Before and after: kitchens in Highland Park
Before
AfterKitchen Backsplash Installation in a 1950s ranch, Highland Park
A 1950s ranch near St. John's, a typical kitchen for Highland Park. What we started with: yellow 4-inch tile and light beige laminate. The main complaint was an old 4-inch tile strip that dated the room. The result: a white 2x8 tile in a vertical stack backsplash with clean edges and outlets set flush.

Before
AfterKitchen Island & Peninsula Installation in a 1960s ranch, Highland Park
A 1960s ranch near Downtown Highland Park, a typical kitchen for Highland Park. Before: dark walnut-stained flush-panel cabinets with brass pulls and speckled laminate. What bothered the owners most: too little counter space and nowhere to sit. Finished kitchen: a new island in dusty blue with a creamy quartzite-look quartz top and seating.

Do you work everywhere in Highland Park?
All of Highland Park, including Ravinia District, Downtown Highland Park, Port Clinton, St. John's — ZIP 60035 — and the towns next door: Northbrook, Glenview, Buffalo Grove.
Highland Park contractor registration: what is required?
The City publishes contractor requirements on its Building Division page (new building codes effective March 1, 2026). We take care of it before work starts.
What is Highland Park doing about lead service lines?
City states it is in full compliance with state and federal lead and copper rules and has run a corrosion control program for 26 years; water plant phone 847-433-4355. If yours is unconfirmed, a filter certified for lead reduction at the kitchen sink is a sensible step.
Is Highland Park water hard?
Highland Park's water source: Lake Michigan, treated at the City's own Water Treatment Plant at the east end of Park Avenue. It matters for filters, faucets, dishwashers and ice makers, and we plan fittings around it.
What should I expect when remodeling a Highland Park kitchen?
A lot of Highland Park homes date from the pre-1940. We know these layouts well: which walls carry load, where the old plumbing runs and what is worth keeping.
Will the work make a mess of the house?
We cover floors and the path to the kitchen, contain dust and clean up every day. Old materials leave with us.
