edges and outlets set flush.

AfterKitchen Cabinet Painting in a 1950s ranch, Glenview
This one is a 1950s ranch near The Park. The kitchen as it was: dark walnut-stained flush-panel cabinets with brass pulls. The reason for the call: orange-looking wood that made the room feel old. Finished kitchen: the same doors sprayed in pale sage, new polished nickel pulls; counters and floor stayed as they were.

Before
AfterKitchen Design & Layout Planning in a postwar bi-level, Glenview
The site: a postwar bi-level near The Park. Before: original birch cabinets painted white decades ago, sagging doors, chrome pulls, laminate with an aluminum edge band and an older white range and a white refrigerator. What bothered the owners most: a cramped layout and storage that didn't work. The result: a new layout with an island, cabinets in warm white shaker, light gray quartz counters and a flush drum fixture and under-cabinet lights.
